Kojic acid is a brightening ingredient produced through fermentation, used in serums and creams to help even the look of uneven skin tone and soften the appearance of dark marks. Our kojic acid edit brings together formulas that pair it with complementary actives, suited to anyone working towards a more uniform-looking complexion.
New to the ingredient? The Academy kojic acid glossary entry explains how it behaves in a formula and how to introduce it alongside the rest of your routine, and our guide to products for hyperpigmentation sets it against the other tone-evening actives so you can judge which one fits your skin.

Frequently asked questions
Which product should I start with for dark marks?
Which product should I start with for dark marks?
Start with AlumierMD Intellibright Complex Serum each morning to brighten the look of uneven tone and post-blemish marks. Introduce iS Clinical Active Serum at night to smooth texture and refine the look of dark spots. Together they tackle discolouration from two angles, day and night.
How do I use both serums without irritation?
How do I use both serums without irritation?
Use Intellibright in the morning under SPF, and apply iS Clinical Active Serum to clean, dry skin at night, starting three nights a week. Active Serum tingles briefly on application and that settles within a minute. Build to nightly once your skin adjusts, and never skip daytime sunscreen, which protects your brightening progress.
What does kojic acid do for pigmentation?
What does kojic acid do for pigmentation?
Kojic acid interrupts the pathway that creates excess pigment, visibly fading the look of dark marks and evening out tone. It works best alongside the brightening blend in AlumierMD Intellibright and the resurfacing action of iS Clinical Active Serum. Consistent daily use across 8 to 12 weeks gives the clearest, most even-looking result.
Can I use these while pregnant?
Can I use these while pregnant?
iS Clinical Active Serum contains active exfoliating and brightening ingredients we set aside during pregnancy and breastfeeding, so pause it and check with your midwife or GP. Intellibright is gentler, but confirm before continuing. A dedicated vitamin C serum with SPF is a pregnancy-friendly way to keep tone looking bright in the meantime. For advice specific to your pregnancy, please contact us at hello@skintique.co.uk.
