Popular across the UK and Europe for mature skin hyperpigmentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is kojic acid and how does it work on dark spots?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKojic acid is a natural compound derived from fungi. It works by inhibiting tyrosinase — the enzyme that triggers melanin production in the skin. By blocking this enzyme, kojic acid prevents new dark spots from forming while gradually lightening existing hyperpigmentation. At 1%, it is effective for spot correction while maintaining skin tolerance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from a full-face brightening serum?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a concentrated spot treatment for precise application directly on dark spots — not for the entire face. The 1% kojic acid concentration is higher than what is typically used in full-face serums, making it more effective for stubborn spots. For full-face brightening, pair it with the \u003ca href=\"\/cs\/products\/dark-spot-face-cream-with-kojic-acid-50ml\"\u003eDark Spot Face Cream with Kojic Acid 50ml\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long until I see results?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost users notice a visible reduction in dark spot intensity within 3–4 weeks of consistent daily use. Stubborn sun spots and melasma may take 6–8 weeks. Pairing with a kojic acid moisturiser and weekly exfoliation accelerates visible progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs kojic acid safe for sensitive skin?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKojic acid can cause sensitivity in some skin types. We recommend a patch test before first use — apply a small amount to the inner arm and wait 24 hours. Avoid using with other strong actives (AHA, BHA, retinol) in the same routine to minimise irritation risk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs BelleVie vegan and cruelty-free?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes — all BelleVie products are 100% vegan and cruelty-free, COSMOS Natural certified by ECOCERT Greenlife, and formulated and manufactured in the EU to the highest cosmetic safety standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSA:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–5 business days from our US warehouse\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEurope:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2–9 business days\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e on orders over $100 USD \/ €85 EUR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eShop the full \u003ca href=\"\/cs\/collections\/natural-skincare\"\u003eBelleVie Natural \u0026amp; Organic Skincare collection →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Selfnamed","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":56118737600856,"sku":"132069","price":22.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/3533\/2696\/files\/3scLaaDnNrOMitkPsIaZqQU_0_gps_generated.png?v=1762544025","url":"https:\/\/www.belleviecosmetic.com\/cs\/products\/targeted-dark-spot-care-1-kojic-acid-15ml","provider":"BelleVie Skincare","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
