Benefits:
Skin Lightening and Brightening: The active ingredient, Kojic Acid, inhibits the production of melanin responsible for skin pigmentation, effectively helping to lighten dark spots, marks, and other discoloration.
Reduces Hyperpigmentation: It is effective in visibly reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation, age spots, freckles, melasma, and scars resulting from pimples and wounds.
Evens Skin Tone: Contributes to achieving a uniform and brighter skin tone.
Cleansing and Exfoliating: It cleanses the skin and provides gentle exfoliating properties, helping to purify pores and reduce the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads.
Moisturizing and Soothing: Contains moisturizing ingredients like Coconut Oil and Glycerin to nourish the skin, protect it from dryness, and soothe irritated skin.
Antioxidant Properties: The natural ingredients, including Kojic Acid and Tea Tree Oil, act as antioxidants, helping to protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals.
Acne Treatment: Its antiseptic properties and Tea Tree Oil can help to treat acne and reduce inflammation.
How to Use (Face and Body):
Wet Skin: Wet the face or preferred treatment areas with warm water to help open the pores.
Lather: Rub the soap between your hands until a thick lather forms.
Apply: Massage the lather gently onto the skin in circular motions, avoiding the eye and lip area.
Treatment Time (Crucial Step): Let the lather sit on the skin for up to 30 seconds before washing it off. This is important for allowing the active ingredients to work.
Rinse: Rinse the area well with lukewarm water to completely remove any trace of soap.
Frequency and Tolerance: Start by using the soap once per day. If your skin tolerates it with no reactions, you may increase use to twice per day.
Moisturize: Use a moisturizer suitable for your skin type immediately after use, especially if any dryness occurs.
Sun Protection (Critical): Always follow use with an SPF product or sunscreen, as skin lightening products can make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
Patch Test: Highly recommended to perform a spot test on a small area of skin for up to 30 seconds before full use to check for sensitivity (rash, burning, tingling, or inflammation). Discontinue use immediately if adverse reactions occur.
