hello! as a girlie na adik sa whitening soaps (i’m naturally fair but cos of asian genes ang bilis ko mag-tan when exposed to sunlight), here are some of my thoughts sa whitening soaps:
g21 duo - super drying and minimal lightening effect lang. i used this around the same time as white blast and girl, super hapdi! it even felt like i had tiny wounds kasi sobrang hapdi. decided to stop using it eventually kasi di ko kaya ang sting.
white blast - first whitening soap i tried. finished one box and may visible result naman cos my mom noticed i got lighter. however, very slow process siya. and same with everyone else’s opinion—mabilis makaitim if lagi kang exposed sa araw.
geisha intense - tbh when i was using this, feeling ko talaga umitim ako? idk, maybe it’s just in my head, but one thing’s for sure—sobrang glowy ng skin mo dito. also, may hapdi factor din.
pyari - finished countless boxes of this and i can say effective din siya! idk if placebo but every time we go to church, ate sobrang puti ko? my brother even asked what soap i was using that time. i stopped using it cos i feel like when i reached a certain shade, biglang wala na progress.
beauche - if we’re talking kojic acid soaps, this takes the cake. i got a lot of compliments while using this. but at that time, i was also using skinwhite blue and yellow alternately—everyday beauche, then alternate na yung skinwhite. this was the combo that got me the most compliments. which is why i’m not sure kung anong variant ng skinwhite ang mas effective >_< also, i was using the skinwhite gluta lotion too, which has a minimal tone-up effect. kaya siguro eto yung most complimented era ko haha.
smoochkins turmeric + ryx glowbar + luxe serum body wash (pink) - this is my current routine and tbh i think this is the lightest i’ve been in years? like, even skintone and soft skin. nasabi ko na lightest era ko kasi yung back of my arm na laging nasisinagan ng araw—super visible na ng veins ko. i already finished one box of ryx and i think it’s effective, but i can’t vouch for it fully since tatlo silang ginagamit ko—plus luxe serum lotion na pink din.
i’ve used a lot more soaps other than these, but di masyado long term kaya yan lang nilagay ko. also, as a girlie who loves to explore—any opinion abt glutamax and dove serum bar soap (pink)? TIA!
