Botanicals on Par With Hydroquinone for Treating Melasma

Perhaps the most effective pigment-lightening agent in the over-the-counter market, she said, is kojic acid, a hydrophilic fungal derivative evolved from Acetobacter , Aspergillus , and Penicillium . Obtained from mushrooms, it inhibits tyrosinase by binding to copper. "Kojic acid is thought to be the most effective active [agent] behind hydroquinone," said Dr. Draelos, who is also a consulting professor of dermatology at Duke University in Durham, N.C.

Licorice extracts are also widely used for the treatment of melasma, particularly the licorice-derived flavonoids liquiritin and isoquercetin. "Glabridin is the most commonly used substance," Dr. Draelos said. "It is commonly combined with kojic acid and other active agents in order to create a sort of cocktail to multidimensionally inhibit pigment production."
