Silka Green Papaya Whitening Soap Review
Silka Green Papaya Whitening Soap Review
Marketed as a whitening herbal soap, Silka Green Papaya promises to whitens skin in as early as 7 days. But, can it really live up to that beauty expectation?
Well, in my unbiased opinion, the right term should be brighten. This soap certainly can't alter your natural skin tone, however, because of its exfoliant effect on the skin, it can definitely brighten ones complexion.
It's a good product to use especially when your skin has been darkened by sun exposure or you have dark spots as a result of breakouts. It does really help but not speedily. I haven't seen any significant result, not until a couple of weeks later, certainly not in just one week.
Let's scrutinize Silka Green Papaya Soap as it does have a couple of amazing ingredients.
Similar to its counterpart, the orange colored packaging Silka Papaya Soap, it's infused with papaya enzyme and vitamin E.
Papain, the green papaya enzyme's skincare benefits includes gentle skin exfoliation which helps shed off dead skin cells, resulting to a brighter even complexion without flaking. Not only that, did you know there's a lot of advantages you get from the skincare application of papaya enzyme? It has anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, as well as wound healing property. Moreover, it prevents acne and helps reduce the appearance of acne marks.
Another wonderful ingredient it has is the antioxidant Vitamin E (tocopheryl) which helps shield the skin from damaging free radicals we usually encounter from sun exposure, environmental pollution, cigarette smoke, and radiation.
An addition to Silka Green Papaya Whitening Soap that's not seen on its original version is D-panthenol.
D-panthenol is able to penetrate deep into the layers of the skin. It improves skin hydration and soothes itch as it has anti-inflammatory property. In addition, it aids in skin healing and repair.
