Kojic acid is one of the most effective — and gentle — ingredients for fading dark spots and hyperpigmentation. But how does it actually work?
What it does
Kojic acid inhibits the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots. Over time, this helps existing spots fade and prevents new ones from forming.
Why we love it
Unlike harsher brightening agents, kojic acid is well tolerated by most skin types and pairs beautifully with Vitamin C and hyaluronic acid for a complete brightening ritual.
