St. Ives Blemish Control Scrub Review

I love the way my skin felt after using this scrub for the first time. I've been using this every second night since receiving this product to trial. My skin seems to like it. I often find I react to most scrubs. But this is gentle. I love the way my skin feels after using it. So smooth and fresh feeling. Ive also been having a few hormonal breakouts and its helped so much with this. So pleased to finally find something I can use on the regular. It also smells great and is an affordable option. Can't fault this product.

I love this product! I have been using it for a few years and it really helps with breakouts and preventing future ones. The pack size lasts ages and a small amount goes a long way. Its gentle enough to use daily or 3 times a week. The sandy / gritty bits leave your skin feeling smooth/ clean and refreshed and the smell is apricoty and smells so clean. I normally pick this up for between $8-$10 at Pak N Save.

I thought this was a good scrub but any acne fighting ability was pretty lost on me. In general St. Ives are well known for their apricot scrub and I love the fact that they use 100% natural exfoliants instead of those nasty beads that are so bad for our ecosystem. There isn't a strong smell on this one and in terms of effectiveness, I thought it did the job well and didn't leave my skin too dry. However I've been using this during a time where I have more breakouts than usual, and I didn't feel that this did an amazing job at keeping pesky pimples at bay. I would say however that after using this, my skin would feel super smooth and a good canvas for the rest of your skin care routine. Overall I would purchase this again should I need a physical scrub.

I used to love a real good harsh scrub when I was younger - felt like I was getting a really good clean and getting rid of all the impurities. But as I have grown older and my skin is less forgiving, I need to go a bit gentler on my face. This product is way less gritty and rough than the original Apricot Scrub, but still gives a good deep scrub when you need one. Just not every day! Still has that delicious apricot smell too. Also, really good for getting rid of any rough skin elsewhere on the body e.g. elbows etc.

This keeps re appearing I am sure it has been featured before I first saw it when I was about 12. Back then I used it and it was super harsh I think because the exfoliant granules were sharp but they have since changed the packaging and formulas. I have tried several of these and I like them because the exfoliant granules are natural making it good the for environment and my skin always feels so nice and smooth and clean following the use of this. would re buy.

Decided to give it a go as it was on special... very gentle smell, the granules are fine and seem to make a great exfoliant as my face feels pretty good after using it.

Being quite a fan of the original St.Ives apricot scrub, I was eager to give this new version a go and see how it compared.

First impressions, it's A LOT like the original, so much so that it seemed just the same; Very similar packaging, the same natural apricot scent, the same thick, beige colored densely textured cream..

I did notice one difference though bewteen this new version of the apricot scrub and the original, this one seems to be finer and gentler.

This scrub is very grainy, it's one of the grainiest facial scrubs that i've ever used (along with the orignal version), you would think that it'd be quite rough on the skin, but despite it's coarse texture it's surprisingly gentle on the skin.

It does a great job of cleaning the skin deeply, thoroughly washing away a full face of makeup, and leaves my face feeling extremely, exceptionally & incredibly soft and smooth.

The softness & smoothness that you get with this scrub, I would compare it to that of a micro-dermabrasion treatment -level amazing.

As this scrub provides that intense re-surfacing effect, i'd confifently say that it'd be very helpful in reducing break-outs and blemishes, so as it claims. Also, it's affordibly priced, readily available from the local supermaket, and will go for miles. It's a big win for me!

I enjoyed using this Scrub in the shower on my face when i got out and dried my face it made my face really smooth and it smelt really good too. I would use this product again and i would get my friends to use it too :)

I've been through at least 3-4 bottles of this stuff convinced that one day I'm going to magically love it because there is so much hype around this product!

I like the squuezy tube packaging, the scent is nice and most of all I love that the exfoliant material is all natural - I'm very against all the plastic microbeads in products these days!

Unfortunately, this product is just far too harsh for my skin and I found it actually seemed to break me out more and I don't really have super sensitive skin! I also would warn anyone from using it around the eye area as its far too scratchy and rough for the sensitive skin there.

Although it does not work for me, my boyfriend loves this stuff so give it a go but keep in mind that it is very rough.
