Topicals Faded and Brightening Cleansing Bar ($28)
Topicals has done it again. If you're a fan of the brand's TikTok-viral dark-spots serum, then you'll love this faded and brightening cleansing bar. It has kojic acid, of course, and other brightening ingredients like lactic acid to specifically target dark spots, plus a touch of shea butter and urea to keep your skin smooth and refreshed. The bar also smells nice, which is a bonus in our book.

- Ingredients: Kojic acid, lactic acid, shea butter, urea
- Size: Three ounces per bar
- Color: Light pink
- Who it's best for: Those with uneven skin tone or stubborn dark spots who want hydration and brightening
- Extras: Dermatologist-tested, free of parabens and sulfates
What Reviewers Say: "Really great product. I recommend cutting the soap into pieces and storing the extra until you're ready to use — it helps preserve the bar and is more hygienic, producing less waste without drying out. And for people saying that it didn't work or you're not seeing much of a difference, please remember you should be using sunscreen."
