I was struggling with acne scars and a salesperson recommended this to me, so I bought it and it was so good I bought it again. At around 2,000 yen each, it's quite expensive for a solid soap, but when you use it, it's really good value for money. It doesn't dissolve, even if you leave it in the bathroom. That's why it lasts a long time. I use exfoliating soaps about once every two days because using them every day can actually damage my skin, but it lasted me about a year and a half. It's amazing. Also, if you use a facial cleansing net when using it, it lathers up really well.
I bought this for my body, not my face. It has a peeling effect, so I use it occasionally, not every day.
I bought this to brighten my body. It lathers well and I use it twice a week. I'm not sure about the results yet, but I'm hopeful.
I bought this again because I was happy with the last time I bought it. It cleanses well and lathers well. It didn't cause any itchiness.
It contains hydroquinone, which has a gentle peeling effect, making it great for daily use on the whole body! It lathers easily with a foaming net, and the fine foam rinses off easily. It cleanses with a refreshing feeling, but doesn't dry out the skin, leaving the surface of the skin moisturized. While I don't experience the immediate effect of tone-up that reviews claim, I'll continue to use it in the hopes that it will help remove dullness and promote skin turnover.
