Ive been dealing with this issue where the skin around my nose and chin is darker than the rest of my face. I even spoke to a dermatologist about it and tried the medicines and skin peeling methods they recommended, but they only seem to work as long as I keep using them. As soon as I stop, the darkness comes back. The rest of my face is much fairer in comparison. How can I get rid of this problem permanently?

While products like niacinamide and vitamin C can be effective, they require consistent use over several months to show noticeable results. Avoid harsh or bleaching agents that promise quick results, as they can cause further irritation and damage.

I was wondering if Kojivit Ultra Gel contains any steroids. I'm using it to help with hyperpigmentation, dark spots, and uneven skin tone. Would love to know if it's safe!
