AMAZING

I bought this a few weeks ago for the first time, and after using it, I think it has become one of my favourite body washes. I think there is a new version of the scrub in which the exfoliant in the gel is not the annoying beads, it a finely ground natural exfoliant which I find it not as rough on my skin. The scent of the body wash itself is very delicious and fresh, which makes me feel clean and fresh after a shower. Overall, I find that this is a gentle yet great cleansing body scrub, that I will definitely be repurchasing.

Tips: If you can, buy the new version of this scrub with the natural exfoliant, it is much better than the one with beads.

St. Ives loves me.

I really love this body wash, it has a thick gel like consistency with exfoliating jojoba beads in it.

It gives a really gentle scrub doesn't scratch my skin. It gives the right amount of scrub for my skin and leaves the skin feeling polished and smooth and nourished. I think this would work for most people as a daily scrub, however if you had very sensitive skin, I would use is maybe every few days.

I also really like the smell it is light and sweet like an apricot, and it leaves me smelling great. The scent does not stay on the skin for too long.

The packaging is simple, nothing to right home about but does the job, and is easy to find in the supermarket. You can usually find this body wash on sale which is great. It's usually around $5.00-$7.00 depending on sales at the time. I usually pick up a couple when its on special.

I usually use it with a sponge or loofah, do my product lasts me around a month or two depending on who else is using it.

I would tell my friends to use this and I also like that they don't test on animals. Yay St. Ives!!

Tips: Always use your body wash with a sponge or loofah, you need much less, it will bubble more and last you a lot longer.

Good Body Wash

Firstly, smells delicious!! Would purchase it just for the smell!! Secondly, it is a good body wash and perhaps if my skin wasn't so temperamental at the moment it would be a great body wash but as an exfoliant it is not hugely amazing. I still love it but not as a skin spot clearer.

Tips: Good to use with a loofah.

Yum!

I love the scent of this body wash, it's almost good enough to eat. I wouldn't say that I found this product to be incredibly 'exfoliating' though, the little beads just don't really seem to do anything for me. I'd still definitely use this product again though as it leaves me feeling clean and fresh which are the main things I look for in a body wash.

Tips: Best used with a loofah.

This is really rather nice

Yummy yummy apricots. They are surely one of summer's greatest accomplishments. St Ives have managed to capture their summery essence perfectly in this "scrub"

I have the word scrub in inverted commas because their really isn't anything scrubby about this wash. If you are buying this product with the intention of exfoliating then the only way you are going to achieve this is by using the product on a loofah or brush.

That aside, it really is quite lovely especially for a supermarket product. It's on my list of products I buy when they are on special (gotta love dem sales)

Minimal exfoliation

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.

Tips: Use will a loofah or exfoliating glove

Tutti frutti

St. Ives is a great brand that I know and trust. This Apricot Scrub is magnificent, and I love how it contains 100% natural jojoba beads making it as gentle on my skin as can be! The gentle exfoliating action leaves my legs and arms feeling smooth and smelling like sweet, juicy Apricots.

Tips: Use four times a week as it is gentle on skin

I love you St Ives!

I love St Ives, the products are so great for supermarket buys! This exfoliating body wash is no exception. I love a wash that also preps your skin for a fake tan and leaves it smooth. Apricot extracts are great for the skin, it has a really nice smell and is a decent sized bottle - win win!

Tips: Use a Nutrimetics Apricot oil moisturiser like Body Dew after for the full apricot experience.

Awesome exfoliant!

This body exfoliant smells amazing and does a great job at exfoliating the skin also. It didn't irritate my skin or hurt while using it (as some others have before). This is refreshing and amazing to use before shaving or before fake tan. It smells amazing too which is an awesome bonus. Will keep purchasing this as my go-to body exfoliant!

Tips: Use on a loofa for extra bubbles :)
