St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I personally really like this scrub. It smells really nice and leaves my skin feeling soft and smoothe. Only thing is, I wouldn't recommend someone using it 3-4 times a week as it says, and I feel it's a bit too harsh for the face (especially if you have sensitive skin). I personally just use it on my body in the shower with an exfoliating mitt once or twice a week and it works a treat :)

This scrub is far too harsh for your face. The walnut shells and apricot cores are rough and cause damage to your skin with the sharp uneven edges. You shouldn't exfoliate every day as it's damaging to your skin also. I would never use this again, maybe on my feet.

I have been using this face scrub for a few weeks now and really like it. I particularly like the smell and the apricot pieces. It is definitely very effective in removing dead skin, but I would not use it every day, or even the 3-4 times a week that are recommended as it is pretty strong.

My dry skin didn't really like this scrub. Was a little too rough and left my skin striped. I could only use this once a week tops. May be better for oily skin but definitely wouldn't recommend to those with dry or sensitive skin.

This is a great exfoliator for your body or dry elbows, knees and heels. This should not be recommended for the face as the 'scub' is actually walnut shells which causes micro tears in the skin. whether you have sensitive skin or not this is damaging the skin on the face. On a plus side it does smell devine!!!

Nice clean and simple packaging, easy to read and I love that this isn't tested on animals.

The product squeezes out easily and you can see the bits of ground up apricot kernel? (I read the ingredients list but I am still unsure, it might be walnut?). It's good at exfoliating and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth afterwards but I also find it drying if used too frequently (it says on the tube use 3-4 times a week, this is too much for me; twice a week is ample for my skin). Make sure you use a light touch to exfoliate so you don't damage you skin too much and follow with a good moisturiser.

I used to buy this all the time when I was younger as it was affordable and effective. The scratchy-ness off it makes me concerned for the damage it could be doing to my facial skin so I no longer use it for that purpose. I bought it again recently on a supermarket spend but have used it more as a body scrub. It lasts a long time too so it makes it great value for money.

I've been using this off and on for a long time. Leaves my skin feeling baby soft but I only use it twice a week - max otherwise my skin gets too dry if I exfoliate too often. Will always be a safe 'go-to' product for me. And the smell is devine!

I use this once in awhile, rather than religiously 3-4 times a week. I have sensitive skin, but like the amount of grit that st ives has (when i use only once in awhile) and always leaves me feeling like i have had a good clean of my skin. I think it would be too harsh for my skin type to be using daily however.

I used to use this scrub everyday, as it didn't irritate my skin and made it so soft and smooth. I loved the creamy texture and how effective it felt at getting my face clean and fresh. It's also a great price.

I've stopped using it now however, as it can cause micro-tears in the skin and I don't want to damage my skin. I've moved on to the Trilogy exfoliant, which is very effective but not quite as harsh as this one, and is natural. I will however, buy it again to use as a body scrub because it would be fantastic as a weekly exfoliator.

When I first used this I had an exfoliating glove on aswell as using this. I dont recomended doing that as you can reaally feel it taking of the dry skin even with out a glove. I do love this product just dont use it everyday. It did everything ot said it would and smelt amazing
