| Kojic acid is a more recent remedy for the treatment of pigment problems and age spots. Discovered in 1989, kojic acid has a similar effect as hydroquinone, and is often times used instead of hydroquinone as a lightening agent in individuals who are allergic to hydroquinone. Kojic acid is derived from fungus, and studies have shown that it is effective as a lightening agent, inhibiting production of melanin. |
