Answer:

Hi Ashley, I live in Arizona too and I know how the sun can be harsh here. My Asian skin tone is very prone to skin darkening and sun damage.

Use of the kojic acid soap alone can help, as long as you protect it with a high SPF sunscreen (I use SPF70) whenever you're outdoors. Use of the optional lotion or cream can hasten results though, but if you think after a few weeks you can see an improvement, you can stick to the use of the soap alone.

Results will depend on how your skin will react to the soap. You may either see a fast or slow improvement. It will not be the same as others as your skin type is unique on its own. Lightening 1-3 shades is almost always possible. :-)
