I have always wanted to try this soap since it has simple ingredients and is supposedly fungal acne safe.
I live in Japan so it is not hard to get this product but it is quite pricey. The whole soap(80 grams) costs around 2,000 yen and I wasn't sure if it would suit my skin. Luckily I could get my hands on an 8.5 grams samples for a cheap price. It is a peeling soap but it says that it can be used twice a day. However my skin is quite dry and I normally only wash my face in the morning with water only or not at all.
Before I use this soap my skin was having breakouts and was quite itchy, most likely my fungal acne inflammation getting triggered.
The first time I used it was at night after cleansing off my makeup. After washing my face with this soap I felt a little itchy but I just ignored it and went to bed without applying any skin care product. By the time I woke up the next morning my skin has improved greatly and the redness I had has faded.
So it has only been three days since I started using this soap (once a day at night only) which is maybe too early to give a review but this soap has really been a great help that improves my skin texture and brightness. I also read other Japanese reviews about this product and one says that she stopped using foundations and could go outside showing off her bare skin thanks to this soap. They say that the best way to use this soap is by leathering the foam and apply it to the face, Massage your face for a a short time only and gently. Then wait for some times (around 30 seconds) before washing it off. My skin doesn't feel tight after washing and my once dry and flaky skin now feels supple and moisturized. (Mind you I don't use any skincare and only wash my face once at night with this soap.)
The only downside is that this product is a little bit pricey for my liking and it leaves my face itchy (bearable) which I guess is because of the peeling effect it has. I will leave another review about this soap after a longer period of using it. But all in all I can say that this is a product that I would like to recommend to people with dry and sensitive skin and had bad experience with other face cleansers.
Thanks for reading and maybe, you could give this product a chance too^
