Nope

I tried this stuff and I really don't like it. It was really hard to get off and it didn't do much for my face. I will not be using again.

Bad bad apricot scrub

This product I find not good for anyone's skin. It's pretty harsh ( grainy ) exfoliant inside the actual bottle peels of your skin which will then open up the pores to let dirt in. It's better to use a not so coarse exfoliant and only a light grain exfoliant as it will be better for your skin. And do not exfoliant everyday - maybe once or twice a week.

Tips: Buy a lighter exfoliant as this one is too coarse to anyone's skin

Pros and cons

There is a pro and many cons. Yes it did make my face feel softer, as the beads literally scrubbed my layer of skin off. I used this a few years ago, everyday for a month. I now know better, and I use a gentle cleanser that doesn't feel like sandpaper.

Bad reaction!

This scrub actually made my face feel like it was on fire, im not sure why but it took a long time after i washed it off for my face to feel ok again. So dont recommend it was also a bit of a harsh texture.

Tips: Dont use if u have sensitive skin.

A little too invigorating!

I used this for a long time but have recently switched to St Ives Even and Bright Pink Lemon and Mandarin Scrub as I felt like trying a different fragrance for a change. The St Ives Even and Bright Pink Lemon and Mandarin Scrub feels a LOT more gentle on the skin and it smells a lot nicer! I would therefore not recommend the Invigorating Apricot Scrub anymore as there are nicer, more gentle St Ives products out there..

St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

I used this for over 2 weeks, it dried out my skin, and I really didnt benefit from it. I have dry/sensitive skin so this didnt really help. i used this atleast everyday and irritated my skin, so I had stopped and used only twice a day.

Tips: If you do use this, maybe use 2 times a week to avoid your skin from drying out and use a good moisturiser to help as well.

Very harsh

I used to use this on a regular bases but found that my skin would always be breaking out. I ended up going to a dermatologist and found out that the apricot shell pieces that are in this were breaking my skin, causing it to re-heal but with dirt etc. under it and so the break outs started. Just way too harsh for my skin. I would not recommend to anyone. Or at least I would say not to use it extremely often.

Exactly! I'm forever trying to explain that to people. Those crushed, jagged shell pieces scratch the heck out of your poor skin.

Never again

I was addicted to this product, it gave me that clean tight feeling after use. That's until I went to have a facial and they remarked about my red aggravated skin ... asking if I was using an exfoliater. When I said what I was using they said throw it in the bin it's way too harsh. Never used it again!

Tips: Don't use on your face if you have sensitive skin.

Be warned...

when I first got this product I thought it was awesome, cheap and really felt like it exfoliated! It wasnt untill I went and got a proper facial when they asked what I used to exfoliate and said the apricot scrub that I learnt the truth.. To say I got told off is mild.. Apprently the small fragments of the peach scrub actually causes little scratches all over your skin and is really bad for your skin. so although it might do what it syas it doe, skin experts DO NOT recommend using it.

Tips: I also got told to never exfoliate in the shower because your pores are too open and to instead use a more gentler exfoliator.

Let Down

I switched to this scrub a couple of months ago, having used it in the past with great success, before that I used their Green Tea scrub but.. that wasn't on special that shopping week and decided I'd go with this one for a change.

Mistake.

Where the Green Tea scrub thrived this one failed. I went from having lovely, smooth, blemish and pimple free skin to flaring up within a week of me using it.

It does have a nice scent to it and feels nice when I'm actually using it, but afterwards, there's no difference in my skin, it doesn't feel smoother or as nice as it did. Maybe they changed the formulation? Maybe I had a faulty batch? I don't know.. :(
