Pure Kojic Acid Soap Bar for Hyperpigmentation and Dark Spots - Dark Spot Remover for Face and Body - For Women with Medium to Dark Skin - Original, Natural & Fragrance Free - 5.3 oz by Marie France

Light skinned sista with sensitive skin using this soap to resolve very very dark and stubborn self-diagnosed upper lip melasma. Still on the first bar, and seeing AMAZING results. I began seeing small but noticeable results the first couple of weeks. Results are faster, now with more frequent use. Melasma is breaking up big time!!!. Here's what worked for me:1. First 3 weeks: Use every 4 days: 20 seconds (face), 60 seconds (body)2. 2 weeks: Use every 3 days3. 2 weeks: every 2 days*4: 2 weeks: every 2 days: increase time on face/body 30 sec./90 sec.5. 2 weeks: increase time on skin.* step currently onAdverse effects:Mild contact dermatitis (bumps). Applied anti-itch cream (2-3x/day). Bumps quickly resolved withoutleaving marks. No bumps after week 1 on current routine (*)Initially, skin itches a bit during initial and increased usage. Applying more moisturizer helps throughout the day helps. The itchiness dissipates over time.I have sensitive skin, thus, I did not use the soap as per manufacturer's instruction for initial use. I have to be VERY cautious when using new skin products. Because I did not want to have a bad breakout or irritation that I would have to try to correct- which we know takes weeks! Therefore, I used a very conservative regimen to observe how my skin reacted. I think that's why my contact dermatitis was very mild.I am also using Hadalabo Milk and The Ordinary's Niacinamide and Alpha Arbutin and Puress's Tranexamic Acid serums on my face. These combined were giving me slow but noticable results. Sunscreen as well! (Supergoop). I receive lots of compliments on my skin. But the melasma was just, UGH! Then I discovered this soap. The results thus far, are amazing. Will continue using on face and body for consistency.Thank You!!

Note, my skin is used to harsher treatments. For example, I use glycolic acid, so I don't have very sensitive skin to begin with. I have fair skin and am Asian if it makes a difference. What works for me may not necessarily work for you, so proceed with caution!I had some hormonal acne that led to dark spots on my chin area under my mouth. My spots were recent (about a week old) so I immediately bought this soap to try it out to see if I could lighten them early on. I had already been using tranexamic acid, retinal creams and salicylic cleansers daily to treat my acne spots so my spots were already lightening a bit but not as fast as desired. I used less products a day before in prep of using this kojic soap.On the day of using this soap, I did as directed and wet my face before apply the soap on the area, leaving it on for a few seconds then washing with cold water. I did it a second time on the same day after seeing I didn't feel any adverse effects. As you can see from my pic, it looks a little red from irritation after washing off the soap but nothing that moisturizer couldn't fix for me. I do think it's working a bit (not as dark as before) but given all the products I had already been using days before, I can't tell if the lightening is due to this or my routine. But at least I can say I haven't experienced any chemical burns and have seen a slight difference from before using the soap where I'll be adding this to my arsenal of skincare products if I ever need a quick dark spot fix from acne.
