St. Ives Even and Bright Pink Lemon and Mandarin Orange Scrub Review

One of the most affordable and effective exfoliators I have used. I know a lot of people have used the St.Ives apricot exfoliating scrub and find it very harsh because of the bigger bits of the apricot kernel In it. This one isn't as harsh it has lots of finer pink and white exfoliator beads in it kinda like gentle sand. I do have very dry skin and I like a decent scrub to remove dry flakey bits from my face. To me this is mid range on the harsh factor also I don't have sensitive skin so can't comment on that. The tube it comes in is mcmassive! 150ml. The tube sits on the lid and there is no way it falls over easily because the lid is big and sturdy. It's easy to squeeze out and get the right amount out.

They aren't lying when they say it has pink lemon and mandarin orange in it. It would have more of a citrus hit than a Californian orange farm. Its an instant pick me up. I scrub this round my face in small circular motions (avoiding my peepers of course) and rinse it off with warm water and voilà.. Dry flakey skin is gone and instantly brighter skin I was a bit sceptical at first about it being brightening..I thought pfffft $11.99 for this big tube of exfoliator (from the supermarket) it can't brighten my skin and exfoliate. But it can and does. It lasted me for months I actually brought a rather expensive exfoliator after it ran out (it was $58 for 50ml) and it doesn't do half the job that this one does. This has to be one of my favourite skincare products it's so cheap and effective

St Ives is a family favourite brand. My mum favoured all their body lotions. When I first saw this in the supermarket I was curious to try it. I'm always keen to try new products from this brand. I did eventually buy it after much thought about it.

This scrub comes in a white tube. On the outside of this tube is this the St Ives branding. The tube comes in a 170gram so theres plenty of product to use in it. The texture of this scrub is light and creamy. This scrub is white coloured. There are no scrubbing beads in it like the apricot one. The scent of this scrub is like fresh lemons and mandarins. I enjoyed this scent.

When I apply this I always wash my face first. I put a little bit on my chin for five minutes to test it and it was fine. After that I smother my face with this scrub normally after a long day of wearing make up. After cleaning it off my skin felt clean and fresh. I didn't experience any dryness with this. I got mine for about 6.99 on sale so I was lucky at the time. I think it's still priced at the right price for it. My bottle has lasted me five weeks and still counting. I enjoyed using this and I would use it again.

This comes in a nice bright squeezable tube, making it nice and easy to get some of this white creamy exfoliator out to rub in between the palms of my hands to make it nice in foamy to rub onto my wet skin.

Wow the punch of citrus is nice and fresh and it feels skin awakening as I work this into my sleepy skin in the morning waking me and my skin up with a nice burst of fresh scent. The exfoliating beads are nice and fine, not heavy and coarse, rinses of nice and easy leaving no wee scrubby beads on my face.

This is soft enough to use every day keeping my skin lightly exfoliated soft and feeling fresh.

I'm sure my skin is left looking a lot smoother and brighter, ready for a fresh start to the day. It's value for money and it lasts.

I am already a huge fan of St Ives products so when this scrub came out I had to try it. This scrub smells so good, it smells sweet, fresh and fruity. It has tiny beads that exfoliate your skin and improve any dark spots. I found this scrub did wonders for my skin, reducing my breakouts and left my skin feeling squeaky clean. I purchased my scrub from Countdown 2 months ago and I still have quite a bit left. You only need to use a coin size amount and for the price ($12 or so) this scrub is a bargain.

I was looking for a new scrub and saw this at the supermarket for only $8.00. The packaging is a large 150 ml tube, very colourful. I liked the fact that it is advertised as sulphate free, paraben free, oil free, hypoallergenic with natural fruit extracts in the ingredients. This scrub has a lovely fruity, citrus perfume and is a creamy white formula. On the exfoliation factor scale of gentle, moderate or deep, this is moderate. Which is fine by me, because my skin can be sensitive at times. I keep it in the shower and use it three or four times a week. My skin feels smoother, brighter and better textured and this scrub is gentle on skin. I use it with wet skin first and also bring it down onto my neck and upper chest area. The plastic tube is ideal for travel as well. I would recommend this scrub as a cost-effective alternative to the higher end brands of scrub.

I love this scrub!! It's it's amazing in it works wonders leaving my skin soo soft and radient. It dosent only work it smells great too!! The packaging is also very appealing as that is how I came along to using it in the first place haha. I also usw it on the top half of my arms as they have the's little bumps on them and it exfoliates them away leaving them soft which is awesome!!

I wanted to try this when I saw it advertised on TV being a fan of the St. Ives Apricot scrub and citrusy skin-care stuff.

I really like the packaging of this cleansing scrub, it's practical - easy to squeeze out the tube, and handily sits on it's largish flat cap. Also the packaging is really quite pretty and appealing looking with bright punchy colors against a crisp white background.

The scent is pretty much what you'd expect of a combination of pink lemon & mandarin orange. tangy and just a little bit sweet.

The consistency is like a lotion and has tiny pink exfoliation beads through it. If you've ever used a microdermabrasion cream, that's what the texture is like. Nothing like the coarse apricot scrub which I assume many will be familiar with, this is much gentler light- medium level exfoliator.

I feel that this product does a good job cleansing, providing light exfoliaton, brightening, polishing skin, and leaves it feeling soft and smooth. It's also very pleasant to use if you have a thing for citrus as I do. However I find this scrub not quite gentle enough to use on my face everyday, as i've found that it can be a bit drying in the case. So I use it on my face every 2-3 days,and it's good to use on your body too.

I'm quite satisfied with this cleansing scrub, and think that it's quite good value, as I paid $8 on special for 150ml tube. Recommend and will probably repurchase.

As winter is starting to take its toll on my skin, I had to find a good exfoliator that not only took care of my flaky skin (yuck!) but could also take care of my blemish spots and dark spots from pimples (double yuck) luckily I found this!

This exfoliating scrub did exactly that, it gently exfoliated my skin, clearing pores, removing dirt and flaky skin and I found that my dark spots were clearing faster than usual! An extra added bonus of this scrub was that it woke me up in the morning - the scent was beautifully fresh and citrusy!

This is my favourite of the St Ives Scrubs range! It smells yummy. has a great texture and leaves my skin feeling fresh & clean but not dry. I've been using it now for about 5 weeks & I have to say my skin is a little more even toned, although I would say it's polishing away imperfections. I do love it though & it's a part of my daily routine. although it's an exfoliator, it's very fine so not too harsh. I've even got malloMr onto it!

currently using this product love how the exfoliant granules are not too harsh but still gives a nice clean feel my skin did seem a bit brighter after using this I purchased on special and would re buy my skin was not over dry after this either the packaging is appealing and it smells okay too really like that this is not full of nasty chemicals.
