Kojic Acid is a heterocyclic compound.
Ingredient functions - Kojic Acid functions primarily as a skin-lightening agent and is known for its ability to inhibit the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. It works by suppressing the activity of tyrosinase, an enzyme involved in melanin synthesis. As a result, it helps to fade dark spots, hyperpigmentation, and even out skin tone.
Concerns - lthough generally considered safe for topical use, some individuals may experience skin irritation or allergic reactions when using products containing Kojic Acid. It is recommended to perform a patch test before using such products extensively. Additionally, prolonged or excessive use of Kojic Acid may cause skin dryness or sensitivity to sunlight. It is advisable to use sunscreen when using products with Kojic Acid and to follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
