Not everything we use on our body can be used on our face. Our face is still more prone to irritation and it deserves more pampering to avoid acne breakouts, dryness, or oiliness. This usually becomes a problem for people who use skin lightening products on their bodies as whitening soaps typically contain strong ingredients. Good news for Kojie.san users, though! The beauty brand now has a complete range of face care products that are especially formulated for the face.

Each product in their face care range includes Zero Pigment Light and HydroMoist — Kojie.san’s latest skin innovations that zero-in on dark spots, scars, and hyperpigmentation, which locks in moisture for a light skin that stays soft and supple.

Here’s a look at the latest additions in the line:

Foam Wash with HydroMoist

This foam wash gently cleanses stressed skin. This light and airy facial foam wash helps keep the skin looking fresh and radiant with the help of its Zero Pigment Light Technology – a unique skin lightening delivery system that bonds the potent active ingredient to ensure that it is absorbed by and activated in your skin and areas where it is most needed.

Recommendable for people with stressed and tired skin, and those who have dark spots, age spots, scars, melasma, and hyperpigmentation.

Tried using it in the morning after waking up and at night before going to sleep for a week. So far, so good!

Facial Wash with HydroMoist

Deep-cleansing is possible with this soap-based facial wash which effectively removes sebum and other impurities from your skin, helping to prevent acne break-outs, whiteheads, and blackheads with Zero Pigment Light Technology.

Recommendable for those with oily skin, whiteheads, blackheads, and hyperpigmentation.

Facial Cleansing Gel with HydroMoist

Compared with the first two facial wash products mentioned, this one is gel-based but it also effectively removes dirt, makeup, fine dust, and excess surface oils without stripping away the skin’s natural moisture. Like the facial wash and foam wash, the Kojie.San SKin Lightening Facial Cleansing Gel with HydroMoist also uses Zero Pigment Light Technology.

This one is recommendable for all skin types.

Beauty Wipes

A go-to product for people who are always on the go! These wipes easily cleanses skin by helping wipe away dirt, oil, and make-up – including waterproof mascara without any sting on the eyes. It also has Vitamin C to help your skin “glow”. Best part is that it doesn’t leave a sticky feeling, so it’s okay to use even when you don’t have access to running water. Resealable pack makes it easy to bring anywhere you go, too!

I personally prefer washing my face with water but this is a quick fix whenever I feel too tired to fully cleanse my face.

Aside from these, there are also other facial care products – from toners to creams, that you can use as part of your daily skincare routine:

• Face Cream SPF15 with HydroMoist: A day cream which helps protect the skin from the sun while visibly reducing dark spots and blemishes. It’s also silicone-free and it also uses Zero Pigment Light Technology. (Tip: Always put sunscreen even when you’re at home.
• Face Cream with HydroMoist: This face cream can help your skin stay moisturized and well-hydrated while lightening the skin tone and visibly reducing dark spots and blemishes. It’s also said to help restore and strengthen the skin’s barrier to address fine lines and wrinkles.

• Pore Minimizing Toner with HydroMoist: The toner for those who prefer a matte look! It’s a skin-purifying toner which minimizes the appearance of enlarged pores due to oily skin. It won’t dry out your skin because it’s also acohol-free. (Note, however, that it does not minimize it completely. This is a feat that can usually be addressed by lasers or other treatments, according to my derma.)
• Cleanser + Toner with HydroMoist: For those who prefer a glass skin look, this toner’s dual-action formula that cleanses skin from deep-seated dirt is a good fit. It’s also said to boost hydration to help protect the skin from loss of moisture. Also alcohol-free!

While skin lightening isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, I’m still thankful for such products that have helped me lighten my huge scars when I got involved in a road accident a few years ago. I started using Kojie.san then and I can attest that it has helped not only my skin, but also my confidence. Messaging-wise, I appreciate how Kojie.san highlights “choice” rather than implying how fair skin is more preferrable than any other skin tone. At the end of the day, it’s our choice to pick what specific products we want and how we can #CommandBeauty. 🙂
