Question

I'm curious if there are any side effects of using Glyaha Koj lotion. A dermatologist recommended it to me for removing a tan and it's been really effective for me, so I keep using it when I get tanned. Could there be any negative effects from using this lotion?

Glyaha Koj lotion, containing kojic acid, is generally considered safe for skin brightening and tan removal, but long-term or excessive use may lead to side effects like skin irritation, redness, itching, or dryness, and rare cases of allergic contact dermatitis have been reported, so continue using it with caution and discontinue if you experience any adverse reactions.

I'm really struggling with severe hair fall and I'm searching for effective solutions. I came across Sebowash shampoo and Keshma hair oil.
