Product Introduction
Kojiglo Forte Cream is a topical skin depigmentation formulation manufactured by Aurochem Laboratories (India) Pvt. Ltd. and marketed by Alkem Laboratories Ltd. It is designed for the management of hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone under appropriate professional guidance.
The formulation combines hydroquinone 2% with kojic acid dipalmitate 2%, niacinamide 4%, pine bark extract 6%, and other listed ingredients. These components target excess pigmentation through different mechanisms and may help improve the appearance of selected dark patches over time.
Important: Kojiglo Forte contains hydroquinone, which can cause irritation and other skin complications if used incorrectly or for prolonged periods. Use it only according to a dermatologist's instructions. Daily sun protection is essential during treatment.
Uses
-
Management of selected types of hyperpigmentation under dermatological supervision.
-
Treatment of dark patches associated with conditions such as melasma, when prescribed by a dermatologist.
-
Helping reduce the appearance of localized excess pigmentation.
-
Supporting improvement in uneven skin tone caused by excess melanin production.
The appropriate use depends on the cause of pigmentation, skin type and clinical assessment. Not every dark spot or skin discoloration is suitable for hydroquinone treatment.

How to Use
-
Follow the exact instructions provided by your dermatologist.
-
Clean the affected area gently and allow it to dry.
-
Apply a very thin layer only to the prescribed pigmented area, avoiding normal surrounding skin as much as possible.
-
Keep the product away from the eyes, eyelids, nostrils, lips and other mucous membranes.
-
Wash your hands after application unless your hands are the treatment area.
-
Use broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher during the day and reapply as directed, particularly when outdoors.
The carton mentions twice-daily application or use as recommended by a professional, with evening application suggested as the last step in the skincare routine. Because this cream contains hydroquinone, do not automatically follow the twice-daily direction without confirming the frequency and duration with your dermatologist. Do not extend treatment beyond the prescribed course.
How it Works
-
Hydroquinone 2%: Inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin synthesis, reducing pigment formation in treated skin.
-
Kojic acid dipalmitate 2%: A kojic-acid derivative included for its skin-brightening role; its performance depends on formulation and delivery.
-
Niacinamide 4%: Can help reduce the transfer of melanosomes from pigment-producing cells to surrounding skin cells and supports the skin barrier.
-
3-O-Ethyl ascorbic acid 2.5%: A vitamin C derivative with antioxidant activity that may support a more even-looking complexion.
-
Pine bark extract 6% and tetrahydrocurcumin 0.25%: Provide antioxidant-related activity in the formulation; the clinical contribution of each ingredient in this specific product is not established by the packaging.
-
Allantoin 0.4%: Helps condition and soothe the skin.
-
Tetrahydropiperine 0.05%: A piperine-derived formulation ingredient; its precise role and clinical contribution in this product are not specified on the carton.
The formulation combines these ingredients to address the appearance of excess pigmentation. The product should not be considered a guaranteed treatment for every cause of dark spots.
3. Medical & Safety Information
Safety Advice
-
Medical supervision: Use only under the guidance of a qualified dermatologist because the formulation contains hydroquinone 2%.
-
Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Safety has not been adequately established. Consult your doctor before use; avoid self-medication.
-
Sun exposure: Hydroquinone-treated skin requires careful sun protection. Use broad-spectrum sunscreen and protective clothing.
-
Sensitive skin: Do not apply to broken, inflamed, sunburned or severely irritated skin.
-
Eyes and mouth: Avoid contact with the eyes, eyelids, nostrils, lips and mucous membranes. If accidental contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
-
Kidney or liver conditions: Systemic exposure from correct topical use is generally limited, but consult your doctor if you have significant kidney or liver disease, particularly if prolonged or extensive application is being considered.
-
Alcohol: No specific alcohol interaction is established for normal topical use. This does not remove the need to follow medical advice.
-
Driving and machinery: No specific effect on driving is expected from topical application. Stop use and seek advice if an unexpected reaction affects your well-being.
-
Children: Keep out of reach of children. Use in children only if specifically advised by a qualified clinician.
-
Long-term use: Do not use continuously or over large skin areas unless specifically directed by a dermatologist. Prolonged or inappropriate use may cause persistent skin discoloration.
-
Storage: Store below 30°C in a dry, dark place. Keep away from sunlight and replace the cap tightly after every use.
Quick Tips
-
Apply only to the affected areas and use the amount prescribed.
-
Use sunscreen every morning, even when pigmentation appears to be improving.
-
Avoid combining this cream with strong exfoliating acids, retinoids or other depigmenting products unless your dermatologist approves.
-
Introduce no additional irritating skincare products during treatment without professional advice.
-
Take progress photographs under consistent lighting to help assess changes.

Important for your Shopify listing: Because hydroquinone is an active depigmenting ingredient, avoid presenting this as an unrestricted everyday fairness cream. Confirm the applicable Indian drug classification, prescription requirements and sale conditions before publishing or dispensing.
Interaction with Drugs
There are no major systemic drug interactions expected from appropriate topical use, but certain topical combinations may increase irritation or other adverse effects.
-
Topical retinoids such as tretinoin or adapalene: May increase dryness, peeling and irritation when combined.
-
Benzoyl peroxide: May increase irritation; combinations should be used only when advised by a dermatologist.
-
Other depigmenting products: Combining hydroquinone with other pigment treatments may increase irritation and the risk of skin complications.
-
Exfoliating acids such as glycolic or salicylic acid: Concurrent use may cause excessive irritation, particularly in sensitive skin.
-
Resorcinol or other phenolic skin products: Avoid unsupervised combinations because of the potential for irritation and pigmentary complications.
Tell your dermatologist about all prescription creams, over-the-counter products and cosmetic actives you use. Do not combine treatments without advice.

Stock Availability
Same-day dispatch is subject to the availability of the ordered product at the applicable warehouse.
If a product is not available in stock and requires procurement, replenishment, or transfer from another location, dispatch may take additional time.
2. Sundays, National & Regional Holidays
iMEDICART does not provide regular order delivery services on Sundays.
Delivery and dispatch may also be affected or suspended on:
-
National holidays;
-
State and regional holidays;
-
Local holidays;
-
Festival holidays;
-
Holidays observed by the applicable courier, postal service, warehouse, or logistics partner; and
-
Other officially declared or operational non-working days.
If an estimated delivery or dispatch date falls on a Sunday, national holiday, regional/state holiday, festival holiday, or other applicable non-service day, the shipment may be processed or delivered on the next available working/service day.
The availability of delivery services may vary depending on the customer's location and the operating schedule of the applicable courier or postal service.
3. Domestic Delivery Time
The domestic delivery period is calculated from the date of dispatch, not from the date on which the order is placed.
Domestic orders are generally expected to be delivered within 2 to 10 working/service days from the date of dispatch, excluding Sundays and applicable non-service days.
The actual delivery time may vary depending upon:
-
Distance between the iMEDICART warehouse and the customer's delivery address;
-
Destination location and serviceability;
-
Courier or postal network conditions;
-
Sundays, national holidays, state/regional holidays, festival holidays, and local holidays;
-
Warehouse and logistics partner working schedules;
-
Weather conditions or unforeseen events;
-

-

-
Any delay caused by circumstances beyond iMEDICART's reasonable control.
Accordingly, the actual delivery time may vary from location to location.
Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address and remaining available to receive the shipment or coordinating with the applicable courier/postal service when required.
4. International Order Processing & Dispatch
International orders may require additional documentation and verification before dispatch due to applicable shipping, customs, postal, regulatory, or destination-country requirements.
International orders will generally be dispatched within a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 10 days after order confirmation, subject to completion of required processing and documentation.
Where applicable, iMEDICART may request documents such as:
-
Passport or other acceptable identity document;
-
Government-issued ID proof;
-
Customer identification or verification information; and
-
Any other documentation reasonably required for international shipment processing or customs purposes.
The dispatch timeline may be affected if the required information or documentation is not provided promptly.
5. Failure to Provide Requested Documents
If a customer does not provide requested identification or other documentation within a reasonable period, iMEDICART may, where legally and operationally permissible, proceed with dispatch without such documentation.
However, the customer acknowledges that the absence of requested documentation may result in the shipment being delayed, held, returned, or subject to additional verification by the courier, postal authority, customs authority, or other competent authority.
In such circumstances, iMediCart shall not be responsible for delays or consequences arising from the customer's failure to provide requested documentation, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
6. International Delivery Time & Customs Clearance
International delivery timelines are dependent upon the customs clearance process and the postal/courier network in the destination country.
If the shipment clears all applicable customs procedures without delay, international delivery is generally expected to take approximately 10 to 30 days from the date of dispatch.
However, customs clearance is controlled by the relevant customs authorities and is outside iMediCart's direct control.
If a shipment is held, inspected, delayed, or otherwise affected by customs or other authorities, delivery may take substantially longer. In exceptional cases, an international shipment may take up to 90 days or longer, depending upon the circumstances and applicable procedures.
Therefore, the stated international delivery timeline is an estimated timeframe and not an absolute guarantee.
International shipments may also be affected by national holidays, regional holidays, festival holidays, local holidays, and non-working days in India or the destination country, as well as holidays observed by the applicable courier, postal service, customs authority, or logistics partner.
7. International Customs Delays, Holds & Returns
Once an international shipment has been dispatched and handed over to the applicable courier, postal service, or shipping carrier, customs clearance is the responsibility of the relevant customs authorities in the destination country.
iMEDICART will make reasonable efforts to assist customers with available shipment and tracking information. However, iMediCart cannot control:
-
Customs inspection or examination;
-
Customs clearance timelines;
-
Import restrictions;
-
Documentation requirements imposed by destination-country authorities;
-
Import duties or taxes;
-
Delays caused by customs authorities;
-
Local postal or courier delays;
-
National, regional, state, festival, or local holidays; or
-
Other actions or requirements imposed by governmental or regulatory authorities.
Where a shipment is held by customs, the customer may be required to provide additional information, documentation, payment of applicable duties/taxes, or other requirements imposed by the destination-country authorities.
8. Customs Duties, Taxes & Import Charges
iMEDICART.com charges the customer for the applicable product cost, Indian customs clearance (where applicable), and international shipping charges as specified at the time of purchase.
Any customs duties, import taxes, VAT/GST, handling charges, clearance charges, or other charges imposed by the destination country are the responsibility of the customer unless expressly stated otherwise at the time of purchase.
Such charges are not included in the payment made to iMEDICART unless specifically mentioned in the order.
The customer is responsible for complying with the import requirements applicable in their country.
9. Customer Responsibility for International Shipments

-
The ordered product is permitted for import into their destination country;
-
The customer can provide any documentation required for shipment or customs clearance;
-
The customer can pay any applicable customs duties, taxes, or other import charges;
-
The delivery address and contact details are accurate and complete; and

iMEDICART shall not be responsible for delays, non-delivery, seizure, return, or additional charges arising from an import restriction, customs requirement, incomplete information, or action/inaction of the customer or destination-country authorities, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
10. Tracking & Shipment Updates
Once an order is dispatched, tracking information may be provided to the customer through the applicable courier or postal service.
Tracking updates may not appear immediately after dispatch and may take some time to be reflected in the carrier's system.
For international shipments, tracking information may also be limited or temporarily unavailable while the shipment is undergoing customs processing or being transferred between postal/courier networks.
11. Returned International Shipments
If an international shipment is returned to iMEDICART by the origin-country or destination-country postal/customs authorities, iMEDICART will review the reason for return and the circumstances of the shipment.
Where re-dispatch is reasonably possible and permitted, iMEDICART may re-dispatch the order subject to applicable shipping and regulatory requirements.
Where re-dispatch is not possible, iMediCart may issue a refund, subject to the applicable refund policy and any costs or deductions that are legally permissible.
