How It Works
Kojic Diplamiate is a more stable form of Kojic Acid which is gotten from mushrooms. Kojic Acid is a naturally derived skin care active. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase and therefore pigment (melanin) production. It does this by blocking UV-activation of the enzyme - tyrosinase. Kojic Diplamitate is an excellent alternative for those who would rather avoid hydroquinone. With Kojic Acid, you won’t get the overly-whitened look most people who bleach or use hydroquinone have.
Benefits
1. Fades dark spots, sun spots, photodamage and brightens the skin by inhibiting (tyrosinase) melanin production
2. Has antioxidant capacity - it prevents free radical damage normally caused by pollution, UV exposure/damage
3. Acts as an anti-inflammatory agent - thereby preventing redness and irritation.
Side Effects
Kojic Acid/Diplamiate is better tolerated than most acids but depending on the other actives used, irritation is possible. Irritation might also occur at very high concentrations.

This product works by naturally reducing the overproduction of melanin while hydrating the skin and creating a protective layer on the skin to help trap moisture and prevent trans-epidermal water loss without clogging pores.
Designed for all skin types and tones to help even out areas that have been darkened by acne scars, sun damage, hyperpigmentation and all other discolouration caused by overproduction of melanin. Please give up to 4 weeks of continuous use (day & night) for results to show.
