One thing I love is a good face exfoliator and I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed using this one. Normally I would prefer a harsher exfoliator because i feel like gentle ones don't do much for me but the St Ives one has become a quick favourite of mine. I liked that it does not have any intense scent to it which is good for people who are sensitive to strong scents. Even though it is a more gently face scrub, I still felt like it cleaned my face really well and my face always felt fresh afterwards. When I used it as a face mask, it had kind of the same effects as just using it as a face scrub so for future use I will only use it as a face scrub. Over all I think a lot of people will be able to use this just because it is so gentle on the skin which is great for people with sensitive skin and at the same time, it still feels like all the dirt and dead skin is being removed.

This scrub worked well on my oily skin! It claims to moisturise your skin and smooth away dryness so I expected it to make my skin quite greasy. I used it every second day since receiving the product and found it to be very gentle. The scrubby bits are not harsh and the scent of the product was pleasant and not over powering. The scrub washes off quite cleanly and doesn't leave any scrubbys behind. I didn't have any break outs or reactions to the scrub. A little goes a long way as well. I didn't try it out as a mask because I kept forgetting to leave it on! Overall I really enjoyed using this scrub and would definitely repurchase :-)
Tips: I used this scrub on my hands as well to smooth them out :-)
I really enjoyed this product and it reminds me a little of my fave cleanser angels on bare skin by lush. This cleanser is nice and thick, you don't need a lot, just gritty enough to get a bit of scrub going, and my face feels hydrated after. I used it as a cleanser & a quick mask by leaving on for about 5min & it did a good job. The smell is pleasant, and there's plenty of product. The one thing it wasn't the best on was removing mascara, it still left me with a lot of panda eye and I had to remove that with something else. Overall really happy & pleasantly surprised. I'd purchase.
Very surprised with this little product. Comes in a easy to use in shower tube, which is also great for traveling. I found it to be very gentle and even after a two day car trip with the aircon it replenished my skin immediately after use.
The first time I used it as a mask and the instructions were easy to follow. it easily rinsed of and was not abrasive at all. There is a little oatmeal fragrance but nothing overwhelming
Also love the no nasties ingredients which I prefer due to my psoriasis Sometimes abrasive scrubs make my arms flare even if I use it in my face
Tips: Just use sparingly and store cap facing up otherwise it will gather water in the cap
I found this product to be a good all round face scrub, it’s gently on the skin and leaves it feeling fresh and clean. It’s lovely and creamy, for the price you can’t go wrong, definitely recommend.
Tips: Perfect for use in the shower
I have really sensitive dry skin, and I use this once a week. I usually avoid most scrubs as the beads can be quite harsh, leaving it sore, red and stinging, but this one is so gentle and non-irritating on the skin and helps to remove the dry flakes from my skin. It leaves my skin feeling really soft, I really like it! I recommend this to anyone with very sensitive skin.
Tips: It can also be used as a leave on mask for a 5-10mins before rinsing it off!
I used this mostly as a scrub rather than a mask. Found this product to do just what it said it would. It was light and made my skin feel great after.
Since my scrub arrived I've been using it daily, YES IT'S THAT AMAZING!!! I have dry, sensitive skin and tend to stray from exfoliating facial scrubs, in saying that I thought it was an easy to use product with just a small dollop of product and using the tips of your fingers in a circular motion gently massage onto face starting from cheeks and slowly moving outwards , I personally like to leave on my skin for 5 minutes which is just enough time for it to work its magic and allow for the exfoliating beads to dissolve and leave a smooth and refreshing finish then washing up with warm water...
Every use I guarantee my skin felt clean, smooth and completely revitilised and will continue to use the St Ives facial scrub range!!
Tips: allow 5-7 minutes for the scrub mask to sit on skin gently massaging and rinse off with warm water
First of all, the smell - delicious! It smells so creamy and good. It feels amazing on your skin, either as a face scrub or a mask and it really does leave your skin feeling great. Even after the first time I used it, I felt like my skin didn't even need a moisturiser. It's light, gentle and works well. I have always enjoyed St Ives. Products but this is by far my fav, I will definitely be a regular user.
I was actually pleasantly surprised with this product! Of course to start with it has that classic st Ives easy to use packaging, no fuss. I'm often weary of new face products incase I don't like the smell, if it's bad, I just can't handle using it! But this scrub smells totally fine! It's a mild non-offensive smell! I tried it as just a regular scrub and as a mask. I didn't really find much difference when using it as a mask, personally, but I do like it as a scrub. For me it was gentle enough to use daily, it definitely left my skin feeling smooth from exfoliation and very soft - not dry or tight at all, thankfully, it was very moisturizing as well, it made for a good combo! I've got pretty tough skin, but I think it would be nice for sensitive skins for use just a few times a week rather than every day. It was a really nice addition for those nights where I'd been wearing a lot of makeup, I would use it after cleansing my face, especially nice for the "nooks and crannies" like the sides of the nose just to make sure it was super clear of makeup!
Tips: For a really deep scrub, I paired it with my clarisonic and that gave me a really nice result too! Also whatever is left on my hands, I rub onto my elbows or any other areas that could benefit.
