St. Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Scrub

Happy Saturday! Hope you guys are all having a fabulous day :) So first, I can not stop raving this product to my family, friends, and even strangers! This is by far my best cleanser I had ever tried. Literally.

What this product claims to do: 
 This scrub with skin-soothing green tea gently fights blemishes and reduces redness & irritation caused by acne. The result is clear and calm skin.
  • Hypo-allergenic, non-comedogenic
  • Dermatologist tested
  • Formulated without parabens and phthalates, oil-free
  • Not tested on animals
  • Does not contain animal ingredients

I have pretty bad acne but when I started using this scrub, the redness and bumps went away within 3 days. Note that I used this about a year ago and I stop because there was just no more product. I wanted to try new things but I always come back to this one. Now that I am using this again, I noticed my redness reduce by a lot and the bumps are not as "sticking out" (to all the people who knows what I am talking about!). It does prevent future acne and that's another reason why I love it! The texture of the scrub doesn't feel as hash as many products I tried. It has really small micro beads (maybe even smaller) and it does it's job very well. The smell doesn't really bother me, but if you're a person who doesn't like strong fragrances then you might not like this. I remember using it for the first time and the first thing I noticed was the smell.
Overall, I recommend people using this maybe 2-3 times a week. If you have dry skin then I recommend you to use less. If you have more oily skin then I recommended using it 3 times a week.
