Acne Treatment Reviews

What is Melvita Facial Scrub?

Many people who struggle with acne are tired of dealing with harsh chemicals and skin treatments that dry out their skin, making them choose between acne and flaking, dry, red skin. Its no wonder why many skin care lines are choosing to become eco-friendly and organic. Melvita has made a name for itself in the organic beauty world, creating many products that use all-natural ingredients to help beautify and cleanse the skin. Their facial scrub is meant to be used 1-2 times a week to moisturize and refine skin and is suitable for all skin types.

What’s in it?

• Bamboo tears: This “good fortune bringing” moisturizer is meant to nourish dry skin. Actual evidence of this “super healer” is little and this ingredient appears to be more of a fad than effective
• Silica: Exfoliates and nourishes skin for more radiant looking skin
• Pink coralline: A red seaweed that produces jelly to help stimulate skin microcirculation and cellular renewal
• Jojoba wax: Balances oil production by “tricking” the skin into thinking that it has produced enough oil
• Carnauba wax: The wax of the leaves of a palm called copernicia prunifera which is only grown in some of the northeastern Brazilian states. It is usually used in cosmetics to thicken various products such as lipstick eyeliner, mascara, and foundation, but in this facial scrub it is meant to protect skin through its calcium stores

Are there any side effects?

Because the Melvita Facial Scrub only contains natural ingredients with no harsh chemicals, side effects should be minimal to none.

How much does Melvita Facial Scrub cost?

The standard price for a 2.53 oz bottle of this facial scrub is $26 no matter where you buy it. Buying it from the website will give you a 14 day return policy for any unopened merchandise, but there is no money back guarantee.

Is Melvita Facial Scrub worth buying?

Melvita Facial Scrub definitely has its strong points as a skin care treatment. Many who are struggling with acne are probably tired of the irritated skin and chemicals in some of the stronger acne medications, and this product would give them a break from that. That being said, this product is not for those looking to get rid of their acne to any degree. Most of the organic ingredients used in Melvita Facial Scrub have no proof that they will do anything to fight acne, and have little evidence of even being a moisturizer. There is not one ingredient that is clinically proven to have any effect on breakouts or clearing pores. As a moisturizer this product appears to have some decent ingredients for healthier and more radiant looking skin. For a moisturizer that won’t fight acne this product is considered relatively expensive, but if all natural ingredients are more important to you than price, this may be the product for you.
