Sun exposure has a number of effects on your skin — not all of them positive. While the current beauty landscape is all about bronzed, sun-kissed skin, too much time spent soaking up the rays can result in premature fine lines, skin cancer and hyperpigmentation. Also known as dark spots, age spots, or liver spots, hyperpigmentation is caused by an overproduction of melanin, and manifests as patches that are deeper in colour than your natural skin tone. When using kojic acid in the form of creams and serums, allow the product to dry out completely before layering the next step in your skincare routine. It is possible to experience irritation from kojic acid, although it’s generally well-tolerated. If you experience itching, burning or irritation after using a product containing the acid, discontinue use immediately. Treat melasma: Kojic acid may also be helpful in decreasing melasma, which is darkening of the skin due to pregnancy. Raw kojic acid is available, but it is not recommended for skin use. Kojic acid should be diluted to concentrations of no more than 4 percent. A concentration of 1 to 2 percent is recommended to reduce the chance of skin irritation.

Answer:It is advised to use sunscreen after applying Kojic skin cream before going out in the skin as exposure to the sun may increase the severity of acne induced hyperpigmentation. However, if you have any concerns regarding this, please discuss them with your doctor. Kojic acid is most commonly used in cosmetic products, such as creams, lotions, and serums. It is also used in some soaps. Many products with kojic acid are intended for use on the hands or face. Bar soaps are one of the most popular products for balancing skin tone, especially on the body. Two popular products include the PCA SKIN Pigment Bar and the Marie France Kojic Acid (Maximum Strength). There can be some blisters, rashes etc when the kojic acid products are used since they can be skin irritating for the sensitive skin. Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment in the body that gives the eyes, hair, and skin their color. An amino acid called tyrosine is needed to support the production of melanin.

Key Benefits

According to the reviewers, the available data suggest that the use of products containing kojic acid with a concentration of 2 percent for products left on the skin is considered safe. ok I swear this is the last kojic acid product on the list lol. this one is a lot more stronger than the other two and I've only used it after building a good tolerance to kojic acid as a whole. has 5% kojic acid, 10% vitamin c , glabridin (knew nothing about this until I got this product), arbutin and octinoxate, which makes it suitable for morning use. despite the name, yall, this was mind-blowing 🤯. results right after 3-4 uses. this was the hidden gem all along 🥲 glabridin was something that intrigued me the most, since its a UV filter and its anti-inflammatory so that a bonus! it didn't aggravate my active acne although I would suggest this only after you have some prior experience with kojic acid. directly using 5% might cause irritation. deffo a staple for my PIH !
