St Ives. Blemish Control Green Tea Gel Cleanser
  • Green tea soothes skin and prevent redness
  • Salicylic acid prevents blemishes
  • Moisturises skin
  • Gentle, hypoallergenic, dermatologist tested formula
  • Better if used with St Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Scrub
Views:

I had started using this product after I had tried the St Ives Apricot Scrub. I assumed that this product would be just as great. It is true that this product has helped me out with the acne and soothes and cleans the skin perfectly. Overall, I love the product and would repurchase it. But if I am not mistaken this has been discontinued. The packaging makes it easier to pump out some product for daily use and the smell is not bad. 

I can also confirm that all the products that I have used from St Ives brand have been very satisfying. I have no complaints against the product and its line. 

FEATURES:

Cleans and Protects

St. Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Gel Cleanser deep cleans to gently remove dirt and makeup while helping to maintain skin's moisture balance. This formula contains 100 percent natural green tea, which is rich in Vitamins C and E, to soothe redness and protect skin from environmental factors and free radicals that can age skin.

Fight Blemishes and Moisturizes

To prevent new blemishes from forming, salicylic acid controls oil. The formula cleanse gently and can help skin look and feel soft and moisturized.

Non-Comedogenic and Paraben-Free

This non-irritating, dermatologist tested cleanser works on all skin types. It contains no parabens and is also hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic, which means it won't clog pores.

Easy to Use

This cleanser is easy to use. Pump a small amount in the palm of your hand or directly on to fingertips and massage on face with gentle, circular motions, avoiding the eye area. When you're done, the cleanser rinses clean away to reveal cleaner, fresher skin.

Use twice daily for best results.

For a brighter complexion, use St. Ives Blemish Control Green Tea Gel Cleanser with Blemish Control Green Tea Scrub.

Yves Rocher - Apple Star Anise Refreshing Shower Gel





Claims from Yves Rocher:

Feel the pleasure of a refreshing shower


Under the shower, discover the refreshing scent of crisp Apple combined with the essential oil of Star Anise*. Enriched with soothing organic Aloe Vera gel, this shower gel gently cleanses your skin, leaving it delicately scented with refreshing notes.


Secret of the Botanical: Yves Rocher selected Apple for its tangy scent and combined it with the essential oil of Star Anise* to reveal all its fruity freshness. This refreshing blend evokes the sensation of biting into a crisp apple under the hot sun on a summer afternoon.

Botanical ingredients: Apple water, Star Anise essential oil contained in the fragrance, Aloe Vera Gel from Organic Farming
100% recyclable bottle
Botanical cleansing base
Paraben free.

* Essential oils contained in the fragrance


I find the product to be very unique as this combination of Apple and Star Anise is the first time I've tried.

The product comes in three sizes: 50ml, 200ml and 400ml.

I have used this quite a few times and it is quite refreshing.

The only time I did purchase the product is when I purchased the 200ml one for Rs125 (Mauritian Rupee). However, the other times I only received them as gifts. 

I am not a very great fan of this shower gel. I won't personally repurchase it.

If you think likewise or differently please let me know in the comment boxes below.

2. Avon Far Away Shower Gel

I have been using this shower gel from time to time over the years as I simply love the scent. It has changed packaging over the years as well.

3. Yves Rocher Fleur de Tiare Shower Gel

This is one of the cheapest shower gel I have ever used and I am in love with its scent. It is very different from the other shower gels I usually use. The best thing about it is that after the shower, even the bathroom is left with an overpowering scent.

4. Benefit BAD gal Lash Mascara

This is known to be one of the best mascaras being sold around the world. But this one did not work well for me. I found that it smudged and flaked - it made me feel that I had racoon eyes after I wore it throughout the day. Not a best buy for me.

5. EDP Nina L'eau

This perfume was the first perfume my better half gifted me and hence meant a lot to me. I would totally recommend this to the girls out there. It really lasted me a long way
