St. Ives Blemish Control Scrub Review

This face scrub is absolutely terrible I used it when I was younger the smell is to overpowering and it feels like it’s ripping your face off Everytime you use it,I have very oily skin and this brand has always dried it out something terrible no matter how little I use so I would never buy this product again

This scrub is terrible for skin, it causes micro tears within the skin as the beads that do the scrubbing are far too harsh for our skin! Please do research before using this. I used this when I was younger and it left my skin feeling so tight and tender. There are many other great scrubs with salicylic acid in it (which is the product in this that helps with acne) this is just far too rough for skin on the face!

I did not like this product. It did exfoliate my skin but it was also really harsh and left my skin red and raw after every use. I stopped using this product as it was too harsh for me even though i don't have sensitive skin. If I was to continue using this I would only use once a week at the most. I also found after using it, my skin was quite dry.

This scrub smells good enough to eat. I was really worried that it may irritate my very sensitive skin but it didn't at all. My face felt soft and refreshed afterwards. Unfortunately it didn't help with my breakouts. I think I had more spots after using this. I did like the crushed walnut shell powder that gently exfoliated my skin. It left my skin super smooth and clean. I would like to see a security seal on or under the lid.

An easy to use product that fitted in well with my regular beauty routine. I initially used it at night but found the particles of scrub were hard to remove with a cloth so switched to using in the shower in the morning where it was easier to wash off completely. It left my skin feeling soft and refreshed but had to limit use to twice a week only as it was a bit drying on nose and chin. Over all though a good value for money product that does what it say it will. Will continue to use.

i have sensitive oily acne prone skin ,and i found this was too harsh for my face ,my face got ithyness and irritation after using this ,i have to use it on my body ,dont know if its reducing the sopts ,

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.

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.
