Kojic Acid

Use Kojic Acid (topical skin-brightening agent) as prescribed to help treat melasma and hyperpigmentation by inhibiting excess melanin production and improving overall skin tone.
Kojic Acid is a natural compound derived from fungi that inhibits tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin production. This action helps fade dark spots, melasma, and sun damage.
Kojic Acid is ideal for individuals looking to lighten dark spots or brighten overall skin tone. It is often used in combination with other skin-lightening agents for best results.
Results can be seen within 4–6 weeks, with continued use providing further improvement.
Kojic Acid may be prescribed for adults with melasma or dark patches of skin, often as part of a combination treatment regimen. It should be used under clinician guidance, especially in individuals with sensitive skin, to minimize irritation. See pricing details here.
