Review: Seoul White Korea Double White Whitening Soap

Nowadays I don't often go to beauty stores as much as I did before however when I've visited Watsons a new brand called Seoul White caught my eyes. They seem fairly new and they only have a whitening cream and soap in their line as of the moment. Since I am on the lookout for a new body soap I gave in to Seoul White Korea Double White Whitening Soap.



What is it? 
Seoul White Korea Double White Whitening Soap saysnstant White. Kinis puti. K:
Discover a new level of healthy white that’s touchably-soft with Seoul White Double White Whitening Soap! This gentle bar combines the brightening powers of arbutin bearberry and tried-and-tested kojic acid to deliver long-term skin lightening. The precious white strawberry exfoliates the skin as you cleanse, letting you enjoy a double whitening effect minus the stinging sensation.

KEY BENEFITS:
Cleanses and moisturizes. The creamy lather draws out dirt and pollution, and gently exfoliates skin.
Gentle whitening. It lightens skin and minimizes the look of dark spots and acne marks while leaving skin touchably soft.

USAGE: Use daily on face and body. For best results, use with Seoul White Instant White Touch-Up Whitening Milky Cream

FULL SIZE:        60g/ 90g/ 60g Double Pack/ 90g Triple Pack        
PRICE:              PHP 39.00/ PHP 60.00/ PHP 65.00/ PHP 125.00

Packaging
The cute packaging got me. Its a blend of white and pink colors (perfect combination!~) with a pretty girl cartoon character. Its packed in threes but they also have single boxed soaps.

Experience
I bought this for the sweet scent and whitening promise. I like how they had each soap wrapped individually. I'be used it both on face and body. I didn't experience any micro peeling but when I've used my korean towel it removed a lot of dead skin cells! The scent also lingered long and my skin felt soft and fresh every time I use it.

My face is sensitive to soap products so at first I don't want to use it on my face. However after using it on the body and I felt that its not harsh nor too drying I've decided to give it a shot and see what will happen. I tried to use it for a week and it didn't broke me out. Actually unlike other whitening soaps, it dried out some of my pimples without making my face extra oily. There is no tightening nor tingling feeling unlike other whitening soaps. My face is also instantly radiant and brighter every after use. However just recently I broke out because of my monthly hormones so for a while I needed to take a break from everything that I am currently using.

How much and where to buy?
P125 for pack of 3 (90g) soaps with a sampler Whitening cream (for a limited time only!~)

What I love
  • Fruity sweet scent that lingers!
  • It doesn't melt easily
  • Dries up occasional pimples
  • No micropeeling so far
  • Non drying
  • Brightens up face after wash
  • Made skin smooth and soft 
  • Instantly whiter and radiant skin after wash
  • Didn't broke me out
  • Affordable
  • Accessible
What I don't

  • Nothing that I can mention

Will I repurchase? 
Yes! I use this interchageably with my Pax Moly Aloe Vera soap.

Overall~ 
I like how they formulated Seoul White Korea Double White Whitening Soap and I'll be stocking up because I just love love love the scent. The whitening effect is extra. I want to try their Seoul White Instant White touch Up Whitening Milky Cream next!

Review: PAX MOLY Aloe Vera Whitening Soap

Holer! Its another cold day today isn't it? That is why I am wearing a black and white turtle neck. Summer might have really left us and I still haven't had the chance to dip in the sea waters. Maybe next year then. However for guys and girls who basked in the heat of the sun I am sure you are looking for something to bring back your original skin tone. Today our review will be about my new favorite which is PAX MOLY Aloe Vera Whitening Soap

What is it? 


PAXMOLY Aloe Vera Whitening Soap
100g Net Wt.

Enriched with moisturizing and soothing botanical ingredients to soften and whiten skin. A luxurious soap with the fragrance of Aloe Vera deeply cleanses skin of dirt, leaving behind a refreshed, healthy looking complexion.

Packaging
Dark green colored box with gold ensembles. The soap inside is in paper packaging.



Experience
First of all even before opening the box you will smell the organic scent of the aloe vera soap. My mom says its somehow smells similar to grass. I want to compare it to green tea, in terms of being an woody-earthy type of scent (Hope I am making sense here! I am not so good at describing smell)

I use this soap on my face and body. It creates smooth type of foam and I like how it feels on my skin. Its a good combo with my Redlips makeup remover because it gets rid of the remnants of my eyeliner which often irritates my eyes. My face feels squeaky clean after washing, proven by almost clean cotton when I use Micellar Water.

A bonus is that there is an instant whitening effect. My skin is fair but I get a half shade lighter whenever I use Pax Moly Aloe Vera Soap. Inflamed pimples on my chin also became smaller after my first wash. My usual routine right now includes letting the aloe vera soap foam on my skin for at least 2 minutes or more. I get brighter, softer and healthy looking skin after.

How much and where to buy?
P150 for 100g soap available at Oh-some MNL's shop or shopee. One bar can last for a month with everyday use.

What I love
  • Foams and lathers well
  • Helps in removing makeup
  • The organic scent is very refreshing and I really like it
  • Refreshes skin
  • Cleanses without drying 
  • Did not break me out
  • Dried out my pimples almost instantly
  • Doesn't melt easily
  • Radiant skin every wash
  • Instant whitening effect with one wash
  • Affordable
What I don't
  • Not easily accessible for purchase offline
TIPS 
Let the foam stay on your skin for 2-3 minutes before washing with water to achieve the instant lighter skin effect.
Pax Moly Aloe Vera Soap doesn't have micro peeling effect so its best to use face towel, bath salt or loofah to scrub off dead skin cells.

Will I repurchase? 
YES. I am on my 3rd bar!

Overall~ 
With PAX MOLY Aloe Vera Whitening Soap getting brighter and softer skin is just one wash away. I like that its all natural and organic. However remember its still always 'hiyangan' pa din when it comes to skin care and removing pimples. I suggest that you try one bar and see if its for you. If you aim for better, brighter and even skin you may try this soap. In terms of lightening there is no need to wait long because the effect is instant.

Hope this review helps somehow in deciding if you should get this soap or not, stay beautiful! <3

Review: Block & White Ultima Whitening Soap

Ayo Sweeties!
Thank God its Sunday! I love weekends, too bad it only lasts for 2 days! Teehee.
So today is another whitening soap review. I can't help it. Haha. I think I need something to whiten spots I got from my skin allergy last time. I know how effective kojic soap is in whitening but I just can't use it because I get small bumps whenever I try. Plus it is too harsh for my face. After years of trying different products I came to realize that only gentle products should be used when it comes to face.

Looking at the soap racks I saw Block & White Ultima Whitening Soap. I remember how other gtalkers raved on the effectiveness of the B&W Ultima Lotion. I was sold on its claim that it whitens as early as 5 days. Who doesn't want fast results right?



What is it?
Block & White Ultima Whitening Soap is a Glutathione based soap that claims to give results in just 5 days.

Packaging
White with gold design box. Seems to be a box for a luxury soap for me!
At the back, you'll see more of its claims and ingredient list.I bought it for whitening but it also has anti-aging properties which is a bonus.


Experience
One thing worth noting is that it smells nice! I am not good at describing scent but it is something feminine. The soap does contain visible gentle exfoliating scrubs (no visuals!) I don't think it helps with anything unless you are going to hardly rub the soap into your skin?

Besides being said that the soap contains skin moisturizers, my skin still feels kinda tight after usage. I notice some glow as well which is something I like!

How much and where to buy?
I can't remember how much but it is less than a hundred for a box.

What I love 

  • The scent!
  • Affordable


What I don't 

  • Quite drying 
  • Did not whiten spots


TIPS 
If you have ultra sensitive skin, I do not recommend drying soaps for your face.

Will I repurchase? 
No. It is not effective for me.

Overall~
Block & White Ultima Whitening Soap is just an ordinary soap for me. It did not gave any whitening effect on my dark spots or complexion like promised. I'm still looking for other means to whiten my skin~

***
After finishing all of my bb cream tubes I am now I am looking for a new affordable BB cream to try :)

Definitely Japan. Definitely Kojie.san

Definitely Japan. Definitely Kojie.san.

Hey hey summer heat! Well I am still at work and I can definitely feel that it is summer even at night while I'm on my train ride back home (do they really turn off the LRT aircon during rush hours? It is so H-O-T!)
I bet most of you beauties are oh-so ready to jump in the beach waves, spend hours in the sand and under the heat of the sun. But that could lead to tan lines and/or sunburn, so never forget sunblock! However despite usage of such products, exposure to too much sun may still result to a darkened skin tone. Good thing, that problem is no biggie because there are whitening soaps in the market which can help you in bringing back your original skin tone.

My favorite whitening buddy? Kojic soap. I know that there are lots of unbranded kojic soaps in the market. I even encountered scrap kojic soaps in some mall stands. However when it comes to skincare it is important to use only the original kojic acid soap to ensure that you'll get results with every wash. Only the original kojic soap made by a reputable brand can give you peace of mind. By reputable, I can only think of one brand name: Kojie.san.

Kojie.san is the first kojic acid soap to be commercially available in the Philippine market. I can still remember Alodia Gosiengfiao as one of their first endorser (I really really like her!) I am actually one of the first buyers and users of Kojie.san and still a user! All I can say is they managed to really maintain the quality of products throughout the years. Hellamazing.

Simplicity is beauty. The white box with the image of a geisha on the side is eye catching. It is also economical to buy two soaps at a time.

Upon usage you will feel a tingling sensation (a sign that the product works!). It is quite drying (well expected because it is an acid soap), my skin feels a bit tight after using it. However dead skin sloughs off after a week of usage because Kojie.san has a micro peeling effect, which makes it a potent whitening product. However do not worry because it does not contain any harmful chemicals. It contains antioxidants and 100% all natural ingredients. I use Kojie.san not just for maintaining my skin tone but also for removing dark spots left by bug bites on my legs and arms. It is definitely working, the result is gradual but it gave me a glowing type of fairness plus an extra smooth skin too.

Definitely the bar that sets the bar.  Look at the improvement of my complexion. Yay~ :)
Kojie.san deserves an A++ rating!
