St. Ives Blemish fighting scrub

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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
