St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I really like this scrub alot! First of all it comes in a squeeze container and I like that because instead of dipping your fingers in to get product out you conveniently squeeze the product out in your hand! The product itself has a creamy, gritty consistency and has a nice, light fruity scent. It rinses off easily and leaves your face super smooth!

As well as smelling amazing and belong extremely affordable ($9-$14) this product really does work. My skin is naturally oily and i have very pimple prone skin. I started using this about 4 months ago and i have definitely noticed a difference! this exfoliation in this product is insane! it feels soo good on my skin and gets ride of any dry and dead skin off my face before bed! i also have rather bad blackeads and this product seemed to reduce my pores and clear my skin. i love it

I was introduced to St Ives when I was a teenager. My cousin left me a sample and I found that it was awesome for my acne ridden skin. Made my skin really smooth and soft. However I couldnt find it back home so I had to leave it at that.

When in NZ, I managed to grab myself a tube of it. It did do all that it had said. My skin was back to its pre acne stage. Nice, smooth with clean pores. The scent itself was okay and not in your face types. The only problem it seems to have is that the apricot shell bits are not smooth and are too rough for sensitive skin. Thus I have stopped using it for the time being. Depending on skin types this is a good budget friendly scrub.

The packaging is misleading, it insinuates that apricot kernel is the exfoliator, when really it is walnut shells. This product exfoliates very well, but it can be too well. It is not so good for delicate skin and I only used it if I had a very flaky patch which I needed to get rid of. After a month or two, I noticed a bad smell when using it, like mould or fermentation, and I had to throw it out.

i have moved in new Zealand since 2009 and this first scrub i have bought it. i found is just normal scrub nothing any special or miracle. be gentle when you scrub on face otherwise you will damageyour skin surface. its come in nice tube pack and handy too. i use this on body too. good body scrub

This is my absolute favourite facial exfoliator! I love the fact that this exfoliator is quite coarse but gentle exfoliation does not damage the skin. I know that the packaging instructions mention this should be used 2/3 times per week but this is my daily, staple face wash. I find that my face does not feel "clean" if I don't used it everyday. There is no strong scent to this product which is a plus factor because I don't want to use a strong smelling face scrub early in the morning. I apply this very gently on my cheek area because I found that at one point this was the cause of my dry skin. However, as mentioned above I use this daily even though it recommends 2/3x per week so that was my fault oops! Like I said though I have to use it because it removes harsh makeup as well as unclogging pores.

This is my go to face scrub for when I don't want to fork out too much on skincar and also feels like my face is in need of a good tough exfoliate.

Is an amazing product in my opinion. Its gentle enough to use daily and is just amazing. It smells great and is a fantastic exfoliating scrub. I have quite sensitive skin and was a little worried at first to use it because I was scared it would irritate my skin as it is an exfoliating scrub but I encountered no problems and was highly satisfied with the product.
