Is Voi Body Scrub Worth It? My Honest Review for Sensitive Skin

This is not a sponsored post.

Hello, everyone! It's been 8 years since I last posted and I can see that a lot of you still check out this blog from time to time. Special shoutout to my readers from Norway, Hong Kong, Singapore (my ever loyal readerbase), Romania, Vietnam, and the US! Thank you for stopping by this past week!

So, where have I been? I'm a mom and I've been raising and homeschooling my son. By the way, if you want mommy, lifestyle, and homeschooling/education posts, please jump over the pond to my Life by Lady E blog.

So, today I have this product for you that I can't wait to share. Now that I am a mom and healing MCAS/histamine flares, my choice of beauty products has changed. I was sensitive before but now, I'm super sensitive!

And when you have super sensitive skin (like I do), trying a new scrub feels like gambling with your glow and your sanity. You don't want to suddenly cause a flare or hives, do you? I’ve had reactions to body wash, lotion, even facial tissues. So I was very cautious about this one. But it was on BOGO at S&R, and after reading the label, I decided to give it a shot.

I've been using it a month now, twice a week. Here's what I experienced.

What’s in the Voi Body Scrub?
This product claims to:

Gently cleanse and exfoliate
Leave your skin glowing
Natural fruit seeds, in this case strawberry
Alcohol-free
Whitening effect

It comes in a generously sized bottle with a creamy texture and visible exfoliating grains—but not the kind that scratches. Maybe because it's made with natural fruit seeds.

Texture & Scent
If you're tired of scrubs that feel like sandpaper, you'll love this. It’s gritty but not harsh, and the creamy base helps it glide over the skin. The scent is strawberries and cream but I feel like it's too sweet. Haha! I'm not a huge fan of the scent but that's okay because I layer scents.

I'm not sure about the whitening effect though. I bought this because I needed a body scrub and I don't want to use St. Ives again. Let's see if my skin lightens up after a few more months.

How I Use It
I use this 2 times a week in the shower for my whole body. I apply generously. When you rinse it off, you'll be left with a silky feeling but I always follow-up with soap whenever I use a body scrub to make sure that I get all those itty bitty grains off because I don't want a reaction. So, I'm not really left with the silky, moisturized feeling.

My Results

No rashes, no redness, no breakouts.
Skin feels noticeably smoother after each use

My skin type: dry, sensitive, and sometimes reactive to a lot of things including harsh scrubs and strong fragrances.

Final Thoughts
Is it worth it? YES.
At the BOGO price (I think it was Php299), I got two for less than what I usually pay for one high-end scrub. For sensitive-skin users like me, it’s a win. If you’re looking for a budget-friendly option that actually works, give Voi a try. It comes in Kiwi, too, which I don't ever want to try because I'm allergic to kiwis.

Soul Notes: For Your Journal Tonight

Come sit with me for a while. I have my journal open, and tonight I’ve been thinking about something I suspect I do more often than I realize. I turn healing into another thing I need to accomplish. I want to know when I’ll be over something. When I’ll stop thinking about it. When something that hurt will finally stop hurting. When I’ll feel like myself again. And somewhere along the way, healing quietly becomes another deadline. Another invisible date on a calendar. Another thing I can somehow be late for. But maybe healing doesn’t work particularly well under project management. Maybe there are things I will understand quickly and things I’ll have to revisit again and again. Maybe I’ll feel completely fine one day and unexpectedly tender the next. That doesn’t mean I’ve gone backwards. It means I’m still moving through it. I remember one day, many years ago, when I had fibromyalgia. I lived in constant pain. I just couldn’t get a good day. And then one day, in the office...

Used to the Last Drop: The Ones I’d Already Told You About

There’s something particularly satisfying about finishing a product you’ve already written about. Not testing it. Not forming first impressions. Not wondering whether I’ll still like it three weeks from now. Finished. My Molang Honey sheet masks and this body scrub both made it all the way to the end. (Finally for the Molang sheet masks, right?) I’ve reviewed both before, so I won’t review them all over again here. But perhaps using something until there is nothing left to use is its own kind of review. Beauty products come through my bathroom rather frequently. Some are lovely for a week. Some get pushed to the back of a shelf. Some simply stop working for me. And then there are the ones that quietly disappear because I kept reaching for them. Maybe an empty container is the shortest review of all. I liked it enough to finish it.

Part 1: I Finally Had Enough of My Dry Feet and Did Something About It

I have been annoyed with my feet for months. Not because there was anything particularly wrong with them. They were just dry . Really dry. And you know I have a problem with dryness (hello skin, lips). And somehow, despite noticing this constantly, I kept doing absolutely nothing about it. The moment that gets me every time is when I’m waiting for my son at piano class. I’ll sit down, cross my legs, look down at my slip-ons or sandals and there they are. My dry, flaky feet. Then I become painfully aware that there are other people sitting beside me who can probably see them too. 😂 Every time, I think, I really need to do something about this. And then piano class ends, life resumes, and apparently my feet are no longer part of my jurisdiction. Eventually, I had enough. I found this Mond’Sub Chamomile Foot Peeling Spray at KKV and decided that my poor neglected feet were finally getting some attention. The process wasn’t glamorous. There was peeling skin involved. There were bits...
