This is probably one of my biggest splurge from Sample Room. Imagine all three full sized products in just one purchase. Sulit dba?For this post, I'll be reviewing my favorite among the three: Gluta C Intense Whitening Body Scrub
I initially didn't had plans on writing about this product mainly because after the usual 5 days of usage required by Sample Room before you can post your review on their site, I neglected using this and only remember it on days when I feel like pampering myself.
Today happened to be one of those days. After using this earlier this morning, I realized that this is one of those products that you can immediately like at first use. That said, it's strength lies on the experience it gives you while you use it, and that's what I have to share.
As early as now, I have to tell you that I can't give any feedback about it's whitening properties as obviously my frequency of use of this product is too irregular for me to observe any noticeable change. But while this product is marketed as whitening, I believe there's more to it than that.
TextureThe actual product is housed in a small tub. It has small plastic grains that are just perfect for exfoliation. The scrubs are mild, but they really make a difference. The creamy product doesn't cause skin dryness unlike most whitening products..
SmellAll three Gluta C products I got have the same smell, which for me is a bit floral with a hint of a regular soap smell. You can't help but notice it when using any of the three products. It may be too strong for some. When I sniffed the soap, my nose itched a bit. But then again, I'm a little sensitive to smell.
The ExperienceGluta C Intense Whitening Body Scrub was fun to use. I've used body scrubs before but I think the size and amount of beads this one has is just right and don't dissolve, unlike with other scrubs. A little goes a long way for this product. It doesn't lather much (not sure if it does lather at all) but it's easy to distribute the scrubs all over your skin. I especially love using this on my feet as it really removes dead skin cells. The smell is ever present and mild while using it. It also continued to cling to my skin after I washed it off.
The best part is stepping out of the bathroom and discovering how soft and smooth my skin has become after toweling it dry. I think it's because of the moisturizing formula of the product plus the exfoliation.
I also like using this on my back. I suffer from mild back acne (I have more problematic back acne than face acne) and I find this body scrub very useful in exfoliating my back to prevent them. And yes, I can reach my back. hahahaha!
At only P99.75, I think this product is reasonably priced and is a must-have for women who wax their legs (like me) in order to prevent ingrown hair.
Glutathione + Vitamin C + PapayaGluta C Intense Whitening Body Scrub is also a must-try for girls who are into whitening.
Buy or not?Yes if:You like experimenting on different whitening productsYou like body scrubs in generalYou have back acneYou wax or shave your legs
No if:You have sensitive skin.You are too sensitive to smellYou're a student and you have to use your allowance to get this(buy yourself some fruits instead)You're a student and your parents disapprove of whitening products (this used to be me)
Alternative:If you have back acne or you wax or shave your legs, you don't really need to get this to exfoliate. Use a loofah instead. It's much much cheaper.
