Rraw PH Adrenaline Neuraw Scrub Review

Adrenaline Neuraw Scrub (Lemon), 250g

Product Description:

Adrenaline Neuraw Scrub is packed with Vitamin C to feed your skin only the good stuff and keep the bad stuff out. Contains anti-microbial properties to help absorb impurities from the skin and moisturize. Keeps skin hydrated and clear as it can. Excellent in lightening old scars such as old insect wounds!

The scrub came in a very simple resealable clear plastic pouch. The product name, weight and Rraw's website is printed in the front but other than that, there is no other information available. I like the minimalist design but I do wish they also included the ingredients and instructions.

Price and Where I got It

If you haven't heard of them yet, Rraw is a local company offering organic products ranging from soap bars, body scrubs, lip tints, face masks and a whole lot more! They guarantee all their products are made using only wild and fresh ingredients.

Their Neuraw body scrub can be bought for only Php 129.00 (originally Php 299) at Rraw PH's website. Neuraw is available in different versions and you can choose among the following: Endorphin (Vanilla), Dopamine (Strawberry), Serotonin (Cocoa), Melatonin (Pandan), and Adrenaline (Lemon).

I chose Adrenaline (direct product link) because I like lemons and because Rraw claims this is good for lightening dark spots and old scars like insect wounds.  I got mine as part of the Noël Christmas gift set for Php 549.00 (You can read my Noël unboxing here).

Ingredients List

All the ingredients look innocent and no harmful chemicals are included. I have some qualms about the oils but we'll get to that later.

My Experience

close up of the sugar scrub
First of all, this looks like it will be a good exfoliator because of the large uneven grains of sugar and salt. I applied this over clean, slightly wet skin, after cleansing with body wash. This is face-friendly, according to Rraw.

I followed the instructions above and rubbed in a circular motion, focusing more on dry areas like my elbows, knees and ankles. The sugar and salt melted away leaving the oils and tiny little pieces of lemon bits in my skin. After that, I let it sit for 5 minutes then I rinsed it all off.

Results

This product is certainly effective as a scrub plus the coconut and olive oils act as natural moisturizers. Didn't use lotion or any moisturizers afterward because my skin is baby-soft and so smooth after using this!

Now, remember my qualms about the oils? I'm still trying to find my holy grail products but I know my skin well enough to know that any oil-based products left on my face will lead to breakouts. Whenever I use such products, I make sure to wash it off with a foam cleanser. This time, I threw caution to the wind - I used the scrub on my face, didn't wash the oils off with another cleanser and left my skin as it is. As expected, I broke out the next morning. :(

If you have combination/oily skin like me, I think it would be wise to use this scrub only on your body, not the face. (Disclaimer here: every one of us are different. What works for me may not work for you, and vice versa.)

I didn't see any notable lightening results as well but I think that is quite understandable since I only use this not more than once a week.

Here is a summary of Adrenaline Neuraw's Pros and Cons:

Pros

  • All organic materials
  • No harmful ingredients
  • Made my skin so soft and smooth
  • Did its job well
  • 250g lasted long

Cons

  • Leaves a slight greasy feeling
  • No significant lightening results
  • Not for facial use (at least for me)
  • You can try to DIY this at home for lesser cost

Will I repurchase?

Hmmmm, probably not. Rraw has a wide variety of scrubs that look great so I will probably try those the next time I do a haul from them (I'm eyeing the coffee and charcoal scrubs).

Anyway, that's it for my review! I hope this helped.
