I found this product to be a little harsh on my face. It certainly left me feeling squeaky clean, but I felt it was too abrasive for regular use. That could just be because my skin was to sensitive for the product though! A week or so after I had retired it from my routine I had myself a spa night. I had noticed that my feet were getting nasty dry callouses, and all the moisturising in the world wasn't helping. So I tried the scrub on my feet. It was amazing! Afterwards my moisturiser soaked in better, and my feet felt all smooth and soft like freshly shaved legs!

Tips: Use this on your feet to soften and smooth out callouses and cracks!
For $10.95, you are better off spending your money elsewhere - preferably on a product that is gentler to your skin.
I used to own this scrub. I would use this scrub every day to exfoliate...but it is way too harsh on skin, especially on the face. Even when I used it weekly, this exfoliator would dry up my skin immediately.
The texture was like any other exfoliator. The scent not unpleasant - fruity, but can be a bit strong.
You'd really need to have very tough or callused skin in order for this product to be properly effective. I have sensitive skin, so that was a dealbreaker.
I Find this facial scrub really nice!!! it is gentle enough on my skin to use every day to help un block my pores from a days worth of make up. the scent is not overwhelming just quite suttle, the packaging is pretty standard white tubular shape, can sometimes be quite tight to pop the top open, overall for a cheaper supermarket branded scrub I find it does a great job
Tips: with the tips of your finger rub gently in circular motions :)
i am in love!!!! i like that it gets in really deep and gives your face a good scrub. It leaves your skin feeling very refreshed and new. you dont need to use alot of the product either so it does last a while.
Tips: after use, use a good moisturizer.
There's no doubt that this is a lovely product. It does what it says and it smells divine. It leaves your skin feeling fresh and smooth. I actually also use it in the shower as an all over body scrub. I think it is great value for money and a good quality product
I absolutely LOVE this scrub!!! I have been using this product for 4+years and recommend it to everyone.
I've used st Ives apricot scrub for a long time, and I love this product. I use it 2-3x a week and it makes my skin baby smooth and removes the dead skin. It lathers well when you apply water and rinses off easily. It's very affordable and easily accessible too -being at most supermarkets and pharmacies. I find it's especially good to use before applying makeup as it leaves your skin as a flawless base for foundations.
With the St Ives range you really need to find what's right for your skin type. Also don't necessarily judge on the "type" e.g. Anti-ageing. I found that the anti-ageing one was good for exfoliating but still very gentle on my skin. The Blemish and Blackhead control one had far more harsh particles in it that just totally hurt my sensitive skin. Definitely try out different ones until you find the consistency that's perfect for you, don't give up on the whole range if you run into one that isn't quite right.
Tips: Test the consistency before you buy if possible. Different ones have harsher or more gentle exfoliating particles so you really need to find the one that is best for your skin.
i love st Ives scrubs! I find them so exfoliating yet not so harsh your face feels like you've just brushed sand paper all over it. i find it helps to remove any excess makeup off my face even after a foaming wash, which i love! I have very dehydrated skin and so have been told i should be exfoliating daily. This is where it is best..it is so cheap and affordable, i probably tend to use way too much than i need as i love it so much. It lasts a long time too!
I love this scrub it works so well and makes my skin so soft. I don't know why but this product seems to help clear my skin more than the blemish control one which is weird but i love it. Smells lovely too which is a bonus. It is very effective in making my skin feel very fresh and scrubs all of my rough skin off without over drying my face. Would recommend :)
