Many reviews say this is too harsh for the skin but I keep using it. Just a little bit and only once a week or once every two weeks to get rid of any bumps or rough patches of skin when it's the winter months but also to clear my nose of any blackheads.

Tips: Be gentle and don't use it too often.
I love a good facial scrub. This one has a thick texture and may not suit sensitive skin so I would advise to gently apply the product if so. It works well on my skin and leaves it feeling fresh & smooth
I love the apricot range! The exfoliating is quite harsh, so you want to rub gently into your face! The smell is delicious and it definitely helps remove dead skin and open your pores! If you are wanting a deep cleanse and heavy duty scrub then this is ideal but would not use it every day!
Tips: I use this once a weak as it is quite a deep clean, apply gently as well as quite coarse
This is a great scrub to have in the shower. I use it four or 5 times a week to help with dead skin. Noticed a reduction in acne too within a week of using it.
I am loving the deep clean that this product is giving me. I like how it gets rid of all the dead skin and leaves my skin feeling really soft. using this product has made it easier for me to apply my foundation as I am starting on a better canvas. I will defiantly keep using this product.
I have used this exfoliator for years and after trying new products I always come back to it. I find I only need to use it a few times a week and in the winter when my skin gets particularly dry I don't use it as often. It feels so refreshing!
Tips: It is quite intense so if you have dry or sensitive skin don't use it too often!
This is a good product . it has 2% salcylic acid which is the same amount of acne fighting ingredients as things such as proactive without all the bleach that goes with it . However it is quite harsh on skin as the beads are quite big and there's a lot of them . If you don't like this part of the face scrub you can always mix it with a cleanser (I use dove normal skin cleanser which is light blue) Because of this cleansers texture it makes the beads a lot less harsh on skin . You can also opt for the st. Ives green tea scrub which has more of a sand texture then beads so it's not so hard (this only has 1% salcylic acid) I have used both apricot and green tea .
Tips: Use once a day maximum ,or stick to the recommended use of 4x a week . At other times use a cleanser . It can be a little drying so invest in a good oil free moisturiser and avoid using a foaming cleanser as most of these are also drying . Wouldn't recomend this for sensitive skin
When I first used this I had an exfoliating glove on aswell as using this. I dont recomended doing that as you can reaally feel it taking of the dry skin even with out a glove. I do love this product just dont use it everyday. It did everything ot said it would and smelt amazing
Tips: Use every 3rd or so day as it takes off a lot of dry skin. Dont use an exfoliating glove with it :) it can leave yoyr legs red if you apply roughly but otherwise its amazing
I started using this midway through last year and fall more in love with it with every use. It is a very abrasive texture, so ideal for about 3 times a week. it has helped clear my acne up, and reduce the oily-ness of my skin! it's one of those products i will continue to use - even my mum used to use it growing up and uses it occasionaly now.
I love this, can be a bit drying so following up with a toner and Moisturizer is recommended. Smells divine. Great for blemish control and clear skin
