Review: Cast’ee Whitening Body Scrub Mousse
I’m always on the lookout for good whitening products in the market, because I tan easily. I lather on sunscreen everyday, especially during outdoor activities, but that never seems to be enough, and I still find my skin getting darker. Truth is, I don’t use whitening products a lot, I find most of them to be irritating to the skin, and did more harm than good. There was this one time that I had more dark spots because of a whitening soap. Most whitening products are drying too, so I do try to avoid that. Usually I stick to one or two whitening products, a scrub and a lotion, because those forms are what I have found to be safest for whitening.
When Shopping99 asked me if I could review a whitening scrub (Cast’ee Whitening Body Scrub Mousse), I was initially apprehensive. However, after going through a few reviews, I was convinced to try it out, and make a review of my own. Shopping 99 is an online shop which started in Taiwan and has recently started gaining popularity in the Philippines. They carry mostly beauty products, as well as some health supplements.

The foam actually expands more after dispensing out of the bottle. I was really amazed that a pea sized amount could expand to a size as big as my thumb!
As with the directions, you just have to keep rubbing, in a gentle circular motion, until there’s exfoliation. As you can see in the photos below, there was some dead skin cells instantly after application.
Now to the results:
Remember that I used the product only on my body, NOT on the face. I was generous with my application each time. I think that’s the reason why one bottle only lasted me until 4 applications.
Below are the before and after results showing my elbows and knees, which I think show the differences effectively.
