What I notice about this product in comparison to Lancome skin care products I have used consistently for the past 2 decades. After the 3rd use I can notice the change. The best way to use this, lather and put on your skin, face, neck, hands, ect... let it stay on for 2-5 minutes than gently remove with water leaving a light residue of the product on the skin. Now in my opinion this is the important part. With a light layer of the product left of the face, using your fingers rub up/down & circular motion on your skin like your rolling off dead skin. This is the top layer of the dead cells that causes wrinkles, sunspots, dark spots, dryness. Again, when I initially rinse the product, I leave a light layer of product on my skin to make it easier to rub & exfoliate the top dead cells on my face, neck, hands( I also used it on my elbows, knees & armpits, 4 bars for $20 is a great deal & I'm willing to buy more since I had awesome results). What I learned about skincare as I get older especially on my face. It's constantly being exposed to environmental elements, sun damage, make-up, my pillow, hard water. By exfoliating my face once a week with a good moisturizer( I used Lancome Absolue Rich or Soft Cream $280 or coconut oil. Dont use a moisturizer with alcohol or Parfums cause it will irritate your skin). It's important to moisturize afterwards cause this product just removed dead cell skin & moisturizer is key! At 45 my skin looks amazing but I had these light sunspots and dry dead skin that causes aging. Not super noticeable but noticeable to me on my cheek bone area and around my eyes. I not only focus on my face but my entire body especially the neck and hands cause those are the areas women tend to neglect and are aging giveaways with sunspots, wrinkles. Also I'd recommend doing this at night before bed to allow your skin to heal vs. going out in the elements wind, sun, humidity and exposing your newly clean sensitive skin to damage causing activities. Again my opinion simply because this bar soap removed the top layer of skin leaving the underlaying of skin, the soft, sumple, fresh layer of skin that gives you the glow & youthfulness we all want.Also I know this is weird but don't do it around your menstrual period time. Why? As a women our hormones are crazy and I know I break out around my chin area. You definitely don't want to irritate your skin while your hormones aka acne period are the cause for a short time of the month. This can cause bacteria around your pimples, break & scratch the skin, leaving scars or marks. Again my own opinion but it works for me cause my hormones cause me to have acne plus I have Lupus and I get butterfly like rash on my face over my nose bridge & cheeksHope my review helps but definitely a good buy!

I’ve tried quite a few dark spot removers over the years, but the VALITIC Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover is one of the few that actually made a noticeable difference — and quickly. Within the first two weeks, I saw my darker acne scars and sun spots starting to fade, and now a month in, they’re barely visible.The formula feels smooth and lightweight, with no harsh burning or dryness. I used it consistently at night and followed up with SPF during the day, as kojic acid can make skin more sensitive to the sun. No irritation at all — just gradual, even improvement in tone and texture.A little goes a long way, and the results are real. If you’re dealing with hyperpigmentation, acne scars, or melasma, this is definitely worth trying. I’m genuinely impressed.

So I was going to wait a lil bit before writing a review but I’ve had I’ll go ahead and write one now and another down the line after some more use. I’ve been using this twice a day for about a week now so I haven’t had any major changes or fading yet but I do want to say that I love the way it makes me feel, it leaves my skin soft and just a very clean feeling. I’m a makeup girl and I use makeup remover and this after and it gets all the left over makeup off with no problem! It doesn’t dry out my skin or anything and I feel like it has already given my skin a healthy glow to it, nothing dramatic so far but I do enjoy it and although I don’t expect drastic life changing effects I do believe that it will improve my skins texture and uneven tone after some time using it. I suffered from hormonal acne for many many years leaving scars and uneven skin tone, I have a lot of dark spots so we shall see how it goes.. I will update in a few months, but so far so good, I really like this product and even if it doesn’t wow me with results on skin tone I’ll buy it again.. I just love how clean it makes my skin feel!

It took about two weeks of washing my face twice a day to start seeing results. This is my second time buying and I highly recommend it. It has helped tremendously with the pigmentation on my underarms and helped clear up acne on my face, helped clear up dark acne scars as well as leaving my face softer. I do recommend starting off slow just to see how your skin reactsi I started with one wash every other day with the soap. it can feel leave a dry feeling at first so make sure your moisturize. The bar has a very clean smell to it and works great yea two thumbs up!
