St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

I currently use this face wash once a week and have been using it for the last few months. The beads are quite big and rough which definitely helps with exfoliating but if you use a heavy hand too much it may scratch your skin so be mindful of that. Personally i wouldn't re purchase just because i like my exfoliaters to be a bit less harsh and for the beads to be micro sized, but i just had to try this out as it is insanely cheap and I've heard good reviews from other people. Really i think its all about personal preference with this! Its worth a try!

The packaging is misleading, it insinuates that apricot kernel is the exfoliator, when really it is walnut shells. This product exfoliates very well, but it can be too well. It is not so good for delicate skin and I only used it if I had a very flaky patch which I needed to get rid of. After a month or two, I noticed a bad smell when using it, like mould or fermentation, and I had to throw it out.

This is a good scrub but it is just too harsh for my skin, I find it dries it out which is not good as I already have really dry skin, would be great for oily and normal skin, have switched to Skinfood scrub which suits much better.

As well as smelling amazing and belong extremely affordable ($9-$14) this product really does work. My skin is naturally oily and i have very pimple prone skin. I started using this about 4 months ago and i have definitely noticed a difference! this exfoliation in this product is insane! it feels soo good on my skin and gets ride of any dry and dead skin off my face before bed! i also have rather bad blackeads and this product seemed to reduce my pores and clear my skin. i love it

This scrub is pretty much the only scrub I ever use now because of how much it has improved my skin. My skin now is by no means clearer or poreless but it has definitely helped removed pesky bumps when they show up. I rarely ever have to use spot treatments because if I ever get a spot I will use this face scrub and it will most likely be gone within 3 days. It is a very harsh scrub so be careful not to rub to hard otherwise it could potentially cause damage or redness to appear.

At the beginning I used this after cleansing but have since started using this and then cleansing, reason why is the main exfoliating ingredient is hard to wash away every single little bit, however because you wash it off then cleanse then wash that off you don't get left with the odd escape exfoliate pumice(I think that's what it's called). I have combo-dry skin and this doesn't dry my skin out more which is great

This product has a lovely scent and feel, it exfoliates well without scratching your skin. It's great for sensitive skin and the beads are all natural so there's no damage to the environment.

This is the best face scrub Iv ever used and everyone that I know that has used it says the same thing. Doesn't dry the skin or make it shiny.

I really like this scrub alot! First of all it comes in a squeeze container and I like that because instead of dipping your fingers in to get product out you conveniently squeeze the product out in your hand! The product itself has a creamy, gritty consistency and has a nice, light fruity scent. It rinses off easily and leaves your face super smooth!
