Great product!

I use this everyday! It leave skin feeling clean and smoothe! Its so refreshing.. I love the texture as it actually feels like its cleanng your skin. Ive been using this since I was about 15 (im 20 now) I never really have problems with acne etc but this stuff helps when I have blemishes, it drys out pimples so you dont need to pop them etc which helps reduce scarring!

My favourite face scrub + environmental benefits

I'm pretty notorious for treating my skin badly. I almost never wash my face and sometimes sleep with my makeup on, only really using makeup wipes. This scrub is quite literally the only product I use because I love it so much and it makes a huge difference.

Every few days I notice my skins gets a little dry, especially around my nose, and my pores start showing (again, especially on my nose). And this is usually from daily wearing makeup and constantly being in chlorinated water. So being able to scrub my skin clear of all the dead bumps and patches is wonderful, it is pretty tough but doesn't leave your skin raw, instead my skin is left soft and fresh like baby skin.

What I love the most about this product is that recently it has come to my attention that the microbeads in some exfoliants are very dangerous and polluting. Since microbeads are tiny and buoyant they may manage to make it through water treatment and end up back in our oceans where they are mistaken for food by sea life. St. Ives face scrubs (both this and the blemish control one) have 100% natural exfoliants, the don't use microbeads and instead use crushed walnut shell. I'm not an environmentalist, but I think its important to not impact the Earth badly just because I want to wash my face.

So all in all, I love this scrub, its harsh, but not too harsh and more natural than other brands. Its also affordable and can be found at your local supermarket. I'd encourage anyone to make the change from microbeads to St Ives apricot scrub.

Tips: Moisturise after use, I don't recommend exfoliating daily.

Love it and use it all the time.

This product is my go to for exfoliating my acne prone skin as its micro scrubbing particles are great for getting sebum out of pores and preventing irritation but are not too harsh for sensitive skin. This product also has a lovely natural fragrance that isn't too overpowering and could be easily used by any member of the family. A fantastic product from a trusted brand, do check it out!

Tips: Scrubs like this are also good for preventing ingrown hairs around problem sites like bikini lines and armpits.

I use this everyday

I have been using St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub for a few years now. This always leaves my skin soft, also leaves a glow to my face and has been wonderful in reducing the appearance of the odd blemish that I get every now in then which is why I am a big fan of this. Some say you shouldn't use this or facial scrubs in general everyday but I do because I find that it works well for my skin. I also find that moisturiser and makeup sits better on my skin after using this.

Tips: Always use a light hand when applying this and avoid the eye area. Not recommended for everyday use if you have very sensitive skin and are prone to breakouts.

St Ives Apricot Scrub! -Awesome

I got given this product and loved it!! I love the Apricot smell. I love how when you are applying this product you can almost feel it working on your skin. It has quite a lot of exfoliation in it -so if you don't like that scratchy feeling then this is probably not for you. This product is quite thick and lasts quite awhile! It is a screw lid and would be easier if it had a flip back type lid. This product does what it says it will do! You are left with soft clean skin!!

number ONE

This scrub is literally my holy grail of all facial scrubs. There is no other scrub i have tried that does the same thing. I use this everyday, in the morning and at night and my face feels soo smooth! I get asked what foundation I am wearing often, and the thing is, I don't have any on :) LOVE LOVE LOVE.

Tips: Use st yves moisturiser afterwards every time :)

So Fresh & So Clean

Definitely a must in my beauty regime. Have tried other exfoliants but nothing seems to come close. The texture actually feels like its removing all the yuck stuff and you are left with fresh clean skin. Love this product and use it on the daily.

Tried, tested and true!

I've been using St. Ives Apricot scrub since I was in high school. So that's about 14 years ago. For a product to be around that long and to be loved so much speaks for itself. I love the texture and when I use it on my face it really feels like I'm scrubbing the day away. It has a pleasant smell and my skin is always left feeling smooth. It doesn't necessarily help however if you have blemishes or blackheads. It won't get rid of those. I think this is more a product that is great for a weekly scrub, just to get rid of dead skin cells.

Tips: A little goes a long way - it can be a bit abrasive so use sparingly.

amazing!

St Ives exfoliating scrub is my go to scrub!! On the days I decide to wear make up I use this after cleansing to really rid my skin of any leftover make up. I love how the beads feel against my skin. After washing off my skin is left feeling amazingly soft and smooth, very much reminds me of baby skin. I recommend this to everyone who is looking for a new exfoliant. It has the lovely pleasant smell of apricots which I adore! I only use this product a couple of times a week just to be sure I'm not causing damage to.my skin from the exfoliating beads!

A shower staple for years

I have been using St Ives Apricot Scrub for almost 20 years. It is definitely the best exfoliant for me - I love the coarseness/grittiness of it (actually feels like it is exfoliating) - and it isn't too harsh for my skin.

My skin is very smooth afterwards, and it great for getting rid of dry skin. I also use it if I have dead skin elsewhere on my body (arms, legs etc) or for ingrown hairs.

Great apricot smell and good value for money. Definitely recommend.

Tips: Moisturise afterwards as it can take away your skin's natural oils
