I've got dark and oily skin with some acne marks, and I'm really hoping to lighten my skin tone. I've been hearing about creams with kojic acid that might help reduce melanin, but I'm not sure if they're right for me. Can using kojic acid actually help with my complexion? Would it be safe for my oily skin, and will it do anything for my acne scars?

Kozicure cream for local application is advised for 3-6 weeks , at bedtime ,if any side-effects dermat opinion is advised .
