St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

For that huge "supermarket brand" market, be assured this one is a winner!

St Ives has been around since I was a teenager, little under the radar and just ticks along quietly.

I do love a scrub, for me it really just keeps my skin smooth and prevents all those pesky little bumps.

I always come back to this product. There really has been a revolution in exfoilators with the removal of microbeads (which really made me think twice about those pesky beads). This one is made with 100% natural apricot extract. Tube is 150ml, generous. Many variants availabe but this one my favourite.

The price and formats vary greatly out there, I can recommend St Ives as genuine value for money and don't feel like I need to spend more than $10.00. Why would I? For me I can use the extra pennies saved on other products that I feel is justified being more expensive.

Over the years my skin has become much more sensitive, for me I now use a very gentle approach to exfoilating, lightly massaging in and gently washing off with face cloth, always with warm water. I cant really give exfoilating a miss, for some reason I'm a sucker for it. But I do use it only a few times a week now. Exfoilating is in addition to using cream or oil clleansers.

Since I add this product into my skincare routine. I feel a difference in the texture of my skin. It was so soft and smooth. It's the best product I have used so far.

I have used this product in the past. Unless I used the exfoliating scrub, my face did not feel clean!! I did this twice a day however, and when I spoke to a dermatologist she advised me that it was not a good idea to be using a facial scrub every day. This was because while it may make my skin feel AMAZING right now, in the future it may leave my skin more prone to wrinkles. But this product smells amazing and leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. Would definitely recommend it.

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

I have this in my shower so thought I may as well review it. I use this product all the time! Well every second day as recommended. It is affordable and does the job. I like the smell and it doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Give it a go because I think it is great value for money.

Smelt delicious! did exactly what it said it would, it left my face feeling clean which i loved because a lot of washes either leave my skin dry or oily and this didn't. It was a little bit rough so i think fi you had quite sensitive skin, it wouldn't be a good face wash to use.. but i get a lot of black heads so the fact that i could feel it scrubbing and washing my face was awesome! I would definitely use this again.

Have been using St Ives since I was a child when my mum first brought it for me and to this day it is my one and only facial product. Love how it cleans deep and Henry exfoliates my skin without feeling like sandpaper! I have really sensitive skin and I have never reacted to St Ives! Will be my one and only for a long time yet

This is basically a cult classic. It gets the job done right all the time and it feels really good on the skin. I prefer my scrubs to be quite 'scrubby' or grainy so it feels like it's doing something, and the St Ives scrub is perfect for that.

This facial scrub is the best i have used, I love that grittier feel it has, after just one use i noticed my skin was alot smoother and after 4 use's my face is the best i have seen it in months. I use it every 2nd night after a days work to scrub away that old skin plus i have noticed that my night creme is absorbed better also, so with the help of this awesome scrub i have noticf visably smaller pores which i never had before. My skin is very bad for breakouts but since using have had less.
