St. Ives Exfoliating Apricot Body Wash Review

This body was is so refreshing. It's my no.1 body wash for summer as I feel so refreshed afterwards! It leaves you feeling like you have showered in an orchid.

Foams up really nicely and leaves you smelling yum :)

This is one of my favourite Body Washes. I've been using this product for years, as it's so handy to pick up when doing you're at the local supermarket.

First thing I love about this product is smell, nothing worse than a bad smelling product, especially when it's job is to wash you, this is a good 10/10 for the delicious smell of Apricots.

The second thing I love is how affordable this product is, for something so simple and gentle but still exfoliates it doesn't have a huge price tag which makes it a repeat purchase. It's not too harsh of an exfoliator like others I have tried, to the point where I use it everyday.

i remember this from my teenage years. i remember taking massive globby handfuls of it and slathering it on myself. was it wasteful? yes. was it glorious? also yes.

the smell is very fresh and fruity but at the same time its also a bit.. meh. nothing about it stands out to me in this day and age. back in my tween years this was muchly coveted and you knew you were in the bathroom of someone cool if they had this or herbal essences in the shower.

the exfoliation side is a bit meh as well, i found i got a better scrub on using my loofah but maybe that was just me. the scent sat on my skin for a little while but it was immediately gone the minute i opened my moisturizer.

my skin felt average after using. it was soft yep but i didn't feel moisturized or hydrated. i did feel like my skin had a slight glow to it because of the scrub though, which is nice, and i find that happens after every time i use a scrub so points for that.

for me there are far superior scrubs out there, but this was nice in my heyday and it's a swirl down memory lane when i see it in the supermarket.

This lovely product came in the Top Rated BBBE. I have always had faith in St Ives products and this body scrub did not let me down.

I started it after finishing another particularly good body product, and while this one didn’t top that, it did come close. It comes in an easy to use flip top bottle -no issue to use on the shower with wet hands. The product is pale apricot in colour, and thickish. It is gritty enough to clean my skin without causing discomfort or fear of it blocking the drain. I don’t know what the gritty bits actually are, although it may be crushed walnut which isn’t ideal. The scent for me is delightful, I love it. I also love that it clings to my skin after drying myself.

I like the way my skin feels and smells after using this scrub.

I’ve been looking online and haven’t found an easy place to purchase it, or how much it costs unfortunately, so I don’t know if I’d buy it again or not. I would if it weren't too expensive I guess, as it is a very good product..

I bought this as I am a big fan of St Ives body wash, particularly the citrus one which smells divine. I sniffed this one before buying it and it was very promising indeed - a fresh apricot scent that was not sickly sweet.

Rather than being gritty, this uses microbeads for exfoliation. It's gentle but effective, removing dead skin easily. It's gentle enough to use everyday, though I will often use this prior to fake tanning to ensure a smooth surface for tan application. It does not feel drying, even on my scaly winter skin.

I'll be buying this again - it's cheap and effective and smells great.

I'm pretty sure you've heard enough about how amazing it smells but..... IT SMELLS AMAZING!!!! Okay. There's tons of body wash in this bottle and lasts forever. So it's definitely worth your money if only for the smell and the shear quantity. But not only that, I find that this exfoliates super well and my skin feels really clean but not raw or anything afterwards. I also love how well it can stand upside down. That way I don't have to frantically shake the bottle and slap at the end of it in the shower. I like both the texture and colour, it's very fresh and one of my fav everyday products.

Love this body wash! St Ives is a brand I've grown to really love as the quality of their products is always spot on.

This stuff smells amazing and lathers nicely when on a sponge or loofah. For me it has just the right amount of 'scrub' - it's not too gritty that it feels damaging but it still feels effective.

Love this stuff, have and will repurchase! Would recommend to anyone looking for a quality exfoliating body wash that won't irritate or damage the skin and also smells amazing at the same time :)

I'll try my best to make sure this review isn't just about the smell but it must be discussed. This product smells amazing. I remember when I used to shop with my parents I would just go to this aisle and stand there smelling it. Haha. I definitely use way too much of it in the shower for this exact reason.

I also love exfoliating scrubs. They make me feel as though the body wash is actually doing something and with this product in particular my skin feels super soft, smelling great and it doesn't feel as though it's been roughed up too much!

I also like St Ives because they try and use natural products that aren't harsh on your skin. My skin feels as though it's had a really deep clean without being damaged (which is often a problem for me as I can get quite dry skin).

Ive gotten one of these from paknsav when it was on sale 1.99 and i was impressed Great feeling Good clean The scrub worked perfect Made my skin feel tingly aswell felt so clean and fresh

A delicious exfoliator, the fragrance of it makes it smell good enough to eat! It does a great job of exfoliating the body, and leaves a lovely moisturised feeling afterwards. Perfect for before shaving and tanning, the tiny beads double as an exfoliator and they also offer a burst of fragrance. Sometimes I even tip some under the tap for a bubble bath when the kids get in, and they clean themselves with the bubbles. It is also very reasonably priced which is an added bonus.
