Great exfoliant - but not for my face!

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!

Good exfoliant for the body

I do like this product as an exfoliant for my body, especially in preparation for applying fake tan. It easily sloughs off the dry skin, leaving smooth skin.

However, as others have commented I find this way too harsh for the sensitive skin on my face.

Overall, a reasonable priced, good exfoliant for the body.

not for the face!

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!!!

Hands down THE BEST facial scrub for value

I have oily skin and need a good scrub once a week. This is great value for money and works really well. I find most scrubs are great for the delicate spots but not for the skin that really needs the scrub. Make sure you give your skin a good moisturise afterwards though.

Tips: Don't use this on delicate skin - it is pretty strong. Use a good moisturiser afterwards

St Ives Apricot Scrub

I have been using this product for a few years now and absolutely love it. Face feels smooth, soft, clean & refreshed after use. Takes care of blackheads & dead skin. I find as I grow older I need to use it more often, used to be once a week but now its twice a week.

Tips: Must remember to use a good moisturizer after the scrub.

A reliable classic

I've been using this off and on for a long time. Leaves my skin feeling baby soft but I only use it twice a week - max otherwise my skin gets too dry if I exfoliate too often. Will always be a safe 'go-to' product for me. And the smell is devine!

review

this scrub has been around for so long ! ive used it for year and have to re purchase some as i love it. you have to be careful not to over use it though due t the fact that the beads are more rough than some other products, but it really leaves your skin super soft

Tips: also smells really nice and refreshing which is a bonus

St Ives Scrub

I've found this scrub is best when my skin needs some serious exfoliation. It's definitely not for everyday use that's for sure. The scrub is quite coarse so a little goes a long way. It's great to use on your body as well, I like to use it over my neck, shoulders and arms, and occasionally on my legs if they're getting a tad on the scaly side!

Love this!

Makes my face feel so clean and fresh, and definitely helps with complexion and make up removal. Plus the smell helps :) it's very grainy and doesn't taste too good so be careful around the mouth area. Works well all over body

Not for me

I personally found that this was a little to harsh for my skin for frequent use. I would use it again as a 'once in a blue moon' type of product when my skin is in seem serious need of scrubbing. It does smell good, and your skin definitely feels clean after it. But for skin slightly on the more sensitive side, I wouldn't use it as an everyday kind of scrub.

Thanks for the suggestion but I just found for me it didn't do anything to improve my skin besides making it feel scrubbed. I found the Neutrogena naturals pore scrub worked better for me.

Bummer to hear it was too harsh for you :( I only use mine once a week. I wonder if the sensitive one will work better for you? :)
