St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

Love it, I am forever trying out new scrubs but always end up going back to this one, my face gets a harsh texture if I use an ordinary face wash, its always so smooth after I use this product, never drys my skin out, it gives me the perfect base to apply makeup to :-)

I used this daily for a number of weeks when my skin was at it's worst, it was a little harsh on the skin but didn't dry mine out like most products, it was pleasant smelling and left my skin feeling really clean. It also worked well during pregnancy when my skin was quite sensitive.

I used this product for a long time and at the time was very happy with it. I think it is a great product and really does exfoliate your face. Leaving with absolutely no dirt or dry skin. Can be very harsh on skin though and after using everyday i think it really should be used a couple times a week so that you can give your face a break from the harsh texture. It is fragrant and comes across as very natural. I think it would work best if used with a gentle face cleanser so that it can work well with your skin.

Love the texture of the scrub for a body scrub and has a subtle smell, more almond scent with a hint of apricot. I find it too rough to use on my face, and needs a lot of water to wash off, however using it as a body scrub, it works wonders on my back and chest. Leave skin feeling clean and fresh. Product has a large opening, with a squishy bottle so easy to dispense - works well on a body puff or massaging into skin. I use it once week and enjoy great results on my back and chest, often these areas for me are sensitive to product, but no issues, have been using product regularly.

My partner uses this every day to wash his face however, I find it a little too rough and prefer something that cleanses and cleans out the poors than something that doesn't feel like its washing your skin. It is especially important to avoid using this too often on your cheeks as the harshness of it can harm pores and the elasticity of your skin which can result in being more prone to wrinkles

This is a necessity in my daily personal hygiene care haha - If I don't use this for a few days, my skin starts to show signs of blackheads and spots. I have been using this for about 5-6 years now and will be for many more whilst recommending my friends to use this product.

I love this scrub it leaves my skin feeling so smooth and refreshed. I have used other scrubs but none that leave my skin feeling so good. For people with delicate skin I would recommend using it every few days as it is quite a rough scrub but that is what I love best about it. It take away any old skin and dirt out of my pours leaving me with a refreshed face.

I love this product. I find it is effective, but also gentle enough on my skin. The scent is nice, not too over powering. It leaves my skin feeling soft and gets rid of any flakiness. I will definitely use this again.

This scrub has made my life easier. I have been using this for over a year now, and can safely say my skin feels ever so smooth and blemish free.

One would think, with such exfoliation it might leave the skin dry but you sure will be amazed but the results once you try it. The granules help remove black heads by cleansing the pores and also remove dead skin, however the moisture is attained by the creamy-ness of the product.

Now there are loads of comments on it being too harsh for your skin and that can be the case; if over used. Twice or three times a week would the the adequate amount of usage for all skin types. A huge recommendation from me would be to combine this beautiful scrub with a toner (with will neutralise the skin) and a rich moisturiser to restore the skin.

I used this product twice and am really against it, its far too rough for skin on the face, it made my skin very itchy and very red, I was only using light circular hand motions. When I started beauty school it was the first product we were told to avoid!
