gentle cleanser vs active cleaners? which ones better?

ive tried herbal cleanser as active cleaners are too scary for my mom to see on my bathroom shelf, but i am done- pls help me out. 😭
i swear i would’ve gone to the dermatologist but i can’t afford to burn a hole in my pocket

hyperpigmentation around my mouth n chin is making me crazy

okay so i've had this for almost two years now. darker patches specifically around the corners of my mouth and along my jawline. not acne scars exactly, more like uneven tone that just sits there and doesn't budge.

tried vitamin c serums - two different ones. did nothing noticeable in 3 months. tried niacinamide which helped a tiny bit with overall glow but not pigmentation

i have sensitive skin so i can't just go in with strong actives. every time i've tried something with a higher percentage of anything my skin gets redness, small breakouts in areas i don't normally break out.

someone mentioned kojic acid to me recently. i'd heard of it but always associated it with harsh soap bars my mom used to buy. apparently the newer formulations are different? more balanced ph and combined with other stuff so it's not as stripping.

has anyone with sensitive skin specifically tried kojic acid products? like not the soaps but actual skincare.

what was your experience and how long before you saw something?

also does anyone know if kojic acid interacts badly with anything. i use a basic moisturiser and sunscreen, nothing else active right now

more products like innisfree ceramide milk?

i’ve been using this for the past few months and really loved it. i’m a noob and have used a few toners before but replaced them with this cos i loved how hydrating this is- acts like a perfect base for more products and even make up

i need to know more products like this
