Hello. Kojivit gel or Kojic cream from curatio one pea size drop for full face at night for 2 months will lighten acne marks. But No creams can improve scars as it is fibrous tissue. Procedures like peels or laser help. So see a local dermatologist for the same.

Hi lybrate-user!
you can use both safely during feeding. But do remember, soaps and face washes usually do not lighten up the skin color. Cream can help in lightening up to certain extent as breast feeding phase has hormonal fluctuations.

1. Use sour cream. The lactic acid found in sour milk can help treat and remove freckles naturally without causing irritation or dryness on the skin. Do this at least once daily until the freckles go away.
2. Apply fresh papaya juice directly on the freckles using a cotton ball and gently massage the area.
After 10 minutes, rinse the skin with cold water.
Do this once daily for at least for a few weeks or until you are satisfied with the results.

In my opinion apply seperately and do not mix as concentration of cream will decrease when mix with moisturizer
