St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I have been using this scrub for years and I like it. It's a good price face scrub and I would buy it on special which was even better. I would only use it once or twice a week as the exfoliating bits are quite harsh so it really gives my skin a good scrub and leaves it nice and smooth. I have used it on my body aswell which I found great. It can make your skin a little dry afterwards so moisturising straight after is best. Was good to use at night if my face was a bit oily.

This was one of the very first scrubs I used as a teenager. This scrub unfortunately is is too harsh for my sensitive facial skin. I suffered bad redness after using this and my skin felt sore. I now use Oasis fruit smoothie as it is much move delicate but effective. I ended up using this on my body instead. My skin felt clean without feeling like it's been stripped of all its good oils. It is great for skin prep before a tan and helps my moisturiser absorb better into my skin as it's much smoother. I would recommend only using this once a week as it does a very good job exfoliating.

I was introduced to St Ives when I was a teenager. My cousin left me a sample and I found that it was awesome for my acne ridden skin. Made my skin really smooth and soft. However I couldnt find it back home so I had to leave it at that.

When in NZ, I managed to grab myself a tube of it. It did do all that it had said. My skin was back to its pre acne stage. Nice, smooth with clean pores. The scent itself was okay and not in your face types. The only problem it seems to have is that the apricot shell bits are not smooth and are too rough for sensitive skin. Thus I have stopped using it for the time being. Depending on skin types this is a good budget friendly scrub.

I tried St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub a while back. St Ives is great for getting a really decent amount of product for an affordable price.

To apply, wet your face then massage the product onto your face and wash it off.

This product gives a nice deep clean. However it can be slightly more abrasive so I would only use it up to twice a week.

I use exfoliators or scrubs all over the body as I use fake tan and exfoliating is part of my pre-tanning routine. Because this apricot scrub has lots of product, it lasts me which is fantastic. On the body its abrasion potential also isn't quite as detrimental.

I would use it again because it's great for pre-tanning. As a face scrub though I would pick something else. It is however good value and it's good you have the option of using it on both the face and body.

Nice clean and simple packaging, easy to read and I love that this isn't tested on animals.

The product squeezes out easily and you can see the bits of ground up apricot kernel? (I read the ingredients list but I am still unsure, it might be walnut?). It's good at exfoliating and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth afterwards but I also find it drying if used too frequently (it says on the tube use 3-4 times a week, this is too much for me; twice a week is ample for my skin). Make sure you use a light touch to exfoliate so you don't damage you skin too much and follow with a good moisturiser.

I used to buy this all the time when I was younger as it was affordable and effective. The scratchy-ness off it makes me concerned for the damage it could be doing to my facial skin so I no longer use it for that purpose. I bought it again recently on a supermarket spend but have used it more as a body scrub. It lasts a long time too so it makes it great value for money.

A staple in my routine. I use this products a couple of times a week in the shower. The walnut provides a thorough exfoliation with the apricot moisturising. I find I need to be gentle when applying as it can be quite scratching if too much pressure used. When I have small bumps or uneven skin I use this and come out with a face as smooth as a baby's bottom! Definitely recommend.

This is one of the first scrubs I used and it's normally always in my cupboard if I run out plus i our teenagers have also taken a fancy to it which is great because it's not too expensive

It made my skin so soft and smooth like a baby's bottom I would use this again and again cause its amazing.

that amazing yummmy smell, feels wonderful when you massage in on your face and gives amazing reasult, however after about 5 months of using it, the product just stopped working as well on my skin. other then that i loved the product, even though i will not be using it anymore but i would recommend it to anyone to try it, since everyones skin is different :)
