St. Ives Blemish Care Tea Tree Face Wash 200ml is a daily anti-blemish gel cleanser from the long-running American skincare brand. Built around 100% natural tea tree extract and 2% salicylic acid — designed to help fight blemishes while gently cleansing the skin, in the brand's recognisable green-coded packaging.
About St. Ives
St. Ives is the American skincare brand owned by Unilever, best known for its naturally-derived, accessibly-priced staples — most famously the Apricot Scrub. The brand built its identity on natural-ingredient-led formulas at high-street pricing, with the Blemish Care line targeting acne-prone and breakout-prone skin in the wider face-care range.
Key ingredients
- Salicylic Acid (2%) — beta-hydroxy acid for unclogging pores and helping to clear blemishes.
- Tea Tree (Melaleuca Alternifolia) Leaf Extract — long-associated with blemish-prone skin care.
- Glycerin — for surface hydration to balance the acid step.
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine — gentle cleansing surfactant.
- Menthyl Lactate — for the brand's signature cool, refreshing post-cleanse feel.
Who it's for
Anyone with blemish-prone, breakout-prone or oily skin who wants an accessibly-priced active cleansing step — particularly suited to those who want a salicylic-acid wash without committing to a higher-priced clinical brand. Best paired with a separate moisturiser, daily SPF and a more hydrating cleanser on alternate days.
How to use
- Wet the face with warm water.
- Squeeze a small amount of cleanser into the palms and lather gently.
- Massage over the face in circular motions, avoiding the eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
- Pat dry and follow with toner, serum and moisturiser as usual.
- Use morning and evening; reduce frequency if skin starts to feel dry or irritated.
