Tep Tries New Stuff: Whitening

Showing posts with label Whitening. Show all posts

Hello, everyone! After I reviewed Navarro's Bleach last year, some of you recommended a few other brands to try. Maldita Bleach was one of the most requested so here we go!

About the Product

What: Maldita Premium Bleach
Price & Where: 150-300 Php at Shopee

Maldita Bleach, to put it plainly, is a skin whitening product. According to the product description, it is good for stretch marks, acne marks, uneven skin tone, dark underarm, groin, tan lines, scars, melasma, insect bites, and bikini lines. They claim you can see results in just seven days!

They have two variants: the "regular" ready-to-apply cream and the "premium" product which has stronger ingredients but you need to mix by yourself. Here are the differences between the two:

Note: This is the old packaging but you can still see this on some stores like Shopee.
The new Maldita Bleach now have pink/blue labels depending on the variant.

I have what they call a farmer's tan and I've been trying to get rid of it for a while now. Based on the above comparison, the Premium version is more attractive to me. I don't have kids, I am not preggy and as far as I know, I don't have sensitive skin. The 15 minutes soaking time is also a plus because honestly, I don't have the patience to wait for 1 hour. 😆 Choose whatever is more suitable for you!

The packaging does not have an ingredients list but according to them, the bleach does not contain hydroquinone, ammonia or parabens.

The powder container has a paper sticker as a safety seal while the bottle is wrapped in plastic.

Important Reminders:
- Avoid eye contact and open wounds
- Keep out of reach of children
- Perform a skin test on a small part of your skin. If irritation develops, discontinue.

Usage:
1. Wash skin to remove dirt.
2. Apply an ample amount of Maldita Bleach cream on desired body area.
3. Leave it on your face for 5 minutes and 15-30 minutes for your body.
4. Rinse thoroughly. Use body scrub, loofah or a washcloth to remove excess cream.
5. Nourish your skin with moisturizing cream/totion.

How to mix MB Premium?
👉 For convenience, you can mix the solution and the powder together. You must use it within two weeks.
👉 If you only need to use it for a small area, mix powder and solution in a 1:1 ratio or until you form a melted ice cream consistency.

My Experience

creamy texture

I just followed the 1:1 ratio until I got the melted ice cream texture. The mixture smells like Perla soap for me.

I tried using this on my face first. The bleach gives off irritating fumes and my eyes got red after a few minutes. I also experienced tingling which escalated to a mild burning sensation as time went. It was still tolerable for me so I pushed through the 5-minute waiting time. The product will become powdery and will tighten as it dries. I recommend using a thin layer so that it will dry faster.

When a product gives you tears, time to emote and pretend you are an actress! LOL

After one use, did I see results? Nope! I actually can't tell the difference to be honest. However, do keep in mind that bleaching products usually show results after more than a week of usage. With my initial experience, I don't want to use this on my face again.

I did use the rest of the bleach on my arms and darker areas like knees and my feet. I did not experience the stinging like on my face. After one week, here's the result! See for yourself!

after one week of use on my arms

I naturally have morena skin but I got tanner when I did a day hike with my friends. Just look at the difference after I took off my watch! After one week of usage, my tan has faded and my skin tone looks more even now. This product works! Just make sure to use a hydrating lotion because it will dry out your skin.

Verdict

This product does work and it helped in fading my tan. If skin lightening is your end game, you probably need to use 3-5+ tubs of this. I emptied mine after my 7th day.

Tried this product? How did it went for you! Let me know!

Yoko Whitening Spa Salt For Armpit & Bikini Area Review

Hello, guys! How are you? I grabbed this Yoko Whitening Spa Salt on a whim when I was out shopping in a supermarket. Salt scrubs are an off/on staple in our bathroom but I haven't tried this brand yet nor have I seen a salt scrub that specifically targets the armpit and bikini area. I'm on a quest to transform my dark pits, so for you girls like me, here's my review!

About the Product

WHAT: Yoko Whitening Spa Salt For Armpit & Bikini Area

PRICE: 39 PHP at Unitop

Product Description:
Whitening Spa Salt enriched with Vitamin E and natural herbal extracts. It can remove dirt deposits and dead skin cells from the armpit and bikini area effectively giving you a new radiant skin, feeling clean and soft, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkly skin. Dramatically effective for your Armpit and Bikini area within 7 days.

Directions:
Pour spa salt on your hand, rub gently in circular motion on wet skin, leave it on your skin for 3 minutes and then rinse off with clean water.After use, you can feel your skin's softness and smoothness.

Ingredients:
Sodium Chloride, Glycerin, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Acanthus Ebracteatus Vahl Powder, Fragrance, Olea Europaea (Olive) Fruit Oil, Curcuma Longa Powder, Rhinacanthus Nasutus Powder, Andrograhis Paniculata Powder, Sapindus Mukurossi Powder, Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), CI 14720, CI 19140, CI 42090

Salt is, of course, the first in the ingredients list. There's glycerin and olive oil for moisture plus powders from plant extracts. Niacinamide is the whitening ingredient while Vitamin E is there as an antioxidant and skin conditioner.

My Experience

The salt scrub comes in a 220g resealable plastic pouch. The salt inside is yellowish in color - it looks like brown sugar but much finer in texture.

I love the smell of the salt. I can detect something floral and something ginger-ish in it so I looked up the scientific names and learned that the scrub contains jasmine and turmeric. Hmmm, that explains the scent and why the scrub is yellow!

If you're worried about staining, no need to worry because the scrub does not stain my skin (or the bathroom tiles) and can be easily washed away.

before and after dissolving it in water

I wash myself first with a shower gel or soap and apply the scrub on damp skin. Make sure your skin is just damp and not sopping wet because the product will melt easily. Also, don't use on open wounds because this will hurt a lot. Remember, the scrub is basically salt. Lol.

The armpits and the bikini area have thinner skin than the rest of our body so I use very gentle circular motions when rubbing the scrub. The salt is fine but it has enough abrasiveness so you don't need to apply force.

Impressions

I use this product every other day and at the time of writing, I am on my second week of use.

It's an effective exfoliant - my skin feel super soft whenever I use this. It's also great in removing deodorant residue since my underarms look a lot clearer than before although I haven't seen significant whitening results yet. So far, I'm happy with the product and will continue using it. Will update this post once I empty the pouch.

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!

What: Alada Soap, 160g
Price & Where: 300 PHP at @mariasonlineshop

Hi, guys! Here's my review of the popular Thai beauty soap called Alada!

I got the soap as a freebie from @mariasonlineshop (Shopee link) when I spent a certain amount during a Shopee promotion. Depending on where you buy it, the soap normally retails about 300-500 PHP. So pricey! I've finished the whole bar already so read on to see if it worked for me!

About the Product

ALADA claims to remove acne, freckles and pimples for clearer and finer skin complexion. It promises to nourish, moisturize and whiten your skin, keeping it smooth and young looking.

I can't find the complete and full ingredients online but Alada claims that the soap is made with 100% organic ingredients. According to the product description, the soap contains Carambola extract and natural fruit acids to help reduce scarring and to remove dead skin cells. It also has White Ginger Extract which has antibacterial properties to prevent the formation of bacteria. Collagen will soften, moisturize, and brighten skin naturally. Algae Extract for protecting the skin's moisture balance and for preventing the loss of water under the skin. Lastly, it has Arbutin which inhibits the production of melanin for fairer skin.

Instructions:

For Face - Wash and rinse off.

For Body - Wash and leave for 3-5 minutes then rinse off.

First Impressions

Alada Soap Review authentic holographic box

sparkly box

Apparently because of its popularity, this soap is imitated a lot! Alada released new soap packaging to combat fakes. You should look for a holographic box with an embossed logo.

The back part is also holographic. Look at those sparkles!

The back contains information written in Thai but thankfully, the instructions are in English. There's also a Line QR code in it and if you're wondering, it directs to the CEO's LINE account. If you have questions, I guess you can contact her directly.

New packaging! The soap inside comes in a printed plastic wrapper with a holographic gold sticker.

The brand's logo is stamped on front.

The bar of soap is huge at 160 grams and looks like a regular papaya soap. If you have doubts about the authenticity of your soap, you can check out Alada's Official Thai Facebook page. They have a lot of tips on how to spot fake Alada.

My Experience

The soap is described as strong and not for people with sensitive skin. I totally see what they mean but I love it!

During my very first wash, I lathered up and left the suds as long as I can. My face felt tingly after 2 minutes (like when you leave kojic acid on for too long) so I washed it off first. For the rest of my body, it was around 6 minutes before I felt the stinging sensation.

If it was harsh, why do I love it?

Well, after washing away all the suds, I massaged my skin gently in a circular motion to exfoliate. I was only using my fingers but so much dead skin fell off! Too much information? Haha sorry but I was really surprised by the amount I was able to remove. I exfoliate regularly (at least once a week) but somehow, Alada managed to loosen up all the dead skin cells I never thought I had! Sofia's Glutathione Soap had similar exfoliating powers but I find Alada to be 3 times more potent.

Too much exfoliation is a bad thing so I only do the process above every three days. For the rest of the week, I leave the suds on my body for two minutes then rinse it off. I use a lesser amount of time for my face.

I'm not sure how to describe its smell - it's kinda weird but still tolerable. Don't worry because after rinsing it off, the smell goes away too. By the way, expect micropeeling even after removing all those dead skin cells. I apply lots of lotion after to keep my skin soft and moisturized.

Results

I used Alada once a day and I applied it very generously. The soap was a big bar but it only lasted a total of 15 days for me.

1st pic - Before using the soap (daylight, near window)
2nd pic - A few days after I finished the bar (bathroom lighting)

I suck at taking progress pics and this is not *exactly* how my skin looks like, but as you can see, I was tan and darker in my BEFORE pic. In real life, the reddish cast disappeared and I got at least 1.5 shades lighter. (Note: The AFTER pic above looks much lighter because of the lighting). I have obvious tan lines on my upper arms. It faded a little bit and it blends with my skin tone now. Not a bad progress for only two weeks of usage!

Verdict

Alada is great for exfoliation (three thumbs up for that 👍👍👍) and it also lightened my skin in just a short time. I think you'll definitely achieve a fairer skin tone if you use the soap continuously. Biggest downside is the price. It's expensive at 300PHP per bar but I think it's still worth trying. Because of fakes, make sure you buy from a trusted seller!

Overall, I highly recommend this soap. I'll definitely purchase this.

What: Orange Peeling Lotion
Price & Where: 50 PHP from a Shopee seller

Hi, everyone. I have "farmer's tan" on my arms and face (kinda like Joe Jonas here) for as long as I can remember. I have experimented with lots of whitening soaps & lotions and while some of them did lighten my skin a little bit, my permatan looks like it's there to stay. I think I need something stronger. Enter this Orange Peeling Lotion.

I found this on Shopee. It claims that it will help rejuvenate the skin in less than a week by peeling dead and old skin to reveal whiter and smoother skin! Aside from that, it will whiten new scars, stretch marks, dark spots plus it claims that it's totally safe!

Too good to be true? Haha. Read more to learn how it performed. ;p

About the Product

I'll say this right from the start: this product is kinda sketchy. 😂 I can't find much info about the brand, the ingredients or the manufacturer (and reviews I can trust are really few) but this product still seems popular on Shopee anyway. I'm high-key hesitating but in the spirit of trying new stuff, I decided to buy a couple of bottles.

I've seen different kinds of orange peeling lotion but the one I got comes in a clear and quite flimsy 100ml plastic bottle with a flip cap. There is a sticker label on the front and an expiry date stamped at the bottom, but aside from that, no other information is included.

the lotion is orange and has this tiny little bubbles spread all over

Did some googling and apparently, orange peeling lotions work similar to green peeling oils except it is in lotion form. Peeling oils contain AHAs/BHAs to increase the rate of skin renewal so this lotion should also contain some. The actual ingredients are not disclosed so use this at your own risk! Patch test first before using!

How To Use:
1) Apply the lotion on clean skin before bedtime.

- Use the lotion generously & massage until it's totally absorbed.
- Let dry and apply another layer after 15 minutes.
- Let dry and apply another layer after 15 minutes.
- Repeat until you have achieved 3 layers.

- Go to sleep.
2) Repeat the step 1 the next night and the next night - total of 3 consecutive nights.
3) Skin will start peeling after 5-7 days.

Notes (tips from seller):
- You may take a bath but DO NOT SCRUB on the area where you applied the peeling lotion

- If redness or irritation occurs during peeling period, use hydrocortisone cream to relieve itching.

- DO NOT FORCE THE SKIN TO PEEL OFF, wait until your skin has loosened up from the new skin before peeling it off.

- Avoid too much exposure to sunlight during application, peeling stage and 1 week after peeling.

- Use high SPF lotions during daytime after peeling.

- 1 bottle is enough for both arms, 2 bottles for both legs and 4 bottles for the whole body.

My Experience

The product has a slightly fishy smell which confirms that this contains some AHA/BHA. The texture is on the watery side but despite how light it feels, it takes a while to absorb. I have to continuously massage it in for a few minutes. After it got absorbed, it did not feel sticky.

The texture of the lotion. It dries matte once fully absorbed.

I saw pictures of people peeling their skin off like a sheet of paper (like this), so naturally, I also want to try that. 😂 To get the best results, the seller recommended not showering during the application and after the application until your skin peels.

I tried to follow it. I didn't shower/bath during the 3 days of application. The lotion got absorbed completely on the first day but after 3 days of piling on layer after layer, my skin formed what I call a "dried up crusty" layer.

A part of my arm after 3 days of thick lotion layers, no showering.
Those are not dead skin cells btw. That's the lotion pilling up.

I applied the lotion thickly to use up 1 bottle for both arms as instructed and let me tell you - by the third day, my skin was so saturated that it won't absorb any more lotion. The lotion dried but if you apply another layer, it would pill up and form these nasty dead-skin looking little balls. You shouldn't confuse this with actual peeling skin.

How could people finish one bottle for both arms in just 3 days? I couldn't.

I felt so grimy after 3 days so I caved in and showered like a normal person. I don't recommend not showering. It's not worth it. I won't do it again. 😂 Take note, you are actually free to shower. Just don't scrub the part where you applied lotion.

Peeling Process

My skin started peeling on the 4th day after my application. Before it started, my skin got drier, tighter and looked so wrinkly. I also noticed that I got 1-2 shades darker.

The peeling started with my hands...

...followed by the thinner areas. (4th day after application, outside)
That's not dried lotion!

No stinging but my skin felt very itchy, especially the crook of my elbows. I can't resist scratching and the result is red, irritated skin. Don't scratch!

So itchy! I tried my best not to scratch it. (bathroom light)

The peeling process went on for a total of 8 days for me. There are tiny dry patches left during the last few days so I just scrubbed it off with a loofah.

Results?

It's actually effective in peeling skin. However, I'm here for lightening and I don't think it did anything in that area.

The new skin looked lighter (6th day, indoor light)

If you see the pic above, you might think the product actually lightened my skin. However, remember this made my skin darker before it peeled off! The new skin looks the same shade before I used this lotion. No changes. My arms still look uneven like this.

Will I Recommend?

Personally, I won't use this again. It did not lighten my skin like it claimed it would plus it's very time consuming. It is also a hassle since I have to hide peeling skin by wearing long-sleeved shirts.

Another great con is the mystery ingredients and manufacturer.

Results vary per person so if you still wanna try this, I won't stop you. I experienced no bad effects except for the temporary darkening and itchiness. It's affordable and won't hurt your purse.

What: Skin Genie Dark Therapy Soap, 135g
Price & Where: 200 PHP at Skin Genie

In this post, I'm gonna review another whitening soap from Skin Genie! The last one I tried from them didn't fare very well, so read on to see if this Dark Therapy Soap performed better!

Product Description:
🔹 Speedy Whitening 🔹 Moisturizing 🔹 Detoxifying

The description is short and to the point. I'm gonna look for whitening results (speedy or not) and gonna watch out for its moisturizing properties. Not sure though how I'll verify the detoxifying claims.

Skin Genie Dark Therapy Soap Review ingredients

Ingredients:
Coconut Oil, Palm Oil, Olive Oil, Aloe Vera Extract, Fruit Acids, Mushroom Extracts, Glycerine from Coconut, Activated Carbon

The fruit acids look like it's the only whitening ingredient? At least, according to this Cosdna analysis. The mushroom extracts is probably kojic acid from koji mushrooms, but I can't really tell, can I? It's too vague. I guess we'll never know.

How to Use

Apply to damp skin and massage into a light foaming lather for 1-2 minutes to get the maximum effect. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

Below the cardboard label is this sticker label. Probably the old packaging?

The soap is stamped with the Skin Genie logo.

I cut it into three just in case it melts fast. It does not.

Experience

The soap doesn't melt fast. It lasted me for almost two months and I used it twice daily! It doesn't lather much. The resulting suds are tiny, like so:

resulting lather

Skin Genie Dark Therapy Soap Review ph test

pH = 8.8

The pH is quite high, but for soaps, pH range between 7.0 - 10.0 pH is totally normal. Anyway, even with the 8.8 pH, this soap is surprisingly moisturizing. It did not make my skin feel dry or tight after. I also did not experience any breakouts or any allergic reaction.

Was It Effective in Whitening?

I'm not gonna mince words: this was not effective for me.

Skin Genie has solid products but I'm skipping this. Even after finishing the whole bar, my existing tan lines haven't faded and I haven't seen any signs of whitening. :/ Most whitening bars usually show results after using one bar; this one didn't so I won't repurchase. I dislike giving negative reviews but I really can't recommend this. 😭

If you are interested in trying the product for yourself, you can get it directly from Skin Genie (check out their SNS info below) or through online stores like BeautyMNL. Our results may vary.

What: Navarro's Bleach
Price & Where I Got It: Php 500 from a Shopee seller

Hi, guys! Today's review will focus on this local Philippine product called Navarro's Bleach. This is another popular product on Shopee PH (store app) and I can't resist checking it out! I mean, look at all this drastic BEFORE and AFTER photos on the brand's facebook page. Shocking, right?

Navarro's Bleach is formulated by Ms. Mary Ann Labajanan, a businesswoman from Davao City. She is actually the person on the front sticker label. Check out the facebook page I linked above and you'll understand when I say she's a walking advertisement. Just look at her milky porcelain skin!

Mind you, I'm not really after ghost-white pale skin but I totally need something to even out my skin tone. I'm like a walking gradient. A calico cat. My face is the darkest part of my body, second to my feet. My arms are another color while my legs/torso are the lightest. It's difficult to get a matching foundation shade because if they match my neck, it would be way too light and if they match my face, the shade would be too dark. The struggle 😂

see? my face is darker than my hand huhu

Skin Genie Black Buster Brightening Soap Review

What: Skin Genie Black Buster Brightening Soap, 135g
Price: 150PHP at Skin Genie

Hello! This review features Skin Genie's Black Buster Brightening Soap. This was included inside the Holiday Box I bought last Christmas. I already finished the whole bar so here's my thoughts!

Product Description
🔹 Brightening 🔹 Anti Aging 🔹 Lightens Spots 🔹 Detoxifying 🔹 Moisturizing 🔹 Softening

From the name alone, I assume this is a whitening soap. There isn't much I can find out about the soap except for the description above.

Ingredients
Licorice, Papaya, Calamansi, Tomato, Cucumber, Kojic Acid, Himalayan Salt, Goat's Milk, Rice Bran with Almonds, Kamias, Tawas

I'm pretty sure this is not the full list since the soap base is not even there. I tried matching ingredients to the functions (e.g. licorice is whitening, papaya is whitening, you get the drift) but what on earth makes this anti-aging or detoxifying? Perhaps the Himalayan Salt? Maybe it's the tawas lol just kidding 😁 Anyway, most of the stuff are well-known lightening ingredients. That's what really matters since this is a brightening soap.

How to Use
Apply to damp skin and massage into a light foaming lather for 1-2 minutes to get the maximum effect. Rinse with warm water and pat dry.

The soap is stamped with Skin Genie logo on one side.

I divided the soap in case it melts fast~

I was able to cut through the soap with only a card. It is tougher than kojic soaps but definitely softer than regular commercial soaps. Anyway, there's really no need to divide it because it doesn't melt fast. It is fragranced but the scent is gentle and not overpowering. It doesn't smell fruity considering what it's made of.

Was It Effective?

In terms of being a soap, I can say yes. It is more sudsy than Skin Genie's Acne Warrior Soap. It cleans well and is not very drying. Also, you know how tawas is sticky and very difficult to remove? I did not have any issues like that from using the soap. I didn't break out or anything too. However, as a whitening soap, I'm not really impressed.

Like I wrote earlier, I have already finished the bar. I used it once (sometimes twice) a day for more than a month but I haven't seen any results. My face is darker than the rest of my body and I wish to correct that, but this did nothing for me. I also have t-shirt tan lines on my arms and they haven't lightened just one bit. I'm kinda disappointed because the ingredients looked very promising.

Will I Repurchase/Recommend It?

Skin Genie offers a lot of products that are hits for me (I absolutely adore their Black Mallows Scrub!) but since this soap did not work for me, I have to say NO. I can't recommend it.

If you are interested in trying the product for yourself, you can get it through Skin Genie's social pages (check their info below) or through online stores like BeautyMNL.

And that's it! Hope that helped! Let me know if you have any questions below~
