St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I quite like this body scrub and have purchased it a few times over the years. It has a delicious apricot smell and makes the skin on your face feel fresh after each use. It's easy to apply and you don't need to use a whole lot. It lasts quite awhile with daily use. It exfoliated my skin well and made my skin feel fresher. In my opinion, it's a great scrub to use a couple of times a week and it's affordable. This scrub definitely ticks the boxes for me.

I currently use this face wash once a week and have been using it for the last few months. The beads are quite big and rough which definitely helps with exfoliating but if you use a heavy hand too much it may scratch your skin so be mindful of that. Personally i wouldn't re purchase just because i like my exfoliaters to be a bit less harsh and for the beads to be micro sized, but i just had to try this out as it is insanely cheap and I've heard good reviews from other people. Really i think its all about personal preference with this! Its worth a try!

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

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.

Nice clean and simple packaging, easy to read and I love that this isn't tested on animals.

The product squeezes out easily and you can see the bits of ground up apricot kernel? (I read the ingredients list but I am still unsure, it might be walnut?). It's good at exfoliating and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth afterwards but I also find it drying if used too frequently (it says on the tube use 3-4 times a week, this is too much for me; twice a week is ample for my skin). Make sure you use a light touch to exfoliate so you don't damage you skin too much and follow with a good moisturiser.

I used to buy this all the time when I was younger as it was affordable and effective. The scratchy-ness off it makes me concerned for the damage it could be doing to my facial skin so I no longer use it for that purpose. I bought it again recently on a supermarket spend but have used it more as a body scrub. It lasts a long time too so it makes it great value for money.

It made my skin so soft and smooth like a baby's bottom I would use this again and again cause its amazing.

A good value product which is easily accessible from the supermarket. Lasts a long time due to only using it once or twice a week and mostly does what it says it should - exfoliates and deep cleans. Although it doesn't manage to get to get as deep into my nose pores as I would like. I have sensitive which is dry throughout the winter and I haven't had any issues using it.

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

Enjoyed this product because of how my skin was at the time and it did what it said. Would recommend to a friend if there skin was as bad as mine was.
