I'll have separate reviews for each variant on this page. I'll update this post as I use each variant for at-least 1 month and compare them at the end of this post.
So I started seeing this soap before on various online shops and the shop that claims to have first distributed this is in the Philippines is Shadz online shop which is an official distributor of Co., Ltd. Happy Price - the maker of the hyped about Celebrity Soap.
It shocked me that it's WTF PRICEY for a soap! Like around 1,000+ PHP pricey! The priciest soap I have ever used was just around 300 PHP or even less! I read on why the price tag was like that and info graphics say that these are used by japanese celebrity and is their secret to flawless skin- (something like that). It is also said to make you more attractive to men or your lover because of it's pheromone effect. (hence the name Love Soap). As I researched about it and it's many benefits aside from whitening I eventually got sucked into the madness!

I have sensitive, combination, acne prone skin and some scars due to being a hyper pasaway kid. And also, we went swimming last summer...(May2013)
This soap has a LOT of benefits aside from whitening which I'll list on the individual review below.
Sooooo... I got uneven skin after that...Which is why I hate swimming. I only swim once but it will take me a year or two to get my color back and even out the tan lines!
Anyways...Let's see how this soap works!

I got this around October 29, 2013 and started using it the next day. I wanted to try the original first so I can compare its effect to the other variants I have which is Professional and Premium. I first cut it into 1/4-ish size vertically then immediately tried the arm test. I soaped my left arm and left it there for around 1 minute or two. I should have left in on longer but I'm just too excited to see if those pictures of instant whitening is true! And soo it was true! (I forgot to take pictures!)My left arm was visibly lighter than my right but not shockingly white as those promotional pictures.
On my face, it felt like my pores were tightening but not the very drying kind. Same thing with my arms. Though when I scratch it to test if it was dry, there was no white line. Sadly it didn't prevent pimples. It helped very little on the blemishes as it does it's micropeeling. Still, I'm amazed on how I got lighter with every wash! I occasionally did the arm test and it never fails! Though like I said, the lightening is not as shocking as the promotional pictures.
It also refined my UA hair! It was specially apparent when I plucked my underarms. The hair the grew back was a LOT finer than usual! ♥
The micropeeling of this soap is unique. It's so tiny that I couldn't see it! Pretty cool! Though because of the fineness of the peeling. I can't see for myself if I got lighter. But I get compliments here and there saying that I was getting lighter, blooming and stuff like that. No matter how much I look at my arms, I can't see the change!!! That's why I do the arm test just to confirm the effect hehe.
Effectiveness: ♥♥♥♥
I'm pleasantly happy about it's effcicacy! It's so far the fastest whitening soap I've used. I can't really see it at first but it's the other people around me who notices it. Almost comparable to my go-to whitening soap which is Diamond Orange Peel. Lucky that I found TLS because the recent formulation of orange peel soap was stingy on the skin! It really keeps the odor away. I rarely use deodorant anymore!
Mildness: ♥♥♥♥♥
This is surprisingly very gentle for a very quick and effective whitening soap! Silka body wash is gentle but it doesn't whiten as fast as TLS! No sting when used as a feminine wash! Amazing!
Ingredients: ♥♥♥♥♥
No qualm about the ingredients at all!!! They use mostly natural engredients! Well except for the PEG!! (Will post about hazardous chemicals soon!)

| Here I'm washing my arm prior to swatching the meiko cover faces with octard. As seen HERE |
 |
| Just after the wash, I got some micropeeling going on! |
 |
| This bit is on my legs after I took a bath. Take note, I always rub after soaping and shampooing and yet I get this when I'm about to dress-up. |
 |
| I sincerely appologize for forgetting to take pictures but this is the best I could get. These are taken with different lighting but I adjusted them using the swatches as the reference. I got a shade lighter on the after pic. That's the same right arm BTW. |

After hearing the effect of this soap on my cousin, I really got excited about this soap!! Finally! A soap that would clear my skin of pimples and blemishes!! So yay!!!
Hohoho! *Suds suds suds*
And finally, uh.. I'ts kind of...
The same as original! Just that it has more antibacterial and odor preventing ingredients. It didn't do much to my pimples too or maybe it's not "hiyang" to me. Well actually, sometimes it helps and sometimes there's no effect. Too bad I ordered two of this variant! pfffftt!!!
Effectiveness: ♥♥♥
This is supposed to be for pimples but it didn't do much for mine. 
Whitening and hair refining effect is the same as the Original variant.

Mildness: ♥♥♥♥♥
Well it's supposed to be mild so people with skin conditions can use this variant. No sting when used as a feminine wash.
Ingredients: ♥♥♥
Well I don't see the PEG now but the active ingredient is SCARY! Triclosan! It's classified by the US FDA to be a pesticide and a probable carcinogen!! I won't buy this variant ever again!!!
By the time I'm using this, I added another soap to my bathing routine. That is the Diamond Orange Peel Soap. Like I said, this is my go-to whitening soap. I just want to get rid of the micropeeling as soon as I can so that my skin will be smoother. And so I got this not-so-micro peeling with this combo:
 |
| Look at that peeling on my arm! O.O |
That peeling just went on for around 3 days and then my skin rarely got any obvious micropeeling. Did the skin test and no white line at all!. My skin was really getting refined and the whitening is pinkish and not yellowish like what I get with other whitening soaps I've used. I have warm skintone you see and getting that pinkish whitening was just like a joke to me. This soap is amazing for being able to do that!
