St. Ives Exfoliating Apricot Body Wash Review

I appreciate this is exfoliating but it is a bit harsh and gritty first thing in the morning in the shower, and I feel like its too soapy as well. I am preferring other products to this at the moment.

I love the smell of this body wash, though I find that the granules irritate my (very sensitive!) skin . It's definitely not for everyday use, but if you're looking for an inexpensive, delicious smelling body wash, I'd give it a go and see if it works for you.

Would I use again? Yes but tend to forget to repurchase Did it do as it said? Yes to a extent Would I recommend? Yes if I remembered

The fragrance of this is delicious. I preferred to use it on a shower puff ball. It helped to later it and felt I got more area using it this way. I found I liked this over summer more than winter. My skin probably goes a bit drier over winter and I don't find this product to be moisturising. Hence why I forget to repurchase over winter.

It's all about the fragrance with this. Leaves a beautiful scent on your skin as well

I have sensitive skin, so its quite hard for me to use body scrubs as they are harsh on my skin, and i hate to say it but using this was no different, great smell, but to harsh on my skin due to fragrance, and the scrub. I wish i could have enjoyed it as much as other people but unfortunately not.

I seem to be going against the grain here on this product, but it definitely isn't a favourite of mine. It is an ok body wash - foams up well and cleans my body. But there is minimal exfoliation as I can't feel it at all. But maybe that is because I am used to really gritty body scrubs (including the St Ives facial scrubs) that really exfoliate and scrub off skin.

I don't really like the scent either - it kinda smells like Raro cordial to me. But again maybe this is because I prefer warmer scents like vanilla and jasmine.

I feel that this product peaked in 2009 and has since been trumped. I have fond memories of using this product at my parents house and scrubbing myself raw for not apparent reason. Having reused this recently I can say it is no longer compares to other scrubs on the market. The smell is overly sweet and the grit in the scrub is very coarse, too coarse in my opinion. It offers no moisturising component which is very noticeable as your skin is left dry afterwards that compared with other products on the market isn't up to standard. I honestly think this product needs to be left behind in 2009 with supre ra-ra skirts, thin brows and concealer covered lips. Lets all pretend it didn't happen and move on to a big girl body scrub ..

I haven’t used this stuff in years, I stopped using it because it used to dry my skin out something terrible,the smell is a little sweet for my liking but that’s probably the best thing about it
