Kojic Acid

Kojic acid, a compound derived from a mushroom-like fungi during fermentation, is often blended into skin care products to help target melasma, age spots, sun spots, acne scars and other uneven coloring in the complexions of men and women of all ages and races. Though kojic acid functions primarily as a skin-lightening agent, it's also known to prevent future hyperpigmentation from occurring by limiting ongoing production of melanin. Dermstore offers a variety of kojic acid products from top brands like SkinCeuticals, Glytone and SkinMedica. These serums, gels, moisturizers and spot treatments blend kojic acid with antioxidants and vitamins A, C and E to fight free radical and sun damage, further enhancing the health and glow of your complexion.
