Skin and Body Brightening Soap - Original Kojic Acid, Dark Spot Remover Bar Soap with Glycerin & Tea Tree Oil - 65g x 2 Bars

I’ve used Kojie San soap for a few years now. I initially bought it to lighten dark acne scars on my cheeks. I feel like I am an expert now and know all about this product Bc I’ve used this for years and I have tried other products to remove dark spots with no results. So now I have finally decided to make a good and honest review. If you have any questions please fill free to ask away! Here is how I use this soap to get the BEST results/tips and tricks: This soap melts very easily and lathers up really quickly. So it’s best to cut the soap into long rectangles and preserve them. Use one piece for your face, one for your body etc. do not mix them Bc you will spread bacteria and oils and cause more acne. Also the scent is a lovely bright citrus orange scent. It is not overwhelming and makes you feel super clean! FACE: To use on my face I lather it in my hands and massage the foam on my entire face. However I am careful to avoid the skin under my eyes and the skin around my mouth. This soap tingles your face and will slightly sting if your new to it. You want to avoid sensitive areas Bc this WILL burn you if you allow it to. You may be a little red after washing it off but it’s normal. I leave that foam on my face until it completely DRIES it takes like 3 minutes for it to Bc transparent. Then I reactivate it with a little bit of water massaging it on my face one more time before washing it off with COOL water. Dry your face with a soft towel and GENTLY exfoliate your face with the towel to remove any dead skin cells. This is what removes that dark layer of the acne spot. Depending on your skin type use a moisturizer. I use organic coconut oil even tho I have acne prone skin it works for me and does not break me out more. You can also use unscented argon oil. Over time your spots and acne it will become lighter and lighter and disappear from your face trust me! This doesn’t take very long at the most 5 minutes. Do not leave it on for 10+ minutes Bc it can cause irritation. If you feel it burns too much identify the areas that are more sensitive than others and avoid putting a heavy layer on that area. Also sometimes I would use a topical acne cream over a blemish if it was really bad after washing my face with kojie San however you want to be careful Bc it can burn you Bc your skin is already tender from the tingle of the soap. So be careful and apply very little. I use this method at night before I sleep Bc you might be a little red however if you use this method in the morning please use sunblock no matter what. Bc this helps lighten dark spots it will leave your face fresh and delicate to the suns harmful raise and you will get burned. So use sunscreen generously! Store soap in a dry area and wrap it up to use for next time! BACK: To use on your back the method I’ve been using is similar to my face. Now personally I’ve been breaking out ALOT on my back. It could be from my hormones and from sweating but it has caused me to refrain from wearing backless or strapless clothing. So now I use kojie San on my back. I feel like I’m seeing faster results on my back Bc I break out so much that I notice a big difference. However I do see amazing results on my face too. Now the skin on your back is tougher and thicker than the skin on your face. So I do this topless to avoid getting it on my clothes or wear a strapless bra. I lather the soap up I designated for my back only. (Keeps bars of soap separate for face and body to avoid spreading bacteria) lather it up and apply it all over my back. My shoulder blades are where I get the most acne breakouts. I apply it all over then again let it dry completely, reapply another layer if needed and let it dry again. Touch your back to make sure it’s completely dry and not sticky then I put my shirt back on and go about my day. Yes you will leave this on your back all day or night and wash it off next time you shower. It does not sting or burn your back unless you have really extremely sensitive skin. Once you wash it off scrub your back vigorously and you’ll see that exfoliating your back will scrub off all of the dead skin. You will see how much actually comes off. After you get out of the shower your back may feel dry so you can apply some natural Shea or coco butter unscented if you want. It locks in moisture and helps you not to flake. This really helps your acne on your back. The strong kojic acid in the soap kills bacteria on your back and lightens the dark spots and reduces acne Bc your drying out the break outs. The key the use this soap is CONSISTENCY! If you do not make this a routine you will NOT see results. I use my face routine every other day Bc it can be harsh on my face. However my back routine I use it 2-3 times a week to avoid break outs and also any flaking if you were to use it everyday. I love this soap and constantly buy this to help my acne and dark spots! It works wonders if you know how to use it! Hope this helps :)

I've been using this for about 8 days now and I feel the change and seeing a little glow. However, my friend has been using hers for 3 months and she changed her makeup foundation by 1 shade. I know that doesn't sound like much but to us that is huge. Being of south East Asian decent, when we tan we tan and it never goes away. I loved it growing up, but as an adult the extra melanin leaves dry patches on my face/body and an uneven skin tones throughout. Plus I like the slow transition, I don't want to scare myself if I went for chocolate to white chocolate overnight. What I do: I do my face and hands first at the sink. The soap does melt fast so I cut the soap up into 10 smaller pieces. 1 piece lasts me about 3 days. The bar of soap is so small. Anyways, I put the soap directly to my skin instead of a face cloth because you'll lose more of the soap that's left on the cloth (I'm just frugal). Other people posted reviews saying that the soap tingles or burns and to leave it on for 2-5 minutes; the first night I did 2 minutes. No tingle or burn, the second day I did 5 minutes and each day I've been increasing the time by 2-3 minutes as tolerated. To me it feels like more of a tightening sensation like a clay mask. When the time is up I hop into the shower and rinse it off, lather and rinse my body with body soap, then cut the water off. I wash my body first to get the dirt off. Then I put the soap all over my body and let it dry. Again time is based on your preference. For me I do 10-15 minutes. During this time I'll do a clay mask and maybe deep condition my hair. Or do whatever makes you happy, just let it dry onto your skin. When I wash it off. I use hydration lotion and use proactive then get ready for bed. What I noticed: • seriously looks and smells like orange starburst, boyfriend tried to eat one. • skin feels so tight and smooth. • I did notice that the more I used it on my face the more I noticed the black/white heads I had on my face!!! I read one reviewer that mentioned that the soap left pits in her face. Well, yeah if you have large pores or black/white heads under the surface of your skin. It's like the layers of skin the soap removed reveals the ugly truth that proactive didn't actually work for me. So my suggestion if you use it on your face, do a charcoal mask or clay mask once a week. • if you have dark skin, you might see the melanin being washed off. For me another reason I wash before I use the soap is because I thought I was dirty after washing off the soap the first time. Then, I second time I implemented the pre-wash to determine if it was dirt or skin and my surprise it was skin. It made me happy to know it does work. Note you'll have to clean the tub at minimum once a week. I did ever 3 days because I noticed a dark ring around my drain. That's all I have so far. I hope this help someone. I like details and I love reading other people's reviews because every dollar counts in my house. I do recommend this even if your not trying to lighten skin. It's like a toner for your body.

i found a routine that works for me now! after months of breakouts & slow fading, i finally cracked the code. my confidence has come back! in october of 2025, my face started breaking out terribly. fasting forward, i bought this soap on august 3rd, 2026. didn’t start using it until august 5th of 2026. my routine is/was: morning: laroche posay gentle cleanser > the ordinary alpha arbutin > laroche posay matte moisturizer w/ spf night: kojic acid soap (let it sit for 1-5 minutes or until absorbed UNLESS it burns) > alpha arbutin > if skin is feeling sensitive, use Aestura Atobarrier cream, if not equate oil free moisturizer. if you are having active breakouts, use benzoyl peroxide as a mask instead of the KA soap. if your skin is textured, use salicylic acid wash instead of the KA soap. check out my progress & time stamps. my face is back to normal & i rarely have breakouts now unless i eat certain things. i have oily skin, but this works for me so .. hopefully this helps you too! i cut my soap into blocks.

This product has not improved my sun marks nor skin texture. I have used it for months with no visible improvement. It will clean all of the day's dirt and oil. It is very drying. I go some in my eyes and I thought i was going to go blind. I couldn't open my eyes for a full day. It took about a week for my vision to go back to normal.

These get the job done no lies it clears white heads, black heads, dark spots, just let it sit on the face for about 30 secs to a minute then rinse and you see your results. It also brightens your skin works truly amazingly. It can leave face feeling dry after constant using so go in with your moisturizer after and spf .

I've been using this soap consistently, and I'm honestly impressed. The dark spots I've been trying to fade haven't disappeared completely, but they've lightened significantly, and my skin tone looks much more even than when I started. The results were gradual, so don't expect an overnight miracle, but if you're patient and use it consistently, you'll likely notice a real difference. I'm going to keep using it because I'm hopeful they'll continue to fade over time. It leaves my skin feeling clean without being overly drying, and it's one of the few products I've tried that has made a visible difference. Definitely worth trying if you're dealing with dark spots! 🌟

Instant effect recommend it

It’s literally my routine for every day makes my skin soft and as someone who has sensitive skin it helped me with my dark circles and my hyperpigmentation and pimples yay ty I’m running out of it so imma buy one again 🫶🏼😝it also made my skin lighter 🫪ty send me some for free 😭😂

Love it! Cleanses, exfoliates and lightens! Smells beautiful- botanical

This is the good one I used in HS, to get rid of my dark circles, hyperpigmentation, acanthosis nigricans, pimples/boils from the IR, bumps from skin chaffing. I used it religiously from ages 16-19 and it worked like a charm to give me the clearest skin ever. After moving overseas to France (from the USA), a couple of years in I decided to use a skin care routine. It worked for a year, until it was no good at getting rid of the stubborn hyperpigmentation that wrecked the appearance of my visage and body. It was a skin care routine suited for more Caucasian/European skin types, while Kojie san works quite well for Asian and African skin, so it didn't have much effectiveness after a while. I will update my review after several months of use; but I have high expectations as this is exactly the one that rescued my skin a decade ago.

It’s so good
