St. Ives

This moisturizer has some strong positives and negatives. It has never broken me out, which 99% of moisturizers tend to do, and it's very affordable and generously sized. However, as someone with dry skin, the moisture it provides is not long-lasting at all. Minutes after applying it, my face feels as dry and shriveled as it did before. Consequently, I do think this moisturizer is more suitable for people with oily skin.

got it for about S$10, and was hoping it would clear up my blackheads but it didn't. works well as a regular scrub, leaves the skin soft and does not strip off too much oil. However it is not as it claims. I dont have stubborn blackheads but this product does not remove them at all. Ive tried many ways to make this product work like opening up my pores with a warm towel placed on my nose, massaging it for a few minutes (yes, a few minutes), using pore cleaning brushes together with this product, etc. but none of it helped. Ive used a whole tube of this but still see little to no difference in my skin, it left me very much disappointed, especially for this price range. Also, probably something to note: when i got this, the statements "oil-free salicylic acid acne medication", "purpose: treat acne" and "use: treats acne" was covered up, so i guess it does not treat acne. Would recommend this as a normal scrub, but if youre looking for something to remove blackheads or treat your acne, id suggest you to give this a pass

Last summer, I had a hankering for a coconut body wash, so I bought this. It's fine, but the coconut scent could be a lot stronger--it is VERY subtle. The body wash could also be creamier. It isn't drying, which is good, but it's not particularly moisturizing or softening either. Like all St. Ives products, this body wash is very cheap and generously sized. I probably won't repurchase this scent, but I will almost certainly try other scents in the future. (This isn't, by a long shot, the first St. Ives body wash I've used up, and somehow I know it won't be the last.)
