I ate my words but I don't mind, because this is THE ONE! The one solution to my problem!
For those who have been following my blog, you know how I suffered from adult acne. Yes, suffered! OMG! I can't believe that I can now use the past tense because I am now acne-free! I have been raving & recommending this soap whenever I would receive queries about acne. Why?
Let the pictures do the talking...
This is how my skin looked like when I did my post about this soap. You can read it HERE.
Now, after 6 months of continued use, this is how my skin looks NOW without anything on.
Go ahead, click it!
I don't mind you looking at it because my acne is gone! That red mark there is not acne.
Sugoi,ne?!
Amazing,huh?!
I don't have perfect skin, but I am now confident enough to go out without make-up on. I know I have large pores, but that's the least of my concern because after suffering from acne, you'll realize how minuscule that is compared to acne.
I still have some things that I want to improve on my skin mainly a mild case of acne-scar, large pores, blackheads, broken capillaries, and uneven skin tone amongst others but again, I'm just simply relieved to know that my "acne stage" is finally over! It's really embarrassing to suffer from acne. You go through your everyday activity feeling conscious thinking that people are looking at your acne & not at you when you talk.
It is really a big blow to your self-confidence. I'm just really really glad that my journey to acne-fighting has come to an end.
*whew*
I'm not saying that I can't have pimples anymore. I still get an occasional zit or two, especially during the time of the month but what's amazing about this is that when I use this, it will not grow into a full-grown zit. It will reduce in size & will just disappear! I won't even notice that it's gone!
I love love love this soap!
You might ask me what skin care products do I use?
I'll tell you...
daycare - Nivea Visage Sparkling White UV Blocker
night care - Collagen by Watsons
You might ask me too if maybe it's the effect of the Nivea why I am acne-free. I don't think so because there was a time when I ran out of this soap, I just used the facial wash that I have here but I broke out. I immediately have to run (literally!) to Hortaleza just to buy this soap. I'm really convinced that it is this soap that made my zits go away!
I'm not an expert, ok? Just a simple blogger who has endless curiosity about things so I made a little research about the effects of orange peel on the skin & I found out that orange peel has been used as a home remedy for treating acne. You can use it as a facial mask too!
The typical home remedy is to finely grind the skin with some water until you achieve a paste-like consistency then apply it to the affected area. If you want to use it as a facial mask, you can click HERE for further info.
It is said to even be used to treat cellulite!
Amazing!
Now I won't look at orange like how I did before. I can see myself saving the orange peels starting now.
I tried looking for an explanation of the components of orange peel & how it works on the skin but simple ol' me can't find any, for now. I just don't have the luxury of time now but I'll sit on it one day to look for explanations, ok?
But for now, my pictures did the talking. You see the effect, so I hope that it helped you somehow in deciding if this soap could work for you.
One thing though, again like what I said in my review, is that the packaging makes it really easy to miss.
I have browsed Watsons countless times thinking that it's not available. I had to even ask the SAs if they have it but only to be dismayed that it's there sitting prettily without me noticing it. This goes on every time I am looking for it. Is it just my eyes or me?
But whatever, I will continue pestering SA's just so that I could get myself a bar or two. I have been repurchasing this soap again & again & again. I can't live without it! This is my saving grace!
Thank you, God for small things!
Nah, this is not small, this is a major thing for me!
If you try this do let me know how it works for you,ok?
Hope you all have a great day,hunnies!
Jaa ne~!

yey, no more acne - congrats sis! i agree, having acne takes a toll on self-confidence, great thing your "phase" is now over! ~hugs~
for me, i tend to breakout here and there but no biggie. still, i want clear skin so i use Avene Cleanance-K Cream Gel and that's what works for me. i will review it on my blog soon, i hope haha.
thanks,sis!
i hope that it will work on you din.
i know how acne can destroy a person's social life so i really wish that you'll be able to find the product that will get rid of it.
do tell me if you have tried this,ok?
^_~
i hope that it will work for you too,girl!
it's a lot milder than kojic acid (imo) but i love the scent of this soap!
XD
yeah...i really thought that my acne will be forever na
haha!
im glad that you found the product that works for you.
will be waiting for your review about that,sis!
^_~
wow.. amazing..congrats sis.. :D thanks for this review.. after office.. ill go to watson.. immediately.. LOL ^^,) i hope it works for me din.. :D weeeeeeeeee... ;) excited much.. LOL ^_^
thanks!
happy na happy ako kaya mega promote ako!
haha
sis,very easy to miss ang packaging nito kaya scrutinize mo talaga ang aisle ha
hehe
XD
copy sis.. ^^,) parang gusto ko n ngang tumakbo ngaun sa watson eh.. hahaha.. kaso dto p c boss.. LOL... :P sna meron dto nyan... waaaaa...
may mga pimple ka ba?
parang wala naman e!
wow the effects on your are amazing! if I were you, I'll buy a whole box of it before the whole country clears it off the shelf after reading this xD
so amazing! i am definitely gonna try this soap in the future. =))
haha!
at least there's no chance of it being pulled out of the shelf...it would just be out of stock...LOL!
i just really hope that there won't come a time when it will be pulled out of the market. i'll be crying blood when that happens!
XD
i hope that it will work for you too,sweetie!
^_^
wow! :D congrats sis! :D I'll have my hubby try this one too! <3 thank you! :D
Whoa, thats amazing! I guess I can stop searching for the Neutrogena soap bar for you. lol. Congrats by the way dear! I know it must be so frustrating to even deal with it.
i'm happy for you sis :)
Acne is related to metabolic problems. For me, eliminating sugar and adding zinc and vitamin c to my diet works the fast. I can put on whatever on my skin, acne will come back if diet is not regulated. Just my 2 cents.
congrats on a good soap sis! :) it's nice to know that after 6 helluvacne months, yours is gone!
WOW! The before and after pictures is amazing! Have to grab myself that soap! Hope it also works well in removing marks :(
My skin is flat now.. spots remain.. *sigh*
exactly!
im just glad that im acne-free now!
how are the scars,sweetie?
were you able to find a way to remove it?
thanks!
^_^
i didn't change my diet for the past couple of years so i guess that it's only the soap that really helped me. i have a couple of things that i can't use on my skin for it will lead to break outs.
have you had an experience like so?
you're lucky you can use whatever you wanted without worrying over acne!
^_^
im not sure about the pimple marks because i still have pimple marks but this good for blemishes!
^_~
yeah!
now i can have that diamond peel that i really want to try!
yipee!
^_^
how's your dad now,argie?
i hope he is ok na
thanks!
i'm sure that your hubby will like this soap din!
^_^
oh my! awesome! I'm really happy for you. Glad you found your cure. Will definitely give this a try. :D
thanks!
i find it really liberating that finally! after years of suffering from acne, i can lift my head high & face the world without fears!
LOL!
whhaaaat? This looks really awesome. I'm gonna tell my family in the Philippines about this soap. It's amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Really happy for you! I can definitely feel your joy as I read your post. Gotta try this! Thank you for sharing this to us. It is a great help especially to those who're having acne problems too. Thanks a lot :))

it's my pleasure,sweetie!
i know how hard it is to deal with acne & it really affects the quality of life
>_<
i wish that it would work as great,hun!
im glad that people find this post helpful
i hope that it would really help those who are suffering from acne
^_^
Hello! I was able to buy one for myself. Just now, haha. Thanks to the picture of the soap you posted, I didn't have a hard time looking for it @ Watsons. :))
that's good!
i don't know if it's just my eyes pero everytime i scour the aisle for this soap it just seems to shy away!
haha!
Yey!! I am so happy for you sissy!!!
Kamusta ka na?
Hi Thiamere! Wow, congratulations!!! One of the reasons I read your blog is because your case is realistic. The battle with acne, scars, and budget! haha I totally agree about clear skin boosting one's confidence. So true!
I get regular facials and diamond peel at least once a month (because my skin is prone to scarring, I need the help of diamond peel to lighten them). I still get the occasional zit when it's that time of the month. Traveling also makes my skin go haywire so I really get paranoid and bring my all my skincare products with me. haha!
I'm sure you'll love the diamond peel. It really tightens pores and makes your skin brighter. Be careful though coz you might end up buying a lot of coupons for diamond peels! hahaha
Enjoy your clear skin! :) Happy for you!
thanks,sis!
^_^
im good
how about you,sis?
i hope everything is fine~

thanks,hun!
*hugs*
i need to find time na for diamond peel talaga
i have really heard so much from it. im sure i'll like it how you love it too!
good thing may group buying sites!
haha!
LOL
That is amazing! It's like a before and after infomercial!!
♥I'd love it if you'd visit my blog sometime♥
thanks,hun!
^_^
wow great results.. so happy for you!
i think anything with orange content helps, =))
the most effective soap that i used~ during my college days (heavy breakouts)--papaya orange soap.. it does cleared up my acne and scarring.
now, i'm using it on and off though.. as it can dry naman my aging skin. hehe but at least pimple-free. i'm using papaya orange from dermaline for years.
that's right!
it really helps,no?
i have to really try diamond peel na though my acne scars are not too obvious but i would want to experience it din.
at least you were able to really find the one to make your acne go away
^_~
yay for orange soaps!
What a transformation! The soap really works for you. You're lucky to finally find your HG. I used this and finished a bar. I can say that it helped brighten my skin. It is truly a great product! :)
im glad that it also worked for you.
yay for this soap!
^_^
sis, where did you buy it?
at watsons & hortaleza
^_^
i admire your patience and dedication in battling out acne. I was just wondering, what happened to your likas papaya? do you still use it as facial soap?
nah...
i have never tried using it na ever since i found my HG soap, but this is a good soap naman, a lot of people swear by this!
^_~
i hope this also works on me... i have a sensitive skin :(
hi there, after reading this blog, i get curious and really want to try orange peel. i also prone to pimples especially during the time of the month. my major problem is darkspot on my cheeks after the pimple dry, i tried different brands of soaps and creams but i am not satisfied in their result. i hope this orange peel will works for me too. what other product/s are u using aside from this soap? do u used toner or creams?
hi,sweetie
^_^
i'm not using anything...i don't even apply sunblock. i mean i know it's bad but i sweat so much with sunblock on. i don't like toners either because those alcohol-free toners are somewhat sticky & i hate that feeling. when i apply moisturizer if ever, i use the collagen one from watsons. lately, i started using Nivea Q10 day care though, but it was just a recent change... i just started january 12 of this year.
i hope that this one would work for you,hun
hi sis i tried this product when i read your blog..it's my 3rd day already and napansin ko lng na may tumutubong parang pimple / rashes sa face ko na wala nman kulay, maliliit at di nman masakit..naexperience mo ba to nung 1st week mo gumamit?..arigatou..

By Anonymous on Acne-free & loving it~! on 1/27/12
wala naman akong naexperience na ganyan nung first few days na ginamit ko sya. although may mga occasional small zits na nagppop pag malapit na ang period. kasi usually talaga pag malapit na period ko nung time na may acne ako e talaga namang bongga ang pimple ko.
ngayon maliit na zits na lang na natutuyo naman agad sya sa soap na to.
gawin mo na lang sis, try mo muna sya sa neck & jaw area mo for now para malaman mo nga kung allergic ka. pag may tumubong ganun ulit stop mo na lang. mahirap na e
ganun n nga lang siguro gagawin ko..mukhang effective p naman sya sa pimples kasi natuyo n yung mga pimples ko eh pang 3rd day ko pa lng..thanks sis..anyway, im following your blog cmula pa nun and i'm very happy for you na acne-free ka na :)
thanks,sis!
^_^
a talaga?
sana magwork din sayo. it would take a while bago macontrol ang acne pero i think it's better naman unlike gaya ng kojic na magbabalat ka pa. i'd rather go for something gentle kesa dun sa pilit
how much yan??
it retails for Php145 a box ata e
check out watsons & hortaleza,sweetie
^_^
hello thiamere!!!
i am following your blog...is it really the orange peel and l gluta that cleared youre face or the neutrogena facial bar? i get confused.
hoping for reply=)
hi thiamere..is it really the orange peel soap or the neutrogena facial bar???i get confused because i just read a while ago about youre review on neutrogena..i've decided to buy one but this review made me think twice=)
im following your blog recently=)
hi,sweetie
^_^
actually i made the 'how i broke the breakout cycle' the time when neutrogena was still available. i still got acne when neutrogena was discontinued so i don't have a choice but to look for an alternative. but i was able to really stop acne while i was using it, but it started again when i wasn't using it anymore.
but my skin really cleared up with the orange-peel soap, no doubt about it!
i still use it until now. i still get zits especially when i have my monthly but it's only a zit or two, unlike before. orange-peel soap saved my life!
hahaha
Hi Thiamere! gusto ko lng itanong kung okey sya sa sunlight? because im here in dubai.. madami n ko nasubukan n soap wala effect to my acne.. pls. reply and give me some suggestion..
i think once you start using skin lightening products sunblock is still a must e.
as long as you use a sunblock then i think it will be fine.
unfortunately, i can't really tell a difference when it comes to skin lightening kasi i'm pale to start with na e
:(
i saw one at watsons before but i didnt buy because the SA told me about the carrot soap..unfortunately, it didnt work=(
i'll try this one,, i hope it'll have same effect as you=)..congatulations^-^
carrot soap didn't work for me either
the carrot soap that i bought from watsons, in the cute packaging is from the same company who made orange-peel soap
^_~
you should try bare natural's scar remover, it really helped fade my dark spot on the cheek!
This soap has worked wonders for me as well! Though my skin has once again got out of whack because of lack of sleep, this soap has definitely helped a lot. It keeps the pimples in check and lightens scars! It lasts long too and isnt as harsh as other soaps. It is everything you said it would be. Thank you so much for this helpful review Miss Thea. Keep up the good work :)
no problem,sweetie
^_^
im glad that it works for you as well.
sulit ang Php150,diba?!
the best soap for me!
hahaha
i'll check that one,sweetie
^_^
though im not really that concern over acne scars that much because mine is not that onvious naman unless you take a really close look
Hi!
your review is really helpful.
ill go to watsons later and buy that soap. hope it will work for me too!
i also suffer from acne & acne scars. im currently using nivea sparkling white (whitening toner & facial wash). both expensive & sofar didnt works.
nalaman ko lang ang soap na to sa online seller sa FB effective nga daw.. binebenta nya P230 plus shipping fee P100 . buti nlng naghanap ako ng review at nalaman ko available sya sa watsons :D .madalas ako sa watsons cguro nga hnd ko lang npapansin yan soap na yan.. medyo hnd rin kc ako naniniwala sa herbal ingredients.
thank you for a very helpful review.
hindi sya pansinin talaga
gaya kahapon i went to watson's to buy another bar. i went over the soap section 3x pero hnd ko talaga makita. then i had to ask the SA if they have it.
Then to my embarrassment meron pala. nagiisa na lang pala kaya hindi ko makita. hahaha!
no problem,sweetie
i'm glad that it was helpful
^_^
Hi Ms. Thea! Ask ko lang kung sa face ba tlaga sya ginagamit or pwede rin sa body? Wala naman ako gaanong pimples or acne, but madami akong pimple scars (brown spots). I'm afraid to use/try soaps sa face, kc super sensitive ang skin ko..sobrang bilis mag dry.
Thanks in Advance!
well,it's a face & body soap so you can use it either way. if that's the case then you just have to follow it with a moisturizer. kung talagang dry ang skin mo & an ordinary moisturizer doesn't work then opt for a serum.
para sure ka,try using it on your body first... specially on the neck area para majudge mo then slowly use it sa face... use it once a day na lang muna then if your skin doesn't react to it then i guess you can try using it morning & evening na.
^_^
Thank you so much Thea! :)) I'll buy and try it. Update kita kung anong result. ^_^
no problem,sweetie
^_^
hope that it will work for you
hi po! :)) I'm 16 yrs old po . suffering from acne , mild lang po ba yung soap?? gusto ko po itry to ee, ayoko naman pong magpafacial ..
help nman po T.T thanks!
hi,sweets!
honestly, im not really a pro. i don't have an idea if using such soaps would be good for different skin types, whether it's oily or dry, young or mature.. kung gusto mo talaga itry, maybe you can just use it sparingly. a reader once left a comment on my kojie-san review that using kojic acid on young skin is not good in the long run lalo kung hnd ka nagssunblock.
you just have to be careful na lang when you use it, i guess. if your skin doesn't agree with it, then stop it. pwede mo nmn gamitin sa body if ever e.wag mo ipilit ha. i'm a firm believer that your skin will tell you what it feels e. i never believe in those 'purging state' that others say about a certain routine. it might work for some, but it didn't for me.
Where can I buy this one?
this is available in watsons & hortaleza here in the philippines,sweetie
Hi sis! Glad it really solved your problem. I've read a couple of your reviews and I really find them convincing because of the supportive pictures.
Though I have a little acne problem here, I'm more concerned about the dark circles around my eyes. They are so dark as in that I look like a panda when not wearin makeup, obvious(super) pa naman 'cause I have white skin. Do you think this product could help with the discoloration? Btw I've been using Kojie-san for 2 weeks now, I can see its lightening effects but it's just not effective for my dark circles(Not sure if it's because I don't apply it too much around my eyes when washing my face since it really stings.)
Thank you! More powers! :-*
don't use lightening soaps to your under eye area. the skin under our eyes is a lot more frail compare to the rest of our skin. it will definitely dry out your under eye in no time.
have you tried using eye creams?
i remember lisa eldridge saying that kojic acid is good in lightening skin. (check out her video on youtube, she is my favorite utube guru!) if there is an eye cream that you that has kojic acid as an ingredient then you ought to try it. i'm just not sure but i think there's no way for any eye cream product to get rid of under eye circles.
if you are really desperate enough, you can try having the laser surgery to have it removed. based on what i know kasi, dark under eye or eye bags result in lack of collagen e.
hi there! :) where can i buy this soap? can i buy this at Watsons? I want to try this one for I have acne as well as acne marks >_<
yes, it's available at Watsons
Hello there! Ask ko lang if this soap is also effective in lightening scars sa knee especially if you acquired it years ago? I have been using kasi ung kojie san but I think it only does whitening effects but not lightening dark spots as what it's box stated.. Thank you in advance :)
Owmyyyy, I tried Kojic Acid soap 3days ago then I noticed pimples around my chest and eyebrows. But I didn't have any before I used it so I searched reviews bout it then I Found your Reviews Thankyou for your informations... anyway I would like to ask is this soap effective to body WHITENING?
nakakaremove din sya ng whiteheads and blackheads???
no,it won't remove whiteheads/blackheads.
those are already deep in your pores. you might want to try scrubbing if that's the case.
after three days kong gamitin yung soap bigla akong nagkaroon ng malaking pimple sa side ng ilong ko. -_____- ganun ba talaga? what do you think? should I continue using the soap??
awwww....
if u think its the culprit then don't use it na.
iba iba ang skin ng tao.what works for me might not work for you e
use it on your body for the meantime
first time ko ata tong ginamit, nagkapimple ata ako?ewan dq na mtandaan bigla din kasing nawala agad.. hehe just give your skin time to adjust to this product, gang ngaun gamit ko to, nahapdian din ako dito pero after ilang days or 1 week nawala naman.. and super ganda na ng effect, nakakakinis ng muka hehehe

Iam 24 years old and still suffering from acne..It all started when I used ponds facial wash when I was in highschool..then the rest is history.i tried many products like olay,kojie san ,etc. When I read your review of kojie san and recommend diamond orange peel soap,I decided to buy one and try it.I'm using it for 3 days now and hoping for positive effects..
do u know if this soap is available anywhere in the US?
may age. limit po ba toh?? pde ba toh sa 15 yrs old ?
I love this soap!! It helps with my acne problem as well as lightening some mosquito bite marks on my legs.
I've been using this soap too since I saw it here maybe a couple of weeks already and I used it together with Human Heart Nature's Balancing Facial Wash and I can say that there's an improvement with my skin since I also suffered from ACNE when I started to work maybe 2-3 years ago and I'm hoping that this will help me... As of now I got some pimple occasionally when I have period or stressed (few hours of sleep). Thanks to you for introducing it to us. Good luck to you and your blogs. P.S When I wanted to buy something I tried to look if you already posted a blog about it! <3 More Powers!!! <3
I want to try this soap! I hope effective sa face q i have lots of acne and acne mark. Kelangan po b my moisturizer after magwash ng face
