One of my skin care staples!
I picked up the Green Tea Scrub after the Apricot exfoliator was way too harsh for my skin. This scrub is great! It smells wonderful and it is gentle yet effective. I have fairly mild acne and sensitive skin - this product works perfectly for me and I found that it does NOT irritate my acne or my skin. I exfoliate with this product about twice a week and while I'm not sure it's effectiveness on my acne or oil, I know it is helping to clear some of the dead skin cells on my face. The morning after I use this product, I can see a visible improvement in the application of my face makeup. I would definitely pick up this product and incorporate it into your weekly skin care routine (although not as a daily wash!).

Love - I use it every night !!
Absolutely love this product. Previously I was using more expensive products in hopes of clearing my acne but they weren't working so I decided to try a cheaper route and thats when I found this product. I've been using it for about 6 months now and my acne is almost cleared. I don't think this product alone helped clear my skin but its been working for me and I encourage others to try it out considering its inexpensive.

Pros:

Smells great
Great for black heads
Leave face smooth
Gets rid of flakes
You can find it at the grocery store

Cons:

If your acne is flaring it might be too harsh
Wish it was more natural

I really like this scrub, it isnt too harsh and it has Salicylic Acid which is good for acne. I use it about 3 times a week and scrub very lightly, just enough that I feel it but not hard to the point that my face is red. If I had an open pimple (just popped) I would not use it in that area because it does have scrubers and for a pimple that has been popped it wouldnt be the greatest thing. This product is best for black heads or dry skin flakes. Best when used with a good moisturizer! And it has jojoba esters! I also do yogurt masks about twice a week (leave on uintil all dried then wash off) and I use Daniel Kerns jojoba moisturizer and his benzoyl peroxide gel and my face has been very happy! Before I started all this my face was flaring up and horrible, so far so good!

Pros:

smells nice
travel size available

Cons:

scrubbing beads are too harsh on face
doesn't completely clear acne

St. Ive's Green Tea Scrub is something that I use every once in a while when i feel like my face needs a good deep cleaning. i would not recommened using it every day as a staple face wash but i think it does a nice job at making my face feel vibrant, soft, and fresh.

Pros:

Smells great
Sensitive on the skin
Reduces redness
Many ways you can use it
Removes make up thoroughly!

Cons:

None that I can tell so far

I Love this product! I use it in the am and pm and it makes my skin feel refreshed! I feel like it does a good job of getting everything that's on my skin off and cleared away. Plus, it's a really gentle exfoliator that's great for everyday use. It never dried out my skin or made it red. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone that asked.

Love it

Pros:

smells amazing
makes my skin feel super soft
helps my skin heal faster

I use this scrub 2 or 3 times a week. Any more than that is too harsh for my skin. I like how it removes dull skin and makes my skin brighter and softer. I love it so much it is amazing! When i have a scab or something after a pimple goes down, the scrub majorly speeds up the healing time.

Pros:

Smells great

Cons:

Tiny stone-like things get left behind on face/get in eyes
Does absolutely nothing
Made my face break out
Left my face feeling dry/tight

I would not recommend this product as it does absolutely nothing to help acne/break outs (at least in my case). In fact, i broke out more than usual after i started using it. Will definitely switch back to my regular St.Ives scrub for sensitive skin, as it did a better job at preventing acne than this product which was actually designated to the prevention of acne.

Pros:

-Smells nice
-Nice exfoliators
-Exfoliates well
-Reduces redness
-Only need a little to cover face
-Nice refreshing effect

Cons:

-Doesn't clear acne (use the St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser)

The is product is amazing ! The consistency is so thickly packed with mini exfoliator beads so sensitive skin people can use this. After rinsing this product off, the face feels so refreshed and it looks radiant.

I love this scrub. I currently use it about every other day, but have gone through periods of using it every day without problems. It really helped to smooth out the texture of my skin. Can be used as a mask, too.
