Double Review: Tokyo Love Soap Premium and Original

It took me a while to write this review haha! I've been too busy with school and work that I haven't been able to just sit down and think about what to write.

FIRST: TOKYO LOVE SOAP PREMIUM

I used up the Premium version of TLS for a month or so; once in the morning and once at night. I cut the soap in half so I could use one half on my face and the other half for my body. Here's what I think:

Pros:

• Subtle rose-y scent
• Minimizes pores on my face
• Makes my skin smooth (both face and body) and feel moisturized
• clears away blackheads (temporarily? since I get blackheads again the next day)
• lathers nicely
• doesn't melt easily (is melt even the right term? hahaha) so it lasts a long time

Cons:

• VERY expensive
• after a month of using, it didn't make me a shade (or even half a shade) lighter as promised
• it gave me a little breakout in the first few days of using it

OVERALL: I like the Premium version of the soap. Though it did not make my skin lighter and it gave me a bit of a breakout in the beginning, I am still willing to use it (if I have money for it haha) because it really does stick to its other promises.

SECOND: TOKYO LOVE SOAP ORIGINAL

After I had used up the Premium, I immediately started using the Original version of TLS. I did the same thing; cut the soap in half, 1/2 for my face and the other half for my body.

Pros:

• Subtle generic soap scent (not the floral kind of scent. just that...soap kind of scent)
• clears away blackheads (temporarily? since I get blackheads again the next day)
• lathers nicely
• doesn't melt easily (is melt even the right term? hahaha) so it lasts a long time
• made my skin feel kind of supple like a baby's? (but that's just it. supple; not moisturized)

Cons:

• After using it for only TWO days, it gave me a really really really major breakout! Like, 2-3 big zits on my cheek and another 2-3 big zits on my forehead so I had to stop using it on my face
• VERY expensive
• after a month of using, it didn't make me a shade (or even half a shade) lighter as promised
• it made my skin dry and patchy. I was hoping it'd make me a shade lighter since I'm shedding but nope, no lightening here

OVERALL: I would not want to purchase or use the Original version ever again. But remember, this is just my personal experience, you might want to try it yourself.
