St. Ives Oatmeal Face Scrub and Mask Review

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.

I have to start by saying I didn't have high hopes for this product as I usually prefer a strong scrub like the Exfoliating scrub by Clinique. I also like fine microbeads and didn't think this gentle scrub would do the trick. I was pleasantly surprised. First tried it on my hand and liked the thickish consistency as well as the size of the beads which were finer than I anticipated. The product has a nice clean oaty smell - definite plus. Price is very good, so affordable. Packaging practical and works well in the shower. My skin felt clean after using it to exfoliate - was not irritated and I definitely noticed a more glowing complexion. Personally I don't like using masks much, and cannot say I felt using it as a mask did much for my skin. All and all I think it is a good product to complement cleansing and I love the shiny, clean face I had after using the product. Will recommend and will be happy to buy again.

Wow!! This product is such a wonder to use. After the first time using St. Ives Oatmeal Face Scrub and Mask I not only fell in love with it but my skin felt amazing and soft... I have used it both as a facial scrub and mask and prefer to use it as my daily mask in the shower every morning. The St. Ives Oatmeal Face Scrub and Mask helps me wake up fully and be ready for whatever the day throws at me. Really enjoy using this and think i have found my new facial mask, and not only that the smell of it with the mixture of oatmeal, honey and walnuts are to die for..

I really liked this product it is so gentle on your skin. I love the fact that you can leave on for extra 5-7 Minutes to become a mask. My skin was left feeling soft and hydrated. This product would be perfect for someone with sensitive skin and like myself I find it hard to find Products for that skin type I love the fact it is easy to apply and also smells amazing what more can you ask for I 100% recommend this product and will continue to use this.

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 :-)

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

St Ives Oatmeal scrub & mask is a lovely creamy natural product. Its got only natural exfoliators so no nasty plastic in it to pollute our waters. This scrub promises to be very gentle and leaving skin soft which it certainly does, it's very creamy and smells divine - primarily of honey. This is hypoallergenic & dermatologist tested which is important for me as I have extremely sensitive skin and it didn't irritate me at all which is so good as lots of 'natural' products do end up irritating me for some reason.

I love that the scrub pieces are natural, as I try to avoid buying scrubs with plastic in them. Works well as a scrub and good as a mask. I scrubbed in the shower after leaving it on for 5 or so minutes while washing my hair which worked well. I liked that it is multi tasking and great in the shower to get a few things done at once. Nice soft fragrance. I would purchase this again.

I had been suffering lately from my combination skin keeping parts of my face oily for too long and having minor breakouts and then the edges of my cheeks and chin being so dry that you look too closely you will see camels tracking across the vastness.

This oatmeal scrub has done wonders, used as a scrub it laters up on your face as you make circles on your skin with damp fingers and allow the gritty particles to really purge clean. Once rinsed with warm water my skin does have a blotchy red hue but it quickly dies away to an even complexion. After a week of use my breakouts were gone and my dry areas were more easily controlled.

Used it as a quick mask one morning, by simply not washing off whilst I put on a load of washing and ran a bath, it easily washed away and didn't do anything extra that would warrant me leaving it on for long periods again.
