St. Ives Green Tea Blackhead Clearing Scrub Review

I'm relatively busy with work at the moment so i'm really looking for products that are easy to use, and do what they say they will do.

I was excited to recieve my free full sized sample of this product because i have ALWAYS had blackheads, pretty much a lot on my nose but not really anywhere else. Not really super noticeable, but it has always frustrated me. So I was keen to give this scrub a whirl.

Instructions - really simple and easy to follow. So I've been using it every second day in the shower, straight after my cleanser.

It's the colour of avocado or guacamole and it's got a really nice fine scrub texture. Not too coarse or harsh like some scrubs.

Applied in small circular motions and left on for a few minutes to really let it soak in. It smells nice so that made this part a lot easier.

I've been using it for just over a week now, so five times, and i'm actually really surprised to that i have less visible blackheads on my nose, which is really cool. So all signs point to it doing what it says it will.

This scrub claims to get rid of black heads, I don't personally have any huge blackheads but like most people I get texture and bumps around my nose. This scrub completely cleared up any clogged pores I had on my nose and my nose literally felt so smooth after.

It has a gentle exfoliating feel, it isn't a harsh scrub but you can definitely feel that it is cleaning and really unclogging any pores. It also has green tea in it so it smells amazing.

I was skeptical that something you only rub on your face for half a minute would be able to clear up my pores but it really did. I use this probably 3 times a week and my skin stays smooth in between uses as well.

The packaging is great, it comes in an easy squeeze tube so you can just squeeze out as much as you think you need for you face.

Definitely recommend this, its so much easier and faster than pore masks and it does the same job if not better.

I fell in love with the scent as soon as I used it... however within a day my skin broke out and looked awful. I felt like I had a zillion 'blind pimples' and swore I'd never use it again. I persisted, and incredibly the spots never eventuated. My skin is clear and with minimal redness and I can see a noticeable difference in the pore size on my nose.

Now this might be gross but I actually suffer from blackheads not only on my face but in my armpits (sees the town folk with their pitchforks charging towards me)

I had a few scrubs on the go when I got this green tea blackhead clearing scrub so decided to really put it to the test by using in the shower, as a skin scrub for all areas of my body and wow did it impress me.

The fragance is fresh but not overpowering and the squeeze tube is a soft plastic so you are able to squeeze the very last drop out which is a big bonus for me. Brightly coloured green with a slight grit to the texture this scrub smooths onto the skin in a more gentle fashion to some other scrubs, but it has power and after only a few days of use I noticed that almost all those problems areas were free from those pesky blighters.

It has landed in my shopping trolley this week as I ran out just the other day and I already miss using it in the shower.

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.

I expected it to be much grainier but in reality, it is quite smooth with only a slight sprinkling of beads so it's great for sensitive skin like mine! I can't say it removed many blackheads but I did notice a visible smoothness after using, and redness was reduced. Often, exfoliants will strip my skin of natural oils and cause it to become dry but there wasn't an issue with this product. The smell is heavenly too!

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.

St ives have done it again. If you like the apricot scrub you will love this. The scrub smells devine, and spreads over your skin easily. I love the way my skin felt so much smoother after the first use - the results are pretty much instant. After use, I found that foundation went on a lot cleaner. There was no need to moisturize as the scrub left my skin feeling dewy.
