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.

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

Face Exfoliant

I have used this scrub for well over five years. basically because it is easily found in a supermarket, relatively inexpensive, and does what it says it does. I use it nearly every night in the shower as i find it is not to abrasive for my skin. It does reduce blackheads and gets rid of excess oil. One downside is the beads in the product that are not so great for the environment.

Tips: A little goes a long way.

Good and Average

When i first starting using this facial scrub it worked really well as i had really oily skin but over the years my skin has started to become dryer, and using this product on a usual basic makes my skin even dryer. So if you have oily skin i would suggest this product 100% but if its dry i would still suggest it but i would use it sparingly.

Tips: Do not use this everyday. Use sparingly.

Good face scrub

This is one of the few face scrub's I've had. It smells really good. I like how it feels when I am applying it on to my face. You don't need to use a lot of product. After rinsing and drying my face it would feel tight and look really clean. My face has a lot of texture which is why I need a good face scrub. I didn't break out. It made my skin look soft and flawless and it felt soft also. My skin would smell nice as well. It's good to use about 3 times a week maybe depending on what skin you have. It made my skin look and feel smooth but I feel like it wasn't making much of a difference to the texture on my forehead which was what I was hoping for and bought it for. I only bought one so I thought maybe you will need to keep using it to see a more accurate result.

Good Scrub

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.

Tips: Only use once or twice a week for fresh skin

Better for sporadic use

This scrub is one that really feels like it gets rid of all your dry, dead skin. The particles are quite large and abrasive, so I couldn't this working for people with sensitive skin. However I do enjoy using this when my weekly chemical exfoliant is not enough. The scent is pleasant, it is not too drying, and the redness from scrubbing goes away relatively quickly. That said, I only use this because my mother purchases it. I would not purchase it myself.

Tips: Not suitable for regular use

Pros and cons

There is a pro and many cons. Yes it did make my face feel softer, as the beads literally scrubbed my layer of skin off. I used this a few years ago, everyday for a month. I now know better, and I use a gentle cleanser that doesn't feel like sandpaper.

Alas, beauty trends!

This product was pretty phenomenal worldwide, I remember seeing them at Japan and Hong Kong cosmetic stores in the international aisles – I remember thinking "What? Of all international beauty products, this takes the limelight?". I digress, but back in the day when exfoliating first became popular this was a staple for me, because my skin really felt heaps softer (as the walnut powder really works like sandpaper). Now I know better and use gentler chemical exfoliants like AHA and BHA. I might still use it on the back of my arms though, but face, no more!

It's Okay

I'm surprised by the hype around this product as I personally don't find it to be amazing, however it is a really nice product at an affordable price.

The product contains crushed up apricot shell to buff away dead skin on the face, which it does, but I find it too harsh to use particularly often as the sharper bits in the product can irritate my skin. It also hurts like hell to get into your eyes.

It does smell nice, and it's great for removing heavy foundation before using a lighter face wash. I tend to team this up with the Clearasil Daily Clear Superfruit scrub, using the St Ives one first to remove heavy duty makeup, and then the Clearasil as a lighter and gentler exfoliator so as to not upset my easily annoyed skin.

I don't /not/ like it, but it isn't my favourite. I probably won't be repurchasing as I only bought it because their Green Tea face scrub (my favourite) wasn't available at the time.

Tips: A little goes a long way, and don't use it too often because it really is heavy duty.
