I love this! The texture is just right. It's grainy and moist, not too rough and clumpy. The price is not to bad for something of this quality. The smell is fruity. After exfoliating, my face feels smooth and tender. My face is neither irritated, nor inflamed which is what i look for

This scrub smells delicious! There's nothing I enjoy more in the shower than scrubbing away the day with the lovely apricot scent!
I find that this facial scrub definitely does remove my make-up, and dead skin. However recently I have been noticing my blackheads on my nose aren't going away, so I may have to move try something else for the blackheads which is disappointing. . I use this daily, however this is not recommended. I just don't feel like my skin is clean and fresh after showering if I don't use this. I find that by using this daily my makeup goes on nicely and I get an overall smoother appearance. It also definitely helps to control my oily skin!
The bottle is an easy-to-use and hold in shower, you just open the cap and squeeze a pee size amount onto your fingertips! I find that the packaging stays clean and is definitely easy to use!
I find that for the price and results, the scrub lasts a decent amount of time and I don't find myself running out too often and feeling disappointed as though I didn't get my moneys worth! It is definitely worth it!
I have been using this for years and will continue to do so!
Tips: Scrub harder or softer depending on level of cleanse required.
If you like the smell of apricot then you will love this. The scent reminds me a lot of apricot yoghurt - it's subtle, sweet and delicious.
This has micro beads that slough your skin off to get rid of any nastiness and reveal the new skin underneath.
I have dry, sensitive skin so this was a little harsh on my face but I actually ended up using it on my legs during summer to keep them looking glowy and it made them feel soft and look nice.
On my face, however, it felt a little too coarse and left my skin really dry. It did take the old skin off and exfoliate well but it left my face feeling a little raw and red.
You get a lot in the tube and this lasted me for around 6 months (I wasn't using it daily however).
If you have normal/oily skin I would recommend it as it does what it says it will, smells amazing and is affordable. However if you're like me and have dry sensitive skin, I would recommend you try something else.
Tips: If you have dry or sensitive skin you probably won't enjoy this.
I really wanted to like this lots! I found it a bit to harsh for my face. So instead used it on my body & feet. The beads are great on feet!! Great as a exfoliation but not on my face.
Packaging is really nice. Good pricing and easy to find at a supermarket.
Smells lovely in the morning shower. A shame it's to really aimed at sensitive dry skin :(
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.
This was one of the first scrubs I used & fell in love with as a teenager. It smells amazing! The lotion is nice & creamy & you can see the grit (brown flecks from the apricot seed shell I believe). You can really feel it exfoliating your skin but be careful not to rub too hard. Easy option to grab for in the shower for a reasonable price
Tips: Apply in nice small circles for a good deep clean but be careful not to rub too hard.
St Ives has quality products this in particular is used not jst by myself but my daughters as well. We tend to jump between certain products depending on time of year. It has a nice texture and easy to used the exfoliating beads work really well and there a lots of them. The after feeling is awesome
This smells delicious and is very effective but I would definitely not recommend it as a face exfoliant for those with quite sensitive skin as it is a little bit harsh. I can only use it once or twice a week, otherwise I find it too rough, and I only use it in the shower as, like someone else had mentioned, it is very grainy and a little difficult to get it all off otherwise. I will use this on other areas of my body as well before waxing and shaving because it is so good!
Tips: Not for sensitive faces!
This is a classic I am pretty sure it was the first ever facial scrub I tried and it is amazing. It has the perfect grit to cream ratio and leaves my skin feeling clean, fresh, make up and dead skin free.
I have never had problems with stinging or irritation using this and I sometimes have slightly sensitive skin
A full size tube will last me a good 4-5 months depending on how much I alternate with other cleansers and the smell is ok not too perfumed . I will forever be a apricot scrub user.
This scrub is great to use a few times a week when your skin is just feeling extra grubby and your normal cleanser just won't do. When used as directed, the micro-beads exfoliate the skin deeper than an ordinary cleanser would, getting rid of any grease/oil, hard to remove makeup or fresh sweat from the gym. My skin feels so clean and smooth and appears soft and shiny after using this product. Its my favourite face scrub, and the fruity apricot smell is a wonderful bonus!
Tips: Make sure you rinse your face thoroughly after using the scrub to remove all the small beads - if i don't do this properly, i often find beads still stuck to my face when i'm moisturising afterwards.
