Product Review: COSMO Skin Exfoliant Soap

 It's nice to see how Cosmo Skin upgraded their beauty and skin care products. Some five years ago they just started from one variant of soap and two kinds of skin care supplements. I've tried their whitening soap (Cosmo Skin Glutathione and Arbutin Soap) before venturing into organic ones. I can say it's cost effective and if you're really serious in making your skin lighter, then Cosmo Skin is for you. I'm fair skinned to begin with but using the soap that I've mentioned above made my fair skin more even toned and smoother. If you'll ask me why I stopped using the soap, then my hormones got to be blamed and organic skin care soaps became my life saver. Switching to natural skin care products doesn't mean that it'll give you good results forever. Like in my case, there were times that my skin got immune to my favorite organic brands too. What I do is to alternate all my HG soaps and when there's a new brand to try, I take time to read the labels and dare to use it without a doubt. If I see a negative reaction after three uses, I stop using it. 

     Remember my post about the Cosmo Skin bfpc The Beauty Event? If not click HERE. I was very privilege to attend that event because it rekindles my love for Cosmo Skin. They we're very generous to give the media a token of skin care products and supplements. This soap was included inside the paper bag full of wonderful products. I've been using four of them as of the moment. I already reviewed their Collagen Hand and Body Cream HERE and boy, it's very effective! So without further ado, here's another product from Cosmo Skin.

Product Review: Beauty and Bright Skin Lightening and Anti-Aging Serum Bar

     I'm very excited to share this review because this is my first brand of organic anti-aging soap to date. I just turned 30 last January and even if I'm 5 years late in my anti-aging regimen ( 25 years old is the recommended age for using anti-aging products) methinks it's not too late to add one or two age-defying product in my skincare essentials. So I'm starting it with an anti-aging soap for the face and body. But this is not just an ordinary soap, it's a serum bar from Beauty and Bright. I guess you got intrigued with the word "serum", I also got curious because this is the first time I encountered the word "serum bar". I've seen the word serum on creams and lotions but not with soap. At first I was skeptical if the soap will produce the same kind of lather that a regular soap can give. But I'm more interested in the list of natural ingredients contained in this serum bar because it's not only anti-aging, it's also a whitening soap so that's two benefits in one! 

     After more than a month of using this serum bar religiously on my face and body, I'm very impressed with the results. I decided to stop using my current faves (snoe white soaps) just to see if it's really effective. I can attest to the effectiveness of this serum bar because 1 month is long enough for me to see the pros and cons of a product especially bath soaps. Please visit this page: Beauty and Bright for more details and product information. 

     Here's my take on Beauty and Bright Skin Lightening and Anti- Aging Serum bar, a must try product that's safe and effective. Now you can have beautiful, brighter and younger skin the natural way :)

     Beauty and Bright is not  your ordinary herbal soap because it is also a serum bar. The moment that you apply the soap to your body, you will feel the thick serum embracing your skin. The natural serum is loaded with essential oils, skin nutrients and a high-concentration of the world's most proven skin-lightening and anti-aging ingredients. Let it stay on your skin for five minutes before washing off thoroughly and see the improvements in your skin after regular use.

Beauty and Bright Skin Lightening and Anti-Aging Serum Bar

LEMON EXTRACT- Another potent skin -lightening ingredient which is rich in Vitamin C. The concentration of lemon extract in our soap helps reduce the formation of melanin.

TRIPLE ANTI-AGING INGREDIENTS:
MORINGA EXTRACT- The extract is rich in Vitamin A that helps build more collagen in the skin.
ACAI BERRY- One of the most powerful anti-oxidants known. The Acai Berry extract is rich in anthocyanins and phytosterols that protect the skin from sagging. The phytosterols in Acai berry is known as collagen protector.

What I like:

• It's organic!
• The price- it's affordable, less than 100 php for a 130g gram of serum bar that's packed with all the goodness that nature has to offer!
• The scent- sweet but not overpowering, there's a hint of fruity scent like those of grape flavored juice.
• Produces a thick and creamy lather that applies very smooth to skin.
• The MILDEST among all the organic/natural soaps that I've tried. Doesn't sting my eyes. Even if I leave the lather for more than 5 minutes there's no stinging or burning sensation on my face and body. 
• My skin feels soft and velvety smooth after every wash. There's a tight feeling on my face but not too tight. 
• I can see a glow on my face and smaller pores when I looked in the mirror.
• Exfoliates well.
• This variant is 2 in 1, whitening and anti-aging for the price of 1 bar. 
• Made some dark spots and blemishes caused by pimples appear lighter after a month of everyday use. 
• Though I'm not sure on the anti-aging effect, I noticed that stretch marks on my abdomen appeared a little lighter in terms of color intensity than before. 
• It's amazing how it can withstand the weather. It's summer and the heat is insane. There's no sign of melting or changes in size and shape. 
• The packaging is very neat and simple. The box is loaded with information. Everything you need to know about the soap is printed on the box. 
• Complete batch, manufacturing and expiry date printed on the box.
• Did I mention it's affordable? I'll just make it cheap- after a month of using the soap on my face and body, there's approximate of 1/3 bar left on my soap dish.

What I don't like:

• None!

Will I repurchase? YES, definitely!

Recommendation:

     I give this soap a 5/5 rating. This is my first organic anti-aging serum bar and I'm very much impressed with the performance. I'm adding this variant now on my bath essentials. A little word of caution, even if this soap contains all natural ingredients I still advise you to use this on a small part of your body first. If there's no negative reaction, redness or irritation occur use this soap as instructed. Remember that natural products can also cause allergic reactions in some individuals. I have a very sensitive skin that's prone to redness and irritation. I'm glad I didn't experience negative reaction from the very first use. I highly recommend this serum bar ^_^

     Do you use anti-aging soaps right now? Thanks for visiting and have a wonderful week guys!

Good Times!~

DISCLAIMER: This product was sent to me by Droplets of Nature for review. The views expressed here are my honest opinion about the product. 

Feature: Beauty and Bright Natural Skin Lightening Soaps

     I'm a huge fan of organic and natural products particularly organic bath soaps. They're my skin's bestest friend. If my memory serves me right, I've tried 5 brands already. These include Cyleina, Bare Naturals, All Organics and Snoe. Most of these brands offer a wide array of variants depending on your skin need. I've also tried Camaru Naturals but their charcoal soap was too harsh for my sensitive skin. If you're a long time reader of this blog, I'm sure you know how much I love All Organics and Snoe White. Their soaps became a staple skin care product for my face and body. Even though I've already found my HG (holy grail), I still need something that will complete the list of ingredients that my aging skin needs. 

     There's a new player in town! Introducing Beauty and Bright by Droplets of Nature. If you'll ask me what's the difference of these soaps from the ones that I've tried before, my answer will be based on their ingredients and the serum bar. Intrigued much? I'm using the serum bar for more than 3 weeks now but before I share my thoughts about Beauty and Bright, it's best to know why I think their soap is very promising ;)

SWITCH to NATURAL! 

The combination of the Three Power Oils that is more effective than arbutin but safer than hydroquinone? 

The first bar: The light purple bar shows the percentage of melanin control when you use the power oils , hydroquinone or arbutin.

The second bar: The darker purple shows the increase in the percentage of melanin reduction when you increase the percentage of power oils , hydroquinone (HQ) or arbutin. While HQ may give you the fastest result to lighten- it is NEVER safe. You can not go under the sun because by doing that may cause an irreversible damage to your skin. Aside from that, HQ is very toxic- You CAN NOT increase its concentration because it can be very harmful to the skin.
