kojic acid serum

The Brightening Powerhouse

Our Kojic Acid Serum is designed to deliver visible skin-brightening results. Kojic Acid, derived from various fungi and fermented products, works at a cellular level by inhibiting the tyrosinase enzyme, which is responsible for producing melanin (skin pigment).

This targeted action prevents the formation of new dark spots while actively fading existing ones. Lightweight and fast-absorbing, this serum integrates seamlessly into your routine, making it the essential step for managing melasma, sun damage, and post-acne marks.

💧 Using Method: Maximize Your Results

As a potent active ingredient, Kojic Acid should be introduced carefully and always protected with sunscreen.

When to Use:

• Can be used Once Daily (preferably in the Evening) or Twice Daily (AM and PM) once your skin is acclimated.
• Patch Test First: Apply a small amount to your inner arm for a few days before using it on your face to check for irritation.

Application Steps:

1. Cleanse: Start with a clean face.
2. Apply Serum: Dispense 2-4 drops of the serum into your palm. Gently pat or massage the serum over your entire face, focusing on pigmented areas.
3. Moisturize: Follow with your regular moisturizer to soothe the skin and lock in the actives.
4. ☀️ Crucial AM Step: In the morning, you MUST follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher). Skin treated with Kojic Acid is more susceptible to sun damage, and UV exposure can reverse your brightening results.

Pro-Tip on Pairing:

• Kojic Acid pairs excellently with other brightening agents like Alpha Arbutin and Niacinamide.
• Be cautious when pairing it with strong exfoliants (like high-concentration AHAs/BHAs) or Retinol, as this can increase the risk of irritation.
