St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

This scrub is one that really feels like it gets rid of all your dry, dead skin. The particles are quite large and abrasive, so I couldn't this working for people with sensitive skin. However I do enjoy using this when my weekly chemical exfoliant is not enough. The scent is pleasant, it is not too drying, and the redness from scrubbing goes away relatively quickly. That said, I only use this because my mother purchases it. I would not purchase it myself.

A good value product which is easily accessible from the supermarket. Lasts a long time due to only using it once or twice a week and mostly does what it says it should - exfoliates and deep cleans. Although it doesn't manage to get to get as deep into my nose pores as I would like. I have sensitive which is dry throughout the winter and I haven't had any issues using it.

This is one of the few face scrub's I've had. It smells really good. I like how it feels when I am applying it on to my face. You don't need to use a lot of product. After rinsing and drying my face it would feel tight and look really clean. My face has a lot of texture which is why I need a good face scrub. I didn't break out. It made my skin look soft and flawless and it felt soft also. My skin would smell nice as well. It's good to use about 3 times a week maybe depending on what skin you have. It made my skin look and feel smooth but I feel like it wasn't making much of a difference to the texture on my forehead which was what I was hoping for and bought it for. I only bought one so I thought maybe you will need to keep using it to see a more accurate result.

I have used this scrub for well over five years. basically because it is easily found in a supermarket, relatively inexpensive, and does what it says it does. I use it nearly every night in the shower as i find it is not to abrasive for my skin. It does reduce blackheads and gets rid of excess oil. One downside is the beads in the product that are not so great for the environment.

I actually really, really loved this product. It smells great, you dont need a lot so it lasts a decent amount of time and it was great on my skin. I have a mixture of oily and dry skin, and it never dried me out yet got deep into my pores to reduce blackheads. You feel like your getting a real decent clean without the scratching at your fave feeling, And if you wear minimal make up you don't need to cleanse every day. Only thing off putting is that it is bad for the environment, so after using this strictly for years I gave it up. Unfortunately I have not came across another cleanser this good and it is sorely missed, so if anyone comes across something just like this please let me know

I've been using the St Ives Green tea scrub for a while and thought I would give this a try as the exfoliation is 'next level up' It's not something I would use everyday as its a really thorough exfoliation- perfect for after heavy makeup use or when needing a thorough cleanse. It has a lovely scent, and the bonus the exfoliant is walnut shell ground not plastic

I remember the article about this scrub and commented saying how I didn't like it.

Using it as a teen and in my early 20s I remember how badly my skin broke out using it so it was a product that wasn't on my radar until recently.

I stood in the skincare isle of our local supermarket looking at all the scrubs available and this one really stood out. It got me wondering, with my mature skin could it possibly work for me now??? So I made the purchase.

Boy am I glad I did! I started using this product once a week in the morning and within 2 weeks I noticed the difference in my skin. so that's only 2 washes. Now it wasn't less break outs that I noticed but it was how hydrated my skin was. My usual dry patches gone! My skin felt so incredible and soft.

The more I used it I noticed the less pimples I was getting and I was getting less blackheads also.

The formula itself is quite thick and well chunky. For a scrub it was no surprise to me. It was gentle and didn't feel overly harsh when washes my face with it.

I still only use it once a week which seems to be the perfect thing for my skin at the moment.

I know many people who have tried this so when my sister brought this home one day I was eager to try it. Being the type of person who didn't really ever have bad skin texture my skin suddenly became rough and flakey. This product polished my face and now it is extremely smooth and glowy. I will continue using this once a week since it is quite coarse compared to the rest of my exfoliants.
