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.
My thoughts on this facial scrub is that it is very harsh on your skin if you use it to many times. Using it twice a week makes my skin feel refreshed an smooth. It scrub smells okay. When applying it feels like a sandpaper has scrubbed all the dead skin and dirt off. I have sensitive skin so it is actually nice, doesn't irritate my skin which is amazing. Would try it out and see if you like it.
This used to be my facial scrub of all time and then it started to dry my skin out. Going back a few years though, I loved the granules in this scrub which made me believe that my skin was getting cleansed and exfoliated but wasn't worth the end result. Dry skin!
I found this facial scrub quite un-impressive, it was almost like a scrub that you could make at home. It didn't leave my skin 'radiant' but the beads did exfoliate well enough. I have quite sensitive skin so this product could not be used daily (even though it said it could be used daily on the packaging) it made my skin feel stretched and dry.. not ideal.. However, that being said, if this scrub is used once every few days it could well serve its purpose well.
Tips: If you have quite sensitive skin i would recommend the Neutrogena facial scrub with sea salt. Its in a purple tube and is my favorite!
I did really enjoy using this product when I had it but it wasn't a product that made me re-purchase straight away. I would use it again as it is one of my favourites so far but I will still look for an alternative first. It is a good face wash it does clean your face well but not like you could see really good results even after you've used it for a while
Love this scrub because it has natural ingredients... the scrub is light but grainy so it takes off dead skin and dirt well... smells lovely.. and leaves the skin feeling totally refreshed and renewed.... the difference is immediately visible and i would recommend this to all my friends... it has also been 100% dermatologically tested... and i think an all round great product....
Tips: Not to be used everyday as you dont want to strip your skin of its natural moisture too much... so i would say twice a week would be fine....
St. Ives is a favourite brand of mine that I use daily. I love how their products contain mostly natural ingredients, and are gentle on my skin. I use this invigorating apricot scrub once a week or once every two weeks to keep my skin glowing and acne free. It really works! For me at least. And I have heard many good things about it from friends and family too. I wouldn't use it too often as it could irritate the skin and cause it to dry out if used more than twice a week.
Tips: Use once a week or once every two weeks
This just did not work for me, I had heard lots of great things about this but it wasn't right for my skin. I have dry, sensitive skin and this scratched and dried out my skin but I would recommend it for other skin types. It does smell really good though and has a good texture for an exfoliator.
My go to exfoliator. Does the job and even better, it smells great. Makes your skin look beautiful and smooth. You do not need to use much of it- a little goes a long way. Only needs to be used about 1-2 times a week as overuse can damage the skin as it is a harsh product (needs to be to be able to remove all your dead skin)!
Tips: Takes awhile to wash it all off
I like the smell of this, and that is is great value for money. I don't think it is very good to use frequently on your face though. Ive heard the little apricot bits can really damage the skin on your face. You have to be very gentle when applying, and I would recommend only using it once or twice a week.
Tips: Great for exfoliating other areas of your body that can take more of a hammering than your facial skin. e.g back, butt, thighs
