hydroquinone cream is better than kojic acid soap by a mile, even kojic acid cream/serums are better, kojic acid soap isnt that good it doesnt stay on your skin long enough to do anything significant and if you use kojic acid soaps itll dry the shit out of your skin

Hydroquinone isn’t ideal for Long term use. The dryness is nothing moisturiser can’t fix, I do agree that kojic serums and creams are stronger but the soaps are effective if left on for a minimum of 5 minutes.

You can use it long term but you have to cycle it. 3 Months on 1 month off and you'll be good. If he uses tret + hydro the dark spots will be gone before he even needs to cycle off.

Yea true but the thing is since its soap it can damage your skin barrier. It's basically the same thing as the soap you use to wash your hands but with kojic acid added in. Yea you could wash your face with dish soap and then use moisturizer and your skin won't be dry but its def not good for your skin. Thats why theres cleansers that are specifically for your face since the skin on the face is a lot more sensitive. I use kojic acid soap myself but only on my arms and back when I take a shower.

Yea leaving it on for longer can increase the effectiveness but still gets mogged by any cream or serum. creams stay on your skin for hours after applying. Theres also the issue with absorption, creams are made to be easily absorbed into the skin. Soaps main purpose is exfoliation not absorption it's like comparing shampoo vs leave in conditioner for moisturizing your hair.

IMO OP should use tretinoin + hydroquinone if he wants the best results as fast as possible, tret is also great for skin in general besides clearing dark spots. Though he'll need to buy it off indiamart since they are prescription only which would cost him around ~$60 if hes really broke and can't afford that then I would recommend kojic acid creams or serums instead of soap they should only cost a few bucks extra and will be a lot more effective

I didn't really read it but skimmed through it and it looks reliable. I have a indiamart source who takes cashapp and maybe paypal(most indiamart sellers require things like bank transfers which are a pain in the ass especially if you are a teenager) He's legit since i've ordered a lot of stuff from him and its pretty cheap dm me and ill give you his whatsapp number

Also forgot to mention you should get tazarotene instead of tret they do the same thing but tazarotene is a lot better it costs a bit more so it depends on your budget also make sure to order alot of tubes since the most costly thing is the 30$ shipping cost so you wanna just get a lot in one order.

IF YOU LIVE ANYWHERE IN EUROPE BESIDES UK DONT ORDER FROM INDIAMART YOUR PACKAGE WILL GET SEIZED
