♥ it did control my blemishes and black heads and thats the main reason why i purchased this for
♥ oil free and gel based (best for oily skin like me)
♥ it does the job as a cleanser
♥ i cant remember the exact price but i think its reasonable for almost 200ml, the price was around P200 pesos, more or less $4-5


Dislikes
-for some of you, you might not like it coz it contains fragrance, Silica/Silicone, Phenethyl Alcohol
-very big bottle, i dont like stuffs lasting more than a month i feel it will expire lolz Over Acting, i like to buy 50ml and then buy another one again that is just newly made hehe

Conclusion
Ive been using this for 3 weeks now and im loving it :) i broke out badly i dont know why? :( again jeez there is a week where my skin is so pretty and there is a week where i have zits, the weather is killing my skin! TT^TT


St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub

♥ smells sooooo Good
♥ not irritating, its very gentle
♥ does the job well :D
♥ i use it sometimes not only on my face but neck and body :P obsessed? hehe


Dislikes
-for some of you dont like alcohol in your products pls dont buy this ive seen Alcohol 5 times in the ingredients
-i have nothing bad to say about it, i love love this product!!

Conclusion
i love it i 100% recommend this for normal and oily skin types, since it contains alcohol i will not advice this for Dry Skin. i first bought the tiny tube to test this out, if youre going to try any product for the first time, its a given to buy a sampler size.



Other issues/tips
They both help somehow in controlling my oils, i dont over use them because it will only cause more oiliness, any product or face wash i overly use will cause oil. Anyway what i use for oil control is Ponds Matte, then for blemishes red spots (zits leftovers lolz) i use Garnier Lemon anything scrub or mask, lemon helps the redness go away :) 


Q: Do you use this? What do you gals think about it?
