Finally have some even tone skin. The product is a bit drying but that’s expected with kojic acid.
Ingrid F.
I used this for inflammation due to ingrown n it has definitely helped the inflammation go down.

Love it love it love it! It’s the only thing that actually works on my skin!! From the first day of using this product my skin is so much clearer my girlfriend was insisting I share it with her, evens out skin tone and eradicates pimples before they even appear, you can also use all over the body! And it works ! Guys that’s what’s the amazing thing about it and I have super sensitive skin! 11/10

This soap is comparable to the original Kojic San soap, but for some reason I don’t see a difference like I would with the original one

I have been using MF for more than a year and I totally love it for clearing up the hyperpigmentation on my forehead.

I have been using the pure kojic acid soap maximum strength for about a year now and I love it! I use it primarily for my body but mainly in my dark problem areas such as my underarms, inner thighs, and even my chest and neck! This soap has been a great help of lightening all of those areas and even getting rid of some bumps between my inner thighs that I have always struggled with. As someone who constantly orders this soap every month I genuinely recommend it to anyone looking to lighten some problem areas!
Nasrin E.
The soap smells really good, not as drying as I thought it was. I’ve been using it on my knees but I don’t have any results yet as it’s only been 3 weeks. Hopefully I’ll have results in the next 3 months.
Cecille S.
In just two weeks of use, My dark spot in my elbow were gone.
Julie K.
Pure Kojic Acid Soap (Maximum Strength) is a great product! I use it primariy on my face and neck. It has helped even out my skin tone and clear up breakouts. After I wash my face, I create a lather and leave it on my face for a bit before rinsing it off. I would purchase this soap again.
Sherell J.
First, I wasn't expecting my order to arrive as quick as it did and the packaging upon arrival was all in tact as well. I used the soap now for a week and noticed a big difference on the third day. I use the soap mornings and nights. I really like this product. Thanks
fatimah j.
Unfortunately, it didn’t work. Maybe I need to use more than one bar of the product.

Hi MarieFrance, no I did not wear flip flops and I’m working from home, so I don’t leave home much. And when I do, I wear sunscreen.
My underarms and knees do not get exposed to the sun at all either as I wear long sleeve tops and pants. I used the soap on these areas too and there have been no difference at all either.
Yasmine J.
My knees are dark, it took 3 weeks to fade, I use a heavy moisturizer (Shea butter and I scrub my skin too)
it really help to have a even tone skin.
Safe on dark skin ✨
Shahirah N.
8 weeks since I started using the MF soap. No difference at all.. dark toes are still dark. Same for my dark knees and dark joints. I diligently used it twice a day everyday for 8 weeks, wore sunscreen and body lotion, used konjac sponge. Yet.. very disappointed with the results. Website said it takes 8 weeks for maximum strength and after 8 weeks, I do not see any difference at all.
Nia I.
After experiencing an adverse reaction to a facial wash I was using, my friend recommended that I try Marie France’s Kojic Acid Soap and I’m so happy that I listened! Within 3 months, my dark spots cleared up and my skin is literally glowing! I highly recommend this product!
Monica G.
Sorry. I really want to adore this product but I bought it for chronically dark knees and after weeks and weeks...Nada. Zero difference. I will continue to use it until it’s gone but I am quite sure, like everything else, it will continue to do nothing. Nothing except charge me $15 for a bar of soap. What it has taught me is I need to come up with a money making racket, as well.

*update review*
Photo on the left was taken on the 3rd week of use, photo on the right was taken today after 8 weeks of use. According to the website, it takes 8 weeks for maximum strength, but unfortunately I have yet to see any difference at all. Very disappointed! I used it religiously. Twice a day, wore sunscreen, applied ample amount of body lotion, used konjac sponge to exfoliate. Did everything I could and yet.. zero difference after 8 long weeks. From the collage above, it actually seems like my feet became darker. Too sad to take pictures of the rest of my dark joints since they have not gotten any lighter. Hope someone would come to my rescue and help me figure this out. I committed myself by purchasing a ton of bar soaps here but now I’m second guessing if it will ever work in lightening my dark areas at all.
Rosalyn S.
I have been using the soap since 2016 along with the tone perfecting creme and there has been an obvious change. It definitely lightened and smoothened my skin. Will definitely keep on using this.
Thanks Marie France for your service!

Excellent soap !
Monica P.
I like the soap but I did not like how long it took to get it!
Catherine D.
I have combination to oily skin. Love the smooth feeling of my face after using the soap. The downside is it melt fast when water is present. Will buy again!
Alisa D.
i’ve been using this soap for about a month now and i have yet to see any major changes in my skin. none of my hyperpigmentation has been lightened and i still keep breaking out. it’ hasn’t done much. also i had some issues with shipping and didn’t receive it for about 2 weeks after it was supposed to be delivered.
Shahirah N.
Starting using this soap on Sep 1. It’s exactly 3 weeks now; I noticed some micro-peeling on my skin. I have medium brown skin, with really really dark joints (underarms, knee caps, knuckles, toes, inner thighs, bum). They are at least 10-15 darker than the rest of my body, and have been that way for as long as I can remember :( I got to know about MF online and ordered the soap 3 weeks ago. Haven’t really noticed any difference yet so far, the photo is of my super dark knee cap. But I will be using this soap continuously and really hope to see a difference soon. Will be ordering more bars and my first bar is running low. Will definitely review again if I see my super dark area lightening :) Rosey has been very friendly too. Customer service is great!
Jameika R.
The soap has so much color that it stains everything and does nothing for my skin. So sad I bought 2 bars thinking it would work.
Dory R.
The best soap i ever used please continue to make good quality soap thank you
Justin F.
Takes long to work
Vivian S.
Everything was fine with this bar , I haven’t seen any results yet since I only had it for a few weeks. One
Thing I did not like is that my hands and the parts in my body where I use the soap gets really dry to the touch,
Chimmy N.
Nice soap...a little drying. Have only used for about a month. However, so far so good.
omolayo O.
I’ve been using this product for years. I love how it has improved the texture of my skin. All of my dark spots from acne have faded. My skin glows !!!
Donneika B.
Working in the second bar as of now, but I haven’t seen any results.
leonida A.
I like the product I think it’s work apparently I’m going to order soon thank you
Noluthando D.
Great. With use consistently, you can definitely see the results!
Lisanne H.
I didn’t really take any before and after pictures but I didn’t really notice that much of a difference. I didn’t feel any tingle that I read I would feel. It did dry my skin but nothing more than usual and was able to moisturize using my regular lotion
Janice C.
After just 14 days I can tell Its working for my dark spots, even my skin tone/radiance, its definitely lighter. It does not melt easily like the others that I’ve tried, so a bar would last 3-4 weeks. Its very drying though resulting to itchiness especially at night so I need to use a very hydrating skin balm or lotion to help
ease. Not a deal breaker as I see the efficacy. I’d continue for sure.
Chareese M.
This stuff is awesome and has helped a lot with the hyperpigmentation I get from having exzema
Franklin M.
I love Marie France's Kojic Acid soap and have used it for years now. It makes my skin smooth and gives and even tone.
Dory R.
Tha Kojic soap really helps dry my pimples and even out my skintone,its worth the price
Branda J.
I actually don’t even use this everyday but it’s working faster than I expected. My process however is different than what was suggested. I followed a YouTuber who has used the product before. I wet my skin with warm to hot water to open up my pores. I then wet the bar of soap and rub it on my more melanated areas. Next, I scrub it with a soft bristled brush meant for skin. By the time I am done scrubbing an ample amount, I rinse with water then wash the rest of my body with my regular body wash. These are my results after 3 weeks without using it every single day. I would say I use it about 4-5 times a week. I am more than ecstatic with my results and will be ordering more soon!
Elise H.
It seems like it’s not working, I don’t know if I’m even using it right since it says to massage into body I wish there was a video to show how to use it.
Jo'Vanna W.
Didn't really give me any results , skin still looks the same .
Seja H.
As you can see, I had an acne scar on my cheek. I definitely pick at them, and my skin doesn’t like that. On its own, they usually take months to go away. I used this soap on my face in the shower for literally two weeks and the mark is GONE. I haven’t been able to use any of my normal skincare since the pandemic occurred, but this was all I needed to clear up my skin. That’s definitely a plus!! One bar of soap replaced my acne treatments, face cleanser, and body wash. I use it all over my body and think it’s GREAT. It does dry your skin out, so make sure to moisturize. A VERY small price to pay for clear skin all over. I’ve used it on my inner thighs and it’s been effective, but not as effective as it is on my face. This is probably because the discolouration is worse on my thighs. I’m planning on purchasing the toning cream or lotion to see if that will help even out my thighs in addition to the soap. If you buy anything from here, GET THE SOAP. Amazing! The customer service is also great. If you have a problem, they’re quick to reply and solve it for you. <3
Elsie M.
Still testing it, for now it’s OK!
Seing result slowly but surely

I’ve been a loyal customer to Marie france. I especially LOVE the Kojic soap. It has changed my life. In the beginning of the year, I had a very bad breakout from an allergic reaction to a clay face mask that I used. It really knocked my confidence. I would always hide behind makeup because of how embarrassed I was at my skin. I was always using the Kojic soap, but not consistently. After my breakout, I started using the soap consistently, and started seeing results within a week. The scars began fading very quickly. Within 3 months, my skin is pretty much flawless!
This soap has changed my life and has restored my confidence. I have nothing but good things to say about this soap. Also, the customer service is amazing!
See photos attached.
Thank you so much for such an incredible product! I will forever be a loyal customer.
Isioma O.
I had terrible acne breakout when I relocated to the US for graduate studies in the fall of 2019 and this left me with lots of dark spots on my face. I was initially skeptical about buying this soap for fear of it being too harsh for my skin. Alas! It worked just perfectly! Picture on the left was taken on April 20 while the one on the right May 26, just 10 days after I received my order. The soap is amazing for my body as well, I love the glow of my skin tone now! Definitely a staple!
Marielena M.
It's a pic of my right breast, pigmentation that wont go away.
Avnik P.
Excellent product
KELLY H.
I haven't used the product very long but it does appear to be working.
ihinosen o.
It was initially tingly but as your body adjusts it become mild. I have experienced evening out of my skin tone and even received compliments. I’ll be ordering more to take more pictures.
Elizabeth A.
I have used the soap off and on for about a year. Now I am using it every morning as part of my facial routine. It has been about six weeks, and I am beginning to see some evening of my skin tone. I bought three bars, so I am going to use them and see what I think after that. So far, so good.
Medda K.
I just love it, it works and leaves lasting results.
Ternish F.
I’ve been using it for 5 weeks now and ehh it’s okay . My acne have cleared up kinda but not all the way yet.
Amreen M.
Didn’t help at all. Waste of money. Used twice a day for 2 months.
Olivia P.
I don't have any before and after photos but I'm not sure yet if this soap works to fade away my hyperpigmentation. I have been using the Kojic acid soap for 4 weeks now. Will continue using until I've finished the product and then I will decide if I will repurchase.
emani h.
loveeeee this soap, I recommend it to everyone for acne, hyperpigmentation, enlarged pores, really everything. Works really fast and gives you consistent results. Everyone should own a bar of Marie France Kojic acid soap. I couldnt live without it.
Anela P.
I ordered this soap a few weeks back and I love it. If you’re looking for an overnight fix, this is not the soap for you. It’s slow and steady. I will keep using it for sure.
marree m.
I have been using this soap for several years now and it never disappoints. I go on and off of it and maybe I should start thinking of staying on it with reduced usage to maintain healthy skin care routine. It had been a while since I used it but I had a bad breakout as seen on pic 1. But after about a week of using the soap twice daily it has cleared up nicely as seen on pic 2 and I am now using it once daily. The results have always been amazing so I know where to go when my face needs the glow. Love this product .
Laure C.
This soap really changed my life. I struggled with dark marks on my arms and back and within a month of using it cleared up my skin significantly!
Sariah S.
I haven’t use it consistently to see results on my knees
Adam A.
took time but reached in perfect & good customer service. I am buying again
Aurelie S.
Part of nailing a successful beauty regime is having the right products. Marie France Kojic soap has been part of my skin lightening regime for the last 10 months. It has definitely contributed in me reaching my goals. (Before and after pics attached, taken one year apart)
My skin did have to build an endurance to the soap. At first, I was barely able to keep it on a few minutes. Now I can easily lather it on for a good 5 minutes before rinsing. This soap is my must have. It makes a-day-around-the-pool-tan disappear when used at the end of the day. This Kojic acid soap plays a big role in my skin goals. It is strong, it works and it makes my skin glow. I am a client for life.
(Warning: using this soap to exfoliate or using it along another acidic beauty product may cause eczema on sensitive skin.)
Happy C.
This soap permanently removed severe blotchiness on my chest in the past. I am now doing general coloration. So far I am very pleased and will continue to ONLY use Marie France skin care line. God bless this company, and best of luck to you on your skin care journey.
Maiya H.
I love this soap! I use it about 3-4 times a week and leave it on for max 5 minutes and follow up with the mask. I see results in about two weeks. I’ve tried other brands but always come back to this one and I even have my friends trying it too! It leaves your skin super dry which is why I don’t use it everyday but I use bio oil or Shea butter to moisturize so it’s not a huge problem for me. I highly recommend trying the soap, scrub, or cream if this is your first time using Marie France products. Use consistently and be patient with results and you’ll see a difference in your problem areas.
Cynthia O.
I love the product, I always keep some handy!

Konjic Soap
I regret that I don't have before and after pictures.
I have always had under eye circles, dark patch around my mouth and chin and I also have hyperpigmentation on both of my cheeks. I have religiously used the soap for 2 weeks now. First week, I started off with once a day and now, I am using the soap twice a day.
I must say, I am impressed! My face feels nice and smooth, and I have noticed a difference on my face.
Azzia H.
OMG this soap is the best product that I've ever used on my skin. I've been using this soap for less than 2 months and the results are amazing. I'm in aww rite now and I'm overly anxious to see what my skin will look like in about 2 months from now. My results are drastic results and I can't believe that this kojic acid soap gave me hope. I have hyperpigmentation on my face and I tried every product u can think of to rid the dark spots. Now, thanks to my kojic acid soap I see results immediately. No BS. THE RESULTS ARE VERYREAL. I will recommend this soap to anyone who don't believe
Hannah C.
This is the only facial soap and wash that works best for me. i have been suffering from acne since highschool and this is the only soap that solved my nightmare now that i am an adult. it did not only clear my acne but it also brightens my skin and shrinks my pores.
James N.
I can’t live without this soap ever since I discovered it, it’s cleanse my skin really good!!! Just gives you that fresh skin feeling and allows your lotion, oil to absorb better
Noluthando D.
Great for removing dark spots and evening out skin tone. Need to be consistent. Overall great product.
Ro I.
Product always arrives promptly. Soap is really good, has cleared out my skin so well. Definately recommend it.
Badia G.
I like how my skin feels after i use it.
Wafiiqah S.
Great product. Loved it. But you need to use it 2 times daily for a period of 6 months to see results and along with a skin whitening lotion. Great for acne-prone skin and scarring. It even presents cysts and whiteheads.
Gayathri L.
The soap has not caused any allergies so far. It is a bit drying but nothing a good lotion can’t fix. Too soon to see any lightening. Good tip to make it last longer is to cut it into smaller pieces and store it out of the shower.
Gheradeysia h.
I regret that I don't have before and after photos but I feel the product is working to lighten my skin. I use twice a day and I only use it on my body because it is a little harsh for my face. I will be purchasing the tone perfecting lotion to help the process along, but overall I have noticed clearer, brighter skin!
This H.
This soap is supposed to be maximum strength but it takes 8 weeks to see results. The same as any other kojic acid soap so what is the difference? The description says not to leave on for more than 15 seconds but honestly I've left it on for 10 minutes and I've didn't tell any burn, tingle or peeling skin. I paid over $16 for a bar of soap that doesn't do what it says. I could get 3 bars of soap for cheaper than one bar of a Marie France soap. I'm disappointed.
Monika R.
I love this soap and will order next time again and recommended couple of friends too.
Yasmin A.
I used to use kojie san before I found this, which didn't do anything for my skin. This is aunthetic and has really cleared and toned my skin. Love it!
Gabrielle W.
This soap is working wonders for my skin! In just about 4 weeks, my skin is smooth and glowing!
Mary Jane A.
I have used this soap for more than a year now, it makes my skin lighter,smoother,and radiantly glowing. I have tried different kojic soap but Marie france kojic soap AMAZED me!
Aasia A.
I have tried perhaps 3-4 “whitening soaps” from amazon. All of them were simply “meh”. This is the ONLY product that I have repurchased without any hesitation. It truly whitens any “darker” areas (elbows, knees, between thighs) and yes even face (especially if you have scars). I even used it on my face for 7 consecutive days and noticed my skin actually whitened but in a very healthy way. Otherwise, just using it 3-4 times a week still gives a bright glow! I am truly hooked! (TIP—> if you do not have sensitive skin, leave the soap on for about 4-5min)
Tiffany D.
I have used this soap for more than 4 years. I even ordered and had it shipped internationally when I was teaching abroad. This soap has maintained and encouraged skin cell turnover, and it permits easier penetration of skin fade creams from my dermatologist. Also makes shaving effortless due to pre-exfoliation. Always use sunscreen or it will worsen hyperpigmentation.
Maria A.
Tengo melasma y he estado usando este jabón durante 4 semanas. Ya noté una diferencia
LB
I used this product primarily on my elbows and knees. It works. After three weeks I saw results. My right elbow is almost the color of my arm. My left elbow has always been far darker (I scraped it more as a child), but it too has also faded. My knees look more even in pictures.
WARNING TO THE WISE: use a thick moisturizer. My elbows were fine until week three when they started to dry out so significantly that the skin on the outside of my elbows (not the elbow itself) started to crack and scab. Nothing too dramatic, but still enough to cause slight hyperpigmentation, which defeats the purpose. But I!’ been putting a Shea/cocoa butter cream on it and the hyperpigmentation is going away.
I had to stop using this product after three weeks due to the aforementioned issues, but am still pleased with the results. I will return to tackle my left elbow in the winter months. Will only use it once a day instead of twice.
Caribeandiva
Very smooth shopping experience. Fast shipping! The kojic acid soap is very concentrated. The lather is so rich and smooth. Better than any other kojic acid soap I’ve used. I’m about to place another order.
anonymous
My skin has a glow. It smoothe. I have been only using it a month. So check back
James
Can’t live without it

Very fast shipping. Happy with product.

Great product. It works!
Jasmine Davis
This product gets five stars with me the best product ever for acne and hyperpigmentation. The soap also have a nice pleasent smell as well.
Terri- Lou Mcleod
I have seen improvements already with the soap I used it twice a day ,i love the Tone Perfecting Cream it is a great moisturizer and i will b making my second purchase today, thank you Marie Frances your skin products are great.

Still waiting to see the results.. Been 2 weeks so far with no distinct effects.. Though instructions mentions 8 weeks to see the change.. Will wait..
Bubs
I've tried many skin lightening soaps with kojisan being one of them and this is the only soap that really works . my back had terrible dark spots from previous bacne which meant I could never wear strapless or spaghetti strap shirts. All of that has changed. On my second order now will keep using it to get even better results. I recommend using exfoliating gloves or some type of scrubbing brush. I saw faster results that way but to each of its own! :D
Sarah
So some marks on my face have begun to fade. I was hoping it would lighten my skin tone but hasn’t done that yet. I’ve only been using for two weeks though so hopefully in three months I’ll be 2-3 shades lighter.
Cheyenne Revels
I've been using it for about 4weeks and I haven't really noticed a change in my skin.
Aby
This is a great product because I use it twice a day, if I stop using it my skin cries for it.
Alisha
1.) It does dry the skin in order for the dead skin to peel away.
2.) Get a good(heavy) moisturizer.
3.) Your skin will adjust to the soap after a few uses. It works even for sensitive skin!
4.) Great for the bikini area and buttocks. Try not to let the suds get into the vagina.
5.) Dark marks and acne marks will start to clear after about a week of use. Your skin may break out a bit more because toxins are being drawn out from the skin. No need to worry.
Lastly, some mention to avoid sunlight while using this soap. I doubt that applies to everyone but if you're unsure, buy a good sunscreen.
2019 UPDATE!
They need to LOWER THE PRICE on this product since it's not as potent as it used to be. Not only that, it seems as if they're shrinking the product. UNACCEPTABLE! Stop selling the people inferior products.
