St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I absolutely adore this, My face is prone to a little bit of acne and its really oily so this works really well for me. A face scrub i always have handy on my because its just one of my favourites love love love this!!!!!

Apricot scrub is one of those products that never really goes away.

Its a great price, especially on sale and leaves your skin feeling so soft and smooth.

I have dry and sensitive skin and this still does a great job and does not dry it out further like most products do.

I've been using this effective and lovely smelling scrub off and on over fifteen years. I come back to it because it does what it says it will. It's creamy, thick, and very granular/ grainy. These qualities are good because it means a small amount will exfoliate your whole face while moisturizing. It rinses clean and makes your skin feel as smooth as baby's bottom. Really! Your skin will feel petal soft in less than 2 minutes. This doesn't break out my combination skin. It's a great buy. I usually find it under $3, and a bottle lasts me at least 6 months.

I remember the article about this scrub and commented saying how I didn't like it.

Using it as a teen and in my early 20s I remember how badly my skin broke out using it so it was a product that wasn't on my radar until recently.

I stood in the skincare isle of our local supermarket looking at all the scrubs available and this one really stood out. It got me wondering, with my mature skin could it possibly work for me now??? So I made the purchase.

Boy am I glad I did! I started using this product once a week in the morning and within 2 weeks I noticed the difference in my skin. so that's only 2 washes. Now it wasn't less break outs that I noticed but it was how hydrated my skin was. My usual dry patches gone! My skin felt so incredible and soft.

The more I used it I noticed the less pimples I was getting and I was getting less blackheads also.

The formula itself is quite thick and well chunky. For a scrub it was no surprise to me. It was gentle and didn't feel overly harsh when washes my face with it.

I still only use it once a week which seems to be the perfect thing for my skin at the moment.

I know many people who have tried this so when my sister brought this home one day I was eager to try it. Being the type of person who didn't really ever have bad skin texture my skin suddenly became rough and flakey. This product polished my face and now it is extremely smooth and glowy. I will continue using this once a week since it is quite coarse compared to the rest of my exfoliants.

As someone who loves all things beauty and spends a lot of time looking after my skin, I almost feel bad about loving this product as I constantly hear bad feedback about it. I can see why people say this is a harsh and abrasive exfoliator, because, well, it is! But for me, when my skin is feeling dull or congested, one of the best feelings in the world is scrubbing away all that yuckiness with a good, hearty exfoliator. St Ives, leaves my skin not only feeing but looking fresh and bright. I use this once or twice a week and the generous sized tube lasts me over 6 months. This, combined with its cheap price tag makes this product such a bargain! It is also super handy that this product is available for purchase at Countdown and Pak n Save. Its been a staple in my beauty drawer for many years now and will continue to be for some time.

I absolutely LOVE this cleanser/exfoliater!!! Tbis2 actually does exactly what it claims to do withput2 being overly harsh and without stripping your skin. This is a mild exfoliate so if your looking for something heavier you would not like this but as a gentle/mild exfoliater it truly cleans and exfoilates. Will most definitely continue to repurchase and use this product and will continue to recommend this to family and friends
