Creams and lotions are one thing ,but I am kind of having a hard time finding a good strong and effective skin lightening soap.Any suggestions will be great!! I am sure that a lot of people will want to know which soaps are the best!!!! So feel free to let everyone know which soaps you have tried and whether or not they gave you good or bad results or just didn't work at all

papaya soap is really good. Likas papaya soap or diana stalder papaya kojic soap. They will exfoliate your skin very well and sting for the first few days, but this will fade with continued use.

Never tried Diana, I might have seen a price and thought it was too $ for a bar of soap, I'm cheap. Where u got yours?

I got mine from a couple of Ebay sellers around $7 plus s&h last year. I would stretch it to last about 3 months since it was easy to cut but yes it is too pricey for soap. Next time I am planning to try the Likas papaya off Amazon since I heard so many good things about it and it cost less.

One soap at a time is good for me.

Sometime I have 3 different soap on shower rack. I need to stop that habit!

The reason why I was thinking of having an exfoliating soap and a lightening soap is because my skin is the type that can't handle getting exfoliated everyday.I already used the Fair & White AHA soap and I used to use that everyday until it exfoliated me to the core.I had to let my skin cells regenerate after that because my skin felt and looked raw. So I was thinking that I want a good soap that just lightens that I can use everday and just use the exfoliating soap a couple times per week.Now I heard different people mention the Diana Stalder papaya kojic acid soap but the only problem with that is I am currently looking for a soap that only lightens but I might try using that DS soap as my new exfoliating soap.But anyway I have been searching for a soap that is made only of pure kojic acid.I haven't found anything like that but I have seen soaps like that on eBay but I am kind of hesitant about trying any of those soaps sold by people on eBay because I heard that they can either be fake or very dangerous.So....any thoughts?

I know that having a soap just for exfoliating and a soap just for lightening may seem ridiculous to some but some people like me for instance can't really exfoliate a lot.My mom said that I have thin skin like my father.I hope that is not true but I do have a weird complexion like his,I get these dam freckles like him but I only have like 2 but I am worried because everyone on his side of the family gets more freckles as they get older which appear almost anywhere!And I don't know if it is just me but it seems as if I get a new freckle in a new place every 1- 3 years.
