Why Everyone Loves Our Koji Pads

Our Koji Pads are a fan-favorite for a reason: they’re daily-use treatment pads that tackle pigmentation, uneven skin tone, texture, and signs of photoaging.

Koji Pads

At KH, we prioritize formulation integrity and results you can see.

 KH Koji Pads are a cornerstone of our clinical skincare line.


What sets these pads apart is their simplicity and efficacy. Each ingredient is selected for its clinical relevance and ability to work synergistically to support healthy skin function.

A Targeted, Multi-Mechanism Approach


Pigmentation and texture issues often stem from a combination of factors: inflammation, disrupted skin barrier, abnormal melanocyte activity, and impaired cell turnover. The KH Koji Pads address these through a thoughtfully balanced blend of exfoliating agents, pigment regulators, and antioxidants — without the use of hydroquinone, fragrance, or preservatives.

Key Ingredients + Function:

A gentle yet powerful exfoliant for smooth, radiant skin.

  • Activated Arbutin (4%)
    A gentle but powerful brightening agent that helps fade dark spots, melasma, and discoloration caused by sun damage — with less risk of irritation than traditional lightening ingredients.

  • Salicylic Acid (0.5%)
    A gentle exfoliant that works inside the pores to clear out oil and buildup, helping smooth skin texture and enhance the absorption of other ingredients.

  • Kojic Acid (2%)
    A naturally derived ingredient that helps reduce visible pigmentation and even out skin tone. It works especially well when paired with arbutin for added brightening.

  • Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C, 10%)
    A highly effective antioxidant that helps brighten skin, protect against environmental stress, and support collagen production. It also boosts the overall performance of the formula.

Each pad is individually dosed to preserve potency and reduce oxidation — a critical factor in ensuring the integrity of vitamin C and other actives.

How to Use for Optimal Results

Application: Apply to clean, dry skin. Start with use every other day for the first 1–2 weeks. If well tolerated, increase to daily use.


Note: Avoid introducing additional exfoliants, retinoids, or other actives during the initial acclimation phase.


Storage: As a custom-compounded product, the KH Koji Pads are most effective within 60–90 days. Refrigeration can extend stability up to 4 months.

Why It Works 

The KH Koji Pad was developed to provide a streamlined, evidence-based treatment option for stubborn pigmentation and texture concerns — without relying on hydroquinone or harsh actives that can compromise the skin barrier.

This is an ideal product for patients with melasma, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, or those preparing for or recovering from in-office procedures. It’s also an effective maintenance tool between treatments.
