Ginvera Green Tea Whitening Marvel Gel

Another exfoliating product by Ginvera, under their Green Tea line.

Having tried their Nutri White Marvel Gel I decided to give the Green Tea line a go.

Ginvera Green Tea series

Ginvera explains that their Green Tea Whitening series contains Green Tea extract as its main ingredient. Green Tea extract is a strong anti-oxidant that delays the skin’s ageing process and also reduces the damage from sun’s rays. The new and improved Ginvera Green Tea Whitening series is also now enriched with Korean soybean for enhanced whitening of the skin. This unique Korean soybean is fermented with Bacillus Subtilis which will produce Cellplus+ (a soft liquid product that consist plenty of amino acids) which has strong moisturizing and whitening properties. With Green Tea extract and Korean soybean, the newly formulated Ginvera Green Tea Whitening series serves to restore skin’s clarity with its natural ingredients.

6) Regulates and balances oil secretion, prevent pimples
7) Evens out skin tone to give skin clarity
8) Dull and rough skin becomes smoother and fairer
9) Stimulates skin metabolism, skin becomes younger
10) Allows rapid and instant penetration of skincare products applied subsequently

After using almost a whole tube paired with the Green Tea Whitening Cleanser....

I find that there is no significant advantage of the Green Tea Marvel Gel over the Nutri White Marvel Gel. In fact, I find it less effective than the Nutri White Marvel Gel.

The Green Tea Marvel Gel behaves in the same manner as the  Nutri White Marvel Gel - it forms clumps on your face after you massage the gel into your skin. You will feel your skin become smoother and softer after using it, having removed some dead skin and impurities in the outer layer of your skin that had flaked away.

It doesn't irritate the skin, although you will feel a cool sensation on your face, which some people may (or may not) like.  But it definitely does not help in fading pigmentation or freckles.
