I use this exfoliater, or the oatmeal one, everyday, and have religiously for a few years now.
Every third day I'll leave it on for five minutes and use it as a mask, and my skin always feels soft and lovely, even when I'm working long hours, or I'm not hydrating like I should.
Please, never go out of business.
Tips: Use once or twice a week as a mask, massage on like normal and leave to sit for five minutes on your face before rinsing off. Amazing.
Did what it was meant to, but even using it every second to third day (as according to instructions) was way too hard on my skin
Tips: Use sparingly - but is worth it if have oily skin
This was my very first facial scrub I ever used and I recall thinking how wonderful it was! I bought this product when it was still the apricot/peach colored packaging as opposed to this plain white bottle we see today.
The scrub had a thick grainy consistency where you had to add a bit of pressure to squeeze the product out of the bottle. The actual scrub looked like a pasty porridge gone wrong but the smell was absolutely devine and quite frankly apricots don't smell THAT good!
I have sensitive skin and this probably wasn't the right facial scrub for me (which I didn't know at the time) because it was too harsh for my skin. It didn't hurt, but rather it was abrasive - bearable but still abrasive.
When I massaged the product onto my face you could feel the tiny grains moving against your skin. I felt that it did a good job at removing dead skin cells but for sensitive skin like mine I needed a more gentle scrub.
I would use this 3 times a week and anymore than that then I would risk having dry areas on my face which is quite unusual considering I have oily skin. I no longer use this product and instead I use an exfoliating cleanser that gets the job done without aggravating my skin.
Worst thing I did for my skin it made it all dry and sore and within days I was breaking out. It couldve been that I was scrubbing to hard but despite that it still destroyed my skin. Would not reccommend.
Tips: dont scrub hard?
This product is quite harsh on the skin feeling like sandpaper however it does remove the dead skin really well. If you have pimples or sores on the face may not be a good product as it can open up the sores and irritate your face and does dry your face out.
Tips: Use very small mounts and use with caution of you have pimples or sores on the face.
I've used this scrub for a long time now. It always leaves my skin feeling clean and fresh and its not too harsh. I have sensitive skin and allergies but never had a reaction to this product. It also has natural exfoliants which I really love. This is something I have on hand for my teenage daughter too and its nice on her skin as well. Its really great value for money. Highly recommend this one
This I found compared to my currant scrub quite harsh on the skin, it leaves it feeling clean and if I hadn't found my new line of facial care I would still be using it, but I definitely wouldn't use this on a everyday use, and don't scrub too hard!! OUCH!
I used this for over 2 weeks, it dried out my skin, and I really didnt benefit from it. I have dry/sensitive skin so this didnt really help. i used this atleast everyday and irritated my skin, so I had stopped and used only twice a day.
Tips: If you do use this, maybe use 2 times a week to avoid your skin from drying out and use a good moisturiser to help as well.
I really love the St Ives range of scrubs, they're affordable and effective. It's a good scrub for most skin types, the green tea one would be my pick for sensitive skin though as the exfoliating beads are miniscule in that one (but really effective - you're not missing out I promise!)
I found this product to be a little harsh on my face. It certainly left me feeling squeaky clean, but I felt it was too abrasive for regular use. That could just be because my skin was to sensitive for the product though! A week or so after I had retired it from my routine I had myself a spa night. I had noticed that my feet were getting nasty dry callouses, and all the moisturising in the world wasn't helping. So I tried the scrub on my feet. It was amazing! Afterwards my moisturiser soaked in better, and my feet felt all smooth and soft like freshly shaved legs!
Tips: Use this on your feet to soften and smooth out callouses and cracks!
