St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub 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

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!

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.

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!!!

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.

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!

I use St Ives products a lot, and this is not an exception. I find it has a lovely subtle fragrance, not too hars, as others may be.

I had reviewed this when I first joined BR, and had said that it didn't smooth over skin as well as other scrubs I had tried, but it is a good gentle scrub, and using constantly, does make a difference to your skin's appearance, and brings through the younger, fresher skin.

Its cheap enough to use often, and is definitely worth the cost. Easy to use, and overall, pretty good.

This scrub is a great pre-tan exfoliant. The beads can be quite rough so I would not recommend using it on your face or areas of overly sensitive skin but elsewhere (legs, arms, etc.) it's great. The formula is quite creamy despite the rough beads so a little does go a long way and, unlike other exfoliants I have tried, it doesn't leave my skin red and irritated afterwards. The scrub does have a pleasant smell, more of a subtle fruity scent than a strong apricot one, I also don't find that the scent lingers after being washed off. Overall I really like this scrub, it leaves my skin super smooth without irritation and you only have to use a small amount each time you scrub!

I am surprised this product has not got a higher rating. I have used this product for many years now and it is has always given me amazing results. I use it 2-3 times a week and it leaves my skins polished and silky smooth. It also makes your makeup look amazing as there is a fresh layer of skin underneath. I also use this product on my knees, elbows etc before I apply fake and it just makes sure that the tan goes on evenly. The product is natural so good for sensitive skin.
