I'm looking for a natural and pure skin lightener/brightener, but all the ones I've found have Kojic Acid and I want to find one without it. Because I have very sensitive skin and heard it can be irritating or cause reactions to those with sensitive skin.

So far I just have the homemade vitamin c serum, but I need something stronger then that. I bought some Licorice Root Extract Tincture from Whole Foods. It has a tiny bit of alcohol but not much. Can I use this? What would I add it too and how much to make a serum? I know that Licorice is a popular ingredient in many lightening serums, but I don't know how much of it they use, what %. Thanks.

How sensitive is your skin? Mine is pretty sensitive but I'm using a lightener with Kojic acid without any irritation.

Thanks, but I'd just rather avoid it anyways. There are so many alternatives and different ingredients that do the same thing as it, so I don't see why it's necc. to use. My skin is so sensitive it can't even handle salicylic acid, or most acids.
