Is Kojic Curatio Skin Lightening Cream Safe To Use For Tanned Skin?

I went to a holiday destination and spent almost three days in beaches and got sun-tanned.. My skin looks very dark now... Can I use Kojic curatio skin lightening cream to get my skin back to its natural color?? And how fast will my skin be back to its original color?

Hello,
Thank you for posting on HCM.
Kojic cream contains kojic acid, azelogyncia and lactokine which all promote skin lightening effect by decreasing pigmentation by different mechanisms.
It is safe to use twice a day on affected areas. Results may take weeks to be appreciable
Use broad spectrum sunscreen before going out in sun.
Also, enquire about procedures like chemical peeling, microdermabrasion etc from your dermatologist for better and faster results.
Hope this will take care of your issue.
Wish you best of health.
Thank you
