According to Healthline, the following are the benefits of Kojic Acid:

- It lightens visible sun damage, age spots, or scars.
- It has an anti-aging effect on the skin.
- It contains antimicrobial properties that help fight off common types of bacteria even in small amounts or dilutions. 
- It can also treat bacterial acne.
- It may lighten acne scars that haven't faded yet.
- It has antifungal properties that may help in treating athlete's foot, ringworm, candidiasis, and yeast infections.

Since it has a lot of health benefits primarily in preventing both bacterial and fungal infections and has proven to be safe in a small concentration of 1%, it is widely used in cosmetics or personal care products like soaps, lotions, and other beauty products. However, there are reports that it may cause skin irritations and discomforts like contact dermatitis which can be seen and felt as itchiness, rashes, swelling on the skin, and pain. It was reported that contact dermatitis and other skin irritations would occur if a person has used a product with more than 1% of Kojic Acid content.

With all honesty, the tingling sensation, dryness, and itchiness that I felt while using some brands of  Kojic Acid beauty products prompted me to stop. I love the benefits of Kojic Acid but the cons outweigh the pros.

In December 2018, I had a chance to get two bars of  Marvella Piel Kojic Acid Soap because the brand was one of the sponsors of #BKSMomsPasko2018. At first, I was hesitant to use it due to my unpleasant experiences with some Kojic Acid soaps that I tried before. Then one day, I had no soap to use so I had no choice but to cut a small portion of Marvella Piel Kojic Acid Soap (I didn't want to put the whole bar into waste just in case it won't suit me.), and used it as a body soap. What I would usually do was to soap my body then let the suds stay on it for a while before rinsing it off. To my surprise, I didn't feel any irritation or itchiness! Awesome! Then when I rinsed it off already, my skin was soft, smooth, and not dry at all. Due to that amazing feeling, I was never afraid to use it on my face. There was no tingling sensation, pain, or discomfort. I saw a difference in my skin tone just after initial use.  Lumiit din ang pores ko. I felt that my skin was super clean but silky. Since the soap was creamy, it was a wise decision that I cut a small portion so that the whole soap would not melt right away. Although its consistency was quite soft, hindi siya sobrang mabilis maubos. I used it for the whole week then and saw a huge difference in my skin.

I really enjoy using it until now although I admit that I use it two to three times a week only on my face and body as an alternative to the soap that I use regularly because I am not after its fast whitening effect. When I feel that my skin is dull, then I use it again consistently for a week.

I highly recommend Marvella Piel Kojic Acid Soap. It's available on the following sites:

Due to my best experience in using this soap, I am now interested to try Marvella Piel's other products like the Korean Glass Skin Set, 24K Gold Serum with Gold Dust, and Tomato Skin Care Line.
