We have used Kojic acid, a by-product of the fermentation process of Japanese sake, has shown some improvement in fading the brown spots because it inhibits tyrosinase. Another product Renova also shows some improvement in fading brown spots. Azelaic acid, derived from grains such as wheat and rye, also shows promise in terms of fading hyper-pigmentation.
Hydroquinone, which has been used in cosmetics for over 30 years, remains the best bet. Most topical formulas contain two to four percent concentrations and, combined with the use of tretinoin, show significant success in inhibiting melanin and fading sun spots.
