## Description

Size:50 Gram




























Natural Mild Inhibitor of the pigment formation,&#xA0;induces skin lightening and helps establishing an even skin tone on all skin types. It can also minimizes liver spots.&#xA0;Kojic acid was originally found during the fermentation process of malting rice for use in the manufacture of sake. Question 1: which concentration of Kojic Acid should I use ? For skin lightening, the recommended safe and effective concentration range is 1-4%. It may go higher in some products, especially the wash-off products, but it could cause irritation and other side effects. Normally, kojic acid is used everyday and takes 1-2 month to see the effect. &#xA0;Question 2: How to mix kojic acid to my skincare product? To mix kojic acid, it need to be dissolved in water first. Be sure to use warm (25-40&#xB0;C/77-104&#xB0;F) water since it may lose some of its activity if put into hot water (>40&#xB0;C/104&#xB0;F). Kojic acid has tendency to oxidize over time, use vitamin E tocopherol or BHT (Butylated hydroxytoluene) in the cream to reduce oxidation.&#xA0;It&apos;s often be combined with other skin lighteners, such as vitamin C to get better result.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Seems legit 👍🏼:)
  

*by F***A on Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2020*

I made a test batch body scrub with this powder for hyperpigmentation, and I’m already seeing results. That was after only 2 uses at 10% , coupled with an after-shower body oil that utilizes only .5g of the powder.Will update after continual use.

I add this to my Aztec face powder clay mask. I have been using it regularly in my masks. Notice my complection evening out.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Great in a Mask!
  

*by J***E on Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2020*

My last esthetician recommended kojic acid for dark spots and discoloration.  Instead of getting products with a whole bunch of other ingredients, I went right to the source.  I love mixing this in with my clay mask!  All it takes is a little, and I have seen some slight fading on my dark spots.  Have only used a few times but looking forward to seeing more changes over time!
