St. Ives Blemish Control Scrub Review

When I was requested to do a product review I was quite worried about the salicylic acid. The skin on my face is highly sensitive. It is usually combination but lately it has been quite oily.

I used this product every second night following the instructions on the back of the product. i 'scrubbed' my face gently for about 1 minute before rinsing it off. It left my skin feeling smooth and clean. It has been helping combat small acne areas around my chin and jawline After about 2-3 uses I noticed a difference in the amount of acne on my face.

The smell is definitely apricot with hints of a creamy moisturiser smell which is quite pleasant.

I have never really been a fan of face scrubs as it usually dries my skin out far too much and cause my face to feel a burning sensation when applied and cause my face to become bright red after washing off. This apricot scrub was amazing. I had a slight red tinge to my face which I think Is normal after using a scrub product.

At 150mls this would last a long time as I only used between a teaspoon and tablespoon of product each time.

I have already recommended this product to some family and friends and will definitely be buying more after this has run out.

I have been using this scrub for many many years, definitely my favourite product to exfoliate my face. I have quite sensitive skin but this scrub has never caused a reaction, only thing is which is a problem I have with a lot of exfoliators is that sometimes my nose isn't as smooth as I used to be able to get it, I just follow up with a cleanser to solve this. The formula is quite gritty so try not to scrub too hard! A pleasant smell which is quite fruity though I cant' pinpoint exact scent. The packaging is practical and easily identifiable, easy to cut open to get the last little bits if you haven't had time to repurchase. The scrub is affordable and lasts for ages, considering 2-3 of us use multiple times a week it always surprises me how long it lasts which is great for the price which you can pick up on special at the supermarket or The Warehouse. Love this product!

I keep going back to this scrub! I’m forever trying others but they either dry my skin out or my skin goes bright red or they just don’t do much. This keeps my blackheads and bumps under control but doesn’t make my skin flaky and patchy. Quite a mild scent which thankfully doesn’t smell particularly like apricot as the name might suggest!

Before reviewing this product i had already heard good review regarding the scrub. I do suffer from break outs most of the time and i can defiantly see after a week these have decreased. The scrub does feel gentle on your skin and did not react with mine at all, sometimes my skin can be sensitive to products. I will defiantly keep using this product and my partner also tried it as he gets the odd break out and he also enjoyed it and saw it did help his skin

I've been using this for a year. It does the job in blemish control. I had breakouts at first because I was not using it properly but now the product is suiting my skin well. Be careful in using it, wash your face with it ONCE A WEEK.

I love the way my skin felt after using this scrub for the first time. I've been using this every second night since receiving this product to trial. My skin seems to like it. I often find I react to most scrubs. But this is gentle. I love the way my skin feels after using it. So smooth and fresh feeling. Ive also been having a few hormonal breakouts and its helped so much with this. So pleased to finally find something I can use on the regular. It also smells great and is an affordable option. Can't fault this product.

This is good value for money and it will last a long time. The packaging is pretty basic and not all that appealing. However the product itself was really nice to use. It left my skin feeling reall good! I could feel it working and i love how clean, soft and smooth my skin felt after using it.

I have very sensitive skin which is quite picky when it comes to skin care products so I generally stick to the same ones. I had seen this instore for a while and always wanted to try it because of the yummy apricot smell but never grabbed it because I had one that worked and didn't want to risk it.

I was lucky enough to get this to trial and my skin actually loves it! I do only use it once every two days as this is what it says because it is quite a 'harsh' exfoliant. Usually I would use this sort of product everyday but this is still working for me.

You only need a dollop for it to lather over your whole face. I like to scrub it in for a bit and then leave it for a minute or so. This leaves my skin feeling almost moisturised and super soft when I take it off.

I find it is also good at removing any excess makeup left on my face.

I really do like this, so does my skin. I think the price is pretty reasonable so I probably will repurchase once I run out!

Decided to give it a go as it was on special... very gentle smell, the granules are fine and seem to make a great exfoliant as my face feels pretty good after using it.
