Hi..

Well darkness of face and neck post pregnancy can be due to hormonal imbalances and if it is in the form of patches it can be Melasma..

Hyperpigmentation caused due to excessive melanin formation can be treated with depigmentation creams like those containing Kojic acid, glycolic acid, Vitamin E, Grapeseed extract, licorice etc can help..

So as you are advised to apply Kojivit , it is appropriate and can continue the same..

Using depigmenting facewash like those containing Salicylic acid and glycolic acid can help..

Treatments like Microdermabrasion and chemical peeling will help..
But if it is due to any underlying disorder treatment of the same has to be preceeded following the depigmentation treatment..

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
