St. Ives Green Tea Blackhead Clearing Scrub Review

I've used the St Ives apricot scrub alot in the past so I was really keen to try this one when I saw it in the beauty vault. The packaging is a white squeezy tube with green writing, a picture of green tea leaves and the St Ives brand name at the top. The scrub is a green paste that smells really refreshing. The texture is quite smooth with just a little bit of grit so it's quite gentle on my face. I've been using it 2-3 times a week and I'm really liking it, it leaves my skin soft and refreshed everytime. I didn't notice it clearing my blackheads, although I don't really get alot of them anyway and it didn't calm any redness but I would definitely keep buying this one because of the smell and how it leaves my face feeling, it does really clean it well.

St Ives is probably most famous for it's apricot face scrub, which is such a good product! This green tea version is a step down in terms of 'scrubbiness", it's much more gentle and less gritty. It is supposed to be blackhead clearing and I'm not sure if I've seen that yet (although my blackheads are very small anyway). This is definitely one that I'll keep buying as it leaves my skin feeling really soft and clear.

I thought the apricot scrub was my favourite, but then I found this! The scrub is of much finer texture and of a greeny herby sweet smell. You only need a pea sized amount, then gently rub it around on your wet face. After using this my face feels clean and smoother, but using more than a pea sized blob results in tight feeling skin. The scrub texture on this is like fine sand, where the apricot scrub is much more coarse.

I think it targeted my blackheads and it is a very good scrub leaves your skin clean and fresh. Certainly will use time and again the whole range as they all scrub very well.

This blackhead formula is the best face wash st ives has by my opinion. It's super super gentle but you can feel it scrubbing away. I just finished my last bottle and once again the price is super affordable too. So stock up! It smells nice and lasts around a month and a half with regular use.

Don't do it!!! Too abrasive and harsh for actually anyone's skin..drying and so bad for my skin. I used the scrub on my feet instead.

The packaging on mine is a bit different but I'm sure it's the same. I like the texture of this scrub it's abrasive enough to remove dead skin but also fine enough that it doesn't feel like a gel with beads like some other products that dont evenly remove dry skin. It smells nice and my skin feels super smooth afterwards. You only need a small amount it goes far. Definitely a favourite this one. As far as removing blackheads it does a fair job but to be honest no product I have tried actually delivers 100% on this.
