Breaks your skin out!!! Made in THAILAND not Japan
I waited a while to write a review of this Kojic Acid soap because I wanted to give it time to...work. I ordered the soap on TWO separate occasions within a span of six months. There are two bars in the box and both times I ordered, it was delivered on time, and well packaged.
Why did I order this soap? I have Keratosis Pilaris and was hoping to find a soap that could help with exfoliation, as well as helping lighten hyperpigmented areas like between my thighs,and other scars or marks left behind from skin breakouts. Usually,I use glycolic peels and lactic acid to help with hyperpigmentation since I have more of a chocolate complexion. So I thought I would give this soap a try.
I will begin with the positives. First,this soap is nicely packaged and smells like...ORANGES! The first month,I used the soap... not everyday but a few times a week. I LOVED IT! Between my thighs is lighter now and my skin would feel exfoliated after leaving it on for about five minutes,and then rinsing it off.
THEN.....
After a few months of using it, MY SKIN STARTED TO BREAK OUT. I'm talking about first,my skin would become EXTREMELY ITCHY. Then little bumps would pop up all over my body. I never had blemishes on my chest area. NOW I DO. I wanted this soap to help me get rid of blemishes! Not to cause them. Even as I type out this review,my skin is itching terribly! I used the soap this morning. My skin is always a bit dry afterwards,but then I use lotion or oil to moisturize. At this point,I am SURE it is this soap that is causing grief.
Since I am dark skinned,I now have to repair the damage done from this soap. It's upsetting honestly. I know some people will STILL purchase this soap even though there are numerous reviews of it breaking peoples skin out.But just know,you've been warned about the adverse affects.
I'm going to go back to using glycolic acid and lactic acid to help fade blemishes and exfoliate. I will never purchase this soap again.
