ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID
About ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID
ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID is a 'skin cosmetics' product that is primarily used for brighter, more radiant skin complexation. It moisturises the skin, clears the complexion, prevents skin sensitivity, wrinkle formation, sun damage (sunburn), and facial wrinkles, and fights anti-ageing. Sunburn is a skin injury that causes the skin to turn red after exposure to harmful sun rays for an extended period. Dark spots appear when certain areas of the skin begin to produce more melanin (a natural pigment that gives colour to the eyes, hair, and skin), ranging from light to dark brown. Dry skin is a condition in which the skin becomes dry and itchy, cracking, and scaling, especially during the winter. Wrinkles are fine lines and creases that form on the skin's surface. Wrinkles are typically associated with the natural ageing process. Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition in which patches of skin turn darker than the surrounding skin.
ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID is a combination of two drugs: Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and Kojic acid (oxidizing agent). Ascorbic acid is a powerful antioxidant that nourishes the skin and prevents ageing. It works by increasing the renewal of skin cells, which helps in the natural exfoliation of the skin’s outer layers. Kojic acid is a skin-lightening product that reduces melanin production and, improves skin tone, texture, sensitivity and reduces skin uneven colour.
ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID is for external use only. Apply a small amount of ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID to the clean and dry affected area as advised by your doctor. Avoid contact of ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID with nose, ears, mouth, or eyes. In case ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID comes in contact with these areas accidentally, rinse with water thoroughly. Your doctor will advise you how often you take ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID based on your medical condition. In some cases, you may experience irritation, itching, or burning sensation at the application site. Most of these side effects of ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.
Please tell your doctor if you are allergic to ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID or any other medicines. If you are pregnant or a nursing mother, please inform your doctor before using ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID. Do not apply ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID 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. Let your doctor know if you use any other medications you are taking, including vitamins, before starting ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID.
Uses of ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID
Medicinal Benefits
ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID shields the skin from harmful UV rays, lightens dark spots and blemishes, and keeps the skin even and soft. ASCORBIC ACID+KOJIC ACID is made up of two medications: ascorbic acid and kojic acid. Ascorbic acid is a potent antioxidant that nourishes and protects the skin from ageing. It protects the skin by neutralising reactive oxygen species produced by sunlight exposure. It works by increasing skin cell renewal, which aids in the natural exfoliation of the skin's outer layers. Kojic acid is a skin-lightening agent that is used to treat acne scars, melasma, hyperpigmentation, and photoaging. It also treats freckles, age spots, and chloasma (small brown spots on the skin) (darkened skin caused by hormonal changes). It works by reducing the amount of melanin (a skin pigment) that causes skin darkening. It is a skin-lightening product that reduces melanin production while also improving skin tone, texture, sensitivity, and skin discolouration.

Disease/Condition Glossary
Sunburn: It is a skin injury in which skin becomes red and happens when the skin gets exposed to harmful sun rays for a longer duration.
Dry skin: It is a condition in which skin becomes dry and marked by itching, cracking and scaling, especially in winters.
Sensitive skin: It refers to the skin that has a more strong reaction when coming in contact with dyes, fragrances and other products.
Hyperpigmentation is a skin condition in which patches of skin become darker in colour than the normal surrounding skin. This darkening of skin occurs when an excess of melanin (hormone), the brown pigment that produces normal skin colour, forms deposits in the skin.
Dark spots: These occur when some skin areas start producing more melanin(a natural pigment that gives colour to eyes, hair, and skin) which can range from light to dark brown.
Wrinkles: These are fine lines and creases that get formed in the skin. Usually, wrinkles represent a natural ageing process, but they can also happen on sun-exposed skin for a long duration.
