KOJIC ACID
Is KOJIC ACID safe for seborrheic dermatitis?
Use with caution
Kojic Acid is best approached with caution because concentration, product format, exposure area, or personal sensitivity can materially change tolerance. Its presence alone cannot determine whether a complete product will suit you.
Check the complete ingredient list and product directions. Patch test when appropriate, and stop using a product that repeatedly causes burning, itching, or worsening symptoms.
