Active White Bleaching Soap Review

WHAT: Active White Bleaching Soap Skin Whitener with Glutathione, 135g
PRICE & WHERE: 89 PHP at Watson's Ph

I love going outside, participating in hikes or generally just traipsing about being one with nature. Even though I wear sunscreens, I still get tan especially on my arms and face resulting in uneven skin tone all over my body. My solution? Good old whitening soaps!

I decided to purchase Active White Bleaching Soap because it looks the most potent among the other whitening soaps in Watson's. Did it work? Read on to find out!

About the Product

I cut the soap in half just in case it melts easily

Product Description:
A great soap for dark and discolored skin. Target problem spots and combat hyperpigmentation with this special intense whitening soap that combines a bleaching formula with glutathione. Have smooth and fair skin that glows.

Ingredients:
Coconut oil, Caustic Soda, Titanium Dioxide, Sodium Silicate, Castor Oil, Cocomide DEA, Scent, Alpha Hydroxy Acid, Milk Extract, Phenoxythanol, L-Glutathione, Beta Arbutin, De-Ionized Water

The soap uses L-Glutathione as its main selling point but looking at the ingredient list, it also contains other effective whitening ingredients. Alpha hydroxy acid (AHA like glycolic, lactic, and citric acid) is great for skin renewal while milk and arbutin have proven whitening benefits too.

My Experience

The soap has a yellowish tinge with lavender swirls in it. It is almost unscented since the added fragrance is super mild. The soap is very bubbly and does not melt easily. The whole bar lasted two months of daily usage for me!

When using whitening soaps, I usually let the lather stay on my skin for around two to five minutes. It didn't sting the whole time I was using it even if I go beyond my self-imposed limits. After rinsing the bubbles off, my skin feels squeaky clean.

Downside: the soap is super drying for me. I chalk it to the AHA which facilitates skin rejuvenation. Sure enough, in less than a week, I was micropeeling. Tip: use a moisturizing lotion for hydration plus sunscreen to protect the new skin!

Results

Before and After. Two months apart.
Same camera settings but lighting is a bit different (noon vs 3pm light).

The soap lasted two months of daily use and after one bar, I still think I am tan! Haha. However, I do think my skin has lightened a lot. I don't look as dark and the pinkish gray cast is not there anymore.

Verdict

I still have a lot of soaps in my stash so I probably won't be repurchasing but I think this is an effective whitening soap with a very reasonable price. It's highly-drying so it's probably not for those with dry or sensitive skin. Make sure to pamper your skin afterwards!
