How To Use

For faster brightening results use the takesumi bright double dose method:

STEP 1: the kojic acid bar:
Moisten the bar and apply the lather to affected areas with a soft and gentle cloth or silicone exfoliating brush (fingers can be used if exfoliating has occurred more than twice a week). Massage for 30 seconds to allow the actives to penetrate the area before rinsing off.

STEP 2: the niacinamide brightening deodorant:
Follow with a generous application of deodorant to clean, dry underarms daily.

This bar may also be used on dark spot pigmentation on arms, elbows, knees, inner thighs and buttocks for effective management of pigmentation in these regions. 

Do not use in the vaginal region or to shave underarms. Do not use after shaving. Always shave in the evening and allow your skin to calm before using this product.

Note: The longer the pigmentation has been present the longer it will take to see significant improvement. Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation is a result of irritation. Brightening treatments will be unsuccessful until underlying cause of inflammation has been addressed.

For external use only. Do not use in vaginal area. Keep out of reach of children. Discontinue use if irritation develops or persists. Do not use on broken skin.

These products are downright miraculous

My 33 year old handicapped daughter has had "butt acne," or specifically, bad pustular break-outs, on her upper thighs and buttocks for at least ten years. I thought this was caused because she doesn't walk well and must sit for long periods of time. She has also had acne scattered across her back. ...

Haven't seen any major difference?

Bought this product about a month or so ago, I havent seen much difference to be honest. This item may take some time to see the results & probably requires every day use. I have not been using this every day, I would say I've used about 3x a week. Will continue to use to see if better results appea...

Works gradually over time, highly effective at brightening

Submitted 3 months ago

Works gradually over time and highly effective at brightening and evening out overall skin tone. Also quite long lasting if you take care of it and don't leave it in a puddle of water to dissolve like any other bar of soap. This has become my go-to soap year round. Just wish I could have a stockpile of it as it's quite pricey! Originally reviewed on kaianaturals.com on 12/02/2024

I've only used the product a couple of times but so far I am liking the smell and it feels like a quality soap. Will use the sample I have more often. Originally reviewed on kaianaturals.com on 08/26/2024

I can tolerate the natural scent

Submitted 3 months ago

From Ontario,CA

I switched to the Kojic bar from the Underarm bar because I could no longer tolerate the scent (Underarm bar smells like artificial-scented men's aftershave) Back to Kojic, most important I can tolerate the natural scent and gives the charcoal deodorant a booster but I haven't noticed any color change in my skin.

This bar is made of clean materials

This bar is made of clean materials and it really does the trick! I am very pleased with it! I don't have to be so embarrassed about the darker spots under my armpits anymore when playing sports and waving, or just wearing tank tops in the Sun! It's a big relief.

The effectiveness of the brightening bar is so astounding

I rarely bother to write any product review. The effectiveness of the brightening bar is so astounding I had to share my experience. I have been using this bar on my elbows and knees and the hyperpigmentation is slowing fading away. Do yourself a favor and don't sleep on Kaia Naturals products.
