What does kojic do to my skin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Skin lightening: Kojic acid is a natural compound found in some fungi that is often used in cosmetics to lighten and brighten the skin. It can also cause an allergic reaction in sensitive people so testing a small area prior to use is best. It can also cause increase sensitivity to sun light, so a sunscreen should be used regularly.
