Clogged, enlarged pores and blackheads are something I have suffered from since my early teens
and I do blame various acne medications which should never been prescribed to me in the first place -
I'm a drama queen and was more so when I was younger.
I went to the doctors with a small cluster of spots and he said it was acne, a normal person would have laughed and prescribed a life and perhaps a bottle of Clearasil to boot.
Anyway the damage has been done and now I'm in my twenties I will pretty much try anything to help
solve the problem or make my skin a little less flawed.
Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel is a bizarre and totally new concept to me,
it essentially melts off dead skin - I have spared you the visual but little balls of old/dead/dry skin appear
on your face when used correctly...at first I did panic and think "oh no, my face is melting off" but like I said
I am a drama queen and this is what is meant to happen...phew!
You would assume that a product of this nature would have a grainy texture as it is essentially an exfoliant
but Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel is smooth, almost balm like in consistency and despite
being labelled a Green Tea product I find it to be scent free.
To use you simple apply to dry skin, smooth all over the face, leave for around a minute and then rise clean,
you can follow up with a cleanser if you wish.
Truthfully novelty factor aside this has to be one of the best exfoliants I ever used,
as soon as I use it my skin is instantly brightened and smoother all without the harshness of a typical scrub.
I have been using this for around two months now and I have noticed that my pores are clearer
and as a result less noticeable and I very seldom have blackheads any more.
The only problem is that if I don't use this daily, my skin quickly becomes dull and retorts back to how it
once was which is a little disapointing but none the less a great, gentle product.

DeleteThis sounds like a mixture between a miracle product and a science experiment! Although I am very tempted I have to say!

Totally try them out of you can :) never go by one persons opinion particularly on skin care items as we all have very different skin needs :) x
DeleteI have been looking at getting some of this for a while. The price has been putting me off. I will still most likely end up buying this! haha xx

ReplyDeleteAww thank you so much :) x
DeleteI've had this before and I did really like it but it did nothing for my pores around and on my nose, so I haven't repurchased. It is wonderful everywhere else on my face though xo
ReplyDeleteFunnily enough the pores on my nose are my difficult area to clean out, the cheeks I sort with this and pore strips but my nose is a problem area so I feel your pain x
DeleteOmg this sounds amazing, i think it might help with scarring , will be on my xmas wish list!!:)

ReplyDeleteSounds perfect for me, blackheads are the bane of my life!

After months of oogling, I finally bought this and the bb cream which arrived this week. Loving them so far, although now I've checked ebay I'm a little gutted, but I did get the cleanser free so all 3 for £36 isn't too bad.
ReplyDeleteThis is my next beauty bar purchase for sure!!!
