Holy Grail!

This scrub is absolutely Devine and does what it says it would do!

Lots of people say it's too rough however I liked the coarse texture of the exfoliants. It works well to slough off my dead skin cells and give me bright skin.

One thing which I don't like however is the packaging. After a few uses the product accumulates at the nozzle which then prevents it from closing tightly. I feel that this may make space for germs which I don't feel good about for my acne.

Tips: Add a little water as it thickens up when using it.

Best facial scrub ever!!!

I got introduced to St Ives by my mother. I always used to see her use this as a young girl so trying it when I was a teenager brought back memories.

Now as a frequent user and being in my early 20s I still stand by what St Ives is all about- true deep cleaning gentle exfoliation!

I use this before giving myself a home facial. The exfoliators are natural and not too harah, however good enough to slough off dead skin cells and revealing fresh clean skin.

I recently suffered flakey skin all over my T-zone and afraid to try something to scrub with, I gave this a go. And thank goodness that I did because it really helped eliminate the unwanted flakes.

Smooth skin in two minutes!

Tips: Scrub gently for about 1-2 minutes for best results. Don't scrub too hars otherwise rashes can appear.

The scrub

I actually really, really loved this product. It smells great, you dont need a lot so it lasts a decent amount of time and it was great on my skin. I have a mixture of oily and dry skin, and it never dried me out yet got deep into my pores to reduce blackheads. You feel like your getting a real decent clean without the scratching at your fave feeling, And if you wear minimal make up you don't need to cleanse every day. Only thing off putting is that it is bad for the environment, so after using this strictly for years I gave it up. Unfortunately I have not came across another cleanser this good and it is sorely missed, so if anyone comes across something just like this please let me know

Tips: A little product goes a long way

Not great for sensitive skin

The title says it all. This scrub is anything but excellent for someone who has sensitive skin. Invigorating is a good use of words for the product as it invigorates the skin and can dry the skin out. From someone with extremely sensitive skin I do not recommend this product.

Fruity treat

I have been using this since I was a teenager and have always loved it. It really acts well on skin and exfoliate with a shine and smoothness. It leave good smell. It's a shame that I have become so busy that doesn't take good care of my skin now as compared to the days back then.

Tips: Use a cleaner for better effect after using the scrub

Great for the body, not the face

This is a very strong scrub. It says for use on the face, but I wouldn't. It's great on my legs as I tend to get ingrown hairs (from epilating) and this helps with those. The downside is that it's quite expensive to use as a body scrub as the small tube goes down very quickly.

The scent of this scrub is great, very pleasing smell.

Tips: Use on your body, not your face

Used to love this but microbeads

I was a firm fan of this apricot scrub for gently exfoilating my skin whilst remaining enough hydration to keep it looking smooth and supple. But of recent months it has become very evident that St Ives is one of the world's leader contributor of plastic microbeads in their products so I know no longer support their brand which is a little bit of a shame as I did get amazing results from this scrub but wouldn't want to cause such pollution to our seas for the sake of good skin

Average

This is just a classic facial scrub, but it's so average and not worth the hype. I find that it doesn't always get all the dry skin off of my face despite my constant attempts.

Good price point but wish it worked better.

Bad bad apricot scrub

This product I find not good for anyone's skin. It's pretty harsh ( grainy ) exfoliant inside the actual bottle peels of your skin which will then open up the pores to let dirt in. It's better to use a not so coarse exfoliant and only a light grain exfoliant as it will be better for your skin. And do not exfoliant everyday - maybe once or twice a week.

Tips: Buy a lighter exfoliant as this one is too coarse to anyone's skin

St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

I have used St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub for years. It has been a staple in my beauty care routine. However now that I have tried other scrubs I just can't get excited about this. This scrub has microbeads which are bad for our sea. It's just way too rough on the delicate skin and also I do not have sensitive skin at all but this will break me out and cause dry painful rashes on my face if I use it too regularly. St Ives also test on animals which ethically I do not agree with.

I wish this worked for me because it is so easy to find and buy but unfortunately I'm just not a big fan..
