Can Kojic acid permanently lighten skin?

The bottom line: Kojic acid skincare is not cytotoxic and therefore cannot permanently lighten your skin tone. ... Kojic acid skincare may also in some cases permanently lighten skin tone for example when skin darkening has been caused by temporary skin damage i.e. as a result of acne.
