St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I've used this product on and off for many years. I usually shy away from exfoliating scrubs as I have sensitive skin but I find this product does the job without causing extra irritation and I find the scent isn't too overpowering or purfumey!

I previously used this face wash a lot (and my partner loves it - hes a grubby mechanic) however my sister has scared me off it by saying that it's to exfoliating and opens your pores too much! No clue how true this is because I found it to be a good face scrub but I'm hesitant to use it regularly now just incase

This product smells amazing, however almost everything else about it isn't great. It's thick and gloopy and it dries out my skin even only using it twice a week.

I absolutely swear by this product it always makes my legs so much smoother without a doubt and they always look so much more healthy and glowing. Reduces the chance of ingrown hairs a lot and is also great to use all over not just on your legs.

This was my very first facial scrub I ever used and I recall thinking how wonderful it was! I bought this product when it was still the apricot/peach colored packaging as opposed to this plain white bottle we see today.

The scrub had a thick grainy consistency where you had to add a bit of pressure to squeeze the product out of the bottle. The actual scrub looked like a pasty porridge gone wrong but the smell was absolutely devine and quite frankly apricots don't smell THAT good!

I have sensitive skin and this probably wasn't the right facial scrub for me (which I didn't know at the time) because it was too harsh for my skin. It didn't hurt, but rather it was abrasive - bearable but still abrasive.

When I massaged the product onto my face you could feel the tiny grains moving against your skin. I felt that it did a good job at removing dead skin cells but for sensitive skin like mine I needed a more gentle scrub.

I would use this 3 times a week and anymore than that then I would risk having dry areas on my face which is quite unusual considering I have oily skin. I no longer use this product and instead I use an exfoliating cleanser that gets the job done without aggravating my skin.

I bought this, and i thought it did a very great job with getting my make up off. BUT the beads are way too big, and if you keep massaging it into your skin too much, then your skin starts to feel quite raw and sore. I will keep using it, only because it is good value for price, and i still have quite a bit left.

I tried this stuff and I really don't like it. It was really hard to get off and it didn't do much for my face. I will not be using again.

Good reliable product - at a reasonable price. Every now and then I treat myself to high-end exfoliating products but then always go back to St Ives as it is a reliable brand and does what is meant for perfectly fine.

Did what it was meant to, but even using it every second to third day (as according to instructions) was way too hard on my skin
