St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I use to use the apricot scrub every day. At first it was great and made my face really soft but it was too harsh for me (slightly sensitive skin) and I would end up quite red in the face. I also found it quite drying so always used a lot of moisturiser afterwards. Would give it another go but maybe just use it once a week on a no makeup day

I got this after seeing it in my sister's bathroom - and hearing that she loved it. Well, so do I! I absolutely love the fresh apricot smell.I appreciate that the beads really do exfoliate my skin (some exfoliators can be average and not work too well). It's a brilliant product and I'd be happy to use it for years to come.

This scrub is literally my holy grail of all facial scrubs. There is no other scrub i have tried that does the same thing. I use this everyday, in the morning and at night and my face feels soo smooth! I get asked what foundation I am wearing often, and the thing is, I don't have any on :) LOVE LOVE LOVE.

I started using St Ives after having used average facial scrubs for a couple of years and I was so impressed! I use St Ives 3 times weekly ( I have quite oily, blackhead prone skin) and the results for me are less breakouts, better control of blackheads and my skin is softer to touch. I especially notice the difference around my nose and chin area where I breakout often. St Ives leaves my skin looking and feeling fresh. It is a thick, grainy, delicious smelling apricot scrub that you only need a small amount (pea size) to get the job done- so it last ages. The apricot smell is present yet not too overpowering. I also love that St Ives is an affordable brand generally only paying $7-9 for a bottle.

I got given this product and loved it!! I love the Apricot smell. I love how when you are applying this product you can almost feel it working on your skin. It has quite a lot of exfoliation in it -so if you don't like that scratchy feeling then this is probably not for you. This product is quite thick and lasts quite awhile! It is a screw lid and would be easier if it had a flip back type lid. This product does what it says it will do! You are left with soft clean skin!!

I have been using St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub for a few years now. This always leaves my skin soft, also leaves a glow to my face and has been wonderful in reducing the appearance of the odd blemish that I get every now in then which is why I am a big fan of this. Some say you shouldn't use this or facial scrubs in general everyday but I do because I find that it works well for my skin. I also find that moisturiser and makeup sits better on my skin after using this.

This product is my go to for exfoliating my acne prone skin as its micro scrubbing particles are great for getting sebum out of pores and preventing irritation but are not too harsh for sensitive skin. This product also has a lovely natural fragrance that isn't too overpowering and could be easily used by any member of the family. A fantastic product from a trusted brand, do check it out!

I'm pretty notorious for treating my skin badly. I almost never wash my face and sometimes sleep with my makeup on, only really using makeup wipes. This scrub is quite literally the only product I use because I love it so much and it makes a huge difference.

Every few days I notice my skins gets a little dry, especially around my nose, and my pores start showing (again, especially on my nose). And this is usually from daily wearing makeup and constantly being in chlorinated water. So being able to scrub my skin clear of all the dead bumps and patches is wonderful, it is pretty tough but doesn't leave your skin raw, instead my skin is left soft and fresh like baby skin.

What I love the most about this product is that recently it has come to my attention that the microbeads in some exfoliants are very dangerous and polluting. Since microbeads are tiny and buoyant they may manage to make it through water treatment and end up back in our oceans where they are mistaken for food by sea life. St. Ives face scrubs (both this and the blemish control one) have 100% natural exfoliants, the don't use microbeads and instead use crushed walnut shell. I'm not an environmentalist, but I think its important to not impact the Earth badly just because I want to wash my face.

So all in all, I love this scrub, its harsh, but not too harsh and more natural than other brands. Its also affordable and can be found at your local supermarket. I'd encourage anyone to make the change from microbeads to St Ives apricot scrub.

Although slightly more expensive than most face scrubs but it really works. It makes your face feel so smooth and does help get rid of black heads. I would really recommend this even if your skins pretty good. It doesn't smell very strong and you don't have to use very much each time and you can use it as often as you want.

I use this everyday! It leave skin feeling clean and smoothe! Its so refreshing.. I love the texture as it actually feels like its cleanng your skin. Ive been using this since I was about 15 (im 20 now) I never really have problems with acne etc but this stuff helps when I have blemishes, it drys out pimples so you dont need to pop them etc which helps reduce scarring!
