Description
St. Ives Blackhead Clearing Green Tea Scrub is a physical exfoliator that combines walnut shell powder and bamboo powder with green tea extract. The brand says these 100% natural exfoliants work to unclog dirt and oil from pores and deliver clear, radiant, and smooth skin. Green tea is a widely recognized antioxidant, and the scrub also contains salicylic acid, a BHA exfoliant that works inside pores.
Retailer listings list this as non-comedogenic and suitable for sensitive skin per the brand's claims. Physical scrubs offer immediate smoothing but work best used 2–3 times weekly on damp skin. Those with active irritation or barrier damage should patch-test first, as physical exfoliants can be harsh on compromised or reactive skin and gentler options may be preferable.
