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 love that this soap combines several skincare ingredients that each have their own purpose. Kojic acid helps brighten the look of dark spots and uneven skin tone. Turmeric is known for its antioxidant and soothing properties, helping skin look healthier and more radiant. Activated charcoal helps absorb excess oil and remove dirt and impurities from the skin. It also contains vitamin C, which helps brighten the complexion and supports healthy-looking skin, retinol, which encourages smoother-looking skin and improves texture over time, and collagen, which helps keep skin feeling soft and hydrated. The soap lathers well, leaves my skin feeling clean without stripping away moisture, and makes my skin feel fresh and smooth after every use. With consistent use, I’ve noticed my complexion looks brighter and more even. Overall, it’s a great soap with quality ingredients that work well together. Highly recommend!

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!

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.

Skincare is such a personal thing it’s hard to think my review would actually help anyone else. Let me first say, I love that it comes with the little wooden drainage plate, I’d love it even more if it came in a hard case since I travel a lot. It seems to be well made and it smells divine, however I’ve been using it for almost 2 years and my ‘dark spots’ have increased and gotten darker. I’m not saying this soap caused it, just that it certainly didn’t remedy or stop it, unfortunately. There seems to be a lot of other people with good results, so I’m sure it probably has something to do with my skin type or the type of dark spots I have. I’m NOT not recommending it, just saying it didn’t work for me. Good luck and Good Health!!

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!

I bought this because I wanted a soap to help with the overnight dark spots that seem to pop up 😳 It combines kojic acid and vitamin C to help brighten the appearance of uneven skin tone over time, while turmeric is known for its antioxidant properties. Activated charcoal gives it a deep-clean feeling by helping wash away excess oil and daily buildup. It also contains retinol, collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and shea butter, which help keep my skin feeling soft instead of dry after washing. The bar creates a rich lather, rinses clean, and leaves my skin feeling fresh without that tight, stripped feeling some soaps can cause. I’ve been using it consistently on my face and décolletage, and I’ve noticed my skin looks brighter and more even overall. Like most skincare products, I didn’t expect overnight results, but with regular use I’ve been happy with the improvement. With more than 60,000 bars purchased last month, I’m glad I decided to give it a try. I definitely recommend!

As a melanated PCOS woman dealing with hyperpigmentation from waxing, scars from ingrown, hormonal acne, large pores—THIS SOAP IS IT. I’m on week 3 and use this every other night. Applying sunscreen is a must!! Lucky I work in the evening so I’m not always exposed to the sun. I use this at night is best for me because it gives my skin a break from the sun. I literally use this and sunscreen with moisturizer and that’s it because the bar comes with everything. Collagen, retinol, etc. For my body I do use Target’s brand aloe Vera gel (alcohol free) to help hydrate my skin along layering with a body lotion. I like to apply when my skin is damp. I was going to buy Medicube but I’m not spending $34 when I can buy this instead and it’s way cheaper and you get 3 bars. I am already noticing the difference and I’m on week 3. For the whole body, I used this every other day or less and I apply moisturizer while my skin is damp. Now for every day use—I target my stubborn hyperpigmentation area like under my chin, inner thighs, and arm pits and rinse off for under 20 seconds or less. I’ve noticed my pores have shrunk as well and my skin looks a lot more even! So far I have not had any skin irritations… finger cross but definitely listen to skin because you can tell it’s time to take break and come back to it. Lol

I had used it before and saw great results from the soap. I was nearly out and thought that I'd replenish before I regretted it. Thank you for a great product

As per expectation

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

Pleased with item, as described

Saw some improvement not a lot.
