KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN belongs to a combination of 'skin cosmetics' primarily used for brighter, more radiant skin complexation. Besides this, it is also used to treat skin problems like dry skin, clears the complexion and prevents skin sensitivity, sun damage (sunburn), hyperpigmentation, melasma and photoaging (premature aging of the skin caused by repeated exposure to UV radiation). Sunburn is a skin injury in which skin becomes red and happens when the skin gets exposed to harmful sun rays for a longer duration. Dark spots occur when some skin areas start producing more melanin (a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair and skin), ranging from light to dark brown. Dry skin is a condition in which skin becomes dry and marked by itching, cracking and scaling, especially in winters.
KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN is a combination of two drugs: Kojic acid (oxidizing agent) and Allantoin (moisturizer). Kojic acid is a skin lightening product that reduces melanin production and improves skin tone, texture, sensitivity and reduces skin uneven colour. Allantoin works by forming an oily layer on the top of skin that traps in the water. Thereby moisturizes the outermost layer of skin and makes it smoother and softer. Also, it breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin.
KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN is for external (for skin) use only. Avoid contact with eyes, eyelids, lips, mouth and nose. If the medicine comes in contact with any of these areas, rinse with water immediately. In some cases, you may experience irritation, itching or burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your physician.

If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please inform your physician before using KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN. Do not apply KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN in large amounts or use for a long time than recommended as it does not give quick or better results but increases the risk of side effects. KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN can make the skin more sensitive in the sunlight, hence always use sunscreen and protective clothing before you step outdoors. It is recommended to avoid tanning booths and sunlamps. Please inform your physician if you are using any other medications you are using, including vitamins, herbal supplements before starting KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN.

KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN protects the skin from harmful sunlight, lightens dark spots and blemishes and the skin even tone and soft. KOJIC ACID+ALLANTOIN is a combination of two medicines, namely: Kojic acid and Allantoin. Kojic acid is an oxidizing agent with whitening properties which penetrates through the skin and oxidizes the melanocytes (melanin-producing cells) thereby lightens the complexion of skin. Allantoin is a moisturizing agent that forms an oily layer on the top of the skin which traps in the water. Thereby moisturizes the outermost layer of skin and makes it smoother and softer. Also, it breaks down a protein known as keratin (that forms part of skin structure) and removes dead skin cells and softens skin. Applying directly to the skin gets easily absorbed into the skin, provides excellent moisture to dry patchy skin areas and protects the skin from further damage caused by harmful sun rays. It is a skin lightening product that reduces melanin production and improves skin tone, texture, sensitivity and reduces skin uneven colour.
