This has been around for quite some time and they have changed the exfoliating granule thickness when it first came out it was very harsh and scratchy - the type that would be good to use on body and feet i think it is not so harsh now. used it as a teen it bought out the imperfections so as to make it worse before it got better and cleaned my pores well. I always had bad acne and oily skin so this was good but after using i had red skin from the scrubbing action. It did not smell great either but all in all a good exfoliating product. Packaging has changed too the acid I do not think was always in the product good to know it is now though as that is known for fhelping with acne.

Reviews
I love this scrub and is a must have in my bathroom. I don't particularly love the smell of it but it's not at all bad. What I love about it is how gritty it is and you can really feel it working on your face and removing any dry dead skin, it leaves your face so soft and smooth. But in saying that I only use it every second shower as it is quite harsh. The product states that it gently helps prevent breakouts but I wouldn't call this a gentle product as it is very gritty but that is what I like about it but if you are looking for a gentle product, this isn't it. I also like to use this if I have any faded fake tan that I want to get rid of on my body, work great with the exfoliating gloves.
Tips: Not a scrub to use every day.
I love this scrub and have been using it for years. I love how clean it makes your skin feel. I use it every couple of days and use the st ives fresh skin scrub thats less harsh on the other days. The harshness of this apricot scrub is great for really cleaning out the skin and pores of all the dirt and makeup that gets clogged. Its a really great scrub that leaves the skin feeling fresh and soft.
This is an amazing product! My mum had it in the shower constantly and I decided to try it out. It works fine and it gets rid of the blemishes and acne. It does have a weird feeling to it but it's worth it. If you're looking for a good face cleanser then I suggest this one :)
For years iv been trying every face wash/scrub I can get my hands on and this is the only face scrub that I can use everyday that does not make my skin dry. Leaves my face feeling so soft like a baby's bum! Helps with removing makeup also x
My mom introduced me to this product and have been using it since then. And now my daughter uses it too.I tend to purchase newer brands from time to time but there is just no comparison. It just has to be part of your beauty regime. Does the job well. Doesn't leave the skin dry.
Tips: Also good for once a month underarm scrub to remove deodorant residue/build-up.
This product was recommended to me by a family member after I struggled with acne and blemishes for years. I have found this product lives up to its reputation. WHen I start my facial ritual in the evening I open this packet and travel to my happy place. The smell is fantastic, but subtle enough to not over power. The product consistency is just right to work with, meaning I can spend my time giving myself a good massage and not worrying about getting the product to those hard to reach crevasses. I have incredibly dry skin and I find this product is fantastic at moisturizing my skin and helping me to maintain the balance and healthy skin. I love this product and buy it everytime.
Tips: This product is great for dry sensitive skin. Believe the reviews and spend a little bit more. You will see that this product is consistently loved by all!!!
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.
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!
I love this scrub 100 times better than the other scrub St Ives produces. It is less harsh on the skin and I find that I get better results from it. Leaves my skin feeling a lot smoother and acts as a great exfoliant with out being too harsh on the skin
