About Cosmedic: With Cosmedic, Have the Skin You Want. Created by a team of doctors from the US and India, Cosmedic is the first brand that is formulated, tested and approved by dermatologists.
Dr. Kiran Lohia is a Columbia University graduate and a United States trained M.D. specializing in Dermatology. She is also American Board Certified with a further degree in Aesthetic Medicine. She is an active member of the American Medical Association, American College of Physicians, European Society of Cosmetic and Aesthetic Dermatology, International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology and more. Having additionally completed a Diploma course in Cosmetic Science through the U.K. Society of Cosmetic Scientists, Dr. Kiran Lohia has the distinction of being the one of the first physicians with both advanced Dermatology and Cosmetic Chemistry knowledge.
Dr. Kiran Lohia moved from the USA to India after marriage and has treated thousands of patients from all over India. Through her in-depth understanding of the problems plaguing both Indian and Western patients, Dr. Kiran Lohia was able to bring a unique perspective and understanding of Indian skin. She understood that Indian skin had specific needs that were not being met by the current skin care therapies available.
Dr. Kiran Lohia then collaborated with doctors, chemists and scientists around the world, and sponsored research in specialized Dermatology Research Centres in France, Italy, Spain and the USA. Breakthrough advanced technologies were created to specifically solve the prevalent skin problems.
Finally Cosmedic was born.

Most of you must have heard about Cosmedic by now with the reviews on blogosphere..it is a brand formulated, tested and approved by dermatologists. Most of their products contain Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) which helps with pigmentation and dullness..
Cosmedic Lumifast Brightening Minute Mask is the one with highest AHA i.e 10%
It comes in a small jar with a narrow opening and a cap in between..its a thick off white paste and has a slight acidic smell.
A very thin layer of it needs to be applied..and it goes transparent on the skin within a minute..I keep it for 5-10 minutes…sometimes 10, sometimes 5..it stings at few places and even after washing off, it feels itchy for a few minutes..
I do see some brightening with it..but not much difference on the acne scars..I have recently got 2-3 pimples which have left scars..and I am trying everything for them to fade..I have used this 3-4 times by now..like once-twice in a week..but not too much difference on the scars.
Pros:
1. Brand formulated, tested and approved by dermatologists..so quite reliable.
2. Caters to all skin types and skin problems.
3. Free of hydroquinone, steroids, and other irritating demelanizing agents. Hypoallergenic, Non-Comedogenic and Oil-Free
4. Brightens the skin and does help in combating dullness.
5. Perfect when used before some special events, parties, etc
6. Quick and easy to use..just 5-10 minutes.
7. Cruelty free and vegan.
Cons:
1. Not much difference on pigmentation..i.e my acne scars…would update if I notice some changes.
2. Narrow jar opening makes it a little difficult to remove the product.
3. Expensive..this 50g jar can be used 6-7 times max I guess..
4. Glow stays for a day or two.
5. Availability is an issue.
Can be bought HERE. Overall I found this good for some special occasions..like a quick facial or something to give that glow just before the event..but I did not notice any major change or any much of a difference in pigmentation..its a decent pack..I would recommend it for some occasion.
