I've noticed my hair density is thinning, and it's been happening gradually. It's mostly on the top of my head, while the sides and back are still okay. I'm wondering if wearing a helmet to work every day might be part of the problem. Do you think that's possible? Also, what can I do to regain my hair density? Would love some advice on this.

I'm wondering if it's okay to use Kozilite cream as my night cream long-term. I've been using it for about a month now and I love the results, but I recently read that using kojic acid for a long time might cause vitiligo. I have fair skin and don't have any pigmentation issues. Is it safe to keep using it?
