Zesty Burst Of Refreshness

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.

Citrus Punch

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.

Smells delicious!

Firstly the texture is gritty like you expect a scrub to be and a thick consistency so it stays in my hand while I fasten the lid & place back in it's place. As you massage it around your face (or other areas), enjoy the sweet fresh citric aroma.

Rinses off easily (something I struggle with other scrubs). As for the claims - I'm not sure what imperfections it will scrub off - that could just be dirt, makeup etc. My skin did feel fresh, clean, and brighter (IMO). Not sure about more even toned, I haven't ever noticed a problem with this, so I guess you can't fix perfection ;)

Gentler than the Apricot Scrub

I have always loved St Ives apricot scrub, but the uneven shape of the particles meant that it was damaging my skin. However the bits in this scrub are much more uniform so they don't rip little scratches into my skin! It smells lovely, leaves my skin soft and glowing, and works well to get rid of rough patches on upper arms and on thighs.

Tips: Use it in the shower so your face is wet enough

All time favourite Scrub

I Absolutely love this Scrub it actually works wonders! It makes my face feel amazingly soft and it's so good to get the extra make up off! It has an amazing scent, and the packing is so appealing that makes you want to purchase it! You can use this as a quick face wash or you could use it has a face mask to leave it on a little bit longer.. I couldn't even think about using another face wash after using this! I mean it's $8.00 and it's magic in a bottle why wouldn't you purchase this?

Tips: Recommend that you don't get this in your eyes and this is also good as a whole body Scrub for dry skin and bumps!

Favorite affordable scrub!

This is my favorite scrub! It is super affordable and washes away leaving you feeling refreshed and cleansed. The packaging is simple and cute and it only costs $8. The product itself smells sooooo good. Its a good deep cleansing scrub that exfoliates very well, especially on and around the nose and removes all the rough edges. Sometimes I apply mine as a mask and leave it on for 10ish minutes and then scrub it away. I also find that its a good way to remove foundation if you're feeling a little lazy. Highly recommend!!!

St Ives Even & Bright Scrub

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.

Tips: Do not get into eyes. For even more results, use one of those battery powered facial massage brushes with this scrub.

Smells Nice

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.

Hi Reeze, I find both textures totally different. The apricot seems to have an exfoliating effect. Whereas this one has a gentle feel, smoother almost like a cleanser. Thank you Fi xxx

st.Ives

So brought this about a month ago when it first got on shelf's. I love the design on the front of the bottle it really suits the product and its pink haha, the product itself I find very good. It gives your face a tingling sensation when your scrubbing it in I perferr to do my face 1st when showering and leaving this product on my face and wash off OK nce I get out. This product helped reduce blemishes and made my skin feel extra soft and the smell is awesome a light fruity smell that's not too over powering. I absolutely love this new St.Ives if you suffer for blemishes give this product a go its at an affordable price and can be brought from any supermarket!!
