Continuing my weekly treatment = exfoliation post to “remove dead skin cells in order to reveal softer smoother new skin”, this product is what I use to exfoliate after I finished my Simple Scrub.
Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel lasted me about 5-6 months with twice a week usage, I got it during a promo at Fair Price if I recall correctly. Usual Price SGD$16.90, I got it for SGD$13.90.
Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel
Product Claims!!!
Product Claims:
- Rub away dead skin cells
- Rub away blackheads painlessly
- Refine pores
- Lighten spots
- Remove oil
- Prevent pimples
- Brighten complexion
- Smooth skin
- Whiten skin
- Aid absorption of skincare products
Texture: green gel. I use this to exfoliate my face, twice a week, at night. First, I wash my face with my Avene cleanser. Towel dry my face, then I apply four dots of this marvel gel on my face, forehead, 2 cheeks and chin. I spread the gel evenly all over my face then I start to rub gently in circular motions, upward and outward (my mantra!). Then the gel with the dead skin cells will form into bits like eraser dust. As the product dries, the bits will fell off. Then I just rinse my face. Finally, after this gel, I will proceed with a mask.
Smell: pleasant refreshing cool smell, not exactly green tea but not minty as well.
Verdict: After the ‘eraser dust’ bits fell off and I rinsed my face, WOW, my face felt so soft and smooth and my face is brighter.
I can definitely say this product is effective in its claims to 1. rub away dead skin cells, 7. brighten complexion, 8. smooth skin and 10. aid absorption of skincare products.
I do not use this gel for the sole purpose of blackhead removal thus I cannot testify on the effectiveness of claim 2. rub away blackheads.
As for the claims of 3. refine pores, 4. lighten spots, 5. remove oil, 6. prevent pimples and 9. whiten skin, I believe these are long term effects that comes as regular exfoliation benefits.
Other reviews by Shorthairlady and Jade.
Overall, I like this “peeling” exfoliation as much as I like “grainy scrub” exfoliation. I would alternate between the two depending my mood =)
Until my next review!
