Are you wondering what makes this ingredient unique? Well, from acne scars to dark spots, melasma to sun damage, kojic acid can treat a plethora of your skin issues.

This is why most Korean celebrities add this item into their skincare routine. Kojic is very safe to use regularly.

Aspergillus oryzae is a fungi from which kojic acid is developed. It is formed when there is the fermentation of Japanese food products like soy sauce and rice wine. This content is used in serums as well as in depigmentation creams. However, you can also find kojic acid in various forms, including powders, cleansers, and soap bars.

A lot of experiments and studies were conducted by experts to find out a safe concentration amount for Kojic acid. And according to this scientific research kojic acid is safe to use within 1-4% concentration in cosmetics.

2. When you apply kojic acid creams or serums, make sure that you give some time for your skin to absorb it completely.
