St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

This scrub is great to use a few times a week when your skin is just feeling extra grubby and your normal cleanser just won't do. When used as directed, the micro-beads exfoliate the skin deeper than an ordinary cleanser would, getting rid of any grease/oil, hard to remove makeup or fresh sweat from the gym. My skin feels so clean and smooth and appears soft and shiny after using this product. Its my favourite face scrub, and the fruity apricot smell is a wonderful bonus!

I love this! The texture is just right. It's grainy and moist, not too rough and clumpy. The price is not to bad for something of this quality. The smell is fruity. After exfoliating, my face feels smooth and tender. My face is neither irritated, nor inflamed which is what i look for

This product is legitimately my most favourite all time exfoliating face scrub. I have been using this since I began high school. Even though I have tried other scrubs this has always been the best and therefore my favourite. I have noticed that apricot is one of my favourite additions in quite a lot of skin and hair care products so this is just adding to the list. I love that you can feel the scrub on your skin because it helps you to fell if you have spread it evenly. Always makes me feel clean and fresh. Pretty much on par with Spa facials.

I used this product alot when I was younger but always left me with a very red and slightly sore face. Feels like rubbing sand paper across the face. It does make your face feel soft but took a day each time I used it for my face to recover. I went to see a dermatologist and she said not to use a harsh scrub as it leaves scratches on your skin so I have started using other brands instead. It does have a nice smell and is a very thick consistency with really large particles in it.

This scrub is by far way too harsh for me, no matter what i did it seemed to sensitise my skin and left me feeling itchy and sore, which is strange as i have never had a reaction to other st ives products. so this is one i will not be trying again. i do think people who just wanted to exfoliate once in a while might have better luck with this

When I first got into looking after my skin this was one of the many products I used, simply because my mother was using it too!

I found it good at the time as I did suffer from quite a problematic skin so it provided me with that nice clean feeling and a great scrub to the skin. My face did go a bit red afterwards but when I was young I just thought that was normal.

This is a good wee product as it does provide you with a nice clean feeling at an affordable price...

Just... Please be careful when using it, as the exfoliating particles in it are quite big and can be harmful to the skin. For some people, like myself it can be just that little too much for the skin on the face.

However if you have just purchsed this products please dont stress. Just ensure you use a light pressure with it and maybe use it only 1-3 times a week (dependant on your skin type/ condition) and be sure to use a moisturiser or lotion afterwards just to restore the skin again. If it is a day lotion/ moisturiser you are applying make sure it has broadspectrum SPF in it as well. You can always use it as a body exfoliator too as the skin on your body is tougher than the skin on your face, so there are no worries there. It will help you get through it quiter too ;)

I have used this product on and off for many years now and i always seam to go back to it. I love how it makes my face feel amazing, soft and fresh. I suffer from random pimples that think its amazing to pop up at the worst moments but when useing this face scrub those annoying pimples don't happen as often (YAY) . I also have sensitive eyes and love how this face scrub doesn't irritate my eyes at all, you just have to be careful not to get too close to your eyes or the little scrub peices aren't too enjoyable

St Ives exfoliating scrub is my go to scrub!! On the days I decide to wear make up I use this after cleansing to really rid my skin of any leftover make up. I love how the beads feel against my skin. After washing off my skin is left feeling amazingly soft and smooth, very much reminds me of baby skin. I recommend this to everyone who is looking for a new exfoliant. It has the lovely pleasant smell of apricots which I adore! I only use this product a couple of times a week just to be sure I'm not causing damage to.my skin from the exfoliating beads!

I love this scrub! I've used it for years. After using this my face feels so Soft and smooth, what's also great about it is its so reasonably priced :)

I have been using St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub for a few years now. This always leaves my skin soft, also leaves a glow to my face and has been wonderful in reducing the appearance of the odd blemish that I get every now in then which is why I am a big fan of this. Some say you shouldn't use this or facial scrubs in general everyday but I do because I find that it works well for my skin. I also find that moisturiser and makeup sits better on my skin after using this.
