# Kojic acid

Page: https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/kojic-acid

The Lovi Fit is the same in every country; only the stores and prices differ, and the ones here are for Canada.

Kojic acid gently fades stubborn dark spots, evens out overall skin tone, and helps reduce unwanted pigmentation for a clearer complexion. It suits dry skin and oily skin alike, and typically comes in lightweight [serums](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum) that absorb smoothly. Because it layers easily, this ingredient fits right into any daily skincare routine.

This page shows kojic acid products with a Lovi page. For every product, and a routine built for your skin, use the Lovi app.

## Questions and answers

### What does kojic acid do for the skin?

Kojic acid helps reduce hyperpigmentation and melasma, leading to a decrease in skin melanin levels. It is often combined with partner ingredients like [hydroquinone](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/hydroquinone) or [alpha-arbutin](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/arbutin) to improve clinical efficacy in treating dark spots.

### How do you use kojic acid?

Kojic acid may be used topically in creams or gels, and it is sometimes combined with ingredients like hydroquinone, [tranexamic acid](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/tranexamic-acid), or [niacinamide](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/niacinamide) to help treat hyperpigmentation and melasma.

### Should you use kojic acid in the morning or at night?

There are no specific page facts regarding whether to use kojic acid in the morning or at night.

### Can you use kojic acid every day?

Yes, you can use kojic acid daily as it helps reduce hyperpigmentation and melasma. Combining kojic acid with ingredients like tranexamic acid, niacinamide, or alpha-arbutin may further improve results.

### Does kojic acid cause purging or irritation?

Kojic acid is generally well tolerated, though some combinations like hydroquinone or triple combination creams may present higher risks of adverse events such as erythema and stinging, while other pairings like alpha-arbutin and kojic acid creams are associated with fewer side effects.

### Which skin types is kojic acid best for?

Kojic acid works well across many skin types, with Lovi giving top ratings to products like Peter Thomas Roth Potent-C Niacinamide Discoloration Treatment for dry skin, NATURIUM Tranexamic Topical Acid 5% for sensitive skin, and Topicals Faded [Serum](https://lovi.care/skincare/ca/ingredients/serum) for acne-prone skin.
