St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

Every so often I use a scrub as an exfoliator in addition to my normal skincare routine. St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub is one of my favourites, mainly because of the apricot fragrance. Using the scrub makes my skin feel extra soft and smooth afterwards as it helps remove the old skin that naturally builds up and is not removed by other cleansing products.

I love the St Ives range as it smells amazing and is really affordable.

This scrub is none the less, coming in the classic st Ives bottle containing heaps of product, I find it lasts too long and I get bored with it!

The scrub content is quite chunky making it quite a harsh scrub especially for your face however, that does mean it does the job well by removing the dead layer of skin and leaving your skin feeling super smooth.

I would not recommend this if you prefer a gentler scrub.

I have been using this on and off for years when I cant afford a better product. Its cheap, easily accessible and does exactly what it says it will do. However, you need to go easy with it and use a light hand. Do not rub hard, just gentle circular motions. It is quite a harsh scrub (the granules are quite big and many) so wouldn't advise using this too frequently!

It smells nice and you get a lot of product for the price. There are much better and gentler products on the market.

I used to use this scrub everyday, as it didn't irritate my skin and made it so soft and smooth. I loved the creamy texture and how effective it felt at getting my face clean and fresh. It's also a great price.

I've stopped using it now however, as it can cause micro-tears in the skin and I don't want to damage my skin. I've moved on to the Trilogy exfoliant, which is very effective but not quite as harsh as this one, and is natural. I will however, buy it again to use as a body scrub because it would be fantastic as a weekly exfoliator.

I use to use the apricot scrub every day. At first it was great and made my face really soft but it was too harsh for me (slightly sensitive skin) and I would end up quite red in the face. I also found it quite drying so always used a lot of moisturiser afterwards. Would give it another go but maybe just use it once a week on a no makeup day

I came across this at the start of winter when my skin started drying out. I thought the price was reasonable and considering the condition my skin was in I was desperate! I used it as soon as I got home the smell was fantastic so beautiful and it was a really creamy scrub and I liked the feeling of it on my skin! I used cool water when I used it because I love the fresh feeling it gives me over warm water and it wakes me up as well. It got rid of the dry skin on my face and my skin was really smooth after using it, I didn't break out which made me really happy. Overall I'd use this again and it did what it said it would and I really like everything about it!

I use mine regularly for a deep clean but find I need good moisturiser to follow as my skin tends to be drier for a day or so. As my skin ages Im less sure this is the product for me but has helped make blackheads etc less noticable

It is definitely a scrub! Its scrubs! Its good for a scrub once in a while, but I found the scrub part very rough and the grains were big, so would use it often.

I used to love this product it makes your skin feel less clogged after use and is great for exfoliation. I did find that my skin would be quite dry after use. Smells amazing!!
