Snoe Beauty Inc.'s Snoe White Beauty Bar in Citronella & Moringa Review

Hey guys! So here's my blog post about Snoe Beauty Inc.'s Snoe White Beauty Bars I bought last time. I know I posted this a little bit too late (or too early to review?) but I'm trying my best to be objective in this review so I gave them enough time (for me at least) to check if the products were working or not.

What is Snoe White Beauty Bars anyway?

"Snoe White Beauty Bars are made with only the freshest and purest high-grade ingredients to provide superior whitening solutions. Our soaps are made with Dermatologist-approved formula to ensure that our beauty bars are hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic, and safe for everyday use." *copied from their FB Catalogue*

If you haven't read my post about my haul, I bought the Citronella and Moringa variant of their beauty bars :)


Snoe White No. 6 Antibacterial Brightening Citronella Beauty Bar




Based on my experience with vegetable soaps, they melt way faster than regular soaps so I cut them in half first to give it a try. I may not have finished the whole bar yet (just half of it) but let me tell you that I'm the type of person who doesn't stick to one product for a long time coz I like changing my stuffs regularly or using a lot of products at a time. And I believe using up half of the bar gives me an idea if this baby is working or not :)

Half bar lasted me more than a week considering it's a vegetable soap, of course with the proper storage being the OC that I am haha. I'm using the soap once to twice a day everyday for more than a week straight until I finished it all up.

What does it do?

"For Flawless Skin: has anti-microbial properties that eliminates body odor, a natural skin antiseptic that is effective against skin disorders and rashes, prevents and heals pimples, contains Calamansi to whiten skin, promotes sleep and relaxation, calms sebaceous glands to produce a pimple-free and fairer skin."

First, why did I bought this variant while there were other interesting bars? Coz I have this little bumps on my arms since I was a kid and as I get older, I noticed that I also had it in my thighs now and some parts of my body. It's not in a kadiri way, it was actually almost unnoticeable unless you stare at them closely. I was hoping this bar could be the answer but I know it was a pipe dream LOL. I've been trying a lot from soaps to lotions to scrubs but I guess they won't go away.

Scent: Citronella is known for being a mosquito and bad odor buster but fear not ladies as the Citronella scent is very mild and it has a very refreshing citrus scent which I really love. Contrary to what they say that it promotes sleep and relaxation, it's more of a perk-me-up scent. Citrus scents are known for giving a boost of energy and that's what I love in this soap! Reminds me of St. Ives body wash.

Performance: VERY, and I mean, VERY effective when it comes to drying out those zits! I used this soap when I had my monthly visitor and like other ladies, I'm breaking out whenever I have my period. I didn't used this to my face in fear that it would be very strong (which I think it is) and I let Celeteque take care of it. Boy it was stingy! Especially with all those fresh acne. But I already expected this one because I read things about this too. But as the day passed, the stinging lessened for a bit and I noticed that my pimples have dried up and I'm happy with it, they didn't do anything about my bumps though, they even looked red, maybe because the soap is strong for them? I don't know. I also noticed that after 3 to 4 days of using the products, my skin shed off a bit when I towel dried my skin and that's when I say, "ah, the brightening effect!". I'll say this variant is doing it's job and definitely a repurch. I still have a back up though and I'll use it whenever I have those stubborn zits coming :)


Snoe White No. 12 Maximum Whitening Moringa Beauty Bar





Like I said, I love switching stuffs and uses different products at a time but I gave this product enough time like the Citronella one. I also cut it in half and I'm expecting a leafy-earthy scent but OMG as in oh my gosh.

What does it do?:

"With real Moringa Leaves: Rich in vitamins A, C, and E, contains high level of Oleic Acid that makes skin softer and smoother, has healing benefits for cuts, pimples and scrapes, daily use benefits include young, healthy-looking and radiant skin, slows down signs of skin aging, stimulates cell regeneration, reduces inflammation and gives a healthy white glow".

Scent: It smelled like fresh apples! Well for me at least. I'm not sure if apples were the accurate definition of the scent but it definitely has that unique scent to it, especially when wet and sitting on your skin for a couple of minutes, the leafy scent becomes noticeable but if you don't have a strong sense of smell, I doubt you can smell it. It's almost unnoticeable. It kinda reminds me of LUSH Demon in the Dark soap, with all the apple scents and stuff without the mint.

Performance: This soap is good for everyday use compare to the Citronella one (it's stronger and can be a bit drying). It has bits of dried leaves I suppose which acts as a mild exfoliant. It made my skin softer and smoother and I guess this baby will be a regular border in my closet, definitely worth having a back up. Repurch! As for the whitening property, I'm not a good candidate to check if I got whiter because I'm naturally in the lighter shade of skin already. And I don't pay attention in the whitening stuff that much, what's important to me is if it makes my skin in a better condition :)

Both soaps lather very well too! I suggest you cut the soap in half to prevent wastage of a good product. Storing it in a different container will help too :)

Will a repurchase? Definitely yes! I want to try other variants too, I'm eyeing the oatmeal and licorice one. Beauty Bars cost 139php each.

Thanks for reading bellas!
