Melanin-rich skin. Most products are made for lighter skin and sold to everyone. Toji was built for melanin-rich skin from day one, and works extremely well because of it.
Dark marks, acne scars, razor bumps and uneven tones. Use it on your face, underarms, inner thighs, bikini lines, knees, hands and elbows.
Dark marks, pigmentation and acne marks are darker because your skin is making too much melanin in that one spot. Tyrosinase is the enzyme that switches melanin production on. Kojic acid blocks tyrosinase, interfering with the process, reducing melanin production and the appearance of darkness.
Clinically proven to brighten and even out skin as a leave-on serum, not a wash-off soap. Our serum stays active until your next wash, blocking the source while your marks fade.
In 1907, Japanese researchers made an incredible discovery. Sake’s master brewers, known as “The Toji”, were said to have remarkably smooth, even hands, despite years of demanding, hands-on work.
Intrigued, researchers investigated the fermentation process and the koji mould used to produce these traditional foods. They identified a compound produced during fermentation called kojic acid. In 1988, Japan officially approved kojic acid as an active brightening ingredient.
Do it right away. Same light, same angle. Dark marks fade gradually, and you’ll want proof of how far you’ve come.
Smooth a thin layer over clean, dry skin and your marks. In the morning, follow with SPF moisturiser. Sensitive skin? Start once a day for the first two weeks.
No rinsing. This is the difference. While soaps wash down the drain in under a minute, the serum stays on your skin, blocking the source of your dark marks hour after hour.
Pull up that photo. Dark marks took months to form. Eight weeks of contact is when you’ll see what a soap never gave you the chance to see.
Cleanse your face and pat dry, so the kojic serum sits directly on your dark marks with nothing in the way.
Remove both protective films and place each piece onto your face, upper and lower, smoothing it over your dark marks.
Leave on for 1–2 hours, or until the mask turns fully transparent. The longer the kojic acid stays on your skin, the more time it has to work on your marks.
Gently peel off the mask and pat the remaining serum into your skin. Don’t rinse. In the morning, always follow with SPF.

"Two months postpartum and my skin was the worst it had ever been. Pregnancy made my pigmentation and breakouts so much worse, and nothing I tried was touching it. I'd already been to the dermatologist...no help. I started using Toji and noticed a difference in the very first week. My skin is visibly clearer, softer and evening out. For the first time in months I actually feel like myself again."
"I’m one to rarely write reviews but this stuff works wonders for me! I wish I would’ve found it years ago. I’ve struggled with hyperpigmentation, ingrown hairs, dark spots and uneven skin for years & after two weeks of use I could tell a significant difference. My skin looked more vibrant, my pores weren't clogged, dark spots were vanishing and my ingrowns weren’t nearly as bad as before. Even after a hair cut. I love this product and will be using it for life!!"
"Dark underarms and bikini line pigmentation had me avoiding tank tops and swimsuits for years. I'd tried so many things and nothing touched it. I started using Toji on my face and body and within weeks I could see my underarms, bikini line and elbows all evening out. My face is clear and glowing too. Do not second guess this. Buy it today. I use it all over my body now and I am not going back."
"After more than 30 years of struggling with dark spots and a lack of knowledge regarding the best care for my beautiful skin, my son recommended Toji. After 3 weeks, I can see a tremendous difference. Toji followed up with quick informative updates explaining their process and level setting expectations around results that was right on point! Their communication process is outstanding. I am pleased with the product and my interactions with the company."
Our serum is built to stay on your skin, blocking tyrosinase, the enzyme behind dark spots, uneven tone and discolouration. Most products rinse off in under a minute.
Your Skin Already Feels Different
Dark spots, acne marks and areas of hyperpigmentation begin their visible fade. Your skin’s natural, even tone starts coming through for the first time in years.
People Are Starting to Notice
With every application, the serum keeps blocking the source of older, more stubborn marks that rinse-off products never had time to work on. Every concern area starts responding.
It’s Working Longer
Three months of consistent daily use has done what years of rinse-off products couldn’t. Your oldest marks have faded, new marks fade faster, and with daily SPF every result you’ve earned is protected. Keep going.
What You’ve Been Working Towards
Every batch of our kojic acid undergoes third-party testing to confirm unmatched purity and potency. While others rely on claims, we rely on data, and the results speak for themselves.
92% saw fading of dark spots and acne scars.
93% saw a huge reduction in razor bumps & ingrown hairs.
95% said their skin was brighter and more even within 4 weeks.
*Based on a 20-week customer survey of 962 participants.
Fades dark spots & hyperpigmentation
Kojic acid blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme that switches melanin production on, so dark spots fade at the source. Licorice root supports a more even-looking tone alongside it.
Fades acne & razor bump marks
Breakouts and razor bumps heal, but the dark marks they leave behind can stay for months. Kojic acid fades those marks, while turmeric and licorice help calm the look of irritated skin.
Works for hours, not seconds
Soaps rinse off in under a minute. Our serum stays on your skin morning and night, so kojic acid keeps blocking tyrosinase long after a soap would be down the drain.
Hydrates without drying
The most common complaint about kojic and turmeric soaps is dry, tight skin. Aloe vera, glycerin and castor oil keep your skin hydrated and comfortable with every use.
Any questions?
No. It fades dark marks back towards your natural tone; it doesn’t change your tone. There’s no hydroquinone, no bleach, no mercury and no steroids. It targets the spots where your skin is overproducing melanin, not the skin around them.
Keep it. A soap cleans, but it rinses off in under a minute, before it has time to work on your marks. Our serum stays on your skin morning and night, so kojic acid keeps blocking the source for hours.
Use your soap to cleanse, then follow with our serum. It’s the step your routine has been missing.
In 1907, Japanese researchers made an incredible discovery. Sake’s master brewers, known as the toji, were said to have remarkably smooth, even hands, despite years of demanding, hands-on work with koji. Intrigued, researchers investigated the fermentation process and the koji mould used to produce these traditional foods. They identified a compound produced during fermentation: kojic acid.
The secret? Kojic acid blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme that switches melanin production on. Kojic acid is clinically shown to help skin look brighter and more even when left on the skin for hours, which is exactly how our serum works.
Yes. Kojic acid blocks tyrosinase, the enzyme behind excess pigment, so dark marks and patches fade over time. Older, stubborn patches take longer, and pigment linked to hormones (such as melasma) responds most slowly of all.
Daily SPF is essential. If your patches are spreading or changing, see a dermatologist.
Most people start to see marks fading at weeks 3–4, with clearer results by week 8 of morning and night use. Older, deeper marks can take up to 12 weeks.
Take a before photo on day one: fading is gradual, and you’ll want to see how far you’ve come.
Yes, and that’s how you’ll get the best results. If you have sensitive skin, start once a day at night for the first two weeks, then move to morning and night once your skin has adjusted.
Yes, every morning. Sun is one of the biggest reasons dark marks come back or get darker. Apply SPF moisturiser over your serum each day, so the progress you’re making isn’t undone.
It can be in strong, poorly balanced formulas, and on melanin-rich skin irritation can cause new dark marks. That’s why ours pairs kojic acid with aloe vera, glycerin and licorice root to keep skin calm and hydrated.
Patch test first, start once a day, and if you feel stinging, reduce how often you use it.
Yes. It’s designed for face and body, including underarms, inner thighs, bikini line, knees and elbows. Avoid broken skin, freshly shaved skin and intimate mucous areas.
Body marks often take longer to fade than facial ones, so give them the full 8–12 weeks.
Yes, on the dark marks left behind once bumps and breakouts have healed. Don’t apply it to active bumps, open spots or broken skin.
Raised or pitted acne scars are a change in texture rather than pigment, so it won’t change those.
Yes, but introduce one at a time. Using several actives together can irritate your skin, and irritation can cause new marks.
If you use retinol or exfoliating acids, use them on alternate nights to our serum, and stop if you feel stinging or redness.
No. The turmeric is part of a balanced formula and won’t stain your skin. Let the serum absorb before dressing.
Please check with your doctor or midwife first. Pregnancy often brings new pigmentation, and they can advise what’s right for you.

I love these masks. I can already see and feel the difference.
I'm really pleased with this product. I've been trying for some time to find a way to lessen the increasing dark marks along my cheeks. This is my first time trying a product like this. I don't have any before pictures but believe me it works! Not only have I been happy with the results, I am also seeing a significant change under my eyes, which I really wasn't expecting. Beyond that the mask feels really nice on my skin - very luxurious. I could not be more satisfied.
23 days in and my dark mark hyperpigmentation is really starting to fade and even out. My skin is also really soft and glowy. Annoyed I didn't purchase this on monthly subscription as I will be buying again soon!
I've gotten many compliments on my glowing face. I'm spreading the word!
