On my trip to Robinson's Galleria a month ago, I saw a big kiosk of SESOU store. It's a store where you can buy everything organic, from head to toe! They also sell general cleaning items and other stuff that's environment friendly. This is the store where I first met my favorite All Organics Soaps that I still purchase from time to time. I was looking for my favorite All Organics Calamansi variant that time but it's OOS. I was contemplating if I'll get another fave, the Singkamas variant or try another organic brand. Well, trying another brand can be risky for me now since my skin's condition these past few days was very sensitive. Breakouts here and there and my old skin care regimen seems not working anymore. So even though I was skeptical on trying an new organic brand, I still pursued buying one from Be Organic.
My skin concerns as of the moment are tiny bumps like whiteheads that will turn into zits after a few days, rough and dry cheeks and some oiliness on my chin and nose. I know that the cause of this is hormonal. I already went to my OB-Gynecologist to have a general check up. Anyhoo, there are four variants of Be Organic soap that time and I have my eyes glued on the Papaya Kojic soap. I was brave enough to try kojic soap because I already tried this variant of soap from different brands before. What's new to me is the combination of Papaya and Kojic. I've been using the soap for more than three weeks now and the results are erratic. I guess the effects on my skin is not because of the soap but mainly the hormonal changes that I've been going through.

What I like:
- It's organic!
- The price- affordable.
- The scent is not overpowering, there's a faint papaya scent.
- It's mild and gentle on my skin.

- Exfoliates very well!

- Made my skin squeaky clean after every bath.
What I don't like:
- Not easily accessible.
- Doesn't have batch, manufacturing and expiry date.
- Made my skin dry if I let the lather stay on my skin for more than two minutes.
- Melts easily and it breaks into small crumbs of soap.
Will I repurchase? Yes. But I want to try other variants from this brand like their Bearberry Soap which is for anti-aging.
Recommendation:
I give a 4/5 rating. I can say that I have a love-hate relationship with this soap. It performs well in drying up pimples and making my pimple marks appear lighter but I noticed that after one pimple dries up, another one will appear after a span of two days. As I've said earlier, maybe it's because of my hormonal imbalance that's why pimples keep on coming back even though I'm using the right kind of skin care products for my face. Since this soap doesn't contain hardeners, I advise you to cut into half so that it will not melt faster than the usual in the soap dish.

I've always been curious about kojic soaps since there has been a lot of it in the market lately. This review just helped my decision in just sticking to using the big brands instead of these ones.
ReplyDeleteWanna try this! I wonder if this product is so effective. But i'm interested. papaya is said to be a number 1 in whitening the skin. :)
ReplyDeletewhere can i buy this kojic soap?i been using kojic soap but a different brand,are they the same kaya?
ReplyDeleteI've always wondered about the effect of kojic soap. Thanks for sharing! :)
ReplyDeletexx Daphne of http://daphnebenosa.com
Its kinda hard to find a non melting kojic soap. but still almost all of them are effetive! :)
ReplyDeleteInteresting, another organic papaya soap in the market, maybe I'll try it too, and see if the same thing happens with my pimples. :)
ReplyDeletePretty Ingenious
@Leilani Gamboa- Hello :) Ganun talaga, may organic soaps din na nakaka dry ng skin. Hope you'll be able to find the soap na compatible sa skin type mo.
ReplyDelete@Sakuranko- thank you so much dear!
@Franc Ramon- yes indeed :)
@Nicol- oh I see. Sometimes our skin gets immune kasi from the products we're using lalo na kung matagal na talaga natin ginagamit.
@Le-an Lacaba- thanks for your insight. We have different skin types dear and sometimes kahit na yung purest and safest pede pa din hindi hiyang sa atin. Some individuals also tend to get allergic sa mga natural skin care products.
@Fati Recede- try this sis and let me know it's effective to you.
@sherry ann gole cruz- Sis at SESOU TRINOMA or ROBINSON'S Galleria. You can also go to their facebook page: Be Organic Bath and Body, they are different kasi because of the ingredients kahit both kojic sila.
@Dapne Benosa- it's good for skin whitening/lightening!
@Sheela Marie Castillo- I guess it's the nature of the soap talaga, mas less yung chemicals na gamit kasi it's an extract from natural ingredients.
@Phya- I highly recommend this soap. Yung hormones ko lang talaga pasaway :)
I've tried this before. But it was a bit harsh for my skin. My skin was peeling in patches >.<
ReplyDeletemy brother and my sister-in-law are using this kojic soap. sbi nla effective namn magpaputi :D i havent tried it myself yet. they were ordering the soap on a friend hindi pa kxe ata available sa drugstores since wla expiry date ska mdyo ngddry dw skin dito eh nagaalangan p aq gmitn. thanks for your post ngkaron aq ng idea aside from my bro & sis-in-law experience on this soap :)
ReplyDeletehaven't tried this but, i put organic or products with lesser chemical contents,first on my list because I have a very sensitive skin that chemicals would easily make it dry or itchy. heard a lot about Kojic soaps and my friends told me those really lighten their skin. By the way, I get curious about "Kojic" what really is kojic? And yah you're right, I used a lot of whitening/exfoliating soaps, and we have the same experience - they melt easily...but I'd definitely try it and see how its effect differs from the other soaps of its kind...thanks for the review now I have another choice! =)

ReplyDeleteLots of kojic soaps in the market dont know what products to use now lol.
ReplyDeletewww.orenjji.blogspot.com
@Oren-jji- let's try them all!
ReplyDelete@Pau B.- aww, sorry to hear that. some individuals are allergic to kojic acid din.
ReplyDelete@Arra Odeza- try it dear, meron kana basis ngayon :)
@Claire Pajarillo- Kojic Acid sis is extracted from mushrooms and used to whiten the skin and by slowing the pigmentation process. Try this just make sure to cut the soap in half para di masayang.
I love organic products. I try to stay away from products with chemicals and other ingredients that I have never heard of. Kojic is one of the best but the melt easily part is annoying. Will try this, I have never tried this before. You should try oatmeal soap, it's really great and doesn't dry out your skin :)
ReplyDelete@Louise Ito- yey, we both love organic products! thanks for the recos dear, will try that soon.
ReplyDeletehi . .suggestion ko , kung may hormonal imbalance ka drink fish oil or spearmint tea . nakakabalance sila . gumana sa akin yung fish oil at hanggang ngayon , wala na akong malalaking pimles at bihira na magkaroon .
