KOJIE.SAN SOAP is considered as one of the leading WHITENING soap in the Philippines. It claims to effectively whitens and smoothens your skin in a short period of time.
At first, I'm quite hesitant to use a soap bar to wash my face. I've never ever tried using a soap to wash my face except for the Acne Aid since it is considered as a medical soap. I came into a point that I'm so desperate as NO facial wash was able to cure/heal my pimple/acne.So i though why not give it a try since its NOT that expensive at all. I've tried expensive facial wash before such as Shiseido Foaming Wash,
it does works on preventing pimples but it is still way too high-end for lil' old me.
So back to Kojie.San soap bar, there are two types of Kojie.San soap:
1)Kojie.san DREAM WHITE (anti-aging soap)
Kojie.san Dream White anti-aging soap contains the most effective ingredients to help skin get its youthful glow, kojic acid, collagen, elastin, and vitamin C from fruit extracts.
Kojic acid, the trademark ingredient of every Beauty Elements product, helps lighten pigment spots and skin discoloration. Kojie.san Dream White have consistently demonstrated protective effects against skin damage from UV

My REVIEW:
Pros:
1)Not easy to melt and would definitely last long
2) Nice Vanilla scent thoud could calm your skin
3) I personally like Vanilla White(color) so I considered as Pros (hehe)
4) Works well on pimple/acne marks, gently and slowly heals acne/pimple
5) Very effective for oily skin, it keeps your skin smooth
6) Although it gently dries up the acnes but it DOES NOT peel your skin
7) Available in all supermarkets/ drugstore
8) Affordable
Cons:
1) Soap Bar (would make some people quite hesitant to try it)
2) Not commercialize well
3) Even though the soap claims that it could whiten your skin, but I don't see any whitening effect. (although I'm quite after the healing of pimples rather than whitening *^-^*)
Overall, I'll give it a 4/5 because it really lessen my pimple/acne marks and control my skin from producing too much OIL.
2)Kojie.San Sking Lightening Soap
Kojic Acid is a by-product in the fermentation process of malting rice ('malted rice') for use in the manufacture of sake, the Japanese rice wine.
* Kojic Acid is an all natural (non-synthetic) product. It is the basic ingredient of Kojie-san Skin Lightening Soap.
* A more recent remedy for the treatment of pigment problems and age spots. Discovered in 1989, kojic acid has similar effect as hydroquinone. Studies have shown that it is effective as lightening agent, inhibiting production of melanin (brown pigment).
* Events out skin tone
* Erases dark spots and blotches from melasma and other forms of pigmentations.
* Best for treatment of age spots

It also fades discolorations and hyperpigmentations of the skin such as age spots, liver spots, freckles or skin pigmentation that may occur from exposure to the sun, during pregnancy, or from the use of oral contaceptives (such as melasma).

My REVIEW:
Pros:
1)Smoothens and Lighten skin color
2) Although it gently dries up the acnes but it DOES NOT peel your skin
3) Available in all supermarkets/ drugstore
4) Affordable
Cons:
1) Easy to melt, wouldn't last long
2) Yellow-orange color which might stain
3) Soap Bar (would make some people quite hesitant to try it)
4) Not commercialize well
Overall, I still prefer the Dream White compare to this because it worked faster on acne /pimple marks, smells better and would last longer. So 3/5 is the rating.
Notice anything? the two products ARE NOT specifically designed to treat acne/pimples. It just claims to lighten and whitens skin, but for me it works well on oily skin and does effectively heal acne/pimple marks.
I've read on some blog reviews whereas the ingredients on Dream White is stronger than the Skin Lightening soap and would cause peeling. But for me, if you are really OILY skin then skip the Skin Lightening soap and use Dream White ahead cuz' it suits better. I have oily skin but my skin is really thin(would see veins and all that purple/green lines) still I don't experience any peeling or allergy while using Kojie.san
If you guys are so madly desperate to heal your acne/pimple marks, then why not give it a try. There ain't nothing to lose and it's not expensive either. So give it a shot, you might see wonders. But remember, if you experience any discomfort please STOP/refrain from using it again.
