Kojic Acid
Kojic Acid is a naturally derived compound produced during the fermentation of specific fungi, often those involved in sake brewing. It’s widely valued in skincare for its brightening properties, helping to fade dark spots, pigmentation, and uneven skin tone.
How is it used?
In dermatology, kojic acid is frequently found in serums, creams, and masks to treat concerns like melasma, sunspots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. It works by inhibiting melanin production, making it effective for evening out skin tone. Regular use can lead to visibly brighter skin and a noticeable reduction in dark spots. While generally well-tolerated, it’s often combined with calming ingredients to reduce the chance of irritation, especially with prolonged use.
