I like the packaging, solid in a glass bottle with a pump. Not heavy me thinks.
The smell is really refreshing. I only use this at night so far, and am on my way finishing it.
Its gel texture is easy to spread on, but I find some sticky feel if I apply this in a rush. And it would sting on "freshly" picked skin - so no picking on blackheads / pimples prior to using this.
Comes the real problem..
I don't know if it works for me hahaha. I think my skin still looks the same. Not any fairer for long, not any darker either.
Having said that, lately I have been skipping sunscreen a few times a week :P
After finishing the recent Sunkiller, I've been more cautious in trying out other sunscreens because I do not want to be surprised in the morning with white cast, just 5 mins before I rush out the house. Worse, I even walked out for lunch without an umbrella! (need to change need to change)
So I guess in a way, not getting any darker is great?
Anyway, I have decided to use this serum prior to applying a mask (any type).
I find it works better this way. I do find fairer, plumped skin after removing the mask. So I'll just leave this for the masking ritual then.
Don't think I'll repurchase this, not bad, but not excellent either..

This is quite a huge tub of scrub! And I am glad I bought it (sorry luggage, I know you have suffered with all the weight I put you through). The seeds are just about the right texture for a good scrub (body, too harsh for face). Passed the deo-pits test beautifully, without causing irritation to skin.
This managed to help to prevent ingrown hair too. I use this every other day - I tend to have dry skin on my legs, sometimes it gets scaly and started peeling. With regular scrub, and top with a good lotion after that, it keeps the peeling at bay.
The scent is refreshing as well, I like the woody smell. Rinses off very easily, no greasy leftovers. Does not cause sensitivity too. I have one more use before bidding it goodbye, and I find the tub pretty good for recycling. Like, keeping my cotton pads, or storing my "bedak sejuk" (rice powder).

If you're into Palm Reading, can you tell I think ALOT? Lol.. too much worries yo..
I have seasonal dry skin especially on my legs. If left without lotion for more than a day - I get scaly skin! Yucks.
This lotion is easy to smooth on; whether on dry or damp skin. I usually use 5 pumps before bedtime - 2 for my arms, and 3 for full legs ;) So I can actually finish this 400ml bottle in about 2 months?
Also, it absorbs very fast, leaving non oily surface so no worries about staining the sheets (I'm very very particular about this).
Each morning I wake up to really hydrated skin, and smells so darn good.
I'm finishing this in no time, so I am hoping this goes on sale again on my next trip to Bangkok :D
Just too bad its not available in Malaysia, sigh!
Boots, when are you coming here!?
