St. Ives Green Tea Blackhead Clearing Scrub Review

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.

The first thing that overwhelmed me was the smell of the scrub even before opening the package. It smells incredibly good and refreshing. It smells more like cucumber than green tea.

My skin has been clear for months but I recently started breaking out uncontrollably and did not know the cause and still don't. Needless to say the opportunity to try this product was a good timing as I was feeling very frustrated.

The product is a green paste, the texture was nice and not as rough as most scrubs typically are. Only a small amount is needed. Glides onto skin relatively smoothly, well as smooth as a scrub can be. It is gentle on the skin keeping in mind my forehead was quite bumpy the first time I used the scrub. I thought it may irritate my skin but it did not. Even though my skin is a little dark I still get redness however I did not experience as much of it as a usually do which was great.

My skin, especially my cheeks felt very smooth afterwards. My face felt clean and it did not dry out. Even though I have been taking medication for my skin I think that the scrub has definitely also help get rid of the bumps. Over the last few days they have receded and therefore I'll keep it in my routine.

It's also great to get rid of makeup after cleansing with something gentle beforehand. Although it did somewhat reduce my acne, I did not notice much difference in terms of my blackheads which are mostly on my nose. Still looks the same but it does feel smooth after exfoliating.
