St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I have been using this product for a few years now and absolutely love it. Face feels smooth, soft, clean & refreshed after use. Takes care of blackheads & dead skin. I find as I grow older I need to use it more often, used to be once a week but now its twice a week.

I've been using this off and on for a long time. Leaves my skin feeling baby soft but I only use it twice a week - max otherwise my skin gets too dry if I exfoliate too often. Will always be a safe 'go-to' product for me. And the smell is devine!

this scrub has been around for so long ! ive used it for year and have to re purchase some as i love it. you have to be careful not to over use it though due t the fact that the beads are more rough than some other products, but it really leaves your skin super soft

I've found this scrub is best when my skin needs some serious exfoliation. It's definitely not for everyday use that's for sure. The scrub is quite coarse so a little goes a long way. It's great to use on your body as well, I like to use it over my neck, shoulders and arms, and occasionally on my legs if they're getting a tad on the scaly side!

Makes my face feel so clean and fresh, and definitely helps with complexion and make up removal. Plus the smell helps :) it's very grainy and doesn't taste too good so be careful around the mouth area. Works well all over body

I personally found that this was a little to harsh for my skin for frequent use. I would use it again as a 'once in a blue moon' type of product when my skin is in seem serious need of scrubbing. It does smell good, and your skin definitely feels clean after it. But for skin slightly on the more sensitive side, I wouldn't use it as an everyday kind of scrub.

I'm not a fan of this scrub. The exfoliants seem really scratchy on my skin and I didn't like the smell of it, It also didn't seem to be actually cleansing very well either. So wouldn't buy again. But I do like some of the other St Ives range of products.

This is my can't do without product. I use it daily as my skin is very dry. I get so many comments on how nice my skin is, and I can only put it down to drinking heaps of water and using this scrub.within days of not using it I am back to dry flakey rough skin.

First thing I notice is that this is advised to be used 3-4 times a week...this goes against everything I have been taught. Theres seriously no need for that amount of use as too be honest its a fairly gritty exfoliant its not like it is gentle. If you over stimulate the skin this can cause further breakouts and just generally mess with the PH balance in your skin. I'd be using this 2 times per week TOPS. Maybe 3 in the winter if your super super dry. In the summer I would always narrow it down to just once a week to give your skin a boost.

It's very very gritty, wouldnt be ideal for all skin types at all, after using it my skin did feel cleaner, fresher and smoother. But senstive skins this would be a no go for you guys...too much!

Im not a fan of apricot,i deteste it actually eating and the smell, so I probably wouldn't use this product again. I got it bought for me one christmas time. It is an ok overall everyday kind of supermarket product, but for those who are using it every day (if you must) less is definitley more.

Those who use it everday due to dryness your not really doing your skin any favours, you can concentrate on drinking more water, eating healthily and a great moisturiser. That combined with exfoliating twice a week should still enable you to see results!A big sign of over exfoliating is extreme dryness, redness, skin sensitivity.

But yes an OK exfoliant when used in moderation :)

I use this exfoliator about once a week on my face & twice a week on my elbows, knees & feet. This gives me great soft skin & gets rid of all the dead skin cells & helps regenerate new skin cells giving the feeling of soft skin around the problem areas. If I have a sensitive day then I don't use it on my face as sometimes I do find it can be quite harsh on my face.
