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)

This is easy to use and the color is clear and doesn't lather up but I like that fact. My skin feels free of soap residue and feels soft and moisturized. I like this soap. I have been using a few days and my skin does feel lighter. A great buy and I use it twice a day and it appears to meet the goal of reducing dark spots.

Nice soap. Refreshing and cleaning. I love the scent and effectiveness. Easy to use plus a nice size bar. I'm new to this soap and I will say I do see a slight change in the brown spots on my face. I am hoping for continuing results.

No it's not a gimmick, nor a lie. This soap really works. I've been repurchaisng this item now for 4 years. So what does it do for me! I'll tell you! Please keep In mind this soap is not a miracle worker it requires use dedicatedly over time. So what has it done for for my oily sensitive skin. With prolonged use it: 1. It helps evens and brighten skin tone 2. Helps fade scarring 3. Helps reduce acne and blemishes 4. Helps reduce the looks of dark spots if any What this product does NOT do is bleach the skin. This is not a skin bleaching item. So if that's what you'd like it's not for you. I however was not looking for that particular usage. I typically cut one block into 6 smaller squares and use each smaller square as a face wash. I rub thebsoap between my hands till foamy then apply to the skin. Then I use a facial cleansing brush to clean the face. WARNING work quickly this product is not meant to be left on the skin if you feel ANY tingling or irritation even the slightest that's your cue to rinse it off immediately. This product will dry out your skin. A serum, hydrating moisturizer, and/or leave on face mask is HIGHLY recommended. Furthermore in some cases your skin may feel raw. That's okay as long as its not irritated. I do recommend using this product 2-3 times a week until you build up your tolerance. If going into direct sunlight after use pair with a facial sunscreen! Trust me this will help your progress! But overall a tried a true product of mine. Little bit goes a long way. And make sure you are using it consistently. From my experience you can start seeing resukts with a proper skin care routine in 3-4 weeks.

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.

Well , I am so committed to this soap that this is the third time i've tried to leave a review on it. For some reason , downloading a picture has been kicking me off. Three points of interest, many commented that the soap does not lather. The soap does lather , but there is a trick to it. Simply wet your face , then what your hands and spin the bar between your two hands for fifteen to eighteen rotations. You will have a decent lather to wash your face.Although the lather does dissipate quickly , but a small price to pay for how great your face feels afterwards. I also appreciate getting two bars as I have one at my vanity sink and one in the shower. As for the smell, I was not crazy about it at first. More of a fresh/chemical type smell, but I have grown to like it knowing how wonderful it makes my face feel. Now I just smell fresh smell. I hope this review helps you decide as it took me. Three tries to get it on here!

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....

This is my second time ordering. I never regret it. I cut my bar into 3 that way my body and face don't mix. I'm really pale so dark spots look out of place on my knees, but with the soap it evens out my skin tone. With my face, I find it keeps mosquitos away, which is helpful when in summer Florida. But I haven't gotten bit on my face, and my face stopped breaking out and feeling so dry. My MIL got the same 2 pack but hers is still a bar. So I guess they last long.

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
