kojic acid soap or likas papaya soap? - soompi hangout

eat healthy foods, thats the secret!

even if you put the most expensive soap but you eat junkfoods

a lot then its no use.

Actually skin pigmentation has to do with melanin production which "eatting healthier" doesn't really solve anything or answer the OP's question...

Anyways, I've been using Likas soap for the last month and I've turned about a shade or two lighter. Both the likas and kojic are just weak acid exfoliaters so they really only remove the top layer of the epidermis which takes time.

For actual whitening of the skin, you'd need something which contains hydroquinone which stops the production of melanin. It's strong stuff though and is linked to skin cancers (lack of melanin = lack of protection from UV rays). I think you can get 3% hydroquinone off of shelves but anything stronger requires a prescription.
