St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I picked this up on sale at The Warehouse after hearing how it was a cult classic, and I'm not disappointed! It's one of the best scrubs I've used and I definitely recommend it.

It comes in a squeeze tube, and for the price you get quite a lot of product. You only need a tiny bit, and I found one tube lasted me 2-3 months. This smells like apricot kind of, and is quite a fresh scent. It's very thick, but spreads out and exfoliates easily. But if you don't like a really tough scrub, I wouldn't recommend this. It did a really good job at getting all my dry skin off and left my face feeling super soft.

Overall I'd really recommend this, it certainly lives up to what people say about it and is worth a go! Make sure you pick it up when it's on sale though.

First of all the packaging is simple to use. There's no hard to open lid and no tipping and waiting for the product to get to the top. It also smells quite nice.

You only need a small amount at a time so a bottle lasts a long time. I found the exfoliating part slightly on the harsh side for my face, with the odd larger grain which was kind of unpleasant. It doesn't wash off quite as easily as other exfoliants.

After use my skin feels very smooth but leaning towards dry. If you have sensitive skin this may not be the product for you. I now use an exfoliating cleanser with a smaller exfoliant that I find easier on my skin.

It is hard to find a scrub that is not too harsh and exfoliates effectively at the same time. I have been using this one for a while now and I am in love with how it makes my skin feel brighter and cleaner , without making it red or breaking out in acne. Definitely plan to continue with this one.

that amazing yummmy smell, feels wonderful when you massage in on your face and gives amazing reasult, however after about 5 months of using it, the product just stopped working as well on my skin. other then that i loved the product, even though i will not be using it anymore but i would recommend it to anyone to try it, since everyones skin is different :)

It made my skin so soft and smooth like a baby's bottom I would use this again and again cause its amazing.

This is one of the first scrubs I used and it's normally always in my cupboard if I run out plus i our teenagers have also taken a fancy to it which is great because it's not too expensive

A staple in my routine. I use this products a couple of times a week in the shower. The walnut provides a thorough exfoliation with the apricot moisturising. I find I need to be gentle when applying as it can be quite scratching if too much pressure used. When I have small bumps or uneven skin I use this and come out with a face as smooth as a baby's bottom! Definitely recommend.

Nice clean and simple packaging, easy to read and I love that this isn't tested on animals.

The product squeezes out easily and you can see the bits of ground up apricot kernel? (I read the ingredients list but I am still unsure, it might be walnut?). It's good at exfoliating and leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth afterwards but I also find it drying if used too frequently (it says on the tube use 3-4 times a week, this is too much for me; twice a week is ample for my skin). Make sure you use a light touch to exfoliate so you don't damage you skin too much and follow with a good moisturiser.

I used to buy this all the time when I was younger as it was affordable and effective. The scratchy-ness off it makes me concerned for the damage it could be doing to my facial skin so I no longer use it for that purpose. I bought it again recently on a supermarket spend but have used it more as a body scrub. It lasts a long time too so it makes it great value for money.

I tried St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub a while back. St Ives is great for getting a really decent amount of product for an affordable price.

To apply, wet your face then massage the product onto your face and wash it off.

This product gives a nice deep clean. However it can be slightly more abrasive so I would only use it up to twice a week.

I use exfoliators or scrubs all over the body as I use fake tan and exfoliating is part of my pre-tanning routine. Because this apricot scrub has lots of product, it lasts me which is fantastic. On the body its abrasion potential also isn't quite as detrimental.

I would use it again because it's great for pre-tanning. As a face scrub though I would pick something else. It is however good value and it's good you have the option of using it on both the face and body.
