A cheap alternative

I've actually been using this product for a few years now, religiously so, and it worked relatively well. The granules are a little large and it does make for clean and smooth feeling skin afterward - although I am unsure whether or not this actually means it is as effective as other products that use smaller granules. Regardless, I opted for St Ives because it was a lot more gentle on my skin in terms of its ingredients than most supermarket buys. Over time, I did notice it kept most blackheads away and it did actually seem to make my pores appear smaller. It has a refreshing scent and the product actually lasts quite a while before it runs out. However, I've moved on to better scrubs (one that utilizes more natural ingredients), but I would most definitely recommend St Ives Apricot Scrub as a great product in the lower price ranges!

Not for me

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.

Thanks for the suggestion but I just found for me it didn't do anything to improve my skin besides making it feel scrubbed. I found the Neutrogena naturals pore scrub worked better for me.

Bummer to hear it was too harsh for you :( I only use mine once a week. I wonder if the sensitive one will work better for you? :)

Great

I did really enjoy using this product when I had it but it wasn't a product that made me re-purchase straight away. I would use it again as it is one of my favourites so far but I will still look for an alternative first. It is a good face wash it does clean your face well but not like you could see really good results even after you've used it for a while

Ultra Exfoliant

The product does do what it says, however I found that it strips too much moisture from my skin, leaving it quite dry - and I don't normally have dry skin. It smells incredible though! It says to use it three to four times a week, which I did, but due to the dryness I would probably be best to use it less often so my skin has time to recover. There are better exfoliants out there, but for this price and the amount you get, this is pretty good.

A little gritty

I like this product due to the smell and texture. But I find that it doesn't help my facial situation due to the fact that I have pimples and and all it does is infraite them. But the few times I have nice clear skin I use it and it helps bit.

St Ives Apricot Scrub

I used to use this alot before I really tried out more skin care prodcuts, but don't reach for it much anymore. It is quite a harsh scrub and you can feel it scraping. It does leave the skin feeling really soft, but I would say it is more a once a week scrub if you have dry flaky skin that you need to get rid or, rather than an everyday or 3/4 times a week scrub.

Tips: I would recommend using water to 'splash' (rinse) this off your face -as I found using a face cloth just rubbed the grains around my face and didn't remove it all.

St Ives

#233 review..should you need another review lol I like this scrub, it instantly makes me skin feel smooth and all those pores clean, I don't use it too often as I find it causes my skin to break out more regularly, but its good at the end of the week to refresh before the weekend :)

Tips: there is another St Ives scrub available that is more sensitive

Favourite Since I Was Younger!

I've been using this scrub since I was a wee teenager, I really like it, the smell, the result the way it leaves your skin so smooth! However, recently I've become aware that the ground granules are extremely damaging to your skin, they are tiny but they leave scratches that you can't see. I'm not sure if I'm ready to give up on this product yet though!

Tips: I would suggest using this with a very light hand to avoid skin scratching and followed by a moisturizer to prevent your skin from drying out.

Quality product

St Ives has quality products this in particular is used not jst by myself but my daughters as well. We tend to jump between certain products depending on time of year. It has a nice texture and easy to used the exfoliating beads work really well and there a lots of them. The after feeling is awesome

Great body scrub

This is one of my all all time fave body scrubs. I say body scrub because it is just too harsh for my sensitive skin on my face, my face stings afterwards and always comes out red angry and blotchy....so I started using it on my body instead and it is AMAZING! it smells delicious and makes my skin feel fresh, perfect for prepping my skin for tanning
