Kojic A inhibits and prevents the formation of tyrosine, It is an amino acid that is needed to produce melanin thereby acting as a skin-lightening/brightening agent that lightens visible sun damage, age spots, or scars. This can result in an anti-aging effect on the skin.
Kojic A also has antifungal properties
Studies have shown that kojic acid works well with and enhances the effects of glycolic acid.
