When it comes to skin whitening, I make sure that I use a product that is safe and effective. I always neither read the list of ingredients to make sure that my skin will not breakout nor will get irritated from the product itself. One of the most sought after ingredients in skin whitening today is kojic acid. I've tried kojic acid soaps in the past and some gave me a hit and miss results. I'm sure you've seen my reviews and based on that experience some kojic soaps may either break you out or will just give a temporary whitening result.
I was on grocery shopping last month when I saw this sleek orange and white box on one of the shelves that says Kojic Acid+ Tranexamic Acid. Sounds interesting because it’s not only Kojic Acid but it also contain Tranexamic Acid. I got intrigued so I grabbed the box immediately and saw that it was Belo Intensive Whitening Bar. I was giddy to try the soap but then I still have a whitening soap that I need to finish so I said to myself that I will really try that soap next month. But luckily, I was sent a few samples of the soap to try. I've been using the soap for more than a week now. I was amazed from the unique box because it contains interesting quotes and it's loaded with important information about the product.

| Product Review: Belo Intensive Whitening Bar- Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid |
I've been using the soap for more than a week now. Since the soap is labeled as intensive, I'm expecting to see results as early as 5 days. I'm already fair to begin with but my face is suffering from dark pimple marks and some freckles that need a heavy duty whitening soap in order to lighten them. I have high hopes with the soap because Belo’s product is indeed, 64% more effective than other products with Kojic Acid alone, as evidenced by clinical studies conducted. Sounds very promising right? Before the review, here are important points you need to know about the product:

Kojic Acid is an organic compound that effectively inhibits the production of tyrosinase and melanin giving skin a visibly lighter appearance. Tranexamic Acid, on the other hand, is a peptide proven to inhibit inflammation and melanin formation. It is ideal for stubborn dark spots that do not respond to other skin lightening ingredients.

Recommendation:
I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I already liked the soap on the first day of use. There's a very mild stinging and itching sensation meaning the soap's active ingredients is working on exfoliating dead skin cells on my face. It's tolerable that's why I'm not afraid that the soap would burn my skin like what happened to me with other brands of commercially produced kojic soap in the market today. Since this product is 64% more effective than other products with Kojic Acid alone (based on clinical studies) I can say that Belo authority really has the expertise in formulating effective products. After using the soap in a span of one week, there's a slight change in the color of my pimple marks, not that drastic but I can see a difference. This is what an intensive whitening bar should be, safe and effective that's why I highly recommend Belo Intensive Whitening Bar- Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid.
