Review: Revlon Aquamarine Lotion

It was love-at-first-slather.

I first used it on my elbow that was bound for a keloid scar. I got that wound from being dragged by my 9-month old pit who chased a ball while I was walking him (think: asphalted road kissing my skin. and i was too dumb not to let go of my pup's leash).

The wound I had was at its earliest stage of forming an ugly keloid when I used Revlon Aquamarine lotion on it. Thank God for friction massage plus Revlon Aquamarine's collagen-rich formulation, my wound skipped the trip bound to ugly keloidness (is there such a word?), and now, I can barely see the scar.


Revlon Aquamarine Body Lotion for Extra Dry Skin, 437 mL
Vitamin A and Collagen enriched
Purchased at Watson's (also availble in selected grocery marts), 140PHP (~ $3)


The Edge:
  • cheaper than your Victoria's Secret, Calgon and B&BW haul
  • softly scented; boyfie'll tell you, "ang bango mo naman!"
  • love how easily it seeps through the skin! no greasy feel!
  • it's a moisturizer and a keloid-buster in one (for keloids, use Revlon Aquamarine in conjunction with cross-fiber massage)
  • skin gives a healthy glow after application
  • stubborn and dry skin will truly be moisturized!
  • a pea-size covers a big area because of its thick consistency. One big bottle lasts me three months daily use (AM and PM)

Uh-ohs:
  • sooner or later, Revlon Aquamarine won't be available locally (my relatives in the US are having a hard time looking for this already. BTW, US stores sell this for a little over a dollar)
*****************
ROYAL RATING: Spend-worthy? Absolutely! It should get an award. I'm giving it
*****************

Slathering it on area B

You don't need to shell out a lot to get a superb body moisturizer. I say Revlon Aquamarine Lotion deserves to be tested. I've been using it for more than three years now since that fateful pulled-by-the-pup incident (he was technically a pup, he's just 9 months... weighing 27 kilos and with superb gameness). I sure hope you gals can try it out too and relate to the rave I'm doing on the web :)

What's your body lotion staple? Will you want to try Revlon Aquamarine out? Lemme know.
Royally yours, Bleak

    Ah, you just showed a product that i never knew Revlon Made.which made me feel a bit easier of the Milk bath Revlon made that i bought a while ago. ha ha. I never knew they made such products.
    The lotion looks very interesting. It also looks like it whiten up your skin a bit. maybe it just my eyes.

    I don't use much lotion but this looks convincing. I have a huge scar on my leg got it from 7 years ago coz it was a HUGE DEEP scar and it took months to heal properly. I didn't got any professional treatment for it. I want to try this lotion but I don't know if it will work on a 7 year old scar. :p I've been past the scar and I don't actually mind wearing dresses or skirts or shorts with the scar XD

    Hi Yu! wow, a milk bath... im interested!! this lotion does lighten my skin, yes. i should've wrote it in the Edge section. it actually makes my skin brighter and glow-y.

    Nikki, i couldn't agree more with your bro. this is a miracle product for me :) i hope i could've shown my scar via this post but it really isn't obvious anymore (imagine, it was a keloid!)

    Heyya Gia,

    my scar wasn't huge, but it was DEEP. nabalatan talaga skin ko to the point na nakita na yung dermis ko. super sakit kasi exposed na yung nerve endings. hehe, sorry kadiri na.

    hmmm, 7 years is quite a long time. i don't think aquamarine will give you the anti-scarring benefits it gave me.

    Crystal, I honestly don't know why my aunt is suddenly having a hard time looking for this *sad*

    maybe because of low sales volume? i dunno... it's not a famous product after all. too bad for me since this is the lotion ive grown to love, and my VS ones are even trailing behind it (nagtataka aunt ko bakit di nagagamit yung VS na bigay nya :D)
