In addition to the Garnier Oil Control moisturiser, I was also given this Turbolight oil control icy facial scrub to try. It claims to be anti-blackheads and brightening as well. The active ingredients are lemon extract, cryo-menthol and mineral clay. It also contains pore-unclogging micro-beads that help remove blackheads.
Seeing as how I was a bit sceptical about facial scrubs, I tried this with some trepidation. Facial scrubs tend to be a bit rough on the skin, especially if the beads are too big and are not really suitable for sensitive skin like mine. However, I found that this scrub wasn’t too rough on the face. It lathers very well and gets your face cleaned in a jiffy. It is suitable for daily use but I would recommend those with sensitive skin to use it every 2-3 days only so as not to irritate your skin. That being said, it is quite mild and suits all skin types.
One thing I like about the Icy Cool scrub is that it contains menthol. This gives a cool, tingling feeling on the skin after use, great for those who find it difficult to wake up as well as those who have just come back after a day out in the sun. I was pleasantly surprised the first time I used it as I was not expecting anything like that. It is very refreshing and I would think that it is also very suitable for those who like to indulge in outdoor sports. Not only does it scrub out all the impurities from the outdoors but it also leaves your skin feeling like it was just blasted with cold air. It’s great!
Just a word of caution though, please ensure that you avoid the eye area when using the scrub. As it contains menthol, it may sting your eyes if the foam accidentally touches your eyes.
I find this to be a very effective and good product and will definitely have it handy for days when I’m out in the sun or hot and humid days like we have here. At a retail price of RM7.90 a tube, it doesn’t get much better than this. So, give it a try and in the words of Garnier, “Take care!”

hmm.. i have been using this for week.. juz wondering.. shud i apply every morning before i go to work when the skin is nt oily?? cuz normaly i used to wash my face in the afternoon or after work.. seing this is scrub.. so i only use it once daily..
@crazy: Since its a scrub, you should use it at most once a day or you could even use it every alternate day. Preferably use it in the evenings to wash off the oil and grime. In the mornings, you can use something milder like a cleansing foam.
Hi just to ask do I use it daily for twice a day. Once after waking up and once before going to bed. Or do I use it in the evening only where the skin is oiler. May I also know if my age is suitable for such product as I’m 20 this year.
@Rick: As its a scrub, using it twice a day may be too drying. You could use it on alternate days or just once a week or just once in the evening. Its fine for all ages.
