Hey, can you tell me how long I should be using Kojivit Ultra Gel? Is this something I'm supposed to use for my whole life, or is it just for a certain period? I'm a bit confused and would really appreciate some guidance on this.

Kojivit Ultra gel is typically used for a duration of 2-4 months to see visible results in skin lightening and pigmentation reduction. However, it is not meant for lifelong use. It is recommended to use it as per the guidance of your dermatologist and then take a break from the treatment to assess the results. If needed, your doctor may suggest a maintenance regimen or alternative treatments for long-term management.
