St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

if your skin is not that hard or bumpy ,i dont recommend this scrub ,espeacially for sensitive skin even you have a lot of acnes or you think you have oily skin but your skin is not that hard in fact,cause it will cause the skin irritation .

I used to use this religiously as a teen, not realising that it was what was aggravating my skin. It’s a very harsh, physical exfoliant. It really tore my skin apart. I now prefer a gentler chemical exfoliant.

My dry skin didn't really like this scrub. Was a little too rough and left my skin striped. I could only use this once a week tops. May be better for oily skin but definitely wouldn't recommend to those with dry or sensitive skin.

This was a hard product to rate as I have purchased it multiple times - but not for what it is meant for! I use this as a body scrub, particularly in Summer, prior to fake tan. It's great for getting my skin really smooth.

I definitely don't use this for my face as I find it too harsh and granular. I certainly wouldn't use it 3-4 times a week as recommended on the packaging! I have dry skin and I only exfoliate once a week.

I like the smell and the results on the rest of my body. The price is completely reasonable and I really like that it is available from the supermarket - very convenient purchasing!

This is a great exfoliator for your body or dry elbows, knees and heels. This should not be recommended for the face as the 'scub' is actually walnut shells which causes micro tears in the skin. whether you have sensitive skin or not this is damaging the skin on the face. On a plus side it does smell devine!!!

I know some of my friends love this product as they find it makes there face feel clean & smooth, & I'd have to agree with that it definitely does, however I find it a bit too harsh & when using it I really do feel like its scrubbing my skin away not a great feeling, so personally wouldn't use this again

This just did not work for me, I had heard lots of great things about this but it wasn't right for my skin. I have dry, sensitive skin and this scratched and dried out my skin but I would recommend it for other skin types. It does smell really good though and has a good texture for an exfoliator.

I like the smell of this, and that is is great value for money. I don't think it is very good to use frequently on your face though. Ive heard the little apricot bits can really damage the skin on your face. You have to be very gentle when applying, and I would recommend only using it once or twice a week.

I used this scrub for a number of years on my oily skin that had the odd blemish. This product kept my pimples at bay and if I went a week without using it they appeared. It is a product that has an instant effect on the skin. After using it my skin is instantly smooth and freshened. After focusing more on my skincare routine I have decided that this scrub is too harsh for my skin as I now suffer from occasional acne that is easily irritated. I do love the feeling of a gritty scrub but I'm not sure that it is the best thing for my skin. I have since switched to the Clarins One Step Exfoliating Cleanser which is far more gentle. Overall this is the perfect product for those that love a gritty scrub however it wouldn't be suitable for sensitive skin.

I've only used this product once and it does exfoliates well to a point where my skin feels smooth after use. It strips dead/dry skin and leaves face well polised, however, i felt that it stipped too much from my skin and instead of leaving it feeling moisturised, it left my skin feeling extra dry. I feel like i have double- apply moisturiser to restore my skin. The one two positive aspects of this product is the greater amount of exfoliating rocks that makes you feel like your getting a good scrub and that it doesnt make my skin breakout!
