Love it

I absolutely love this scrub, makes my skin feel so smooth and soft after every time I use it.

Helps control my breakouts and inevitable blackheads from being a dairy farmer!

Also works well on other areas, I use it on my shoulders and chest.

Smells amazing too

Tips: It’s quite gritty and harsh so maybe if you have sensitive skin, be cautious when using it.

Don’t use it everyday, when I tried this I got an irritation rash on my face.

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.

Great scrub

I am loving the deep clean that this product is giving me. I like how it gets rid of all the dead skin and leaves my skin feeling really soft. using this product has made it easier for me to apply my foundation as I am starting on a better canvas. I will defiantly keep using this product.

Love this product!

I have used this exfoliator for years and after trying new products I always come back to it. I find I only need to use it a few times a week and in the winter when my skin gets particularly dry I don't use it as often. It feels so refreshing!

Tips: It is quite intense so if you have dry or sensitive skin don't use it too often!

Scrub scrub scrub

This is a good product . it has 2% salcylic acid which is the same amount of acne fighting ingredients as things such as proactive without all the bleach that goes with it . However it is quite harsh on skin as the beads are quite big and there's a lot of them . If you don't like this part of the face scrub you can always mix it with a cleanser (I use dove normal skin cleanser which is light blue) Because of this cleansers texture it makes the beads a lot less harsh on skin . You can also opt for the st. Ives green tea scrub which has more of a sand texture then beads so it's not so hard (this only has 1% salcylic acid) I have used both apricot and green tea .

Tips: Use once a day maximum ,or stick to the recommended use of 4x a week . At other times use a cleanser . It can be a little drying so invest in a good oil free moisturiser and avoid using a foaming cleanser as most of these are also drying . Wouldn't recomend this for sensitive skin

almost a bit too rough

When I first used this I had an exfoliating glove on aswell as using this. I dont recomended doing that as you can reaally feel it taking of the dry skin even with out a glove. I do love this product just dont use it everyday. It did everything ot said it would and smelt amazing

Tips: Use every 3rd or so day as it takes off a lot of dry skin. Dont use an exfoliating glove with it :) it can leave yoyr legs red if you apply roughly but otherwise its amazing
