5.0 out of 5 stars my miracle August 21, 2009

I have had acne/ post acne scars (PIH) for so long I can't even remember myself without it. I am African-American but my complexion is very fair and so everything shows. It's like pimples and scars on parade. I know you may hear it all the time but I have tried it all. I have done micro-dermabrasions, clinical dermabrasion with medical intervention, skin peels, hydroquinone, birth control pills, proactive, neutrogena, noxema, retinol A and even combining a couple of these treatments. A few work but very slowly and trust me, after a while these all get really expensive.
When I saw all the reviews on this product, I figure how much damage can it do. Plus it was cheaper than my other attempts so I gave it a try. It has cleared most of my scarring and it has only been three weeks. I am just ecstatic!! I have been receiving compliments about my skin from everyone. It is amazing, I can't walk by a mirror without wanting to look at my face. Now I can go without painting my face with tons of concealer and foundation.
Overall this was a good buy and shipment was fast. My one pointer is to get a good moisturizer- maybe one with some sunscreen- because it has a drying effect to your skin. That was the only glitch. Everything else was wonderful.

5.0 out of 5 stars This does work, but not as you would think... February 23, 2011

I used this soap when I discovered that I had an intense farmer's tan...like...terrible. Forearms a nice brown like chocolate, but biceps (if you could even call them that...ahem...) a nice yellow...two nice skin tones clashed together to make one ugly complexion. I bought this soap hoping to even myself out. After the first use, I noticed the water had turned gray as I was rinsing off (gross I know), which told me that it helped to strip off a bunch of dead skin. I'm a guy and tend not to think about sunscreen, exfoliation, moisturizing, etc. I'm naturally a yellowy color (I'm half Caucasian), but thanks to my Filipino genes, I can get pretty dark. So I think that this soap works mainly for people who are naturally lighter, but have darkened due to sun damage, dead skin build up, etc. An easy way to tell is to look in a place where literally, "the sun don't shine." Take a look at your scalp under your hair, and that'll give you a ballpark estimate of what color you are. This soap probably won't get you back to that color, but it'll lighten you up.

I personally noticed an overall brighter complexion after a week, but not necessarily a skin color change. My skin color started getting lighter once fall started and I wasn't outside as much. I usually can hold a tan through the winter, but with this soap, that's not true anymore since it exfoliates off the skin that has been tanned. I have been using this soap since August 2010, and it's now February 2011, and I am so light compared to the color that I usually am. This soap is more of an exfoliating soap, so in order to actually lighten, you'll need to keep a sunscreen on your skin to shield the sun from making your melanocytes too active (of course this isn't going to decrease the melanin production naturally present as hydroquinone would, but that's a different review!). Give it around 4-6 weeks to see a difference, because that's how long it takes for your skin to be completely regenerated.

I should also mention that you'll need a good moisturizer for this soap cuz if you don't use one, you'll dry out like a prune. This worked for my acne too. Thank God...those drug store acne kits just seemed to make me more oily.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful!!!!!! December 1, 2008

By z -mac

this product is the first skin care lightening soap that I have used that lived up to my expectations. I have tried them all from deep depilatories, makari skin care products, you name it. My skin had a lot of hyperpigmentation due to acne scarring, and I am pleased to say that the Likas soap evened out all these areas, as well as took care of the dark areas around my elbows and knees. Thanks for making this product, I LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!!!
