KOJIE•SAN Skin Lightening Series [review]

Hello guys! Thanks to Kojiesan Indonesia for sending me this hampers and sorry for delayed reviews >_< Lately I got a lot of skin care products on my hand and testing them one by one really takes time, patience and effort. Hopefully I can present the rest of reviews to you as soon as possible.

Kojiesan products has became a hot topic a while ago and who still doesn't know that Kojiesan is a Filipino brand, and not a Japanese brand? I thought it's a Japanese brand :p :p LOL

Yup, Kojie San is manfucatured in Philippines and brought to you by PT. UICCP Indonesia.

Since I got several products here, I shared some of them to my brother because his skin literally needs some improvement =D I shared the Lightening Series to him and I keep the Dream White series for myself. I will review the whole series of Kojiesan Lightening products first, on this post.

KOJIESAN SKIN LIGHTENING SOAP

---

Packaging

Skin Lightening Soap from Kojie San is packaged in a orange bar soap. You can't find "face" term at its name because this soap can be used for face and body. The bar soap itself is wrapped, inside the box. Hummm.. I have no problem if this soap is used for body, but I personally don't like to use facial foam in bar soap form (I prefer pump packaging, because its more hygienic :D)

Descriptions

The Kojic Acid you've always trusted, the one prescribed by your dermatologist is now available in Kojiesan Skin Lightening Soap. Kojiesan contains high grade cosmetic all-natural Kojic Acid that helps prevent melanin production making skin lighter and clearer. Kojiesan Skin Lightening Soap is effective in diminishing dark spots, freckles and acne, stretch marcks, uneven skin tone and othe skin tone disorders.

Kojic Acid was discovered in Japan, it is a by product of Koji or Malted Rice used in the production of rice wine. In cosmetics, kojic acid is popularly known for its remarkable whitening effect and antioxidant properties. Content / isi: 65gr

Sabun dengan formula Kojic Acid untuk membersihkan kulit wajah dan tubuh. Gunakan Kojie San Kojic Acid Soap setiap kali mandi, bilas dengan air hingga bersih

Ingredients

Pure Kojic Acid, Sweet Orange, VCO, Glycerine, Vegetable Extracts, Vitamin C

Directions / How to use

For daily use on face and body. For optimum result, use sunscreen with high SPF after bathing. TIPS: First of all, cut your bar soap into few pieces. Place one piece at bar soap container and keep others in other place. I don't recommend you to use the whole bar at once, because it can easily melt-off if it gets damped for a long time. Remember to choose bar soap container that has good air circulation :)

TIPS dalam memakai sabun batang Kojie san:

1.  Potong sabun dalam beberapa bagian. Kenapa? Karena sabun ini mudah meleleh dan sebaiknya digunakan dalam potongan kecil agar tidak terlalu "benyek"

2. Ambil satu potong sabun (dan simpan sisanya), pakai hingga habis sebelum menggunakan potongan sabun berikutnya.

3. Pilihh tempat sabun yang memiliki sirkulasi udara yang baik.

Scent & Impression

It has fresh relaxing citrus scent. It can't produces abundant foam, unless you use a foam net :) My brother said that he prefer uses this soap for his body because his face will feels slippery and there's no squeaky feeling after rinse-off (hence, he prefer his usual facial foam that contains SLS).
Nevertheless, he doesn't really often use this soap for his body either, because again.. he doesn't like the slippery feeling afterwards, while I think otherwise. *oh boy, I know I can't put higher expectation for men to do their skin care routine diligently. LOL* -__-

Overall Thoughts

As my brother said that he barely uses this soap due to its less-practical aspect, I can't make a definite conclusion about this Skin Lightening Soap T_T Well, we have different opinion here, I don't encounter any slippery feeling during application. Though it doesn't works well on my brother's skin, some of my friends testified that this soap actually worked well to increase their skin tone level.

Karena adikku jarang pake sabun ini karena aspek kurang praktisnya, aku ngga bisa kasih kesimpulan pasti tentang Skin Lightening Soap ini T_T Padahl menurutku sih ngga ada efek licin sehabis saat pembilasan, tapi adikku kok bilang kayak gitu ya -_-a 

Yahh.. meskipun sabun ini ngga ngefek di adikku, beberapa teman bilang kalau sabun ini sebenarnya berhasil menaikkan tingkat kecerahan pada kulit mereka.

The packaging of their Face Lightening Cream is quite simple. Both box and jar are dominated with white color, and it also comes with separator lid. The size of this face cream jar is not too bulky and still suitable for travelling.

Scent & Impression

It smells good, and not too overwhelming. It has creamy texture that can easily to be absorbed into skin :) My brother said there's itchy feeling after application (when he's about to sleep) but fortunately he didn't encounter any break outs or irritation.

Overall Thoughts

I'm happy when knowing he succeed in emptying this jar! :D :D at least he treat his skin quite well. You know, mostly men are too lazy reluctant to apply any skin care product because they don't know the importance to take care of our skin as early as possible. I even have to remind my boyfie everyday to cleanse his face before go to sleep -_- uhh.

Seneng dengernya pas tau adikku berhasil ngabisin 1 wadah Skin Lightening Cream ini :D Yah setidaknya dia mulai belajar merawat diri lahh.. Seperti yang kalian tau, kebanyakan cowok terlalu malas tidak punya keinginan untuk menggunakan perawatan kulit karena mereka ngga tau pentingnya merawat kulit sedini mungkin. Bahkan aku harus mengingatkan ke pacar untuk cuci muka setiap malam sebelum tidur -_- uhh.

Hmmm anyway, for visible result of his effort, you may see the before-after photos below:

sorry for censoring my bro's face :s for privacy purpose 

Does my bro's skin got brighter after 1,5 months application? I don't think so (okay, maybe little bit), but one thing that I'm sure enough is his skin texture surely improved :) and he says that his skin feel refreshed on the next morning!

Apakah kulit adikku bertambah cerah setelah 1,5 bulan pemakaian? Hmmm aku ngga yakin (okelah, mungkin sedikit cerahan), tapi satu hal yang kuyakin adalah tekstur kulitnya semakin baik, dan tambah halus :) Dan dia juga bilang kalau kulitnya terasa segar di pagi berikutnya.
