Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for writing to us
I have taken note fo your query and I am glad to help you with your concern.
I have reviewed the image. This cream contains kojic acid 2% cream. Kojic acid is a skin lightening agent because of its action on inhibition of synthesis of melanin--the pigment responsible for skin color and acne induced hyperpigmentation (PIH). Therefore this cream would of help in reducing hyperpigmentation/ dark spots left over from acne. This cream can be used once or twice daily, at the affected site.
