Formula
- Glycolic Acid
- Kojic Acid
- Mulberry Extract
- Phytic Acid
- α-Arbutin
The glycolic acid helps to exfoliate the skin and get rid of clumps of dead skin cells. Some research has also linked it to pigment dispersion which reduces dark spots and increases collagen synthesis in the lower layers of the skin. The kojic acid and alpha arbutin are able to reduce the production of the pigment responsible for the dark spots seen on the skin. The mulberry extract contains a number of antioxidants and astringent agents. It provides hydration to the skin and helps to reduce any sort of inflammation from external factors. The phytic acid has similar effect and works well together with the mulberry extract.

Sesderma Kojicol Skin Lightener Gel Review – The Bottom Line
The ingredients in this product are well explained in scientific literature and research and so there is some positive evidence for the effectiveness of this product. The manufacturer is also very clear about how to use this product best. The problem is that no guarantee is offered on this product which means that the manufacturer is not completely confident of its effectiveness themselves. This therefore decreases our confidence in the product. Customers are generally most satisfied when they purchase a product that has no doubts in its effectiveness and unfortunately this is not one of those products.
