Many of the new skin care products for hyperpigmentation are now made with kojic acid. Derived from a fungus, kojic acid is a common skin care ingredient used in hyperpigmentation remedies because it inhibits the production of melanin (gives skin pigment or color). However, beauty and skin care remedies made with essential oils like lemon or lime oil may be better for overall skin health while still helping to lighten the skin.
