What kojic acid does

Kojic acid is a topical pigment-targeting ingredient used in some brightening products. It works by reducing melanin production in the skin, so it is aimed at the appearance of dark marks rather than texture or active inflammation. Results depend on the cause of pigmentation and how consistently the skin is protected from light.

Use it with care

Patch-test as directed, apply a small amount to intact skin and begin infrequently. Pair it with moisturiser and broad-spectrum sunscreen. Do not layer it at first with several exfoliating or retinoid products, because irritation can make pigmentation more visible. A clinician can place kojic acid within a wider [Skin Brightening Treatment](/treatments/aesthetic-procedures/skin-brightening-treatment/) plan.

When to stop and seek help

Stop the product and seek medical advice for swelling, blistering, severe burning, hives or redness that does not settle. Have an unexplained, changing or bleeding dark spot examined rather than treating it at home. A [Kojic Acid](/materials/kojic-acid/) overview can help you discuss the ingredient with your clinician.

Questions for your doctor

Is kojic acid suitable for my skin and the type of pigmentation I have? Which products should not be combined with it? How will I protect the area while using it?

Questions people ask

Will kojic acid treat every dark mark?
