Read on for a detailed review and more photos. *Drumroll* How’s everyone doing? I’m sure you’re most of you are still in search for that perfect whitening soap that will suit your skin. Are you one of those who have tried almost everything in the market but still unable to lighten skin due to stubborn dark spots? Well here’s something for you ladies and gentlemen. Belo’s most intensive whitening bar yet! Aptly named, Belo Intensive Whitening Bar.
I was browsing around my local Mercury Drug and saw their soap in an array of whitening soaps. It caught my attention because their packaging is quite a looker. With large fonts of Kojic Acid and Tranexamic Acid labeling their box.

I am a whitening addict! I mean, yea, I tried a lot of whitening soap in the market because I really really want to achieve that perfect white skin! Haha! Finally! I really really admired your skin, ang kinis and glowing! 🙂 Which makes me wanted to try this bar soap. <3 Thank you for sharing! 🙂
And oh, this is one from Belo. <3 A trusted brand when it comes to beauty products! Yay! 🙂 Hope it will work on me too. 🙂 Ganda mo Ms. Kat!
Hi Ms. Kat? How much po ito thanks. .
It's 59.75 php per bar
your welcome <3
I tried the Kojie San soap and it worked for me. But it took me two weeks to notice the results. I might try this one soon. 🙂
hi po, paano po pag di mo ginamit ng twice a day, pareho parin ba ang effect or maganda parin po ba ang magiging result ? 🙂
Ms. Kat, what are your skin secrets except from this bar and the gluta caps? Ang healthy healthy ng skin mo and glowing. kainggit. Hihi. Stay pretty!
wow your review is really true….ive been using olay and it is really for instant whitening unlike ponds..but the texture of olay is much better,,,,
will you recommend that this is better than "Royale" gluta and kojic soap??
how can i buy it wholesale for Fiji Islands???
Since my face is currently on medication, I'll try bathing my body with this instead. Hope it works on me. 😀
I tried to buy this the other day, but it was sold out. I think it really does work for a lot of people. 😀
Does it melt as quickly like the kojie-san soap?
How much is this? Is this available in all mercury drug stores? Is it ok if i am drinking different brand of gluta?
same as kojic din siya. honetsly makati siya sa balat at mahapdi. ilang araw ko na tinigil pero kumakati padin at namumula. balik kojie san uli ako
You can never go wrong when using Belo I guess? Since they are one of the top brands in the country and most celebrities are certified "nagpa Belo" lol 🙂 good thing belo released affordable skin care products so normal people like us can be beautiful even though we are not celebrities 🙂

Hello.. Makakatanggal ba to nang old scar???
hi sis . do you think it will be effective with my skin? and ano pong brand ng glutathione yung iniinom nyo? thanks. 🙂
Ive been using olay cream for more than 5 years and im satisfied with it since yung face ko looked soft, even,and smooth while using ponds nagkaka pimples ako. Maybe hindi lng compatible ung ingredients sa face ko.
have tried both, and both really works. Though my face gets oily with Olay (day & night cream and instant glow) so i like Pond's better which gives a matte finish.
love your blog. tried this soap for one week and it alleviated dryness of my skin… have you tried top gel soap?
