Kojie San Kojic Acid Soap

Absolutely my favorite face bar soap, and works amazingly well! This soap has simultaneously brightened my dull skin, cleared my acne, and has been correcting the discoloration from my acne scars very quickly. Usually it takes about 3-5 months for my acne scars to fade completely on their own, but since using this soap the new acne scarring I got (My skin purged while using this my first week) are already almost gone and it's been a single month! They'll probably be completely faded within another few weeks, that's how effective this soap has been for me just by washing my face with it twice a day!One thing I will mention is that this soap burns if I try to double lather (wash face twice in one session) or if I just let the foam sit on my face for around 30ish seconds or more. I have also found that I absolutely can't use any exfoliation tools like a wash cloth with the soap because my face will burn and be very irritated for days if I do, so it's hands only for this product. This soap can also be drying but as long as you have a super hydrating moisturizer you shouldn't ever have an issue.All in all this soap is amazing and I'll be swapping out the other soaps I have for this one, my only thing is that I will probably not order the soap from Amazon next time and will just use the official site. They have large bars in huge bulk packs on their website unlike Amazon who only sells the smallest bars in packs of two at most, so I will be purchasing from there instead but I do have to give Amazon their flowers for helping me discover this gem of a soap brand 💐❤️

when i read the reviews the negative reviews bothered me, the dry skin, staining the bathroom, melting fast , pigmentation getting worse.my skin color is a golden tan ...my nature skin at birth was much much lighter , more whitish yellow ...due to my ethnicity i tan easily, and high levels of pigmentation so i have turned a golden tan over the years due to sun exposure. when i get woulnded it leaves a black mark that takes long time to disappear.I had a bad ace attack from a bout 2 years and was left with lots of black marks , i tried a laser therapy that left me with massive patch burns. i wouldn't be more depressed it was much worse than my acne marks. i had nothing to loose i tried this.Drying - yes it is drying , it dried my body a lot but not my face perhaps because i have oily skin. also though some comments say it is drying due to the acid which for some part could be true , this is actually a purely coconut oil based soap. If you know anything about soap making you will know a pure coconut oil soap is the most drying soap , its ability to attach to dirt and really strip the skin is well known in soap making, thats why beauty soaps are made with olive, shea, cocoa butter, almond , oils as such. considering the purpose of this soap , to lighten, ill accept the drying and moisturize more during the period of use , and not have high expectations of a beautiful beauty soap.Staining the bathroom- i didn't experience this , again i'm not doubting at all the other's experience, I'm sure it would have, but i can not say that this is a common issue with this soap. it did not even wash off orange in color , it washed off as any other soap suds, transparent. I'm thinking perhaps its a mater of hard water in the area you live ? I live in hong kong.Dissolving fast - didn't experience this but i have no doubt it would have happened if you leave the soap in moist surfaces or exposed to water splashes. i removed the soap out of the shower soon after use.pigmentation getting worse- didn't happen but again i can see why it could happen .. as some say sun block is paramount ! even indoors,your skin IS exposed to the UV rays even indoors,through windows. although you have direct shield from sun over your head. it is annoying to apply sun block at home during the day but , desperate times folks ! also when your normal skin lightens even more than your pigmented areas that can give the elution of marks getting worse.So the big question , does this soap work ? Absolutely it does. My natural skin color has appeared and during the transition yes the marks and burned areas looked like it was darker because the normal skin lightens much faster , highlighting the dark marks, but soon after they are lighting too....after only 2 weeks of use my scares have not disappeared completely obviously , i even doubt if the burs will ever complete go but i can assure you the acne marks are almost invisible , the burs are so much lighter and blending in to my skin, there is still a dark outline of the original burn but I'm so happy for these results, i use much much less foundation and the unharmed skin is so clear. My objective is not to reach my birth color I'm not concerned about my tanned skin but naturally i have to accept the lightning of the skin to fade the dark marks.few advice i can give - if you have never used any kind of acid in any form before, such as creams , toners , go easy and maybe start the 1st week with every other day usage , it will tingle the skin , it did for me even after using acid creams and toners long before. the tingling is not a bad thing but at the end if it is a 1st time for acid , start slow to be gentle on your skin.do not manually exfoliate during the use of this soap u might really harm your skin as Kocic Acid already exfoliates your skin. moisturize well! dont be afraid of this soap its not a scary application of "acid" on your face ..but it IS an acid so do take is step by step until you get used to it. If you have extremely dry skin then i will suggest to start this in summer because I guess winter already drys so much , but again in summer the sun in stronger ..so please do choose to best suit your comfort your country , and practicality for your daily life like reapplying sun block every 2 hours !!! the most frustrating of all.Good luck all ! I really hope this will help you !

This soap may not be very large, but it delivers impressive results. It has a bright citrus fruity scent that smells amazing and feels refreshing during use. The vibrant orange color stands out, and the soap lathers up thickly and richly, providing a luxurious cleansing experience.After each use, my skin feels clean, smooth, and refreshed. With consistent use, I’ve noticed a healthy glow and a mild fading of dark spots. While the results are gradual, they’re definitely visible with daily use. Because the bars are small, I highly recommend buying more than just a few if you’re targeting hyperpigmentation or want to see more dramatic results.Overall, this soap works really well and is absolutely worth including in a brightening body care routine.

I am a fan of this soap. It works well for me, has a pleasant smell and lathers beautifully so you can minimize wastage. However it's sensitive to humidity and should not be kept close to the shower or heated damp areas it will melt away. I have seen positive results in as little as 2 weeks of consistent use. Highly recommend this particular brand as well. It exfoliates your skin leaving it smooth and soft to the touch. Ideal for aging skin. Remember to moisturize after using it. It's great value for money.

This Kojic Acid bar soap works wonderfully for evening out skin tone and reducing dark spots. After consistent use, my skin looks noticeably brighter, smoother, and healthier. It lathers well, rinses clean without leaving residue, and has a refreshing feel.The bar lasts a good while if kept dry between uses, and it doesn’t feel harsh on the skin compared to other brightening soaps. Definitely a great choice for anyone looking to improve their complexion naturally.

I had high hope when first purchasing this soap but I have not seen any improvement in skin tone. I learned that Kojic acid is clinically proven to be effective in brightening skin tone. However, after using this products for several months, I have yet to see any results, even small changes. My skin is the same. The imperfections has not changed. This looks like just a normal soap with Kojic acid but I believe the concentration is not high. It does do the job as a soap: cleaning skin. It doesn’t give me any negative skin reactions. It is easy to use. Overall, I give it 3-star for simply being a normal soap.
