St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I started using St Ives after having used average facial scrubs for a couple of years and I was so impressed! I use St Ives 3 times weekly ( I have quite oily, blackhead prone skin) and the results for me are less breakouts, better control of blackheads and my skin is softer to touch. I especially notice the difference around my nose and chin area where I breakout often. St Ives leaves my skin looking and feeling fresh. It is a thick, grainy, delicious smelling apricot scrub that you only need a small amount (pea size) to get the job done- so it last ages. The apricot smell is present yet not too overpowering. I also love that St Ives is an affordable brand generally only paying $7-9 for a bottle.

I use this product every day and its one that I keep going back to. This product Is gentle and cleans deep to leave your skin looking and feeling soft and fresh. I love this product and would recommend It to anyone looking for a new facial product

Love this scrub, it's my go to. My face feels amazing after I've used it. Found it at 20 and 15 years later. Still love it! It is cheap enough that it doesn't warrant a huge outlay and is affordable and your skin feels amazing after use. I've noticed that I cant smell the apricot in it, however that may be because I use it in the shower. It leaves my face feeling so soft and clean afterwards and "soft as a babys bot" I always use it prior to a big night out so that my skin is fresh and clean.

Wonderful fresh scrub, leaves skin soft and supple rather than irritated. It has a gorgeous subtle scent and the most decadent creamy texture, its a dream to apply. Plus, it contains natural apricot seed exfoliators that don't harm the environment the way plastic microbeads do.

I have been using this scrub for about a year now. It leaves my skin so soft and smooth. I use it twice a week or when i can feel dry skin on my face. It leaves skin very soft however, it is very harsh and sometimes hurts my skin as exfoliating material is very coarse and chunky. This is the only negative i have with this product.

I use to use the apricot scrub every day. At first it was great and made my face really soft but it was too harsh for me (slightly sensitive skin) and I would end up quite red in the face. I also found it quite drying so always used a lot of moisturiser afterwards. Would give it another go but maybe just use it once a week on a no makeup day

This stuff smells amazing. And that's really the only completely good thing about it... You have to be real gentle while scrubbing, the exfoliators in it are really rough, and I honestly wouldn't recommend using it on your face... It seems to dry out my skin also, and doesn't help with blemishes or blackheads.

This is a beautiful smelling facial scrub! I love the refreshing feel it gives after use. However, if used too often it tends to cause irritation and dryness of my skin around the more sensitive areas of the face - e.g., around the mouth and eye area. The exfoliating sensation leaves your skin feeling so smooth and refreshed after having used the scrub. Overall, I find St Ives to be a really reliable and decent product, that is not too pricey! Would definitely recommend to anyone who wants that refreshed and smooth skin feel ♥♥♥

I absolutely LOVE this scrub. I've been using it since I was 14 (10 years now!) and it's always been a go-to beauty item for me.

I love a bit of a harsh scrub, so this is perfect. I normally find that scrubs aren't that "harsh" enough for me as the beads are so round.. so I never get that perfect clean feel and invigorated feel.. But St. Ives is perfect! It leaves my skin feeling smooth, soft and hydrated.

The packaging is fantastic - it's pretty much remained the same since I've been using it. I love that the cap is near the bottom - you are never scraping to get the last of the product!

The smell is pleasant, it's not overpowering and it's not non-existent. It's a light apricot smell which is super lovely and awakens your senses!

I would definitely recommend this to everyone who wants a scrub that will make their skin feel alive!

I have bought this scrub several times from New World, usually managing to get it for around $8.

It comes in a standard tube with a picture of an apricot that I find strangely organic and appealing. The St Ives brand is well known and I find their products very good in general.

The product is quite thick and I find it quite harsh, which has appealed to me in the past but not so much now that my skin is a little more sensitive. It would sometimes leave red patches. Having said that, I find it does a good job of cleansing. I've now moved on to a different St Ives scrub that I find more gentle and suitable for my skin type.

This is a good scrub for the right type of skin, but not so suitable for sensitive skins.
