Reviva’s Kojic Acid Brightening Creme is formulated with a unique blend of natural oils that aids in absorption. This cream contains the powerful brightening ingredient known as Kojic Acid, which effectively reduces the appearance of dark spots and skin discoloration.

Kojic acid is a naturally occurring organic compound derived from various fungi and is widely used in skincare products and cosmetics. It is known for its skin-brightening properties, primarily by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This makes kojic acid a popular choice for reducing the appearance of dark spots, melasma, and hyperpigmentation. Additionally, it has antioxidant properties that can help combat signs of aging and protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals. Kojic acid is a safe and effective ingredient when used in appropriate concentrations, but it’s important to use it as directed to avoid potential skin irritations.

FAQs

What is Kojic Acid?

Kojic acid is a chemical compound derived from various types of fungi. It’s also a byproduct in the fermentation process of certain foods, including Japanese sake, soy sauce, and rice wine. Here are some key points about kojic acid:

Skin Lightening Properties: Kojic acid is primarily known for its skin lightening abilities. It works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for skin color. This property makes it popular in cosmetic and skincare products aimed at reducing hyperpigmentation, sun damage, scars, and age spots.
Antioxidant: Kojic acid also has antioxidant properties. It can help fight free radicals, which are unstable molecules that can cause cell damage and contribute to aging and various diseases.
Antifungal and Antibacterial: It exhibits antifungal and antibacterial properties, making it useful in treating and preventing certain skin infections.
Use in Cosmetics: Kojic acid is found in a variety of cosmetic and skincare products, like creams, serums, and soaps. It is often used in combination with other ingredients like glycolic acid and hydroquinone for enhanced skin lightening effects.
Safety and Side Effects: While kojic acid is generally considered safe for topical use, it can cause side effects in some people, such as skin irritation, redness, and contact dermatitis, especially in those with sensitive skin. It’s advised to use products containing kojic acid in moderation and under the guidance of a skincare professional.
Regulation: The concentration of kojic acid in cosmetic products is regulated in many countries to ensure safety. Users are advised to check the regulations in their country before using products containing high concentrations of kojic acid.

It’s always important to use kojic acid products according to the instructions and to consider consulting a dermatologist, especially if you have sensitive skin or are dealing with specific skin issues.

How long before I see results?

Most people see results between 21-28 days. That’s about the time it takes for your skin to go through a renewal cycle and for you to see a difference. But results may vary and it depends on your starting point, that is, how uneven your skin’s tone.

Do I use this day or night?

It can be used day or night or both. Though we recommend using most brightening products at night to avoid sun exposure. If applied in the AM, use sunscreen during the day for protection.

Due to natural origins of some ingredients used in our products the color, feel, and scent may vary. Also, because we're always improving our formulas, the product packaging you receive may contain additional details or may differ from what is shown on our website.
