How Kojic Acid Clears Hyperpigmentation

You probably already know about and might be using some form of acid in your skincare routine such as glycolic or salicylic acid, but there is another acid that deserves some time in the skincare spotlight—particularly if your goal is a brighter, more even complexion. Enter Kojic Acid, a naturally-derived ingredient which comes from mushrooms and is excellent at fading hyperpigmentation and discoloration also known as dark or sun spots.

What exactly is Kojic Acid?

You might have heard of Kojic Acid before and wondered what makes this ingredient special. Put simply, Kojic Acid is the term for the byproduct of yeast fermentation. It’s a prominent ingredient that lightens the skin because it prevents melanin production. Kojic Acid is also obtained from mushrooms, for example, Shiitake Mushroom. Shiitake mushrooms are an abundant source of Kojic Acid, they produce an antioxidant that eradicates free radicals when it attaches to your skin cells, helping to brighten skin pigmentation and fade sunspots and acne scars.

Is Kojic acid safe?

The “Acid” in its name might be concerning, however, a lot of studies have shown that Kojic Acid is safe to use. But using too much of this ingredient may cause irritation. Many skincare products contain Kojic Acid alongside other brightening ingredients and exfoliants. Be sure to use these products in moderation in your skincare routine to avoid skin irritation.

How to Use Kojic Acid

If your skin is very sensitive, make sure to patch test the Kojic Acid-based products first to ensure that your skin can tolerate the ingredient. Also, be mindful of the fact that Kojic Acid leaves the skin vulnerable to sun damage, so wear sunscreen or any clothing that could protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun.
