Likas papaya soap for whitening skin and cure acne

Have you tried papaya soap before? You'll be surprise how good it is. I came to know about this product while searching for skin whitening solutions. The best brand that was recommended is Likas Papaya Soap. It is the first pure organic herbal soap of Philippines and has even won 2 awards:
  • 2003 National Consumers Quality Award for Hall of Fame Best Papaya Herbal Soap
  • 2003 Asia-Pacific Excellence Awards for Outstanding Papaya Herbal Soap

Upon seeing how much good reviews it got from the users (read from forums) I've decided to give it a try. If you see the user ratings in Amazon, all of them rate it with 5 stars. Wow, rite? You can click on the link or image to see it in Amazon. Anyway, here are the pros and cons I've discovered:


Pros (Benefits of using papaya soap):

  1. Even out skin tone(most important to me) and also whitens the skin a little bit. It might have been the exfoliating effect of papaya enzymes
  2. Skin feels smoother and gives natural glow to it. If you have dull complexion, do give it a try. The gentle exfoliating effect will help to remove the dull skin and replace it with a radiant glow instead.
  3. Lightens pimple scar, freckles and dark spots (dark underarm, joints, etc). I used to have dark tan on some parts of my back due to sun burn from swimming in the afternoon a year ago(never do this, it burns) . After using it for around 2 weeks, the skin tone on my back seems to even out. Two thumbs up for this :D.
  4. Helps in treating acne problem and to reduce redness. If used on face, remember to apply moisturiser as it is drying. If not, it might cause more breakouts. There are a few user with bad acne problem mentioned that after using papaya soap on their skin (face), they have lesser breakouts. You can read about it here: Likas Papaya Soap review.

Cons (Disadvantages or side effect of papaya soap):

  1. Drying. Remember to apply moisturizer if you have dry skin and avoid using it on the face if you have sensitive skin.
