Medicine Description koji-c 2%
Koji C 15ml Cream is a medication that combines ascorbic acid, kojic acid, retinol, and tocopherol, each contributing uniquely to skin health. Ascorbic acid, also known as vitamin C, acts as a powerful antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and promoting collagen synthesis, thereby enhancing skin texture and brightness. Kojic acid, derived from fungi, inhibits the enzyme tyrosinase, which is crucial in melanin production, thereby helping to lighten hyperpigmented areas. Retinol, a derivative of vitamin A, accelerates cell turnover, promoting the shedding of dead skin cells and revealing fresher, more evenly pigmented skin beneath. Tocopherol, or vitamin E, works synergistically by providing additional antioxidant protection and moisturization, ensuring a smoother appearance and aiding in the overall efficacy of the other ingredients.
