Can Kojivit Gel Reduce Skin Darkening Around The Eyes?
The skin around my eyes are dark. I had the habit of rubbing my eyes while sleeping. Now I try to give up this habit.Can this be the reason for skin darkening? I consulted a dermatologist and he advised to use Kojivit gel. Is this safe to use? I have dry skin.

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Dark circles under eyes or under eye pigmentation is a challenging condition to treat.
Its seen commonly in people having stressful life and irregular sleep and diet. Its also seen among people having atopic dermatitis and asthma. Sometimes its genetic due to deep sunken eye sockets in skull.
Most of the OTC products are not very useful.
Kojivit though contains ingredients which work for pigmentation, I dont think it can be of much benefit.
I would advise you to apply tacrolimus 0.03% ointment at night and AVARTA eye cream twice a day. Take oral Vit C regularly.
Additionally, a series of chemical peels like arginine, lactic acid etc from a certified dermatologist can help alot.
Try to de-stress your life and maintain a healthy schedule.
Hope you will be fine
Take care
