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 - 5 Pack

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 & cheeksHope my review helps but definitely a good buy!

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This soap smells so wonderful! It has a unique, spice smell that's very clean, but its affect on the face is equally amazing. I use this as part of my skincare routine in place of a water based cleansed (after oil based cleanser). It makes your face feel instantly firmer and squeaky clean. I would definitely recommend using a good face moisturizer after if you have dry skin like I do, because it may cause your skin to be dry, but as part of a good skincare routine it cleanses great for an economical price. It hasn't been long enough but I feel with how much this helps exfoliate my skin, my dark spots will definitely lighten. Your skin feels silky afterwards for hours.

My product was delivered to me on June 1st, and I've been using it since it arrived, every time I shower. I only use it on my face, although the product does say you can use it on the rest of your body. I bought this to help with the hyperpigmentation around my mouth. In the 25 days I've been using it, it has helped. The dark areas around my mouth have lightened, and if you're like me and want to use it for facial hyperpigmentation, also wear sunscreen when you go out, because the sun can darken your hyperpigmentation. The product has also helped with the redness I have on my face, on my cheeks. I didn't buy it for that, but that's just an added benefit. It has also made my skin softer. Around the time I'm writing this (June 26), my face slightly burns when I use the soap; it didn't at first, but it has started to. I am assuming it's from the daily use, so I will be using it every other day. Other than that I recommend it, the soap works and the package came intact and with both soaps.

This product is outstanding! I have been using expensive products and tried this out and wow!!! My face tone lightened from the hormones building up over the years and my freckles all softened into smaller dots versus splotches. I saw where is was from and wanted to try different skin care technique. I didn’t need a fancy cream, just consistent use of soap!! I am so grateful for this and sharing with my family and friends. I took before and after pics to show the difference in my skin.
