Last Wednesday, I made a quick decision to buy the Kojie San Dream White Soap. I recall first seeing this product back in 2008, side by side with the Kojie San Lightening soap. I never really thought about trying it out before because I was always more focused on lightening my sun darkened skin. Nonetheless, I purchased the "anti-aging soap" curious to know what it was all about and to see if it was just as effective as its counter part. Personally, I was not exactly sure what kind of results I was expecting to see. Unlike with the Lightening Soap, a lighter skin tone reflected its effectiveness. Perhaps with the Anti-Aging soap, I was expecting less wrinkles or the disappearance of wrinkles or something along that line. Regardless, I wrote a detailed account about my overall experience.
The Kojie San Dream White soap is very affordable. As you can see in the photo above, it only costs 60 Philippine pesos which is about 1 US Dollar and 50 cents for a small package of two 65 gram bars. The big package of two 135 gram bars costs about 120 Philippine pesos which is about 2 US Dollars and 50 cents.
I did a little research on titanium dioxide, an ingredient that I was not familiar with. Although this substance seems to be quite controversial, it is still a key component commonly used in a lot cosmetics and beauty products. According to The Organic Make-up Company Inc. -"Titanium dioxide is chemically processed to remove these impurities, leaving the pure, white pigment available for use." "In cosmetics, it serves several purposes. It is a white pigment, an opacifier and a sunscreen."
So that night I washed my face with the soap and lathered it on my cheeks, nose, neck, forehead, and the area around my eyes but not too close to my eyes. It had a nice mild vanilla scent. After I rinsed my face with cold water, my skin felt clean, tight, soft, and not dry. Using the soap was pleasant. The next morning however, I noticed I had two small emerging pimples on the center of my forehead. I decided to stop using the soap on my face. I didn't want to waste the soap so I opted to just use it on my body.
It may have not have been good for my facial skin, but just after two days -I did notice a very positive and very drastic change on the skin around my legs. You see, I have three to four stretch mark lines on both my left and right calves. I've lost weight over the past few years and I first noticed these stretch marks back in 2010. They are not that noticeable unless you really scrutinize my legs. I could always quickly spot them before. However, after using the Kojie San Dream White soap they appear to have become so faint that now, I have to keep looking very carefully at my calves to try and find them. Honestly, I am not sure if they are less visible as a result of a lighter shade or if the collagen and elastin in the soap is actually working. I just know that I can barely see them now despite the overall complexion of my legs being dark. I really wish I took some photos of the stretch marks prior to using the soap. All the photos featured below are from "after" using the Kojie San Dream White Anti-Aging Soap.
