Kojic acid helps fade dark spots, while azelaic acid, a well-tolerated skincare ingredient, targets inflammation and irritation, promotes skin cell turnover, and even helps minimize bacteria growth. Even with somewhat limited research conducted on kojic acid, this skincare ingredient has already yielded impressive results in terms of skin brightening, lightening, and reducing hyperpigmentation," says board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michelle Henry, M.D., founder of Skin & Aesthetics Surgery of Manhattan. In addition to reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and treating melasma, Henry says studies indicate that kojic acid is radioprotective and boasts anti-inflammatory properties. The science behind how kojic acid works as a lightening agent involves its effect on melanin production.A review of kojic acid found that some studies in mice suggested there was a link to tumor growth when the acid was used in high concentrations.

Murphy Rose is a fan of Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense because it fights hyperpigmentation with an effective combination of 1% kojic acid, 3% tranexamic acid, and 5% niacinamide.

Research indicates that kojic acid and its derivatives have antioxidant, anti-proliferative, anti-inflammatory, UV-protector and skin-lightening effects on the skin.

You can find this popular ingredient in a range of products, from serums and lotions to soaps and face masks. It’s also available in several concentrations, from 1 percent to 4 percent or less. Honestly, testing a slew of skincare products can wreak havoc on my complexion, but whenever I incorporate PCA's kojic acid face serum into my routine, I notice my dark spots start to fade. It's the perfect reset button for playing dermatologist at home," says Saunders.
