St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub Review

This scrub does exfoliate. I'll give it that. I used it for years once or twice a week and it helps to smooth your skin. But the grains it uses to exfoliate are crushed apricot pits which are tiny but can be quite sharp and jagged. You don't feel it when you're using them but it can cause "micro-tears" in the surface of your skin and in the long run isn't great for you! I found this out after reading about the scrub once I noticed it wasn't doing anything about my redness on my face... in fact it was making it worse, and that's why!

I have used this for years now. I have tried all sorts of other brands and scrubs but I always come back to this one. Excellent texture, smells great and always leaves my skin feeling smooth and refreshed.Great pick me up for your skin especially if your feeling a bit blah.

I have used this for 5 years and never looked back orused anything else. I had such problems with my skin and then started a cetaphil routine and added this into the mix! The consistency is just right, it does not have a strong scent and is perfect for use in the shower, or for a more rough clean I use it out of the shower too. So you can do a few things with it. I love it so much my partner even got me two bottles of it for christmas! Highly recommend

This is a great exfoliator. It is quite thorough though so you wouldn't need to use more than once or twice a week. It can be quite harsh so don't scrub too hard. I also found this product is great for use on the backs of your hands as well to keep them super smooth.

This product I brought from new world. It has a nice scent. It opens my pores and scrubs all the dead skin and dirt in my pores. Leaving my face and neck smooth and oil free for a little while. However after continuing with product it made my face become red. Once learning to use it only twice a week on my face it has helped with my skin.

This product is great value for money. It smells lovely and feels really natural. Although not my favourite scrub, it’s my go to when I need to reign in my spending. The scrub can be tough on your skin because it’s a little on the course side, so I would recommend applying gently so you’re not too harsh on your skin.

I know some of my friends love this product as they find it makes there face feel clean & smooth, & I'd have to agree with that it definitely does, however I find it a bit too harsh & when using it I really do feel like its scrubbing my skin away not a great feeling, so personally wouldn't use this again

I love how chunky this exfoliater is and it smells really good. I started using this when I was on acne medication and it really helped clear up my skin also it didn't dry me out which was really important when I was on the medication. Also such good value for money.

I have used this exfoliator for years and after trying new products I always come back to it. I find I only need to use it a few times a week and in the winter when my skin gets particularly dry I don't use it as often. It feels so refreshing!

I have been using st ives since puberty. And recently purchased this and I applied in the shower waiting for it to do its thing i read the back and read Warning stay out of the sun this product makes you sensitive to sun burning which = skin aging.
