What is Kojic Acid cream natural skin lightener?
Kojic Acid cream contains kojic acid dipalmitate 2%, axeloglicina (potassium azeloyl digylycinate-PAD) 5%, and lactose fluid 3%. There are naturally derived components that work together to dramatically decrease skin pigment and reduce skin irritation during application.
Kojic Acid Dipalmitate 2% is a chelation agent produced by several species of fungi, especially Aspergillus oryzae, which has the Japanese common name koji. Kojic acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice, for use in the manufacturing of sake, the Japanese rice wine. It is a mild inhibitor of the formation of pigment in plant and animal tissues and is used in food and cosmetics to preserve or change the colors of substances. It forms a bright red complex with ferric ions.
Kojic acid is a chemical produced by many species of fungi, including Penicillium, Acetobacter, and Aspergillus. The Aspergillus flavus variety ferments sake wine and miso and shoyu – soybean paste and sauce, which all contain kojic acid. Kojic acid works in dermatology applications by disrupting melanin skin-pigment biochemistry.
Kojic Acid cream also has powerful antibacterial and antioxidant properties, meaning beautiful, even, healthy skin. There are almost no side effects since it contains only natural ingredients, such as Japanese Mushrooms, Arbutin, or Licorice Root Extract. Kojic skin lightening cream has become the only viable natural option for treating any kind of skin pigmentation issue, underarm/bikini, and facial dark spots, or skin hyperpigmentation.
Kojic cream not only has the remarkable ability to whiten overall complexion, but it also has the capability to remove acne scars, pimples, freckles, skin imperfections, dark and age spots, brighten skin tone, and many many more positive additional features. Generally, it is used for skin care, acne treatment, and skin lightening, also as an anti-freckle solution, natural melasma treatment solution, and other discoloration disorders and blemishes eliminator. Kojic acid clears and controls acne, and also shows unmarkable results with rosacea and other redness and inflammatory skin conditions.

Kojic Acid cream mechanism of action
Kojic Acid cream is a solution combining 3 active ingredients to achieve the best available on the market skin lightening effect for your skin. Skin lightener agent – Kojic acid is commonly derived from various fungi. Kojic acid is often used as a skin-lightening agent because of its effects on a protein known as tyrosinase (the same action as the hydroquinone component).
Kojic acid works by preventing a specific function of tyrosinase called its catecholase function. The important thing to understand about the catecholase function is that it is the most important step in making the compound melanin. Melanin is the primary pigment in the skin. Thus, by inhibiting the tyrosinase protein’s ability to make melanin, kojic acid is able to prevent skin pigmentation, which can help lighten the skin’s tone.
How effective is Kojic Acid cream is
Kojic acid is an effective treatment for the lightening of the skin and has similar effectiveness as another commonly used skin-lightening agent, hydroquinone. However, okdermo does note a potential problem with using kojic acid. Kojic acid is relatively unstable, which means that it will react with oxygen and sunlight, causing it to change as a chemical compound. As a result, Kojic acid cream from Curatio is packaged as kojic acid dipalmitate, which is a modified form of kojic acid. Although this form is more stable and it is as effective as regular kojic acid.
Kojic acid cream reduces melanin production in the deeper layers of the skin. This means that the changes are real and not superficial. Kojic acid cream will bring results far outweighing the effectiveness and practicality of other similar products. Moreover, using Kojic Acid cream will not require a lifelong application to be effective.

Kojic Acid skin lightening cream features
Pigmentation reduction: Besides freckles and melasma there are many types of pigmentation problems that may be treated with kojic acid because it stops the production of pigment. Kojic acid attacks the root of the pigmentation source by inhibiting the production of melanin. More specifically, kojic acid counters the antioxidant properties of the enzyme tyrosinase, which reacts with an amino acid called tyrosine to produce melanin. By stopping the production of melanin, kojic acid can reverse the excessive darkening of the skin.
Freckles: All people have pigment-producing cells in their skin called melanocytes that produce melanin, which our skin uses to shield itself from the sun and other environmental hazards. While this pigment protects us from the sun, our melanocytes can become damaged if our skin receives too much sun exposure. The result of damaged melanocytes is often an abundance of melanin fed into the dermis. This process results in small brown spots called freckles. A component of kojic acid called kojic acid dipalmitate fights freckles topically by countering the melanin in the area to whiten the skin.
Melasma: it is a darkening of the skin, in larger sections than freckles, that is the result of over-productive melanocytes. Melasma darkens the skin of the face, usually affecting the apples of the cheeks, the forehead, the jawline, and areas around the mouth. Melasma may occur due to overexposure to the sun or cellular hypersensitivity. For women, melasma may also be triggered by estrogen supplements, birth control pills, and pregnancy. Kojic acid successfully bleaches the skin, as a result – in a reduction of melasma spots. If you have melasma, you should avoid the sun as much as possible and discuss with your dermatologist using a kojic acid cream.
How to use Kojic skin lightening cream
Kojic acid cream works to improve your complexion by fading dark, highly pigmented age spots. Kojic acid cream available over-the-counter, works slowly, over weeks or months, requiring daily applications. Kojic acid must penetrate your epidermis – the topmost layer of skin- where the extra pigment is made. Because kojic acid passes through healthy skin cells to work, it is often irritating.

Kojic Topical Cream FAQ:
Does kojic acid cream work?
Kojic acid is similar to a chemical called hydroquinone. They are both effective treatments for hyperpigmentation. Treatment with kojic acid isn’t immediate. For significant improvement, you’ll need to use a kojic acid for up to three months in some cases. When using kojic acid topically, you’ll likely start to see results within two weeks. You may see greater results or faster results if you also add glycolic acid to the treatment.
Does kojic acid bleach the skin?
Hydroquinone and kojic acid are often used in skin-bleaching creams. Kojic acid is not cytotoxic (that is not harmful to living cells) and therefore cannot permanently lighten your skin tone. Kojic acid’s properties allow it to be a bleaching agent when used in creams, gels, and other cosmetics. Kojic acid is similar to a chemical called hydroquinone. They are both effective treatments for hyperpigmentation.
