Rub a dub scrub

One of the first exfoliating scrubs I ever used. It's been around a long time.. I do tend to go back to this.

It's a decent sized tube that lasts a long time. The other exfoliating face scrub I have is a tiny tube but more gentle on the skin.

I find it does smell like apricot maybe with a hint of almond. It has a creamy consistency with brown exfoliant mixed in. Can be hard sometimes to squeeze out of the tube but once your on a roll its not too bad.

It's a good exfoliant - almost too good. If using on the face be gentle you don't have to scrub too hard it leaves the skin feeling smooth and fresh.. you can easily tell you have taken some old skin off. But you have to be gentle it's abrasive beads are quite sharp and rough so if you over do it the skin can get quite red and sore.

I also use this on my body - arms, neck etc and it's almost perfect for that just the right abrasiveness to level out and smooth that skin.

Tips: Be gentle when using on your face

Invigorate Your Senses With St Ives!

I found this apricot scrub really lovely and smells beautiful. It leaves my skin super exfoliated, smooth and feeling fresh which are all added benefits to the fact that its size lasts a long time. Last I checked, this product was also affordable and easily found in most pharmacies!

Tips: Great gift idea for someone who loves apricots!

Long time favourite

This is one of my all time favourite deep cleaning exfoliant. The price is good, the product size is good and a little goes a long way. If you are not into that ‘scratchy, scrubby feel’ this is not for you. But I love that deep microdermabrasion style of deep exfoliation and St Ives delivers. The smell is pleasant, and it is super easy to use. My husband also loves this, and we have one under the bathroom sink and one in the shower.

Tips: Don’t press too hard, it is a course product and with too much pressure you can cause inflammation. I sometimes use it with a brush, or stoke lightly with circular upward motions to really polish off the dead skin. Also, rinse thoroughly, as the wee beads can really stick!

A beauty staple that stands the rest of time

I remember using this product as a teen. And decades later, I’m still using this product. It never fails to gently, yet effectively, remove the grit off my face and leaving it feel polished. They’ve got a lifetime customer in me.

Tips: Use it regularly but don’t overdo it.

An icon like its partner the body scrub

This product is such an icon, when I was younger this was a brand both my mother and I would buy and share. It worked wonders on both of our skin tones, helped me keep my young uneven and bumpy skin soft and kept my pores at bay. I find its not harsh when used in moderation and always smells great.

I prefer products which are more gentle these days as I suffer from Eczema and Psoriasis but have never found this product to make my skin flare up. My only concern with using this product would be using it too often as the exfoliation 'beads' are quite large and rough and on sensitive skin that would be quite irritating.

Tips: Stock up on this brand, its not often you find something relatively inexpensive that does the trick! I don't recommend using the scrub more then twice a week if you have sensitive skin as its a pretty intense exfoliation!

Use in moderation

I love this product and think it does an excellent job of clearing out my pores - my skin feels wonderfully smooth and clean afterwards. However I'm lucky enough to have skin that isn't sensitive. It's very harsh, so I'd be pretty selective about who I'd recommend it to.

Tips: Use only when needed, let your skin take a break from it, and only use if you have oily/combination skin. Drier skin types don't need something this harsh, try the gentler version instead.

Thanks for that! I was thinking that using it 4 times a week would be a bit to harsh on my skin!

St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

I love the St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub! It is my "go to" facial scrub which I have used for the past few years. After washing off the scrub, it leaves my skin and face feeling clean and refreshed which is nice! It also doesn't dry my skin up, and since my T-zone tends to get a bit oily after a long day (or when my face feels like it needs a bit of freshening), it helps to remove the groggy oily feeling off my face, which is the one thing I really like about this scrub! Another good thing about this scrub is that it smells nice.

On the other hand, the scrub can be a bit harsh (depending on how much you scrub you apply) and may hurt your skin after. Instead, I only use a little dab of the scrub so that I don't hurt my face with too much scrub. Also, I'm not too sure if they still do this, but this product used to have two types available - one for normal skin types and another more gentle one available for sensitive skin types. I have tried both the normal one and the sensitive skin one, and they are both great! I prefer the sensitive skin one more though as it is less harsh on the skin (it has gentle microbeads instead) but still leaves your face with the same fresh and clean feeling!

Tips: Don't apply too much on your face at once as it can be rough on your skin. Also, a little dab of the scrub on your lips works great as a lip exfoliator! Be careful not to use the scrub everyday though, as it will exfoliate your skin. Instead, use it once every few days or so a week.

St Ives apricot scrub

This is the first facial scrub/cleanser that I was ever introduced to when I was starting out my teenage years by my mother - it's been around forever! And there is a reason for that since its a great wash! Don't have to use much so its value for month, kind enough on skin to use everyday and leaves skin glowing, radiant and soft. Contains salicylic which is an active ingredient in fighting off acne and pimples

Tips: Don't scrub to hard into face unless you want to look like you tried to scrub your skin off.

Great scrub and affordable

I think this is one of the best face scrubs out there and it is so cheap as well. For me I couldn't use it all the time as it does have a lot of rough beady bits compared to other scrubs. Worked great and my face felt very clean afterwards.
