I would honestly not use this at all unless your skin can handle really harsh, rough scrubs. I can feel it doing damage to my skin and while it does feel smoother afterwards, it also feels dry and damaged. I can't believe that they would recommend a usage of 3 to 4 times a week as that seems too much even for less harsh scrubs.
I love the smell of apricots so that is a good thing but probably the only thing I like about this product.
St Ives exfoliating scrub is my go to scrub!! On the days I decide to wear make up I use this after cleansing to really rid my skin of any leftover make up. I love how the beads feel against my skin. After washing off my skin is left feeling amazingly soft and smooth, very much reminds me of baby skin. I recommend this to everyone who is looking for a new exfoliant. It has the lovely pleasant smell of apricots which I adore! I only use this product a couple of times a week just to be sure I'm not causing damage to.my skin from the exfoliating beads!
