New L’oreal Garnier BodyLight Body Scrub and Body Lotion

November 6, 2008 Paris B 24 Comments

When Garnier brought their skincare into Malaysia a year ago, I would pause by the counter every so often to check it out. The lemony yellow packaging of the Light line was very eye catching in a pharmacy filled with white clinical bottles. I’d sniff the lemon essence and play with the testers but I never got round to trying it. I’d only tried the Garnier tissue mask.

Garnier bodylight lotion scrub

A year later, I was kindly invited by Garnier to the media launch of a new product in the Garnier Light line – the BodyLight Brightening Exfoliating Scrub and BodyLight Whitening Hydrating UV lotion. Yes, Garnier has expanded from face to body. This is so you look even toned all over yes? 🙂

The 3 main ingredients in the Bodylight line are:-

  • Lemon Essence – for exfoliating and illuminating the skin
  • Mulberry Extract – for suppressing and preventing uneven skin ton
  • UV Filters – to protect from the sun and further uneveness

I tested the products in situ and I can tell you that from a first impression, the Bodylight Exfoliating Scrub is simply wonderful! My skin was so smooth after the exfoliation. The body lotion is light and feels refreshing and importantly, sinks right in without feeling sticky! The lemon scent is still very strong and that bugs me a little to be honest but it dissipates after a while.

Garnier says that there will be visible lightening of the skin in 4 weeks with regular usage. They even handed out a ruler that measures the colour of the skin so you can compare. Well, I’m going to put them to the test – give me 4 weeks and I’ll be back to tell you if it really works or not!

Garnier Bodylight Exfoliating Scrub and Whitening Hydrating UV lotion will be available in most pharmacies in Malaysia from mid November 2008.

    It has finally reached our shores, I have seen them in Singapore last year I think. Must admit the current Garnier products are either manufactured in China or somewhere unlike the earlier Garnier products which I saw in the stores in UK in 2002. Garnier is part of Loreal hence their range is slightly cheaper but with all the testing done at Loreal’s labs, there must be a certain degree of goodness in them.

    @Nikki : Let us know if you see it in PH!

    @Penelope:Hmm… so many people using the Garnier for face – I should try!

    @Natalie: Personally, I’m not expecting too much whitening!

    @rinnah : *giggles* Yep! That’s my exact thought haha…

    @celine: Yeah I remember seeing them in Singapore too. Garnier in Asia is produced for the Asian market so we aren’t seeing the same products/manufacturers that you see in Europe. I think its a pretty decent brand.

    I tried this product and I really love it so much. But to much disappointment, I couldnt get Garnier Body Scrub in Singapore anymore. I searched all Watson, PH islandwide and couldnt get it. Can anyone advise me where to get the Garnier Bodey Scrub? I have seen another scrub but is scrub wash, which I suppose is only meant for face. I am looking for Garnier Body Scrub please.

I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskinca I remember when I first tried the #antipodesskincare Aura Manuka Honey Mask. It blew my mind away! Soothes skin. Boosts hydration and just makes you feel like you have the best skin ever! Not kidding. If you have a spot or irritated skin, it calms it down and helps get rid of your spots too. Honey is anti bacterial after all, so it’s a great multitasker. 
I also love the Manuka Honey Skin brightening Day Cream. It’s light but creamy and sinks into the skin. I’ve reviewed them both on the blog in the past. If you run a search for Antipodes, you’d also notice how much I love the brand! 😁
I’m super late with this but if you’re planning to purchase any of these 3 Manuka honey items from TNS Skinlab, the code MYWSTUFF10 will give you an extra 10% off (until tomorrow 31 Dec) I highly recommend grabbing the Aura mask. You’ll never want to be without (I always have a backup!) 
Thanks for the gift @tnsskinlab and I must apologise for my tardiness 😩 I’ll learn to cope better from next week! 
Now I have to scuttle and write my year end musings. Some traditions must be kept! 😜

Place your order, and pick up in store or have it delivered. 
Had a bit of breather today and put together a little video. Blink and miss my little monster 🐶 helping me shop! Not sponsored but I did receive a gift from L’Occitane, for which my sun-exposed, dry dog-walking skin thanks you! 
Haven’t done any Christmas shopping this year. It has only just struck me that it’s but mere days away! 😨 Have you done yours?
