Got the soap on Tuesday. Been using it twice a day since yesterday.
Not expecting miracles but really hoping that it will help to fade my melasma !! Will report in a couple weeks

I don't know anything about any gel.

I wouldn't suggest putting this soap near the eyes but I'm not an expert on that. I have dark spots under my eyes as well and I use something called Zia Eye Cream SPF 15. It's about 20 dollars at the most and it works pretty well.

How's your skin looking jose,still using likas?

ondine · 02-02-2010, 10:52 AM

Bluebird87, if your hyperpigmentation is due to a hormonal imbalance, your melanocytes will continue to be hyperactive & the problem will persist. Please see an endocrinologist & balance your hormones from the inside. Then, you'll be able to treat the existing excess melanin & get real results w/o the problem returning faster than you can treat it. As you take whatever hormonal supplements your Dr. prescribes, use the Likas papaya soap. There's a prescription cream called Triluma (contains both HQ & RA) that is particularly effective for treating hyperpigmentation due to melasma. Good luck to you!

ive been using papaya soap since.. 21/01/10

haha. on my face and on my body. my face used to be darker than the back of my hands. and now they're the same color

i guess my face lightens faster. it does lighten me, i guess.

and i haven't gone out yet since that day, so i haven't face the sun yet. i am going too, soon. and i haven't found the best moisturizer with SPF.

and oh i use it on my body cos i wanna lighten the dark areas. and the ones on my knees peeled off yesterday.

i really think it works

Nah, I use this glutathione mixed with kojic acid soap and it appears to be working even better than the Likas. It cost me a total of $25 for a bar though ($10 shipping) but I would say it was money well spent.

I would still recommend the Likas though.

helo everybody!read all the threads.im surprised that most of you are into Likas Papaya..im from the Philippines and most of the people there also use Likas papaya.its a popular brand there if you want a cheaper product..it does lighten ur skin..bit to some it takes some time,some faster,.it depends maybe on your skin type or how its the soap is reactingto your skin or vice versa..ihave Likas papaya soap.i usually buy them at Filipino stores..also cheap..most of the Filipino stores sell them so you dont have to have order it or have them shipped....
hope the info helps..

Hi jose..i think the swiss glutathione soap is similar to this ...except it doesnt have kojic acid in it ..that was ok(lightend me a shade) but didnt like the texture it left my skin..im in the uk i think this one will cost me more!

ondine · 02-15-2010, 04:07 PM

Glad to see you're still around, Jose! You really began a trend here with the LIKAS. I'm addicted to it. I loooove that squeaky clean skin feeling it gives me.

i have visited my endocronologist but he said he cant do anything about it

Jose · 02-23-2010, 10:10 AM

Hi Ondine, Karen and everyone else

I'm personally not using the Likas anymore, nor am I using the Neoceuticals. I'm not saying anything bad about them but I found products that has worked even better for me. They are more expensive but well worth it.

What I'm using now is the glutathione soap I posted ($25.00 including shipping) along with Obagi Professional-C serum 20% ($92.50).

I tried to take a pic with my phone but the quality is terrible, I'll have one up as soon as I can though. My face is much clearer now and the Obagi has made it incredibly smooth as well. High price but well worth it. Plus the site I got it from comes with a 60 day money back guarantee so there really is nothing to lose.

I'm actually taking advantage of that and getting a refund on my last unopened Neoceuticals. Once again, the Neoceuticals is still a good product that I would still recommend but I prefer the Obagi more. This should eliminate any further speculation that I'm in any way advertising these products for any personal/financial gain.

And yea I'm still here Ondine, I have my email set up to where I get a notification every time this thread becomes active again so I come back to help those who ask. Therefore, no one needs to feel discouraged if they have a question for me. I will continue to come back to answer any questions any of you have as we are all in this skin care war together.

To both veteran and new members, please feel free to keep the questions/comments coming

ondine · 02-23-2010, 11:03 AM

Glad you're still around, Jose. I personally didn't think you were a company rep. I didn't get that smarmy vibe from you. I'm glad you've found something you like even more & I'll be watching for your update photos. As for myself, the more I use the Likas, the more I love it. It cleans like crazy.

karenannev · 02-23-2010, 01:54 PM

Hi Jose,

Congratulations on your success! And I didn't think that either, Ondine. Thanks so much for dropping back in. I can't wait to see your photos! I may as well say ditto to everything Ondine said

. I love my Likas too
