On my recent trip we had in Davao to visit my relatives, I had these red spots on my calves (front)! It wasn't itchy nor irritated, but they're just there. I had no idea if I was bitten by mosquitoes or if I had allergies of some sort. I had no clue nor could I recall anything that could make this happen. I was worried what these were.
Just hours before our flight back to Manila, we had a quick stop at CROCODILE PARK. I lost count how many times I've been there. You could see crocodiles plus other animals and get to take pictures together with a python (harmless... I think!), baby orangutan, baby crocodile and a Cockatoo(?). (Was it a Cockatoo?) But one thing that intrigued me besides their Ostrich Ice Cream and Crocodile Ice Cream in different flavors, was their CROCODILE OIL. I've never heard of such a thing. I went inside their souvenir shop and head straight to the skin care products made out of crocodile oil.
At first I was a little skeptical. I do not know anyone who uses crocodile oil in their beauty regimen. They are c-r-o-c-o-d-i-l-e-s! I get scared! I read a pamphlet they handed out and it has lots of benefits for our skin. I instantly thought about these red spots on my calves, thinking this could help me get rid of it.
Besides their best selling crocodile oil, they also sell soaps and lotions made out of this oil as well. I wanted to try it out first if crocodile oil are suited for me. I was a bit hesitant, but wishing it could help me with my skin problem, I decided to buy their small crocodile oil soap (chocolate).
Philcillin Crocodile Oil Soap (Chocolate) 50g | Php190
After crocodile oil penetrates the skin, it can promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis, activate cell regeneration, speed up the metabolism, accelerate the replacement of old skin cells.
I picked the chocolate variant because I love chocolate! It's a 50g crocodile oil soap loaded with benefits of a crocodile's oil and the benefits of chocolate. Before I used it on my calves, I tested it first just to see if I was allergic to it. Thank goodness, I wasn't.
I use this soap everyday for a month to wash my legs (Why not the whole leg reap the soap's benefits and not just the calves?) with this soap. Though the product says it is in chocolate, it rather smells like a peppermint. I find the smell of it unexpected. When the last bit of soap I had was gone, I checked my calves and the red spots finally dried up. I did not experience any redness on my legs when I used this soap. All I got to do now is wait for my skin to fully heal and hopefully these dried brownish spots lighten.
Even with the positive results I had, there is still a part of me that is a little hesitant. I am really not sure if 'd purchase these again on my next visit. Or maybe I just couldn't get my mind off how scary crocodiles are? I had the feeling I still need a little bit more of convincing or time. I would love to read other reviews about the product. There were a lot of people say it was a great find,... but I'm the kind of person who likes to read details on how it worked (or not) on them.
Have you tried crocodile oil as well?
