Kojic Acid to Lighten Skin

Many people question what was the reason that the experts chose Kojic acid as an ingredient? The simple answer of this question is because Kojic acidpapaya also helps you lighten the skin. The reason is that the Kojic acid nourishes the skin and makes it look better.
The chemical peel is not difficult to use at all; all you have to do is just apply it on the desired surface once every two weeks. After two weeks, you will eventually start feeling the results. You will notice that your skin has started getting lighter and there are fewer dark pigments on your skin. Some others may have to wait a little longer. You can use it on elbows, arms, knees and face. The use of a moisturizer is must if you are thinking to apply it in face. Give two minutes to absorb to start its magic. Once the serum has been absorbed into the face, you can resume makeup application. If used too much in the face, the serum can cause dryness, so be sure to use sparingly.
As Kojic acid also has antibacterial and antifungal properties, it is often used in the skin care products to lighten melasma, pregnancy marks and decrease hyperpigmentation. It controls the pigmentation problem by erasing the root of the problem i.e. melanin production. Kojic acid does nothing but countering the activity of tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is actually an enzyme that produces melanin.
