Product Review: BELO Intensive Whitening Bar

Summer just ended and it left me with a pretty gross reminder: uneven skin tone. I’ve also always wanted “fairer” (not Snow White levels) skin ever since the world began. Haha. I often write about skin whitening products and procedures because I want to include you (no choice kayo haha) in my journey to better, fairer skin. Don’t get me wrong, I love the skin I was born in! But I’m exposed to the harmful rays of the sun everyday and it damages my skin. It results to “dirty” tan (a term my sister use to define ugly tan not golden, surfer tan) and I hate it. 

When it comes to skin, only trust the experts. There are hundreds of products in the market that are in essence great, but in reality are just false promises. So when I was asked to try out BELO’s newest product, Intensive Whitening Bar, I had to say yes!

I’m sure you all know the woman behind the brand, Dra. Vicki Belo. If you don’t, then it’s time to get out of the cave you are in. Her authority in beauty and health is so much, that every Filipino now believes that “If it comes from Belo, it must be effective.” Her latest product innovation in skin whitening is Belo Intensive Whitening Bar (Kojic Acid + Tranexamic Acid). This whitening bar boasts of a unique combination of today’s two most powerful whitening actives – Kojic Acid (organic compound that produces tyrosinase and melanin giving skin a visibly lighter appearance) and Tranexamic Acid (peptide proven to inhibit inflammation and melanin formation that targets stubborn dark spots).

So I tried the soap for 1 week and here are my observations: 

1. It was surprisingly gentle on the skin! I have acute skin asthma and skin whitening products usually triggers my allergies, this did not! It’s a milestone in my skin history, really. Amazing. 
2. I love the sweet scent and that doesn’t smell strong. 
3. One should not soak the bar 'coz it might melt easily. 
4. I noticed my dark spots lightening already after just a week of usage! My problem area is the skin below my butt (the one affected when you seat), now it’s lighter. Yey! 

This early, this bar soap has already been taking the country by storm, proving that Belo’s product is indeed, 64% more effective than other products with Kojic Acid alone, as evidenced by clinical studies conducted. Best thing about this is the price! So much difference for just P59.75. Try it and experience the BELO magic!


Belo Intensive Whitening Bar is available at all leading supermarkets, department stores, and drugstores nationwide at P59.75. ;)
