Collection: Kojic Acid

Derived from fungi during the fermentation of rice, Kojic Acid has long been revered in Japanese and Korean skincare for its powerful skin-brightening abilities. Today, it remains a top choice among dermatologists for targeting hyperpigmentation, sun damage and post-acne marks with visible results.

Kojic Acid works by inhibiting tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, helping to fade dark spots and prevent new ones from forming. Unlike many exfoliating acids, it doesn’t strip the skin, making it a gentler option for those looking to achieve a more even, luminous complexion.

Often used to treat melasma and age spots, Kojic Acid pairs well with ingredients like niacinamide and arbutin for enhanced brightening power. With regular use, it helps restore clarity and radiance to dull or uneven skin, earning its place as a trusted brightening agent in modern formulations.
