Review: Rosmar Kagayaku Bleaching Whipped Soap

Hola, it's the weekend! Pretty cool how it's now August, and then next month is already the start of Ber months? But did you know that I've only been to the beach like 2 weeks back? So yes, now I have these late summer tan lines and I can't wait to get my original skin tone back. To be honest, our review for today is about a whitening soap I've been using for a while now. I saw a friend get this and my mom kept on asking if it works because it was trending so I gave in. The newest addition to my stash right now is Rosmar Kagayaku Bleaching Whipped Soap.

What is it? 
Rosmar Kagayaku Bleaching Whipped Soap contains Glutathione, Collagen, and Alpha Arbutin

Benefits:
10x Instant Whitening Scar Remover 
[70g]

Cruelty-free
 FDA approved

How to use:
Use morning and night. Lather the soap and massage on the face/body. Leave for 2-3 minutes then rinse off with lukewarm water.

Packaging
The soap when bought in retail comes in plastic with a pink and white label in front. 

Experience
Rosmar Kagayaku Soap only comes in 70g. I think this is a good size for trying the product. It has a light vanilla scent, not overpowering. The soap lathers well and I followed their instructions to leave it on my skin for at least 2 minutes before rinsing. The soap, fortunately, doesn't have any side effects. It doesn't even sting which is typical for whitening and bleaching soaps I've tried.

However, the question is, does Rosmar Kagayaku Bleaching Whipped Soap whiten skin? As I've mentioned I have bizarre tan lines right now and after a week it has considerably lightened. Don't get me wrong here, I've been also using Rosmar soap prior to my beach getaway but I think lightening tan lines can be the ultimate test for it. I am thinking of posting a follow-up on my Instagram here, so make sure to follow me there so you're updated!

How much and where to buy it?
P49 each 70g. soap. They also have a box of 10 priced at P299.

What I love
  • Vanilla scent
  • Micro peeling effect
  • Doesn't sting
  • Doesn't melt easily
  • Affordable
What I don't
It'll be great to have a bigger version like 135g. 

Will I repurchase it? 
Yes!

Overall~ 
They say Rosmar Kagayaku Soap has fake versions, so it's best to stick to a reputable Shopee seller. Shops with any counterfeit product are a dead giveaway that their other items are fake too. I love this soap and if you are looking for a non-harsh product that is worth trying then Rosmar Kagayaku soap is for you. I'll update this post with photos soon!

What other products do you want me to review in the future? Have you followed me on Youtube and Facebook yet? See you in my next post!

Review: ActiveWhite Bleaching Soap Review

Wow Merry Christmas! Long time no update, yeah sorry I have been too focused on my on-the-job training. But it is all worth it, they've already asked me to become part of their company. *throws confetti*

Yay so a few updates, just been having a good time shopping and browsing online (Zalora, Eazyfashion, Sampleroom) since I have no time to stroll at the mall. I have also bought a 2nd hand phone from tipidcp.com (TIP: be extra cautious on how to deal with sellers, better transact with those who already have feedback). I bid goodbye to my old Myphone T23 Duo which has served me for three years. It is still working but I opt to upgrade to Myphone A888 for the sake of viewing better videos. Hooray! Now I enjoy playing with an Android game shared by my special someone: MyBoo, too bad that I can't update it over wifi due to an error. That was me, being all random again. So off to a review for today:

ActiveWhite Bleaching Soap Skin Whitener with Glutathione says: 
A great soap for dark and discolored skin. Target problem spots and combat hyperpigmentation with this special intense whitening soap that combines a bleaching formula with glutathione. Have smooth and fair skin that glows.

Ingredients: Coconut oil, Caustic Soda, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Silictae, Castor Oil, Cocomide DEA, Scent, Alpha Hyoroxyl Acid, Milk Extract, Phenoxythanol, L-Glutathione, Beta Arbutin, De-Ionized Water

I was checking out the available whitening soaps in Watsons and oh-well my mind was going in circles when I landed on a decision to purchase Active White Bleaching Soap. Did I made a right decision? Read on to find out.

Seriously, you can't get much info from the website of ActiveWhite here. Based from my research they have just changed their packaging, what I have posted above is the latest since it was just manufactured fresh from this month, Dec 2013 and expiration is far on Dec 2015. The old packaging indicates that it contains L-glutathione which is the selling point of the product. There are not much reviews on the web for ActiveWhite, I already bought the product even before I've read details about it.  I was just brave enough to venture out on using a product I was unfamiliar with.

The look:
I find the marbled look of this soap interesting. (Photo above) I don't know if they have this is other sizes but they currently offer three variants. All of them has the same ingredients except for their special content which differs them from each other: Beta carotene (Blue box - ActiveWhite Bleaching Soap), Rosehip (Orange box - ActiveWhite Rosehip Soap), Plain Glutathione (ActiveWhite Pink box - Glutathione Soap).

The scent:
It has a really faint scent which can be next to nothing. It is perfectly okay with me though, I do prefer unscented beauty products.

The experience:

At first I thought ActiveWhite Bleaching Soap is moisturizing because it is bubbly and it doesn't sting during the first 3 days that I have used it. Truth has to be revealed though, it is still a bleaching soap. I just suddenly experienced itchiness while I was in the office. I found my skin to have some bumps due to dryness, yikes! My skin showed the same reaction when I used bleaching lotion from BCP before. I can't help but become worried if I should continue or stop the usage of the product. My skin was next to being okay before I have used this soap and I kinda regret using it. Within 7 days my skin was micropeeling. Of course just like any bleaching product, skin became a bit darker than its normal color and somehow glossy (sign that skin will peel). It is continuously micro peeling but after a week, I felt like my skin has adjusted to the product. I refrain from using lotion though because I don't think it is fine to use two products at a time. I only apply hydrocortisone cream when my skin is itchy, err... sometimes Katinko because I like it as an itch-reliever too.


The price: 
Php 89/ 135g soap

What I love:

  • It lathers well
  • Exfoliated my skin

What I don't:

  • Highly drying
  • Bad reaction of my skin to the soap
  • Cannot use lotion, other products etc
  • Melts fast. Two weeks for a 135 g product.

Will I repurchase?
No. I don't want to risk myself on another skin reaction. ActiveWhite Bleaching Soap is not for me, would not try the other variants lol. I might just purchase real moisturizing soaps next time instead. Boohoo for this misfortune. T^T

Overall~
Did I whiten? It melted even before I can make a valid conclusion, however since my skin is already well-exfoliated then I think whitening products will be more effective.

ActiveWhite  Bleaching Soap is not for me. But what doesn't work on me does not mean won't work on you, and vice versa. Always remember to stop usage if you experienced severe dryness/rashes.
