Skin so smooth!

I felt like this product was awesome while I was in the shower. Then when I got out it kind of made my face really dry. Otherwise I had the radiant glow and my face was nicely exfoliated. I find some of the beads a little too scratchy, especially if you have sensitive skin. Otherwise a really good product!

Tips: Make sure your face really is wet before applying, as if it isn't it feels like sandpaper!

Cheap and fresh

This facial scrub is fresh, smells good, feels good and provides good results. I have used this scrub many times to feel more refreshed with myself and it always has left my skin feeling smooth never feeling greasy and gross, long term results you should use it 2 - 3 times a week to see improvements. Make sure you get it all off your face and be gentle when scrubbing it off!

Sandpaper in a bottle

This is an amazing exfoliant dont get me wrong, but it should be used for body only!! The beads in this are FAR too rough for your face. Washing your face with a cleanser and flannel if you dont have a gentle exfoliant is far better for your face.

My go to scrub

Love this scrub, it's my go to. My face feels amazing after I've used it. Found it at 20 and 15 years later. Still love it! It is cheap enough that it doesn't warrant a huge outlay and is affordable and your skin feels amazing after use. I've noticed that I cant smell the apricot in it, however that may be because I use it in the shower. It leaves my face feeling so soft and clean afterwards and "soft as a babys bot" I always use it prior to a big night out so that my skin is fresh and clean.

Tips: I think Stephx covered it. Make sure you're face is really wet when you use this otherwise it feels like sandpaper. I use it as the last thing I do in the shower so my skin has had time to soften up

Baby soft face

I used to purchase this fairly often years ago couldn't remember why I stopped buying it, decided to give it another go after spotting a good special on it. I soon remembered why I stopped buying this, it's much too rough to use as an every day cleanser. I was thinking this would replace my every day cleanser but I also need something gentler to alternate between using the apricot scrub every 2-3 days. If I use this scrub 2-3 days in a row it leaves my face feeling a little raw as it is quite good at taking the skin off.

This scrub is a thick cream with little bits of shell through it that looks like sand, very coarse very effective. I rub this stuff over my face for around 30 seconds before washing off and it leaves my face feeling sooo soft & smooth to touch. The way this scrub makes my skin feel to the touch reminds me a lot of the L'oreal magic blur cream, velvety. This scrub has a light natural apricot scent, delivers a thorough clean, and brightens the complexion. A little of this product goes a long way, the 150ml tube lasts for ages which makes it value for money.

I've successfully rekindled a happy relationship with this product and will most likely be replacing.

Tips: Don't over-use this product it's not suitable for every day use. If you cleanse/exfoliate your face every day you will need a gentler product to use alternatively.

Amazing product!

I love this scrub it works so well and makes my skin so soft. I don't know why but this product seems to help clear my skin more than the blemish control one which is weird but i love it. Smells lovely too which is a bonus. It is very effective in making my skin feel very fresh and scrubs all of my rough skin off without over drying my face. Would recommend :)

Fresh and fruity

I have always used this product on/off in my life and it is a true classic. Used once or twice a week this stuff does a great job with exfoliating without causing breakouts or skin irritation. It also smells divine! I would recommend to pretty much anyone as most people I know who have used this product also, have had no issues.

Tips: Follow directions, finish up with a moisturiser.

Gritty clean

This is a product that sits in my shower and used by various skin types.

It easy to get with the groceries and the bonus with St Ives is the price – I don’t notice a bigger shopping bill when I purchase.

I feel it provides an awesome instant effect on my skin leaving it feeling refreshed and smooth.

I don’t use this daily as it could get quite harsh so focus on every second/third day or after having heavy makeup on to make sure it is all removed.

Its affordable and effective so if on a budget this is the way to go.

Tips: Use every third/fourth day if you have sensitive skin

Good scrub

This scrub is thick, smells wonderful and can really scrub a surface clean. However it is very coarse and i made the mistake of being over zealous with scrubbing and although my skin felt soft, it was red which is never a good sign. I tried it the week and i was mindful not to rub but i still found it too coarse. I stopped using it for my face and I ended up using this as a body scrub which worked wonderful keeping the rest of my body soft and smooth

Wow

This has been one of my favourite scrubs. I use it when I've had a break out since it helps clear away pimples quickly. I love the smell and the texture and it makes me feel like I am getting rid of the yucky stuff on my face. You only need to lightly scrub your face with it.

Tips: Use in the shower. Helps make it gentler on the skin.
