Does Kojic acid work well as a skin lightener and safe for a person with skin eczyma?
I have a fair complexion and my skin now looks a little tanned and has an uneven skin tone, especially on my arms. I recently bought Kojic acid soap and researched on it… I haven’t heard any reviews or feedback from people who used it and I’m afraid I might get dry skin because I also have eczyma (a form of dermatitis).
Is Kojic acid safe and as natural as numerous sources say it is? If not can anyone reccomend a good skin lightener?
I also apply ointment (Eucerin, but so far been using petroleum jelly) on my skin because of my dermatitis, is it also alright to place that when I use the Kojic acid soap? If it’s important to know, I’ve been using Dove unscented soap… but I just had to whiten my skin so I bought Kojic acid.
If anyone has good advice… THANK YOU!

Avoid the acids…… U will just get burnt my dear!

My advice, dont even try any more of that.
Go to a doctor for a proper prescription.
Good luck

dollapassadime says:That Acid $hit you usin,, you should stop that is going to make you skin lighter were you apply it then you would probably want for it to be.. I have ecsima too.. it usually shows up in the joint areas back of you knees where your arms bend , and sometims on the neck or even face.. Pure Shea Butter is a good thing to use and Aveeno.. Oatmeal baths.. Black Soap.. which is an African soap.. clears up ecsima break outs as well.. If you have never used Aveeno before , it’s sold in the bath/beauty dept.. at walmart , one place I know.. but yea keep vasonline on it .. if you don’t have anything else.. no lotion in dries it out.. Matter fact you can get some Jergans lotion with Shea Butter.. or Keri lotion.. that will smooth it out as well.. if needed.. hope something i said helps
