Pharmacological Action of kojic acid.

1. Inhibit melanin production

Tyrosinase inhibition: By blocking tyrosinase activity, it interferes with the key steps of melanin synthesis (tyrosine → dopa → melanin), significantly reducing the formation of spots, freckles and chloasma.

DOPA tautomerase inhibition: Its derivatives can enhance the inhibitory effect on enzymes related to melanin production and improve the whitening effect.

2. Antioxidation and free radical scavenging

Neutralize free radicals: By removing reactive oxygen species (ROS), protect skin cells from oxidative damage, delay photoaging and wrinkle formation.

Promote collagen synthesis: Assist in enhancing skin elasticity and improving skin quality.

3. Antibacterial and anti-inflammatory

Broad-spectrum antibacterial: Inhibit pathogenic bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes and Staphylococcus aureus, assist in the treatment of acne and prevent skin infections.

Relieve inflammatory response: By regulating the expression of inflammatory factors, relieve skin redness and post-inflammatory pigmentation.
