St. Ives : Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub

This product is perfect in my eyes :D I only have 2 pimples and that was from when i forgot to wash my face. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STUFF! I am about to buy another bottle! This stuff is the only thing that worked in 5 years! My skin is actually smooth and soft now :) and its not too harsh. I use it morning and night before toning and moisturizing and its perfect :) I have combination and sensitive skin (which is horrible) and this clears up most of the oil and the acne and its amazing, I completely recommend this product to you, its amazing :) and the green tea feels wonderful :)

I used this for a while because I really wanted it to work. It didn't work for me, as well as a lot of the "naturally clear" products. They always make my acne worse. If you have inflamed acne - you should NOT be using a scrub, it will just irritate it more. I have pretty mild acne, maybe 2-3 spots at a time on my face, or none, and this irritated my acne and made it worse, and made it more noticeable, causing me to want to use it more to make it better. It was a vicious circle. Do yourself a favor, and save your money.

I would definitely recommend this scrub. I have been in love with it since I have first used it and it has made my skin so soft. This is actually the only thing I use to wash my face and I used it twice a day for over a year and I am still using it. I have not experienced any negative side-effects and every time I try using a new scrub or cleanser they always break me out so I return to this one. I do admit it's not a miracle treatment for acne and I still experience the occasional breakout but I attribute that to hormones, not this product. If anything, I use this scrub because it is the only scrub that I trust won't break me out. I don't really use this scrub to treat my acne and I do not think a scrub alone will cure acne it has to be in combination with other products.

Great product. I was disappointed when St. Ives stopped the Alpha-Hydroxy mask (and i still am) but this is a fairly good replacement for my facial once or twice per week. Gives my skin a matte yet healthy look and I have oily skin. Is not harsh and did not irritate any pimples I had. And i just loooooove the smell. I only use it once or twice a week for a facial and I like it.

I've only been using for a few days, so I don't know the long term results yet. However, so far I like this product. The scrub exfoliates your skin & makes it look & feel better instantly.

It's a good product to wash your face with, but it never seemed to stop any pimples. Didn't create any new ones either though.

This product is very confusing to review, though I thought it would be helpful for other people. Let's first start with my acne problem, cause "moderate" just doesn't cut it. I have acne on my cheeks, on my forehead, on my temple area, and on chin. Really, the only part of my face that isn't covered in nasty blemishes is my nose! My cheeks have what looks like red circles under my skin that vary in size. On my chin, i mainly have those pimples that ;ay above my skin (those are just awfully painful!) On my forehead, i have very small blemishes, some sitting on the skin, some underneath, and that's probably the worst part of my acne (either that or my cheeks). And it's not like this whole acne thing is recent - i've had acne for nearly 4 years now. I'm currently in high school, and that's probably the worst part of life to suffer from acne (all the immature teasing and everything). I have sort of a stressful life, and i don't eat as healthy as i should (hehe) I guess that could have an affect on my acne. Sorry for this nasty piece of information, but i figured it would be useful to know when reading my review. Anyways, the scrub itself is complicated. It leaves my skin extremely smooth, and i use it twice a day with nothing else. My skin still seems oily, though the amount of oily has decreased. After about a week of using the product, my skin (especially around my mouth) started to feel extremely tense, like it was hard to smile. That's not really a problem, because it doesn't affect my skin, really (i.e., my skin doesn't look rough/dry or anything, just feels like it). The first few days, my skin was looking good. Though honestly, it just could have been in my head. The whole fact of changing facial routines and stuff. Nonetheless, my skin looks a bit better, though i still get pimples. Overall, the smell is nice and the price is good, but i still don't really see a difference, other than my acne is somewhat controlled, and the oil on

I would recommend this for once weekly usage but no more than that.

I used this twice a day for a little over a week. my skin looked great at first, some blackheads I had came out. then my whole face broke out. stopped using it, still hasn't cleared all the way up but didn't get worse. smelled nice though.

I've been using this for almost a month and it works great! I don't suggest using it if your pimple looks like its about to pop or if puss is showing!
