Beauty White Vampire Whitening Soap Review

What: Beauty White Vampire Whitening Soap v.2, 85g
Price & Where: 85.00 PHP, from a Shopee seller

Hi, guys! I told you in a previous post that I hauled some Thai products through Shopee. My first Thai product review was a disaster but, whatever! Nothing can stop me from trying out this Vampire Whitening Soap from the brand Beauty White. This is another Shopee best-seller and of course, I'm a curious cat and I just have to try it myself.

Without further ado, here's my review!

About the Product & Packaging

The back of the packaging

First of all, the soap is housed in this black & red vampire-inspired box. It is holographic and twinkles if you move it to and fro. The stuff on the box is written mostly in Thai, except for the ingredients list.

The soap inside is protected by plastic. It is smaller than I expected, being only 85 grams.

The soap has this vampire logo imprinted into it.

Ingredients (from the box):
Ascorbic Acid, Citrus Auranium Amara Fruit Extract, Cocos Nucifera Fruit Oil, Fragrance, Glycerin, Olea Europaea Fruit Oil, Sodium Cocoate, Sodium Palm Kernelate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Tocopheryl Acetate, Water

The product description (from the seller) says this has rose oil extracts to help stimulate the skin cells and blood circulation resulting to healthy skin, lycopene from tomatoes to maintain skin's youthful appearance and soft like baby skin, arbutin that inhibits melanin causing freckles and dark spots, and glutathione, vitamin C, vitamin E and vitamin B3  to help skin look healthy, luminous, even when out in the sun.

Except for Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) and Vitamin E (Tocopheryl Acetate), I don't see the stuff mentioned above in the actual ingredients list. What gives? So deceptive! Always read your ingredients list, guys! The soap indeed smells like roses except, like I said, rose oil extract is not in the actual ingredient list. It's probably the added fragrance. -___-

My Experience

With Vampire in the name and packaging, it's obvious I'm gonna be a vampire after using this, right? Just kidding. Vampire pale, perhaps. I'm not really looking for super-whitening but I want all the help I can get to even out my skintone. Let's see if this works.

soap lather and the color

This soap lathers really well! Just a few rubs and I was able to get the pic above. The soap suds were tinged pink from the soap's color but it went away after foaming it up more. I left it on my skin for 2-4 minutes then rinsed it off. It's good in removing dirt and grime. I felt clean after washing the suds off.

A downside I noticed is that this soap is not compatible with Maxipeel (Tretinoin + Hydroquinone). I'm using Maxipeel Exfoliant #2 (which I got it from my Summer Girl Saladbox) on my face and neck.

During the first time I used this, I applied the soap all over my face and body. My face and neck felt itchy all day even if I rinsed it off. I stopped using it on the Maxipeel areas and the irritation stopped. If you are on tretinoin or hydroquinone, I don't recommend using this at the same time.

Another downside is that this soap melts really fast. I divided the soap into two and only use it once a day. Despite that, the whole bar only lasted for 2 weeks. That's a really short time! Maybe that's why I don't see any changes in my skin tone. It didn't give me the vampire skin it promised me. Not one bit! Like, nothing at all! Yikes.

Will I Recommend/Repurchase This?

Honestly, NO. I'm not impressed. The downsides far outweighed the very few positives it had. Sure, I used it for a very short period (only 2 weeks!) but I have previously tried a soap that really delivered results within the same amount of time! This vampire soap pales in comparison.

I have a few more purchases from Shopee. Fingers crossed they work because what I tried so far are quite disappointing. Have you tried this product? Tell me below if it performed miracles for you! Haha!
