This is Asantee Papaya Honey Soap. It is a brightening soap, and for the ingredients, it contains coconut palm oil, honey, it contains papaya extract, it has vitamin A and vitamin C. As someone that does not really like too much, you know, skincare routine on the face, I just prefer using brightening soap and face cream. This is what I've been using for weeks now, and here are my honest reviews on this Asantee soap. Asantee Papaya Honey Soap is a very good soap, especially if one meets, um, the original one, because the fake is too much out there. And if one meets the original one, it is very, very effective without using body lotion. Asantee Papaya Honey Soap is not a bleaching soap, it is a brightening soap.

I'm not gonna lie, it lathers well and it is very foamy. The soap even lathers into smooth and rich bubbles that penetrate into the skin to fight acne and aging. This soap is very good. Now, Asantee has a strong scent. It has this overpowering scent. In short, it has no nice scent like that. The scent is not so nice. And also, it's not suitable for oily skin types and acne-prone skin. No, they can't use it because it's going to damage their skin the more. They're going to have breakouts. It's because I have dry skin, that is why I can use it. Oily skin type can't use it, or anyone that their skin barrier is damaged, they cannot use it because it's…
