St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

It does work wonders as a physical exfoliator, and if all you're looking for is pure brute force you can stop your search here. The problem with this scrub is the jagged little beads of apricot kernel. Rather than treating your skin to a gentle removal of dry skin they tear it off and cause irritation.

I find that after using this my skin is noticably smoother, but also more sensitive and definitely in need of moisture and a little TLC. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin, or who wants to follow a more gentle cleansing regime.

This has to be my go to product, I discovered this a few years ago and have never stopped using it. The invigorating scrub may be a bit harsh for some people/skin so I do recommend testing it by buying the miniature version first. I get asked what I do to my face to keep it so clear, and honestly this is one of the few products I actually use on my face, I use it 3 times a week. However, this is not just for the face, it is amazing to use on legs before shaving especially, you will get smooth silky legs, I also use it on my body if I am about to use and type of fake tan, it will remove all the dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas. I also discovered that it is AMAZING for an under arm pit scrub !!! It removes that dark shading (from shaving) and makes it feel smooth and clean!

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.

This is a classic I am pretty sure it was the first ever facial scrub I tried and it is amazing. It has the perfect grit to cream ratio and leaves my skin feeling clean, fresh, make up and dead skin free.

I have never had problems with stinging or irritation using this and I sometimes have slightly sensitive skin

A full size tube will last me a good 4-5 months depending on how much I alternate with other cleansers and the smell is ok not too perfumed . I will forever be a apricot scrub user.

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.

My partner uses this every day to wash his face however, I find it a little too rough and prefer something that cleanses and cleans out the poors than something that doesn't feel like its washing your skin. It is especially important to avoid using this too often on your cheeks as the harshness of it can harm pores and the elasticity of your skin which can result in being more prone to wrinkles

Very refreshing and great smell lovely on the skim gives skooth soft skin all the time and also great for sensitive skin! Recommend great price too

I started using this midway through last year and fall more in love with it with every use. It is a very abrasive texture, so ideal for about 3 times a week. it has helped clear my acne up, and reduce the oily-ness of my skin! it's one of those products i will continue to use - even my mum used to use it growing up and uses it occasionaly now.

i LOVE this product. i use it twice a week, it takes away any dead skin cells without aggravating my sensitive skin,leaving it silky soft and glowing :-) i get absolutely no redness or irritation. Priced at $11 ish depending where you go its definately worth it! my partner also uses it to keep his skin fresh, he refuses to moisturise so this product is great that its so gentle as it dosnt strip any moisture and leave his skin like leather! win win as a couples product!
