A couple of weeks ago, I was chosen as one of the guest blogger to review this item : Collistar Talasso-Scrub Termoattivo. Guest bloggers were given a sample size of 150g to try out for a few days. This is a brand carried by Sasa Malaysia, so big thank you to Sasa for the opportunity.
I tried this scrub from the first day I took it. And after 14 days and 4 tries, this is what I can say about it:
- It smells refreshing. The lavender and rosemary essential oils smell does not overwhelm and actually goes pretty well with my nose.
- The texture is not too thick or too rough. Knowing that this scrub is made of sea salt which are then soaked in essential oils, at first I imagined it to have big beads but then I found out that it actually have fine beads that does not leave my skin sore after rubbing it in.
- It does not take a long time for the scrub to dry after applying and scrubbing on my problematic area using a circular motion for maximum coverage. Of course, the effectiveness of the scrub only works on dry skin. I also feel a little warm sensation on the area I scrubbed.
- After scrubbing, it leaves the skin smooth and fairer than before. Not to mention, the smell sticks for a long time.
- On the third time using this product, I noticed that my thighs are slightly more than half an inch smaller than before I used this. Although I do not have cellulite to test this product on, it is also said to be able to reduce cellulite as well.
The only downside is :
- There wasn't a spatula included in the trial 150g product. I hope there are with the regular product.
The product is selling at RM145 for a 700 g product, which for someone who focuses on a targeted area for me, is quite a bargain. A prolonged use would leave the skin softer and color of the skin tone lighter than before. Not to mention, the smell is not too strong but it sticks for a long time, which also means you do not require to use perfumed products after scrubbing yourself.
Here are the benefits promised by Collistar on it's Talasso-Scrub Termoattivo :
- Action of exfoliating sea salt : The exclusive blend of 90 different types of sea salt frees the skin from dead skin cells and impurities and leaving a result of an immediate smoother, toned and more radiant skin.
- Revitalizing power of essential oils : The scent of the product is fresh and stimulating, produced by blending essential oils and lavender that leaves the skin revitalized, regenerating the mind and giving energy to the user.
- Remodeling effectiveness : Six (6) different plant extracts that performs a dual action on fatty deposits are selected to stimulate the activity of lipases (the enzymes that breaks down fat and at the same time contrast the formation of new adipocytes). This boosts the warm effect on the skin, penetrates deep and intensifies the action. Addition of sea salt in the product completes the activity through osmosis which in turn drains excess fluids.
Safe ingredients
However, I can only share my experience but I must assure you that the results vary for different individuals and also targeted areas of problems faced. What I can say though is fairly simple - this product works!
So, give it a try. Don't say no to a change.
