In this post, I’ll be reviewing one of the most popular soaps- Kojie San Soap. But before I start I want you to take note of two things;

1. it’s impossible for me to use every soap that comes my way therefore this post may seems to focus more on people’s review
2. we all have different skin type therefore what works for others may not work for you and vice versa

Having said that let’s get started! To start with, what is koji san soap?

Kojie san soap is a skin lighmetening soap mainly for hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Just like k-brothers soap, nano soap and other facial soaps it gently exfoliates the skin when applied to give you clear, smooth, soft and healthy skin with an even skin complexion. Koji san soap is made mainly from kojic acid, a by-product from the fermentation of soy sauce, rice wine or miso.

Kojic acid is a chemical produced from different types of fungi. Kojic acid is used in beauty products to lighten the skin. It may be used to treat skin conditions, such as sun damage, scars, and age spots.

The science behind how kojic acid works as a lightening agent involves its effect on melanin production. Melanin is a naturally occurring pigment in the body that gives the eyes, hair, and skin their colour. An amino acid called tyrosine is needed to support the production of melanin. So, Kojic acid works by blocking tyrosine from forming, which then prevents melanin production. Decreased melanin production may have a lightening effect on the skin.

Over the years kojie san soap has been one of the most used facial soaps by both men and women of different nationalities despite that it is made in the Philippines. In fact, it has done a lot of wonders within the soap industry, take for example the review we got from Sandra who is from the Philippines- “I used it every 3 days on my face. Leave it on my face for a few minutes. Within about 4 months you can see my melasma fade. It’s an awesome product”

Or the one from Ricky Isaac “This is my best go-to! It honestly change my skincare to the best”. But is that really it? Before we continue, I want you to quickly go through its ingredients.

Coconut Oil: An antioxidant expelled from the fruit of the coconut, coconut oil has moisturizing properties, as well as a natural emollient. Excellent at removing waxy or inky eyeliner and mascara. Coconut oil is widely used as a natural moisturizer and works synergistically with Kojic Acid to gently brighten skin and tea tree oil to leave your skin feeling fresh.
