This soap helps cleanses your body and face deeply which kills bacteria and helps brighten dark spots including hyperpigmentation and helps even out your skin tone. This is ideal for those who have dark elbows, knees & bikini area. This soap can be used for both face & body. I use this 3x a week on my body and I can definitely say it has even out my skin tone & helped with my dark elbows & knees. I use this soap with a soap pouch.
