The only facial scrub I have used is St. Ives Apricot facial scrub. But in less than 24 hours, a new pimple will start to develop so this product doesn't work for me at all. Since then I make my own facial scrubs which never caused me to break out. But I get lazy at times so after reading about iWhite Pore Refining Coffee Sugar Polish, I decided to check it out and see for myself.
After using it for quite some time now, it's time to share with you all what I think of this product.
Pros:
- Exfoliates and effectively removes dead skin cells
- There is gentle micro-peeling
- Doesn't hurt when scrubbed on the face (of course you have to be a little careful because it might scratch your skin if you rub it really hard)
- Smells nice
- Cheap! at PHP30 per sachet which can be used multiple times (5 times for me)
- Locally available at Watson's
- Never broke me out
Cons:
- Available in sachets only
Tip: I mix this with a little milk to make scrubbing more gentle and it smells really good. Plus milk moisturizes the skin so it keeps the skin moisturized while removing dead skin cells. I have yet to try this with Extra Virgin Olive Oil and see.
Will I buy again? YES! I will definitely HOARD this product. :P
Overall rating: 4.75/5 If there is a tub or tube of this product, it would be a perfect 5 for me.

ReplyDeleteyou purchased this where?
is this available locally?
Jing, this is available at Watson's. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review, too bad Apricot scrub didn't work for you, maybe too strong for your sensitive skin =) I'll try this one, and yep VCO is a wonder oil no? =)
ReplyDeleteDang, I think it is a bit too strong for me. :P But I don't use VCO. :D
ReplyDeleteI've seen this around but I stopped using masks since I bought a couple pa from HK and need to use them all, thanks for the review on this, this sounds like a good product!
ReplyDeleteWe have the same reaction to the St. Ives scrub. This product's name sounds so good. I like that it's available in sachets so I can try it out first! :)
ReplyDeletethat scrub sounds so yummy! i still use st ives, been using it for a few years now :) but i use other things as well...
ReplyDeleteI actually tried that already. But I don't like its scent though. :(
ReplyDeleteNikki, this is a good one. :) Mask na! :P
ReplyDeleteIda, go ahead and try it. ;)
Janelle, good thing your skin doesn't break out with St. Ives. I guess I'm one of the few whose skin reacts badly with it. :(
Golden, so sad naman. Try it with milk, it smells better. :P Hehe
i tried the mask thing i got as a freebie, and i really like it! never knew it was available in watson's. will have to hoard too, asap!! =)
ReplyDeletemight try this one as well. thanks for the review!
Jen, go hoard masks! :P
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I love st. ives, i's actually my HG facial scrub. But I have tried this one too, and it really works! I bought the one in the box, their "spa" package and I used them all up before my debut to prep my skin. The result? Glowing skin on my precious night! Really, this product smells terrific! And I could really feel my skin getting smoother afterwards. My only rant about ti is that I look scary when I put it on. I try not to look at the bathroom mirror cause it freaks me out. hehehe =p
ReplyDeleteAbby, I'm glad St. Ives work for you. :) And yey to the coffee sugar scrub. :P
