Growing up I have always had acne prone skin / hormonal skin and dry skin. I almost gave up hope trying everything like proactiv and all. So I settled for something closer to home. St Ives apricot scrub, the smell is overpowering but it smells good enough to put on your skin - I like it. The thick cream comes out with tones of large granules which is great I guess because it does it better job for my skin. It has a great consistency when your scrubbing your face with in and the results are immediate, you don't have to wait one or two weeks for a better looking skin. My scars had faded as well as redness, acne and blackheads. It did come out drier than usual because I was using this twice everyday because it was THAT GREAT! but I counteracted that with a good based facial oil. I will always fall back on this product when trying new scrubs and exfoliaters because I know it will always work for me.

Tips: Use not only on face but neck, back and chest where I also usually breakout. The results take a bit longer to see but eventually the acne I suffer in those areas do get better and sure enough disappear without scarring.
I have oily/acne prone skin and this works wonders! It's honestly the only acne-fighting scrub that I've noticed a difference with. I use this in conjunction with the St Ive's scrub that has green tea in it, the one that helps with blackheads and redness, and my skin is starting to look a lot better than it did a few months ago. I wouldn't recommend to those with sensitive skin as it's a very course scrub but for me it's just perfect! The smell isn't horrible or too strong either. :)
I've repurchased this after not using it for about a year. I brought it cheap from the warehouse, like $8. I honestly don't know why i stopped using this. Its the best! My skin always feels really clean after using this product. I've used other exfoliators, and they just don't do it for me. I have definitely noticed a reduction in my breakouts since I've started reusing this again, and my makeup has been looking so much better lately. I only use this 2-3 times a week. I have combination/normal skin, and this is the perfect amount of use for me. I am never going to stop using this. Don't know why I stopped in the first place!
Tips: This is not a makeup remover, so remove make up first then use this product.
I have very sensitive skin and have had no issues using this. I think it is amazing! I use it everyday and it leaves my skin feeling soft and clean. To make it less scratchy i put a little bit of water in my hand which sort of thins it out. This definately helps my skin a lot. It is usually on sale for $8 at countdown. A definate staple for me.
I like a good scrubby exfoliator and that's what this is - with the added benefit of the chemical exfoliation at the same time. Very effective. Sometimes I smear it on at the beginning of my shower (after washing my face) and let it sit on my skin like a mask, then scrub and rinse off at the end. Do be careful not to get it in your eyes as you can suffer a chemical burn from it!
Since I can remember St Ives has always been in our bathrooms. Now that my teen needs to deep clean once in awhile we turned to St Ives again. Works perfectly everytime.
I've been using this product for so long now and I can not live with out. Some people find the scrub to be too abrasive but I find that if you use this once a week and if you don't have sensitive skin it does what it says. It's also important to not scrub too hard as it definitely will be irritating. But it gets rid of the dead skin and after using it my skin feels so much smoother and soft!
this product is amazing I had doubts about trying it, but im glad I brought i,t it really does smell like apricots and the exfoliating factor is amazing ive never felt one so strong, I have no doubts now for its works amazingly good
