Kojic Acid Gel

Product Overview

Kojiglo Gel is a dermatological formulation featuring Kojic Acid as its active component. This topical treatment specifically addresses hyperpigmentation, age spots, and melasma, offering a clinically-proven approach to achieving a more uniform and luminous complexion. The gel’s advanced formulation ensures rapid skin absorption, making it an ideal addition to both morning and evening skincare regimens. With consistent use, it effectively diminishes discoloration while enhancing skin texture.

Therapeutic Applications

This dermatological gel is indicated for the treatment of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, solar lentigines, and hormonally-induced melasma. It may be applied to facial areas, extremities, or any body region exhibiting uneven pigmentation. The product also serves as a maintenance therapy for sustaining skin radiance and preventing pigmentary recurrence.

Application Guidelines

For optimal results, prepare the treatment area by cleansing with a mild, pH-balanced cleanser and patting dry. Dispense a pea-sized amount of gel and massage gently using circular motions until completely absorbed. Clinical studies recommend twice-daily application (morning and night) with mandatory daytime use of photoprotective agents (minimum SPF 30) to prevent paradoxical pigmentation.

Mechanism of Action

The therapeutic efficacy of Kojiglo Gel stems from its ability to competitively inhibit tyrosinase activity through chelation of copper ions at the enzyme’s active site. This interference with the melanogenic pathway results in decreased melanosome transfer to keratinocytes, leading to gradual depigmentation of affected areas. The formulation’s penetration enhancers ensure optimal bioavailability of the active ingredient.

Dosing Protocol

Apply a thin film of gel to affected areas bid, maintaining at least 8-hour intervals between applications. Periocular application requires special caution to avoid conjunctival exposure. Should persistent cutaneous irritation (erythema >48 hours) occur, implement a washout period and consult a dermatologist. Noticeable clinical improvement typically manifests after 4-6 weeks of continuous use.

Therapeutic Advantages

Adverse Effects

Transient cutaneous reactions including mild stinging (6.2% of users), xerosis (4.8%), and erythema (3.5%) may occur during initial treatment phases. These typically resolve with continued use as the stratum corneum adapts. Discontinue if vesiculation or severe pruritus develops and consult a healthcare provider.

Important Precautions

This product increases photosensitivity – rigorous photoprotection is mandatory. Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to hydroquinone derivatives. Not recommended for use during pregnancy (Category C) or on compromised skin barriers. Ocular exposure requires immediate irrigation with copious water for 15 minutes.

Storage Conditions
