I have been using this product for the past year and LOVE it. I use it every day without it being to harsh on my skin. It helps to prevent my face from breaking out and I now only get the odd pimple. It has also helped with my blackheads. Such a great scrub for daily or weekly use!

The juicy apricot smell is the first thing that sucked me I to this, I found it was perfect for exfoliating every fortnight or so, but after a whole found that my face was getting super sensitive and red, which is turn was because the gritty texture was causing micro tears in my skin! The salicylic acid always clears my breakouts in a jiffy but just beware if you're sensitive to rough textures.
Tips: As it is very gritty, just lightly massage the product in, no need to press it right in as it can be damaging. I often use it on my ankles to remove fake tan!
This scrub smells so yummy and leaves your skin feeling so soft.
Pro's: Great exfoliating, lovely smell, feels exotic
Cons: Leaves skin rather dry! Not SLS free and cruelty free.
This is my go to face wash,I have really oily skin and get alot breakouts and blackheads and using this helps to keep it under control, it doesn't eliminate but totally helps. i use it every second day to keep from drying my skin too much as its quite a heavy scrub
I have a love hate relationship with St Ives products. They make my face feel so smooth and clean and fresh but after using it a few times it can make my face extremely dry like its been over-ex-foliated. Because i had already brought it, and didn't want it to go to waste, so i started using it as a body scrub and it worked much better this way.
Tips: If your going to use it as a face wash, only use it around once a week otherwise it can seriously damage your face and leave it extremely dry. Or just use as a body scrub!
this product is amazing I had doubts about trying it, but im glad I brought i,t it really does smell like apricots and the exfoliating factor is amazing ive never felt one so strong, I have no doubts now for its works amazingly good
I love almost everything about this face wash! The packaging is nice, and it is easy to get out of the packet and apply to my face. It is a brand that I definitely love and trust (I have been using their products for years, and have never had an issue or a bad reaction). It smells delicious (like. seriously. YUM). And I definitely get nicer skin/fewer blemishes when I use it.
The only downside for me is that the exfoliant aspect of is can be too strong for everyday use on my sensitive skin. So I usually use it three days on, one day off.
Tips: It you have really sensitive skin then maybe don't use it every day (take a day or two off from it a week). Other than that is is a very straightforward (and brilliant) product.
the smell of this scrub is amazing however the beads in this were to hard and actually hurt my face when i used this. i also noticed that when i had active blemishes it was making them bleed and obviously spreading the bacteria around my face. for myself i found that this product was not suited at all to active blemishes on the face
I used to have really bad scars from past pimples, and as a teenager that can be very annoying, I did not have time to always apply concealer and would sometimes have to leave the house with a bare face which made me very self conscious. I started using this product and it made my older scars fade and any new pimples were gone in a span of two days. I found this good and for the price is worked really well.
Tips: My friend used the same thing but it did not work the same for her, so depending on your skin type it may work differently
This review is for St Ives Blemish fighting green tea extract which is similar to the apricot but its more gentle. I havent found a topic for the green tea but because its quite close together so i would recommend using the green tea instead of apricot scrub if you find its too harsh. The sense is pleasant and the beads are amazing, its very tiny and gentle but you still can feel it, really nice and clean after wash. Nothing to complain about, love it.
Tips: Dont press, just gently massage it all over your face to avoid damaging your skin.
