St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

It is hard to find a scrub that is not too harsh and exfoliates effectively at the same time. I have been using this one for a while now and I am in love with how it makes my skin feel brighter and cleaner , without making it red or breaking out in acne. Definitely plan to continue with this one.

First of all the packaging is simple to use. There's no hard to open lid and no tipping and waiting for the product to get to the top. It also smells quite nice.

You only need a small amount at a time so a bottle lasts a long time. I found the exfoliating part slightly on the harsh side for my face, with the odd larger grain which was kind of unpleasant. It doesn't wash off quite as easily as other exfoliants.

After use my skin feels very smooth but leaning towards dry. If you have sensitive skin this may not be the product for you. I now use an exfoliating cleanser with a smaller exfoliant that I find easier on my skin.

I picked this up on sale at The Warehouse after hearing how it was a cult classic, and I'm not disappointed! It's one of the best scrubs I've used and I definitely recommend it.

It comes in a squeeze tube, and for the price you get quite a lot of product. You only need a tiny bit, and I found one tube lasted me 2-3 months. This smells like apricot kind of, and is quite a fresh scent. It's very thick, but spreads out and exfoliates easily. But if you don't like a really tough scrub, I wouldn't recommend this. It did a really good job at getting all my dry skin off and left my face feeling super soft.

Overall I'd really recommend this, it certainly lives up to what people say about it and is worth a go! Make sure you pick it up when it's on sale though.

This is one of my favourite scrubs however i have really sensitive skin so i have always used it on my body rather than my face. Always leaves skin feeling nice and smooth

its exactly what it says it is. a exfoliating scrub! this product is great.I have sensitive skin so using srubs and creams on my skin can be damaging. This scrub is great on my skin i use it everyday. It smells great and makes my skin feel so smooth and fresh

Worked so well to clear my skin up. Not too harsh either.Smells very good ,but not too strong. the little beads didnt always 100% wash of though, but still a very good scrub

This scrub is great at heavy duty exfoliation, but the uneven exfoliating pieces are bad for your skin as they are too rough. They work by scratching your skin.

I used to live by this scrub, the affordability crossed with its quality is always a win win situation. Unfortunatley I did recently find out that they still test on animals vigorously, which makes me regret my recent purchases...

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 have bought this scrub several times from New World, usually managing to get it for around $8.

It comes in a standard tube with a picture of an apricot that I find strangely organic and appealing. The St Ives brand is well known and I find their products very good in general.

The product is quite thick and I find it quite harsh, which has appealed to me in the past but not so much now that my skin is a little more sensitive. It would sometimes leave red patches. Having said that, I find it does a good job of cleansing. I've now moved on to a different St Ives scrub that I find more gentle and suitable for my skin type.

This is a good scrub for the right type of skin, but not so suitable for sensitive skins.
