St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Scrub - Green Tea - Pack of 3 Scrub, 6 oz

I really like this granular exfoliating scrub. Good oil control: My skin feels noticeably clearer after using it, perfect for oily/combination skin. The scrub particles are still physical: Although fine, rubbing too hard can still damage sensitive skin or skin with active acne. Scent: It has a characteristic green tea scent, but it might be a bit strong for those sensitive to fragrances. Reduces blackheads: The effect is clearly visible on the sides of the nose after about 2-3 weeks of regular use. Frequency: Although the manufacturer says it can be used daily like a facial cleanser, it's best to only use it 2-3 times a week to avoid thinning the skin. How to massage: Gently massage with your fingertips in a circular motion, focusing on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin). Don't press too hard. Suitable skin types: Especially good for oily, combination skin, and skin with many blackheads. Avoid using on extremely sensitive skin or skin with many inflamed pimples. Green tea extract: Rich in antioxidants, helps soothe areas of skin irritated by acne. • 1% Salicylic Acid (BHA): This is the "star" ingredient that deeply cleanses pores and dissolves sebum – the main cause of blackheads. • Scrub beads (Silica): Uses smaller and finer silica beads compared to the walnut shell powder in the apricot line, helping to remove dead skin cells with less abrasion. • Olive leaf extract: Provides gentle hydration, preventing the skin from feeling too dry or tight after washing.
