Hi. Kojic acid is one of the safest agent used for hyperpigmentation. It is a slow acting agent and effect is only modest. However, it can be used for a long time and is suitable for maintenance. The side effects are minimal. It can cause irritation in sensitive skin. Hence, testing it over a small area behind ears is recommended.
