St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I have used this product in the past. Unless I used the exfoliating scrub, my face did not feel clean!! I did this twice a day however, and when I spoke to a dermatologist she advised me that it was not a good idea to be using a facial scrub every day. This was because while it may make my skin feel AMAZING right now, in the future it may leave my skin more prone to wrinkles. But this product smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. Would definitely recommend it.

I love this scrub. I use it on my face every 2 days in the morning or the evening depending on what I've got going on. Moisten face, rub it on, massage in circles, wipe off. You know the drill. It works a treat. My skin always feels lovely afterwards and it deals to any blackheads that may be arriving on the scene. I haven't actually seen a blackhead since I've started using it, so it's obviously working. I tend to focus my massaging around areas that are problematic at the time and this seems effective.

This is such a great product. One I have been using for years. It works perfectly for me and did everything it said it would.

This was a hard product to rate as I have purchased it multiple times - but not for what it is meant for! I use this as a body scrub, particularly in Summer, prior to fake tan. It's great for getting my skin really smooth.

I definitely don't use this for my face as I find it too harsh and granular. I certainly wouldn't use it 3-4 times a week as recommended on the packaging! I have dry skin and I only exfoliate once a week.

I like the smell and the results on the rest of my body. The price is completely reasonable and I really like that it is available from the supermarket - very convenient purchasing!

I've used this for a long time and still think it's the best. Even though it's a bit harsh one my skin around my cheeks I like to use it once a week around my "T-Zone". It gives me a bit deeper clean and unclog my pores really well. Would recommend it to others

I do like to use a more expensive and tailored product but the budget doesn't always allow. St Ives was my first foray into exfoliation and it's still my number one inexpensive go-to choice. It is a bit coarse compared to the more expensive options.

Best used in the shower and just once (or maybe twice) a week.

This product is really intensive as an exfoliant as it contains powdered walnut husks. Great subtle apricot/almond smell. Consistency is of a thick cream with grit, which makes for a cleanser with bite. It has a moisturiser quality that makes your skin silky smooth, post removing any dead skin cells and impurities.

I found this product worked best as a body/leg exfoliant rather than on sensitive areas like the face. Although I will use this on my face maybe once a month to remove any built up stubborn grubs and reveal clean new fresh skin, (followed by a mask and a reset rest). I wouldn't recommend using this product on your face too often as it is really harsh and could really do some undesired damage.

This is a great natural product that I would definitely try again.

The product does it's job, I'm unsure if I will use again, still sitting in the shower unused. Don't think I will recommend to anyone, way better products out there! May just wrap it up and give it to my husband to use, for when he gets home from a hard day work.

This product is great value for money. It smells lovely and feels really natural. Although not my favourite scrub, it’s my go to when I need to reign in my spending. The scrub can be tough on your skin because it’s a little on the course side, so I would recommend applying gently so you’re not too harsh on your skin.

I do like this product as an exfoliant for my body, especially in preparation for applying fake tan. It easily sloughs off the dry skin, leaving smooth skin.

However, as others have commented I find this way too harsh for the sensitive skin on my face.

Overall, a reasonable priced, good exfoliant for the body.
