Review :: St. Ive’s Green Tea Face Scrub

Fighting with cleaning your pores completely? This might just be the scrub for you.

I’ll be the first to admit that I have really annoying pores. Especially on my chin. Anyone else have this? It just seems like they never come clean. As I’m getting a little older, I’m a little more aware of what I’m putting on my face, and while I love scrubs, I’m getting a little bit more wary due to the fact that scrubs can make your pores bigger. That I do not want! I have enough issue with that.

The Product

The first thing that I noticed is that you can’t feel the “scrub” part of it. It feels almost smooth going on, and as I cleaned my face I noticed that “scrubby” nature of the cleaner come through. I couldn’t tell if it was dry skin coming off that was making it more “scrubby” or just the green tea grit.

After rinsing off my face, the next thing I noticed was that this visibly cleaned my pores. It feels really nice going on, and when washing it off it feels like it has this cooling effect on my skin.

The Packaging

St-Ives-Green-Tea-Scrub-02

This is slightly different from the one that is on the shelves (that I’ve seen) in Toronto – I’m not sure if it’s because Natalie is from Montreal or they changed it completely again. Either way, it’s extremely clean looking. I’m actually a fan of how the new one looks as well, but it’s an easy to use container, and the lid doesn’t get gunked up with product either. This might last me forever since I only use a pea sized amount, and it’s a big tube.

The Verdict

I’m extremely happy to have added this to my almost daily routine. I even encouraged my mom to try this one out, since she uses the apricot scrub and was looking for something new on her face. Definitely recommend this one since it’s definitely more gentle and still extremely affordable!

How do you enjoy St Ive’s products? Any other suggestions for scrubs to try?
