Kojic acid has become a star ingredient in skincare, widely appreciated for its skin-brightening and anti-aging properties. It offers a natural way to achieve a radiant, even complexion. Here’s why you should consider adding this powerhouse ingredient to your skincare routine!

1. Effective skin brightening

Kojic acid works by inhibiting the production of melanin, the pigment responsible for dark spots, uneven skin tone, and hyperpigmentation. Over time, it can help lighten sunspots, age spots, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (the marks left behind by acne). This makes it ideal for anyone dealing with discoloration, especially if you’re aiming for a brighter, more uniform skin tone.

2. Anti-ageing benefits

In addition to brightening, kojic acid has antioxidant properties that help reduce the visible signs of aging. Antioxidants neutralize free radicals, which are responsible for premature wrinkles and sagging skin. By incorporating kojic acid into your skincare, you’re giving your skin added protection against these aging factors.

3. Gentle exfoliation

Kojic acid is a mild exfoliant, helping to slough off dead skin cells and promote new cell turnover. This not only reveals brighter, fresher skin underneath but also makes your complexion smoother and more refined.

TRY: The Belo Formula Kojic Acid Face Wash (₱1,650). It provides a gentle yet effective cleansing experience, starting the brightening process from the very first step in your routine. It’s perfect for everyday use, leaving your skin feeling refreshed while gradually evening out your complexion!

4. Reduces acne scarring

Post-acne marks can be stubborn to fade, especially if your skin is prone to hyperpigmentation. Kojic acid’s melanin-inhibiting properties make it effective in reducing the appearance of acne scars and red marks left behind by blemishes.

TRY: The Belo Kojic Acid Cream (₱770)! You can apply specific areas where the marks are, helping to speed up the fading process of scars and marks, resulting in clearer, smoother skin over time.

5. Brightens without the harshness

Unlike some other brightening ingredients like hydroquinone, kojic acid is known for being gentler on the skin, making it a suitable option for individuals with sensitive skin. However, it’s important to use products with the right concentration to avoid irritation – which is why it’s vital to consult a Belo MD before using products!

Kojic acid is a highly effective ingredient for brightening skin, reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, and combating the signs of aging. Whether you’re dealing with acne scars, dark spots, or simply want a more radiant complexion, incorporating products like Belo Formula Kojic Acid Face Wash and Belo Prescriptives Kojic Acid Cream into your skincare routine can help you achieve glowing, youthful skin!
