St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

This is a good scrub but it is just too harsh for my skin, I find it dries it out which is not good as I already have really dry skin, would be great for oily and normal skin, have switched to Skinfood scrub which suits much better.

The packaging is misleading, it insinuates that apricot kernel is the exfoliator, when really it is walnut shells. This product exfoliates very well, but it can be too well. It is not so good for delicate skin and I only used it if I had a very flaky patch which I needed to get rid of. After a month or two, I noticed a bad smell when using it, like mould or fermentation, and I had to throw it out.

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

This is my go to face scrub for when I don't want to fork out too much on skincar and also feels like my face is in need of a good tough exfoliate.

so I have pretty oily skin that's not sensitive at all, so keep that in mind when I say I really do like this scrub. The exfoliating beads in this scrub are quite rough and abrasive, but as I said before, because my skin is not sensitive, I have absolutely no problem with that, and in fact, prefer it.

I use this religiously, every other day so I don't overdo it. The price point on this product is just fantastic, so cheap and so easily accessible.

Overall, I would recommend and repurchase!

This is my absolute favourite facial exfoliator! I love the fact that this exfoliator is quite coarse but gentle exfoliation does not damage the skin. I know that the packaging instructions mention this should be used 2/3 times per week but this is my daily, staple face wash. I find that my face does not feel "clean" if I don't used it everyday. There is no strong scent to this product which is a plus factor because I don't want to use a strong smelling face scrub early in the morning. I apply this very gently on my cheek area because I found that at one point this was the cause of my dry skin. However, as mentioned above I use this daily even though it recommends 2/3x per week so that was my fault oops! Like I said though I have to use it because it removes harsh makeup as well as unclogging pores.

Is an amazing product in my opinion. Its gentle enough to use daily and is just amazing. It smells great and is a fantastic exfoliating scrub. I have quite sensitive skin and was a little worried at first to use it because I was scared it would irritate my skin as it is an exfoliating scrub but I encountered no problems and was highly satisfied with the product.

This product cleans the face but after using it the next day my face broke out. It was strange because my face never breaks out.

I've always used this scrub as my standard in my routine. It exfoliates my skin well without it being too harsh on my sensitive skin. I'd definitely repurchase and recommend to my friends
