Description
What is Kojic Acid?
Kojic Acid is a skin-lightening agent derived from natural sources like fungi. It is used to treat:
- Hyper-pigmentation and dark spots
- Melasma
- Sun damage
• Acne scars
It works by inhibiting tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin (pigment) production, helping to brighten the skin and improve overall tone.
How do I take Kojic Acid?
Clean and dry the skin before applying. Apply a thin layer of cream, serum, or gel to the affected areas not the entire face unless advised. Use once daily at night or twice daily if tolerated. Always apply sunscreen during the day, as Kojic Acid increases sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid broken or irritated skin.
What dosage do I take?
Topical use only dosage refers to frequency and concentration:
- Common strength: 1–2% Kojic Acid
- Apply once or twice daily as tolerated
- Use for several weeks to see visible improvement
- Do not use continuously for long periods without medical advice
What are the potential side effect?
Kojic Acid is generally safe but may cause some skin reactions.
Common side effects include:
- Redness or irritation
- Itching or dryness
- Peeling (especially with overuse)
