Hi dearies! Before anything else, I would like to apologize for being MIA because I'm dealing with personal matters with my family. I'm still alive and kicking! May God always guide me and give me strength in all the obstacles I'm going through.
Sorry for being a bit emo here. Let's start the review! I'm a bit hesitant if I will make a comprehensive review on this body scrub. I'm sure you can read a lot of good reviews on this product. This product is highly rave in different forums and regarded as one of beauty must haves. This is not my first time using this body scrub. I already tried the first Asian Secrets Lulur in green tub. I can't say that it's not effective since I'm not using it religiously. So when I saw this new variant of Asian Secrets Lulur Body Scrub at Watson's, I read the label and saw the ingredients like Licorice and Mulberry Leaf Extract. These two ingredients made me gave this product another try.

| Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Indonesian Body Scrub Texture is creamy and pasty. Looks like white marshmallow icing |
What I like:
- The scent- smells like Jasmine but light and not overpowering. The smell of this variant is a bit lighter than the green variant.
- The beads are fine so it's gentle in exfoliating.
- It's cheap! A tub lasts me more than a month. I exfoliate using this once a week.
- It's creamy and moisturizes my skin. I can see a "glow" after using this.
- Keeps my skin tone even after prolong exposure to sun.
- There's a batch, manufacture and expiration date printed at the bottom of the tub.
- Hypo-allergenic and dermatologically tested.
What I don't like:
- The packaging! It is unsanitary to dip your fingers inside the tub.
Will I repurchase? Yes! I can use this alternately with my A Bonne body scrub I always purchase a new tub before I ran out of this. This is my HG now!!!
Recommendation:
I give this a 4.75/5 rating. I think this can be a HG material My HG product when it comes to gentle body scrubs. To avoid contamination of the product, always use a spatula when getting it from the tub. To maximize the whitening effect of the product, leave it for 10-15 minutes before rinsing.
Have you tried Asian Secrets Lulur Whitening Indonesian Body Scrub? What variant do you like? Thanks for sharing. Have a great day ahead!
Good Times!~
hi :) i've been using this scrub for almost 8 months. i love the smell of it too!and i love how it leaves my skin supple after i used it.. i always use the green cause im a green tea addict :)
ReplyDelete@aiko borja- yay, thanks for sharing! Glad that you love this too :)
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a great product! I'm always looking for really good skincare products. Will have to try!
ReplyDeleteI so need to get a body scrub. Sounds so invigorating for the skin. Thanks for telling me about this product.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing. (looks at skin on arm) I'm not too into skin whitening myself (LOL) but I know some people who are. I'll remember the site if the topic ever arises again.
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm into DIY scrubs, I will check this out. You got me at Lulur and Indonesian.
ReplyDeleteWow, the price is way cheaper than the Korean products I know which promise to give out the same result. Now I know what to find in my next visit to Watsons! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of anything from this brand and actually never seen it in any stores by me. I will check Sally Beauty Supply though, because they're the only store that carries non-popular brands by me. I love body scrubs and licorice :)
ReplyDeletewell with a rating like that I think I need to try it out. Interesting that there is licorice noted as one of the ingredients. Love to check it out.
ReplyDeleteAs for the packaging problem, when I was in cosmetology school we had jars like those but we had tiny little disposable spoons that we used to get the product out of the cars so that we didn't have to dip our fingers in. Maybe you could look into something like that?
ReplyDeleteHi Kath....hope your weekend is going well!
ReplyDeleteI had this scrub before but it was my sister who used it and it was effective.
ReplyDeleteHas this product for whitening skin has a side effects to the users? Do I need to use these?
ReplyDeleteI like using body scrubs myself. I'll look for this the next time I go to Watson's.
ReplyDeleteI've never used this product before, it looks like it would be worth a try.
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting product. Here, a lot of women tan for their wedding day. I would lose weight, but not care that much about my skin tone. Thanks for an interesting read.
ReplyDeleteI've never used this product, but I'm always looking for new interesting products. I really like your review-- very thorough with lots of information.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you could get a throw away sponge triangle or something similar to dip in the container? That might get rid of the one and only con. I like that is smells like Jasmine.
ReplyDeleteI love body scrubs. They make your skin feel so soft and fresh. Amber N
ReplyDeleteGeGreat review. I do not think they carry this in Canada which is too bad as I would love to try it. I like the way you list the good and the bad. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks excellent for the bride an women in general. Lotions are women's way of caring their skin and beauty.
ReplyDeleteThis cream sounds amazing and you could probably use this for all them area or at least most of them. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteEven though I want to be darker, I could use the evening of skin tone and the glow. The smell sounds great, and I love the exfoliating feature. Another product I have never heard of..thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI just tried to comment but I think something went wrong. :( I want to be darker, but I could really use the evening out of skin tone above all else. I really love the exfoliating nature of this and the smell sounds great. I have never heard of this product, so it was an interesting review to read, thanks!
ReplyDeleteAn awesome review Kitty, i'll pass it on to the ladies
ReplyDeletei really enjoy using this product. i love how it leaves my skin soft + smooth after each use. i miss using it now that i've already consumed a whole tab!
ReplyDeleteI love all of my wife's body scrubs. She always smells great after using them and, I admit, when no one is looking I might use them myself once in a blue moon. Lol! The scrub with the Licorice and Mulberry Leaf Extract sounds interesting. I'll have to tell her about it.
ReplyDeleteI love body scrubs and I'm a fan of Asian beauty products mostly Japanese ones but they are so hard to find here and the shipping can take weeks. I would love to try this one since jasmine is my favorite scent.
ReplyDeletei love body scrub! this made me miss my 1 hour body strawberry scrub in indonesia! i smell strawberry the whole 3 days haha this one makes me want to have it now
ReplyDeleteWhen my wife does a body scrub her skin is so soft and it smells sooo good. Great post!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great body scrub. I rarely use them, but always enjoy it when I do. I need to remember this one.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like its a great product. Can you buy this in Watson's?
ReplyDeletei always heard this product and i also saw this product on mercury drug always but i ignored it and i never bought this becaus i really don't know this product...but know i know it already...thanks for the info my dear and i'm thinking now to buy one and try this body scrub since it's not so expensive...anyway i had one question my dear, i am a breastfeed mom and i want to know if this is not side effect and it's safe to used or not.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have a Watsons. I'm gonna check amazon
ReplyDeleteI'm not really a fan of "whiting" creme but I know many people use it to even skin tone etc. Seems this one does the job well.
ReplyDeleteAlready tried this product :3 what I love about it is lulur gave body scrub effect a minty blast!!
