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!

LOVE THIS ITS BEEN GREAT FOR MY SKIN AS I WORK AT A GARDEN PLACE ,IT GETS RID OF ALL THE DIRT OF MY FACE AND I LOVE HOW AFFORDABLE IT IS AND GET AT ANY SUPERMARKET WHICH IS HANDY MY DAUGHTER USES AS WELL AND SHES GOT OILY SKIN.
I loved using this scrub! Sometimes scrubs can be too rough or not rough enough, but this one seemed to have the perfect amount of exfoliation for my skin. It didn't upset my skin like some other scrubs do.
I'm not a huge fan of the smell, but it's not overpowering enough to put me off using it!
It's one of those scrubs you've got to make sure you've rinsed off completely too, even if you think you've got it all, rinse again! I found that I kept finding the little bits on my face afterwards, or maybe that's just me!?
Tips: 1. You don't need a lot of this to get the job done 2. Make sure you only use this scrub a few times a week, if not less. Or you will make your skin angry!
I use this once in awhile, rather than religiously 3-4 times a week. I have sensitive skin, but like the amount of grit that st ives has (when i use only once in awhile) and always leaves me feeling like i have had a good clean of my skin. I think it would be too harsh for my skin type to be using daily however.
Tips: i like to use on my shoulders in the summertime, but only a small amount is needed.
I was addicted to this product, it gave me that clean tight feeling after use. That's until I went to have a facial and they remarked about my red aggravated skin ... asking if I was using an exfoliater. When I said what I was using they said throw it in the bin it's way too harsh. Never used it again!
Tips: Don't use on your face if you have sensitive skin.
I have used this apricot scrub for a while as when I was in England I used to always use another St Ives Apricot Scrub to me they are the same, same great smell I remember and what it does to your skin. its so smooth and I have not had any adult acne breakout since I started to use this twice a week
Tips: Use anywhere I ran out of body scrub and used this on my legs, mmm apricot scented smooth legs =D
This scrub is very rough, the particles in the scrub are large too. I bought this product and only used it once as it left my skin feeling raw and dry. I will be sticking to the St Ives Microdermabrasion which has much finer granules.
Tips: Try the St Ives Microdermabrasion scrub if you have sensitive skin.
I have used this product and find that it is to harse on my face. As i wash my face it feels like I am scrubbing it with gravel... Have found better products out there however it did leave my skin feeling good apart from being abit sore straight after.
Tips: Don't use if you have sensitive skin
The product does it's job, I'm unsure if I will use again, still sitting in the shower unused. Don't think I will recommend to anyone, way better products out there! May just wrap it up and give it to my husband to use, for when he gets home from a hard day work.
I used to use St Ives scrubs lots when I was younger. Found it really good for the price. It is quite coarse so I would stay away if you have sensitive skin but it really suits my skin type and leaves my skin feeling very smooth and soft. I like the simple packaging design and that the lid is on the bottom of the tube which makes it really easy to get all of the product out especially when it has almost been all used up. I found this product easy to apply and that just a small amount was needed so great value for money.
Tips: Also good for body.
