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 they gave you good or bad results or just didn't work at all

I love

Likas Green Papaya soap

&

I'm waiting on Makari soap

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.

That's pretty darn cheap! Amazon is awesome to shop u just got to be careful not buy up too many product its like eeny mynee moe which to use each day!

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. LOL

I have the Likas soap too, I think I'll start actually using it.

I actually adore the Fair and White AHA exfoliating soap. It exfoliates extremely well but its too damn expensive at $10 a bar. IT left a lot of dead skin cells on the bottom of my tub though

I love that soap too but are u suppose to you it everyday?Cuz when I did that I thought that I was just getting lighter but when I went to Macy's to try and get help with concealing the left over effects bio Claire left me... well anyway the makeup lady said that my skin was stripped raw She asked me what did I use that did this?. Of course I played dumb but that was embarrassing

Yeh I used it everyday on my main body and I used it like every few days on my face, but the face is more sensitive than the body. I never had my body exfoliated to the point of rawness, but I too was using Bio Claire at the same I was using the AHA soap and I can tell you that the Bio Claire was probably the culprit for making your skin raw in combination with the Fair and White soap; Bio Claire thinned the skin on my neck to the point where each time I scrubbed my neck my neck would hurt and get random bruises, and the soap probably made it worse because you were exfoliating thin skin. Hope that makes sense Red.

The Kojic Acid soap I purchased from an eBay seller filipinagoddess is very good for exfoliation.

That soap was strong! Had to back off because it made my face sore and I used it in the shower and I am never going to use it on my private parts again.:o OUCH! It made my va jay jay hurt. Lol

It would make a great soap for exfoliating the skin on the body for sure.

I agree, I think it was the bio claire that had thinned your skin only made it more difficult when it came time to exfoliate since the skin is now thinned, and instead cause damage. Soaps that are mostly papaya or kojic will also exfoliate and sting for a while, but also lighten a bit too. DS does also have milder soaps, I tried the glutathione soap and it didn't do much for me as for lightening and I had used it for about 2 months 2x a day. I prefer papaya/kojic.

lmao.. the va jay jay and kojic don't mix, I learned that the first try and never again!

Lol thanks everyone... is it just me or did it seem as if the Bio Claire oil made things even worst?I had headaches constantly and felt nausea whenever I would add the cream and oil to my face! I wish I knew how dangerous Bio Claire was because if I did before hand I would have never had tried it.What made me try it was all of the great stuff I saw people say about it on here.That's why now since I became part of this forum I remind myself to not start really talking about something good until I have used the product for at least a month or two. I finished everything I ordered my skin broke out really bad!It was so bad I didn't even want to go outside and in the end it made me still look lighter then when I started but my skin is now even more blotchy and it kind of looks rough and aged and I am only 18! So I been using this body scrub that I got from Bath&Body and now at least my skin doesn't look aged but it still looks dull and now its very uneven.

Have you tried a peel or maybe a lemon toner for the dullness? Also tretinoin helps get new skin to the surface, and taking Vitamin C and Fish Oil will help get your glow back. You just have to be REALLY CONSISTENT with the vitamins so you can see the effects and don't get lazy, because God knows I get lazy with my vitamins

I agree with Newday, adding those to your regemin and staying consistent would bring your youthful glow back again. That's sad that BC was giving you those kind of side effects Red. Who knows if I had headache and nausea but didn't realize it could have been coming from BC all along?

Thanks everyone I will try the fish oil vitamins(even though I am a vegetarian) and I will get some tretinoin... but I have eczema and very sensitive skin so what percentage of tretinoin should I ourchass? It won't peel me too bad because I just got a full time job in order to help my mom out and when I go to work I don't want my new co workers looking at me weird... I mean I can deal with them looking at me weird once I get lighter and achieve my dream complexion but I can't handle walking around them with peeling skin all over
