A member asked:

Does relying to kojic soap for tight and fairer skin has its downfall?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Warren Wolfe answered

Don't know: I am not familiar with kojic soap. Consult with a dermatologist since there are fda approved topical medications that are safe and effective.
