Review: Nu Skin Scion Whitening Deodorant

Do you still remember your first deodorant? I honestly can't recall which one between Rexona and Secret. My mom says I should stick with just one brand of deodorant to avoid dark underarms, I think so too but that is after I find a product or brand I can trust.

 The last brand I have used so far is from Nu Skin. Have you ever heard of the brand Nu Skin? They are the company who offers Scion Whitening Deodorant which promises whitening result after 3 weeks.



Description:
An underarm whitening roll-on deodorant and anti-perspirant that provides 24-hour protection against bacterial growth and perspiration which can cause body odor. Whitening results can be seen in just 3 weeks! Alcohol-free makes it mild and non-irritating. It comes in two variants. 24-Hour Protection to keep you fresh all day, perfect for the active lifestyle and pH-Balanced, especially formulated for women. 

Product Claims:
Aids in preventing discoloration of the under-arm area
All-day Antiperspirant protection
Glides on easily
Alcohol-free formula is gentle and non-irritating


Nu Skin Scion Whitening Deodorant is available in two different labels:
Baby blue - more focus against odor and wetness. (also good for Men)
Flesh - pH balanced especially for Woman also best for those who have chicken skin.

Obviously I chose Flesh. Scion Deodorant has a roll-on type packaging like majority of the deodorants in the market today. As for the scent, I can't describe it exactly, it's fresh but not something special or worth noting for. It keeps my underarm dry the whole day.
Key Ingredients:
Triclosan – helps kill odor and infection causing germs
Lactic Acid – pH acidulent
Vitamini E – renowned for its moisturizing and antioxidant properties 

Demineralized Water, Aluminium Chlorohydrate, Isopropyl Myristate, Cyclomethicone, Fragrance, Tocopheryl Acetate, Lactic Acid, Licorice Extract, Bearberry Extract, Methylparaben, Triclosan, Allantoin, Propylparaben 
It has parabens, I know that a lot of girls take this into consideration.
I have used this product for about 2 and a half months and I am afraid there is no visible changes. I don't have dark underarms but I want to notice any slight whitening effect which is the main reason why I bought the product in the first place.

PROS
  • It keeps me feeling fresh all day

CONS
  • Doesn't whiten
  • Product not readily available
  • Quite expensive for a deodorant

Where to buy?
 Nu Skin sellers or online sellers in sulit and facebook

How much?
Around P250 for 75ml (can't remember the exact price, sorry)1

Overall:
It does it's job as a deodorant but it's a thumbs down in terms of whitening. It didn't keep up into it's promise to whiten as early as 3 weeks which is kinda sad. I know a lot of drugstore brands who offers the same promise of whitening in as little as 2 weeks but without the heavy price tag.
Will I buy again?
It is good as a deodorant but it's not a smart buy. I won't buy again.
I am thinking of trying out mineral deodorants which is said to be safer than other deodorants in the market today. How about you lovelies, what brand are you using right now?

Thank you for dropping by my blog! See you in my next post! CN Blue is coooomiiiiiiiiiiing!~

Review: AP-24 whitening toothpaste

White teeth may have been one of the trade marks not just of Hollywood superstars but the most famous celebrities in the country today as well. White teeth is also really good to look at and a lot may have been really dreaming about having those white pearls may it be girls or boys. This explains why a lot of brands nowadays carry their own whitening version of such toothpaste.




Its obvious that for today my post is about my whitening buddy, Nu Skin's AP24 fluoride toothpaste. Actually I am not really desperate to whiten my teeth and my plan was to have my own braces -which will take a long long time of saving up money of course. I have decided to purchase one of this popular toothpaste because of girltalk raves.

My take~
Okay so the paste inside the 110g. tube is white. One tube retails for Php371 and is only available with selected distributors. I believe Nu skin products nowadays are not allowed to be sold online so you may have a hard time looking for a place to buy items from Nu skin.

It was advertised to whiten teeth within 2 weeks and this is what the product claims to do:
    >Brightens and whitens teeth.
    >Helps remove stains.
    >Helps remove and prevent plaque buildup.
    >Helps the prevention of dental cavities.
    >Provides a long-lasting smooth, clean, and fresh feel.
    >Features AP-24, an exclusive ingredient.
    >Refreshing, trademark vanilla mint flavor.
    >Thick, creamy, rich formula.
    >No harmful peroxides.
    Check Nu Skin's site for the benefits and complete ingredients list--> NU SKIN AP24.

    PROS
    • This toothpaste has a yummy faint vanilla smell and taste.
    • Cleans teeth thoroughly. No bad breath all day.
    • Can last 2-3 months if you'll use it alone.

    CONS
    • This item seems to be over priced.
    • Did not really whiten my teeth at all.
    • Hard to find.

    Verdict:
    I bought this product having high hopes of having white teeth but this didn't worked for me. It can remove teeth stains from drinking coffee or smoking (I don't smoke!) but it can't turn a natural yellow teeth into white. Na-da and it was all laid out in their paper description I got with the product.

    Well Im not buying again, because the product has not served its purpose. My search for the "it" teeth whitening product continuous...
