St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

My thoughts on this facial scrub is that it is very harsh on your skin if you use it to many times. Using it twice a week makes my skin feel refreshed an smooth. It scrub smells okay. When applying it feels like a sandpaper has scrubbed all the dead skin and dirt off. I have sensitive skin so it is actually nice, doesn't irritate my skin which is amazing. Would try it out and see if you like it.

This product is really intensive as an exfoliant as it contains powdered walnut husks. Great subtle apricot/almond smell. Consistency is of a thick cream with grit, which makes for a cleanser with bite. It has a moisturiser quality that makes your skin silky smooth, post removing any dead skin cells and impurities.

I found this product worked best as a body/leg exfoliant rather than on sensitive areas like the face. Although I will use this on my face maybe once a month to remove any built up stubborn grubs and reveal clean new fresh skin, (followed by a mask and a reset rest). I wouldn't recommend using this product on your face too often as it is really harsh and could really do some undesired damage.

This is a great natural product that I would definitely try again.

Love this exfoliator. does a really good job, leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean, you only need a small amount and to use it a few times each week, so it lasts ages and is pretty good for the price. doesnt leave my skin feeling to dry either

I really enjoy using this St Ives Face Scrub , there are 4 types you can buy , i have only used this one and the blemish & black head control one. I have quite sensitive skin but i found this one was fine to use , it can be a bit hard on the skin so next time i think il go for the sensitive skin one. But it always makes my skin feel soft and smooth after using it . It's also a great price!

I have been using this face scrub for a few weeks now and really like it. I particularly like the smell and the apricot pieces. It is definitely very effective in removing dead skin, but I would not use it every day, or even the 3-4 times a week that are recommended as it is pretty strong.

ok i wrote a review on this product a week into using it and at that time i thought it was just average. its now been two weeks and wow my skin is great!!! i totally changed my veiw on it. i dont have any pimples now and im finding i dont have as many black heads. this is now my favourite product!

I've purchased this facial scrub a couple of times to use in the shower and have quite liked it. I love the smell in the morning, refreshing and sweet. Although it's only very cheap I find that it does purify my skin and get rid of dead cells and dirt leaving my skin feeling smooth, clean and soft. It's quite gritty so you don't need to rub it too hard to get the effect of the exfoliating beads. You also don't need much as the formula is quite thick, so a little goes a long way! My skin is normal so I'm not sure if this would be suitable for more sensitive or dry skin types, but it worked well on me.

I do like to use a more expensive and tailored product but the budget doesn't always allow. St Ives was my first foray into exfoliation and it's still my number one inexpensive go-to choice. It is a bit coarse compared to the more expensive options.

Best used in the shower and just once (or maybe twice) a week.

I love this scrub for my body but i find it too rough for my face. I haven't got any at the moment but find my exfoliating gloves do just as good of a job and much cheaper since you buy one pair and they last for ages. I would probably only use it on my face about once or twice a month, i prefer finer grains for a face exfoliant.
