VALITIC Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap Bars with Vitamin C, Retinol, Collagen, Turmeric - Original Japanese Complex Infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Castile Olive Oil (2 Pack)

I purchased the VALITIC Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap specifically to help lighten the darker pigmentation on my underarms. I had some discoloration from years of shaving, and I was looking for something gentle that I could easily add to my daily shower routine. I used the soap once to twice a day for about one month, allowing the lather to sit on my underarms for about 30–60 seconds before rinsing. I also followed up with a moisturizer to help keep my skin hydrated. After about 3–4 weeks, I started noticing that my underarms looked more even in tone and noticeably lighter. The change wasn't dramatic overnight, but it was enough that I felt more confident wearing sleeveless tops. Consistency definitely seemed to be the key. What worked well: Rich lather that feels gentle on the skin. Didn't leave my underarms feeling dry or tight. Easy to incorporate into my daily shower routine. I noticed gradual brightening after about a month of regular use. The bars seem long-lasting, especially since the pack comes with two. What could be improved: The soap has a mild scent, which I didn't mind, but those looking for a more fragrant product may find it too subtle. Also, don't expect instant results—it takes patience and consistent use.

I purchased this soap specifically to help with my hands. I am 72 and the.age spots are not good. Have only been using for less than a week so no results yet. I have high hopes. Leaves your skin feeling clean. There is no smell

This kojic acid soap is one of those skincare products that feels simple but very targeted. It lathers well and feels like it gives a deep clean while also helping with uneven tone and dark spots over time. The blend of ingredients like kojic acid, vitamin C, retinol, collagen, and turmeric makes it feel like more than just a basic cleansing bar, especially for areas like the face and body where discoloration is a concern. What I like is that it fits easily into a routine and can be used on different areas of the body without feeling complicated. It does have active ingredients, so it is important to moisturize well afterward and be consistent for best results. It is also a rinse off product, so expectations should be realistic, but many people use it as a supportive step for brighter, more even looking skin over time.

Very satisfied with my order. The soap is so gentle to my skin.. And helps lighten my dark skin in short very effective. One thing I love also with this soap is very moisturizing, so very light every time soaping my skin. And the aroma is not harsh. Everything is so well to my skin.

Not my first purchase .If you have if you have hyperpigmentation, or just want to renew and reclaim your skin this is the best product, especially for sensitive skin. I recommend to only use it twice a week because it will dry out your skin, but the best combo would be intense moisturizing lotion and sunscreen. You usually see results within three weeks.

I was so eager to try this out after seeing customer reviews that I forgot to take a before pic!! 😩 I paired it with a soap scrub bag and LET ME TELL YOU I already saw results after ONE use! I gave the 2nd bar to my daughter, so I’m definitely going to be ordering some more! No skin irritation & the smell is pleasant, my dark spots are already lighter ❤️ ** Side note: Idk if it’s because I went to town scrubbing, but the bar already feels so much smaller, so maybe a little does go a long way like I saw one user mention (?)

After using this product for several weeks and not seeing any reduction in dark spots I decided to research the ingredients of this soap. Now dermatologists say you can use Vitamin C and Retinol together but there is a caveat to that. It seems that Vitamin C by itself should be used at least 30 minutes prior to using Retinol to allow for proper absorption in the skin, while there is an ongoing debate that it should be used in the morning and Retinol at night. You are not allowed that option with this soap as these are combined together. Valery Aparovich, a certified cosmetologist-aesthetician and biochemist said "The risk of incompatibility depends on the percentage of these ingredients in product formulations. Generally, an optimal potency for vitamin C is 10 to 15 percent, and a baseline of 0.5 percent for retinol." Those percentages are not listed on the soap. (Why not?) Dermatologists also stipulate that Vitamin C and Retinol are safe to use together UNLESS you experience irritation. This is where it gets intresting. At least for me anyway After using this soap for several weeks, I started experiencing that irritation that Dermatologists warn about. Small red cracks began appearing on my forehead and by the crease near my nose. Blackheads were never washed away and looked like they were worsening albeit there was a kind of bleaching of my facial skin tone making it lighter but the dark spots and hyperpigmentation remained making me look worse. Then, as if by magic, I started noticing wrinkles and lines forming so fast I started to panic. OMG this soap will age you quickly, so you better make sure that you have a very good moisturizing cream to apply afterwards to try and control it. I say very good because the Ive St Laurent collagen and elastin moisturizer that I used with good results for years seemed too weak to get the job done. The crow's feet remained and got deeper, and lines started forming going down my face vertically like tears would, from my eye areas, my moisturizer was just barely holding it at bay and then for only several hours before they would start to reappear. I'm still horrified. If you use this soap, I do not recommend leaving it on your face for any length of time, other than the time it takes to wash your face quickly. It does say to rinse immediately so the manufacturer is aware of the adverse results if you allow the soap to stay on your face like you would with regular soap. Do not try to get excess lather from it on your face and make sure you use a very good moisturizer immediately after drying off or you will see yourself become old right before your very eyes when you look into the mirror. Understanding that, I still have the dark spots and hyperpigmentation problem and have decided to switch to the Koji San Kojic acid soap available here on Amazon which although smaller in size and a little pricier, does not have a Vitamin C-Retinol base. I am hoping that this soap will be the facial stain killer I'm looking for as there are no contraindicated ingredients like this one has. I will probably review it by May 2024 for those who follow me, to give the two bars time to work. Update 11/27/25: Even the Koji San Kojic acid soap didn't get rid of the dark spots. However I have had some better success taking microingredients multi collagen peptides and using tea tree body wash on my face. Just saying....

I was hesitant about using this product but I’m glad I did. I can’t speak for others but I can for myself. My skin is very sensitive to certain products. I tried using this with the Netrogena Hydo Boost Gel Cleanser and it was too much. So I decided to use only this product alone and allow my own skin moisture to keep my skin soft afterwards. It has helped me with ingrown hair and keep my skin clear. I have never had a problem with pimples or acne. I will continue to use this product on a regular basis. I will try to send some before and after pictures later. Again this is a great product 👌🏾

As per expectation

I honestly don't see much of a difference. Does not lather very easily either.

Excelente!!! hidratante. Tengo poco tiempo de uso para afirmar que aclara las manches.

ممتازه للاستخدام المستمر
