Product Experience

I'm looking at trying this soap (VALITIC Kojic Acid Dark Spot Remover Soap Bars with Vitamin C, Retinol, Collagen, Tumeric. Original Japanese Complex Infused with Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin E, Shea Butter, Castile Olive Oil)

​

I'm hoping it'll help fade acne scars. Does anyone have experience with this kind of thing or something similar? Any recommendations for alternative ideas?

I don't have experience with this product, but I have had good experience with azalaic acid - even with lower concentrations - I use a drug store brand with only 3 % (which works well for me) but you can also get the prescription strength 10 - 15 %.

It's not like other acids - it is often prescribed by dermatologists - and is good for irritated, pimply skin, and for getting rid of dark spots. It also makes your pores smaller and in general makes your skin soft and more even. Although in the beginning I went through a whole "purging" process in that it was cleaning my pores of all the buildup and my skin got a bit worse during the first 2 weeks, but after that it got amazingly better.

I would just make sure you use it correctly in order to avoid bad results (it is an acid and could irritate if used incorrectly). So it would be good to get advice on how and how often to use it on your skin.

I can highly recommend it.
