ST IVES BLEMISH CARE FACE WASH WITH TEA TREE EXTRACTS 200ML

St. Ives blemish Care Tea Tree Face Wash (made with salicylic acid and 100% natural tea tree extract) removes dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin’s surface to fight breakouts and prevent future ones.

The St. Ives Blemish Care Face Wash with Tea Tree Extracts is a facial cleanser specifically formulated to help combat and prevent breakouts. Unlike the brand’s popular scrubs, this is a daily face wash designed for people with blemish-prone or oily skin.

Key Ingredients & Their Purported Benefits

• Tea Tree Extract: This is a key ingredient known for its natural antiseptic and anti-inflammatory properties. Tea tree extract is effective in fighting the bacteria that cause acne and helps to soothe inflamed skin.
• Salicylic Acid: This is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is a well-known and highly effective acne-fighting ingredient. Salicylic acid works by penetrating deep into the pores to exfoliate and break down dead skin cells and excess sebum, which helps to unclog pores and prevent blackheads and whiteheads.
• Glycerin: Included to provide moisture and prevent the skin from feeling overly dry or tight, which can sometimes happen with acne-fighting cleansers.
• Other ingredients: This formula includes other common cosmetic ingredients like gentle surfactants (like Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate and Cocamidopropyl Betaine) to cleanse the skin, as well as preservatives and fragrance.

Reported Benefits

According to St. Ives, this Blemish Care Face Wash with Tea Tree Extracts is claimed to:

• Fight Breakouts: The combination of tea tree extract and salicylic acid works to clear existing blemishes and prevent new ones from forming.
• Deep Cleanse: It removes dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin’s surface, helping to keep pores clear.
• Gentle on Skin: Despite its blemish-fighting properties, the formula is designed to be gentle enough for daily use without over-drying or irritating the skin.
• Non-Comedogenic and Oil-Free: It’s formulated not to clog pores and is suitable for oily and acne-prone skin types.
• Dermatologist-Tested: The product is tested by dermatologists to ensure its safety and efficacy.
