St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

This product is my go to for exfoliating my acne prone skin as its micro scrubbing particles are great for getting sebum out of pores and preventing irritation but are not too harsh for sensitive skin. This product also has a lovely natural fragrance that isn't too overpowering and could be easily used by any member of the family. A fantastic product from a trusted brand, do check it out!

This is a staple product for me. The scent is distinctive (in a good way!)as are the granules with their chunky, natural-looking appearance. For me, the granules are great because the size and texture means that you don't need to scrub too much to achieve a clean, exfoliated and refreshed face. It's great value for money as the price is cheap, the bottle large, and a little goes a long way

This facial scrub is great but the original was even better. im down to the last bit in my tube and have owned this product for years and years.

Unlike some other exfoliators I've tried, you don't need to get too rough with this either (and if you do you might just find yourself rubbing off a layer of skin!).My skin is left soft, supple and glowing.

My legs are better prepared for shaving (results are smoother), my moisturisers absorb better, my body is soft and I feel a lot cleaner overall too.

I hadn't used this product for a long time until I asked my husband to get me some face wash at the supermarket and he came home with this. Not quite what I was after but my skin felt amazing after using this scrub! It felt smooth and fresh and it cleared out the pores around my nose etc. It may have been a coincidence but my skin did break out a few days after using it but it could have also been because my skin hasn't had a good exfoliation in a while. It has come right now though so it is hard to say whether it was becuase of the scrub.

I have added this product back to my beauty regime!

I don't know about using this for the face but for the body, yes. As a B.T we were always taught to steer clear of facial scrubs with such large beads, too harsh for the face and cause mirco cuts which are a great for bacteria and basically cause more harm than good to your skin. I still tried it myself though - I think its great for the body, didn't like it too much on my face, too harsh for me and definatley believe its more suited for the body. Those granules are huge!

I absolutely love this scrub, makes my skin feel so smooth and soft after every time I use it.

Helps control my breakouts and inevitable blackheads from being a dairy farmer!

Also works well on other areas, I use it on my shoulders and chest.

Smells amazing too

I was gifted this scrub a few years ago. The packaging reminds me of spring, fun, bright and flirty! It has an overpowering apricot smell when you first apply it to your face but you do adapt to the smell after you use it a few times.

It leaves my face feeling smooth like a canvas and so refreshing. It cleans all my pores and gets rid of most of my visible blackheads. When I use this I only use a small amount on my problem areas and then lightly push the product around as its quite grainy on my skin.

A great product but I don't like the smell, sure I would use it again but not the apricot one.

So I better start off by saying I haven't actually used this for about 6 years since I had my son as it's not in my budget anymore. This stuff has the nicest smell not all chemically like some I have used. It left my skin feeling amazing. It was so so soft and my rosacea wasn't as bad after I used it either. I would definitely recommend this product

I've been using this scrub since I was a wee teenager, I really like it, the smell, the result the way it leaves your skin so smooth! However, recently I've become aware that the ground granules are extremely damaging to your skin, they are tiny but they leave scratches that you can't see. I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up on this product yet though!

This smells delicious and is very effective but I would definitely not recommend it as a face exfoliant for those with quite sensitive skin as it is a little bit harsh. I can only use it once or twice a week, otherwise I find it too rough, and I only use it in the shower as, like someone else had mentioned, it is very grainy and a little difficult to get it all off otherwise. I will use this on other areas of my body as well before waxing and shaving because it is so good!
