Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap Bars, Turmeric Bar Soaps 4 Pack | Original Face and Body Wash Bath Soap for Women and Men with Vitamin C, Retinol, Collagen, Hyaluronic Acid, Shea, Olive Oil

I like the smell its like citrus or lemony. As for the effectiveness it does make my skin a bit glowy but not sure about the lightening part. I didnt have any skin irritation to it and i do have sensitive skin which is good.

What I notice about this product in comparison to Lancome skin care products I have used consistently for the past 2 decades. After the 3rd use I can notice the change. The best way to use this, lather and put on your skin, face, neck, hands, ect... let it stay on for 2-5 minutes than gently remove with water leaving a light residue of the product on the skin. Now in my opinion this is the important part. With a light layer of the product left of the face, using your fingers rub up/down & circular motion on your skin like your rolling off dead skin. This is the top layer of the dead cells that causes wrinkles, sunspots, dark spots, dryness. Again, when I initially rinse the product, I leave a light layer of product on my skin to make it easier to rub & exfoliate the top dead cells on my face, neck, hands( I also used it on my elbows, knees & armpits, 4 bars for $20 is a great deal & I'm willing to buy more since I had awesome results). What I learned about skincare as I get older especially on my face. It's constantly being exposed to environmental elements, sun damage, make-up, my pillow, hard water. By exfoliating my face once a week with a good moisturizer( I used Lancome Absolue Rich or Soft Cream $280 or coconut oil. Dont use a moisturizer with alcohol or Parfums cause it will irritate your skin). It's important to moisturize afterwards cause this product just removed dead cell skin & moisturizer is key! At 45 my skin looks amazing but I had these light sunspots and dry dead skin that causes aging. Not super noticeable but noticeable to me on my cheek bone area and around my eyes. I not only focus on my face but my entire body especially the neck and hands cause those are the areas women tend to neglect and are aging giveaways with sunspots, wrinkles. Also I'd recommend doing this at night before bed to allow your skin to heal vs. going out in the elements wind, sun, humidity and exposing your newly clean sensitive skin to damage causing activities. Again my opinion simply because this bar soap removed the top layer of skin leaving the underlaying of skin, the soft, sumple, fresh layer of skin that gives you the glow & youthfulness we all want. Also I know this is weird but don't do it around your menstrual period time. Why? As a women our hormones are crazy and I know I break out around my chin area. You definitely don't want to irritate your skin while your hormones aka acne period are the cause for a short time of the month. This can cause bacteria around your pimples, break & scratch the skin, leaving scars or marks. Again my own opinion but it works for me cause my hormones cause me to have acne plus I have Lupus and I get butterfly like rash on my face over my nose bridge & cheeks Hope my review helps but definitely a good buy!

Ordered as I am showing signs of aging on my legs in the forms of sun spots. Have only been using it for a few days so I will have to update my review later on efficacy. However, I can give some initial feedback. The bars come nicely packaged in a small box, so no breakage or anything. I ordered four, and immediately noted the distinctive scent of citronella. If you don't like heavy scents, you might not like this right out of the package. It does have a scent to the bar, as noted, but it does not linger on your skin after use. I used a loofah bar soap holder to use it in the shower the first time. Lathers well, and I do feel clean after using. It doesn't leave a film on skin. I don't feel particularly moisturized after use, so I did follow up with some lotion. I will use the four bars and update review for efficacy. I thus far don't notice any reduction in sun spots but that's to be expected given I just started using it. Update, about two weeks after I started using: my skin is definitely softer and smoother. I can’t be positive, because I did not take before photos, but I think the sun spots on my legs are getting lighter. Very happy with product and very hopeful the light scent will also deter bugs in the summer!

After 2-3 days of using this soap, I got two pimples 😢 (I don’t usually get pimples). But they soon went away and didn’t leave any scars. I was very upset that the soap caused the pimples. But then to be honest, I wasn’t sure if the soap is the culprit. I just thought to share this information for those who have more sensitive skin. This soap left my face dry. But that’s okay with me. I think most soaps do this, even the more expensive ones. I just need to make sure to use serum+moisturizer afterwards. After using it a while, I think my skin glows more. I do like the results I’m seeing. The soaps are individually wrapped. The box is nice and is giftable (if not damaged during shipping). I think one bar will probably last 2 month at least (I’ve been using it for almost a month).

I would give 5 stars for how effective this soap was, and how quickly I noticed an improvement in the appearance of my dark spots—bonus: my face felt so soft and clean without being irritated at all. The bar smells pleasant and rinses off easily. I wanted to love it, and I really did. However, I had read something, somewhere in the information/instructions, I think, about using the bar quickly and minimizing your skin’s direct contact with it; this indicated to me that this kojic acid was not a product you could, say, leave on for a while and rinse off later. That got me wondering and a bit concerned, so I looked online to read more about kojic acid. (For what it’s worth, I always ,<olook at multiple reputable sources, sites that give information without having a stake in the issue at hand (like trying to sell an alternative or something). When I see the same information across a number of sites, then I take it seriously. What I found online was that kojic acid is classified as an “endocrine disruptor.” Right away, I knew I had to stop using it, and I was so saddened— it was working so well for my face! But I’m a survivor of a *very* aggressive ER+/PR+ HER2- breast cancer, and although the phrase “endocrine disruptor” was vague (in that I saw no specificity about exactly what was disrupted, nor how so), I reached out to my oncologist about it, and she immediately told me to stop using it NOW. I actually already had, but it hurt my heart to have to throw away 3 pristine bars and 1 barely-used one. I didn’t feel right offering it to any of my friends, though. Ultimately, I give it 3 stars. It works, but at an unknown cost, which is too rich for my blood! Bottom line: Please don’t assume (like I did) that a product is safe & worry-free just because it is highly recommended and has high ratings & good reviews. Make sure that whatever ingredients you use to solve one problem, don’t wind up causing other (and potentially way worse!) problems. Thanks, all, for reading. Be well, everyone!

When I say this soap has me in the bathroom washing my face morning and night!! I love it, smell and the affects of my skin. So bight. I also love the soap bag!!

I’ve been using the Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap for a few weeks and really like it so far. It leaves my skin feeling clean and smooth, and I’ve noticed some gradual fading of dark spots. The scent is nice and it doesn’t leave my skin feeling overly dry. Very effective and the color is an orange and the bar is a perfect size. I love that one of the ingredients is vitamin c which has been proven to help with lightening dark spots!

I’ve been using this soap for about 2-3 months, and the first month I didn’t really see any results. But I’ve been seeing so much improvement after a few more. I forgot to take before pictures, but the line between my hairline and my forehead where I had sun damage is disappearing. My skin is brighter, smoother, and clearer. The hyperpigmentation on my cheeks is disappearing too. My knees and elbows are looking brighter and less dark. Not a ton of improvement on my underarms, but my stretch marks are fading! Would recommend if you’re patient. Smells great too, and makes your skin really smooth and soft. Used it with hyaluronic acid face wash from neutrogena, moisturizer and sunscreen! Soap came neatly packaged with no damage or blemishes. I used it once a day on my face and body.

My knees & my underarms have lightened. My inner thighs are still taking time.

Packaging came damaged…the product was not new from manufacturer(it’d stayed in the store)probably a return item.Box was torn
