I just picked the St. Ives Green Tea Scrub up at Target the other day and have already given it a go. I usually go for the Blemish and Blackhead Apricot one, but I felt like trying something new (something which doesn't happen so often (scrub-wise) because I've used the other one for YEARS).

I actually really like this one. It smells fantastic (like green tea ice cream!), just like the Green Tea Cleanser, which is also pretty great. It's also really gentle. The grains are a lot smaller than the ones in the apricot scrubs, but even though the grains are smaller, it doesn't feel like you're rubbing one grain of sand across your face. The grains cover everywhere and give a great scrub. It made my skin super soft.

It has the same active ingredients as the B&B apricot scrub, 2% salicylic acid, so it should be just as effective on spots. The green tea in it is supposed to calm redness, too.

So basically... I love this. I don't know whether it can replace the other St. Ives one I use, but I think I'd keep both of them around or alternate or something.

What's your favorite scrub?
