How to use Kojic Acid Soap SAFELY.
The downside of popular skincare ingredients is that they can often be misused. I talk about how much I love kojic acid because of how it’s transformed mine & past clients skin when used the RIGHT way.
Kojic acid soap is not a product that should be used daily let alone twice a day. It is also not a product that should be used as a cleanser but as a spot treatment.
Soaps throw off the PH of your skin which can leave it feeling dry and tight as well as making it easier for your skin barrier to be damaged.
Many people also skip a patch test and I cannot stress enough how important this is as kojic acid in some people can cause contact dermatitis.
Above all, kojic acid soap is not the be all and end all. There are so many products that work in similar ways. Alpha arbutin is my fave alternative to kojic acid. Though it works slower, it is well tolerated and gentle. If you required something faster acting, hydroquinone (as a spot treatment for hyperpigmentation) is far better.
As you can see, there are many options and as I always said: IT IS NOT EVERYTHING ON THE INTERNET YOU MUST TRY. Even with my advice 😅 listen to your skin (as well as the experts)
