St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I really like this scrub. I brought it as it was on special without knowing if it would be good or not an I was pleasantly surprised. It has exfoliates my skin really well and has a lot of particles to scrub your face so it feels like it's doing a great job. My skin feels nice and smooth afterwards. One of the best points for me is that it is a natural product.

This is one of my all all time fave body scrubs. I say body scrub because it is just too harsh for my sensitive skin on my face, my face stings afterwards and always comes out red angry and blotchy....so I started using it on my body instead and it is AMAZING! it smells delicious and makes my skin feel fresh, perfect for prepping my skin for tanning

I've always used this scrub as my standard in my routine. It exfoliates my skin well without it being too harsh on my sensitive skin. I'd definitely repurchase and recommend to my friends

This is a seriously good scrub!!! The exfoliating granules are quite harsh, in that they are solid, a good size and quite plentiful! I find that using this scrub a couple of times a week is enough to achieve good results. It leaves your skin feeling very smooth. Whilst leaving skin cleansed, I don't find that it leaves my face with that nice fresh feeling of other cleansers or scrubs.

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!

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 love the St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub! It is my "go to" facial scrub which I have used for the past few years. After washing off the scrub, it leaves my skin and face feeling clean and refreshed which is nice! It also doesn't dry my skin up, and since my T-zone tends to get a bit oily after a long day (or when my face feels like it needs a bit of freshening), it helps to remove the groggy oily feeling off my face, which is the one thing I really like about this scrub! Another good thing about this scrub is that it smells nice.

On the other hand, the scrub can be a bit harsh (depending on how much you scrub you apply) and may hurt your skin after. Instead, I only use a little dab of the scrub so that I don't hurt my face with too much scrub. Also, I'm not too sure if they still do this, but this product used to have two types available - one for normal skin types and another more gentle one available for sensitive skin types. I have tried both the normal one and the sensitive skin one, and they are both great! I prefer the sensitive skin one more though as it is less harsh on the skin (it has gentle microbeads instead) but still leaves your face with the same fresh and clean feeling!

I have used this for 5 years and never looked back orused anything else. I had such problems with my skin and then started a cetaphil routine and added this into the mix! The consistency is just right, it does not have a strong scent and is perfect for use in the shower, or for a more rough clean I use it out of the shower too. So you can do a few things with it. I love it so much my partner even got me two bottles of it for christmas! Highly recommend

I discovered this little beauty by accident as I usually use Elizabeth Arden which is real gentle on my acne. It was an emergency purchase at countdown because I was clear out of face wash and St Ives was on special and cheapest.

While washing my face the beads in the cream felt so good on my face. I have a really oily skin and it felt as if my skin was being deep cleansed and all the crud of the day was just being washed away.

I love that the creamy consistency makes my skin feel like it doesnt need a moisturiser but I would never be that naughty :). The love the pleasant and gentle apricot smell. I usually steer away from fruity washes because I hate the feeling and smell of being dunked in a fruit salad, but this is just enough fruity for me.

I really love how I dont need alot of product so it seems my tube may last a good while. I dont know about you ladies but I absolutely love a surprise find that turns out to be a gem.
