Can't beat St Ives

I have used this apricot scrub for a while as when I was in England I used to always use another St Ives Apricot Scrub to me they are the same, same great smell I remember and what it does to your skin. its so smooth and I have not had any adult acne breakout since I started to use this twice a week

Tips: Use anywhere I ran out of body scrub and used this on my legs, mmm apricot scented smooth legs =D

Ouch!

This scrub is very rough, the particles in the scrub are large too. I bought this product and only used it once as it left my skin feeling raw and dry. I will be sticking to the St Ives Microdermabrasion which has much finer granules.

Tips: Try the St Ives Microdermabrasion scrub if you have sensitive skin.

Scratches up my face

I have used this product and find that it is to harse on my face. As i wash my face it feels like I am scrubbing it with gravel... Have found better products out there however it did leave my skin feeling good apart from being abit sore straight after.

Tips: Don't use if you have sensitive skin

Scrub a dub

The product does it's job, I'm unsure if I will use again, still sitting in the shower unused. Don't think I will recommend to anyone, way better products out there! May just wrap it up and give it to my husband to use, for when he gets home from a hard day work.

An old fave

I've always used this exfoliating scrub and I've always loved it. I normally give a good scrub before a night out (only once a week at the most) and it gives a fantastically soft and smooth feeling. It's lush. And so cheap. A beauty must have!!

Tips: Don't exfoliate more often than once a week. Especially of you have sensitive skin. You don't want to strip your skin of all its goodness.

Too harsh for facial skin...

The grains in this are quite irritating and actually scratch the skin - it is a very effective scrub for arms and body but it will rip your skin apart. I have dry sensitive skin and I actually use Avons clearskin acne range scrub with no issues it is packed with small rounded beads unlike the big pieces of crushed walnut shell in this Apricot scrub. Alternatively the St Ives olive range scrub is alot kinder on the face than this product.

Tips: Good for scrubbing arms, elbows and dry knees but not your face!

I found it too rough for my face as well, but I never thought of using it on other places on my body. Thanks for the tip!

A little bit too rough for me!

I love exfoliators! I think they serve an important part in every womans skincare routine. St Ives has a great reputation but I did find this scrub a little bit harsh for my skin and I do prefer exfoliators which have smaller grains in them. Having said that, it does smell really nice and does make your skin feel clean, but I don't think I would re buy.

Tips: Buy a sample size first if you can!

I totally agree - it does make your skin feel clean but it is too rough.

Great Product

I am surprised this product has not got a higher rating. I have used this product for many years now and it is has always given me amazing results. I use it 2-3 times a week and it leaves my skins polished and silky smooth. It also makes your makeup look amazing as there is a fresh layer of skin underneath. I also use this product on my knees, elbows etc before I apply fake and it just makes sure that the tan goes on evenly. The product is natural so good for sensitive skin.

Tips: you only need a really small amount and should last for months

Deep scrub!

This scrub is a great pre-tan exfoliant. The beads can be quite rough so I would not recommend using it on your face or areas of overly sensitive skin but elsewhere (legs, arms, etc.) it's great. The formula is quite creamy despite the rough beads so a little does go a long way and, unlike other exfoliants I have tried, it doesn't leave my skin red and irritated afterwards. The scrub does have a pleasant smell, more of a subtle fruity scent than a strong apricot one, I also don't find that the scent lingers after being washed off. Overall I really like this scrub, it leaves my skin super smooth without irritation and you only have to use a small amount each time you scrub!

Tips: Use before you fake tan, makes it last much longer and your skin feels super soft!

Pretty good stuff!

I use St Ives products a lot, and this is not an exception. I find it has a lovely subtle fragrance, not too hars, as others may be.

I had reviewed this when I first joined BR, and had said that it didn't smooth over skin as well as other scrubs I had tried, but it is a good gentle scrub, and using constantly, does make a difference to your skin's appearance, and brings through the younger, fresher skin.

Its cheap enough to use often, and is definitely worth the cost. Easy to use, and overall, pretty good.
