St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I have always used this product on/off in my life and it is a true classic. Used once or twice a week this stuff does a great job with exfoliating without causing breakouts or skin irritation. It also smells divine! I would recommend to pretty much anyone as most people I know who have used this product also, have had no issues.

If you like the smell of apricot then you will love this. The scent reminds me a lot of apricot yoghurt - it's subtle, sweet and delicious.

This has micro beads that slough your skin off to get rid of any nastiness and reveal the new skin underneath.

I have dry, sensitive skin so this was a little harsh on my face but I actually ended up using it on my legs during summer to keep them looking glowy and it made them feel soft and look nice.

On my face, however, it felt a little too coarse and left my skin really dry. It did take the old skin off and exfoliate well but it left my face feeling a little raw and red.

You get a lot in the tube and this lasted me for around 6 months (I wasn't using it daily however).

If you have normal/oily skin I would recommend it as it does what it says it will, smells amazing and is affordable. However if you're like me and have dry sensitive skin, I would recommend you try something else.

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 scrub is ok - I'm not a personal fan mainly because I've found ones that are more effective, however for the price it's ok. I thought that the exfoliating bits in the product can be quite uneven in shape and sometimes can be quite scratchy.

Sadly this product makes me break out! I love the exfoliation factor but something in it reacts badly. I use a face clothe but find the beads stick around. In saying all this its good value for the money you pay.a little goes a long way!!

I have used this scrub on and off for many years, as I find it can be quite harsh on the skin. When used I find it gives me the smoothest skin that gives a great base for any makeup application. Yet it can be extremely drying if over used and it does feel very harsh on the skin. It feels as if every time I use it I am stripping away natural oils off my face that are very essential to it's health. There is no doubt that it is exfoliating, but at what cost to your skin. The price is reasonably for a product that does do what it says and seems to be reasonably natural. Overall I will probably re-purchase is the future, as I swap between different products regularly and I know that this can work.

The product comes in a nice squeezy tube,smells good, thick creamy consistency,and has brown exfoliating particles.Normally I use this scrub to exfoliate my body,I think it helps to keep in grown hairs at bay. I did use this scrub on my face when I first got into scrubs, it left my skin soft, smooth, and clear. After using this only a regular basis I did notice that my skin looked healthier.I will still go back to this scrub if I run out of my higher end exfoliators.

Yes yes yes!! This is my one and only. Not only affordable in price but a great exfoliator . I use it all over my body and especially after shaving to prevent in grown hairs !! I wouldn't recommend for sensitive skin but I'm pretty sure ST Ives did a sensitive skin version . This is too harsh for my face but perfect for my body

This product is definitely addictive, it leaves such a nice and smooth feeling after use. I have used this product over and over because of this effect however I have quite clear skin so don't know what the results of clearing up skin would be like.

This scrub is great for frequent use. I use it every second day and it is great for getting rib of make up residue and any impurities. Your skin feels lovely and soft afterwards and it has never caused me any irritation even though I have quite sensitive skin. The smell is nice and subtle.
