Review: Hollywood Style Whitening Scrub and Whitening Lotion

My heart goes to all victims of Yolanda, the recent super typhoon that hit the Philippines. Let us all do our part to help them! 

The operation I underwent last Sunday caused me to take a short break from blogging. Most of time, I bear and work with the pain it is causing me. If you follow me on Instagram (@jesroque), you probably saw how swollen my face is now. The pain and the healing will take a while so please bear with me if I can't and won't post anything 'face' related. :(

Since I don't want to freak you out with how my face looks now, I am compiled all my pending reviews of body-related products. Let us start with Hollywood Style Whitening Scrub and Whitening Lotion.

When it comes to skincare, I am not a one-brand only kind of girl. I tend to use different products from different brands as long as they work good on me. But I find the partnership of Hollywood Style Whitening Scrub and Lotion to be an exception. Since it focused on whitening body parts, I though it would be best to use them together to see the optimum results.

Since whitening doesn't happen overnight, I gave it a good month before sharing my thoughts on it. Please take note that I am not into whitening my whole body so I use it more on areas that needs to be whitened also known as the knees, the elbows and the toes. Let's go into details, shall we?

I LIKE that ...

• both come in a squeezed-type kind of packaging. It is less-messy to use and a lot more practical since I can cut the tube in half to scrape of the remaining product once I run out of it.
• both are well-sealed upon purchase.

• the particles of the scrub are big enough to get rid of dry cells but gentle enough to not cause skin damage.

• the lotion is thick enough to adhere onto my skin better and keep my skin moisturized the whole day.

• both significantly work on whitening my knees, elbows and toes.
• my skin feels soft and supple after using the scrub.
• both do not cause me any skin-related issues.
• Hollywood Style is available in leading department stores like Rustan's, Watsons, Shopwise and Landmark. It is also available in www.tcat.com.ph.

I DON'T LIKE that ...

• both have very strong scent. It smells good but I find it too fruity and too strong. If you like that, you would love that the scent stays on for a long time. 
• the lotion doesn't have SPF. It would be best if the lotion can double up as a sunscreen so no need to pile products on the skin.

Will I repurchase?

If I need to further whiten my skin, yes!

Hollywood Style Whitening Scrub and Whitening Lotion obviously did a good job making my elbows, knees and toes whiter and smoother. Don't get me wrong, those areas are still not even with the rest of my skin but they are getting there. And yes, I will be using the Hollywood Style Scrub and Lotion until I get the result I want! :)
