(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is the first scrub I tried, and not having other options in local stores, I used used only this scrub for years before finding another option. This St. Ives apricot scrub is slightly on the harsh side, and I find that the beads wash off with some effort. Whenever I used it, my skin would be sensitive. This might be better-suited for non-sensitive skin with little or no blemishes. The other scrub I used worked much better, had a better value and smelled better.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) For me, and many others, this was the first kind of exfoliating product incorporated into my routine. I have used this on and off for about ten years and have used the different varieties (this one has salicylic acid) and the normal variety. I don't mind this one, and you can definitely feel that it has SA in it because it stings a little more than the normal version, but other than that the differences are indistinguishable. I use this about once or twice a week to keep dry skin at bay, since it helps my makeup stay on much better when I have soft skin underneath instead of flakes and patches. I wish the overall texture was a bit finer and denser, like a sugar scrub, but for the price you really can't beat this option.

first time with st. ives
for 2 years ive experiened lots of break outs. there wasnt a day without atleast 2 pimples on my face, and being someone like this i keep searching for products that can help me, i try out products for atleast 2 weeks to tell if its really working or not, then i saw this scrub online(it wasnt availble in my country) i tried it and ive been pimple free for almost a year now, its not magic, i still get pimples especially during my period but it definitely helped me a lot, now im just worrying about how to get rid of my pimple marks. its not for everyones skin type sure but it definitely is for me. i used this almost everyday before and now its down to 2-3 times a week since i dont have anymore pimples and im just trying to finish the bottle (which is big and affordable by the way).

Excellent
I just came across this product recently and I won't buy anything else! I suffer from cystic acne and I haven't had a break out the few weeks I've been using it . I love the exfoliate. I love that it is made with walnut shell powder. Plus it smells really good!

A bit harsh
On the bottle it says this should be used twice a day, but I wouldn't even recommend using it every day because it's quite a harsh scrub which could make your skin worst from the over used. Other than that, it's a really great product!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) Although I am all for 100% natural products, I really love this facial scrub! It does a really great job cleaning while not irritating my sensitive skin! I love that it doesn't have a high perfume smell.. My face is just left clean and surprisingly soft! It gives my skin a nice glow too! I have also used it when I have acne (not very often) and it almost immediately clears it up! Love this stuff and would highly recommend it!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is a great face scrub with exfoliation. Me and my teen children use this product and it leaves our skin refreshed and clean. I love the gentle exfoliation and my children love the acne fighting part. This product also comes as just a scrub without the acne medication which is more suitable for non acne prone skin. Scrubs away the old dead cells leaving a clean soft refreshed face. This is in our list of must haves at home.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is my favorite face scrub. I use it for a few days a month to keep hormonal breakouts under control and it does a pretty good job. I leave it on for about a minute, the rub for another minute, then let it sit for a final minute to let the active ingredients have a chance to work. <br />
<br />
I have very sensitive skin, this has never caused me any issue. I will keep buying this as long as st ives keeps making it!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love the scent of this product. It does do the job of cleansing the skin and removing dead cells, but on the down side, it leaves my face feels overly dry in some areas, so I end up needing mositurizer, which I don't like to use often, so I rarely use this scrub, one tube usually lasts me over a year, because I use it maybe once a month, if that. On the plus side though, i rarely get acne anymore.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I've been using this apricot scrub for years, and I think it works well. One caution is that if you have sensitive skin, it might be a little too irritating/rough. I think they changed the formulation to make the apricot exfoliant pieces smaller (they used to be a lot bigger, years ago), which is a great change. But if you have easily irritated skin, try an exfoliator with micro-beads!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) As an acne sufferer I am always looking for a product that will help with it. After using this product for a few weeks i have noticed a tremendous improvement in my skin. After every use my skin feels so fresh and clean. This product also smells amazing which is a plus for me...who wants to use a product that doesn't smell great. The quality and quantity for the price is great.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I really like the smell of this and the way it exfoliates your skin, some people might find it a bit rough but I enjoy it. My mom has used this as long as I can remember because I used to steal it from her when I was younger. I actually bought her the big jar of it for Christmas. I would definitely buy it again in the future when I run out of some of the samples I have.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) St. Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish & Blackhead Control is excellent for exfoliating without irritating even the most sensitive skin. We all started using it once a week now. Ladies - it really does wonder on your arms and your legs! If you use it before shaving, you get such a smooth shave - amazing! Lovely fragrance and the price is always right with St. Ives products.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is my go-to exfoliating face scrub! I love the size of the beads, and that you really feel like you're getting a deep clean, without rubbing off a layer of skin!<br />
The smell is great - i can't stand products with an off-putting smell, it completely turns me off from using it. I actually find myself just smelling this one randomly!<br />
Will always use this :)

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I used to use this all the time. I did notice I didn't break out a whole lot when I was using it. The only thing that I found wrong with this is that it is pretty rough and you need to be extra gentle when using it. I liked to use this to exfoliate my body because it makes you feel so clean. It does dry you out a little bit, but not extremely. I would recommend this

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This facial scrub holds up to its claims of effectiveness. It works wonders on my skin, gently removing impurities and excessive oil, and leaving me with a squeaky clean sensation to savour. The scent isn't overwhelming which is probably a good thing for most users, but I do love the scent of apricots so I would love it even more if the scent were stronger!

It was ok
Face wash was okay. I changed my original brand to this one because I heard it worked miracles. Sadly, I was disappointed because in the end it didn't do what it was supposed to do, and it clogged my skin more. I'm not saying it won't work for anyone else, by all means it might. Just don't have high hopes. It didn't dry out my skin as much as other brands, but it made my skin more irritated after each wash.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I know this is for the face but I actually use it on my back (as I get the occasional breakout back there). You can't beat the price and it works sooo good. The best product I have ever tried. I find body washes tend to dry me out and then, more oil production = more acne (grr). This scrub leaves the moisture in while exfoliating and my skin feels soft.

I have been using it as a body scrub and loving it. I love the smell and how it makes my skin feel soft. I have shared it with family members when they visit and all have the same reaction they also love it.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have been using this product for far too many years for me to remember and, now my kids are using it too. Good for any skin type and works very effectively. The smell is great and the thickness is just right. Which means that a little goes a long long way. My skin is glowing after I use it and I can use it everyday and sometimes twice a day.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I've used the St. Ives Apricot facial scrub in various forms, off & on for well over a decade or more now. I'd say it is very effective for it's very reasonable price point, and has always worked well for me regardless of what age/stage of life I have been (I am currently 42). An easy go-to every now and then for some affordable exfoliation!

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I really like St. Ives products but I found this scrub to be a little too rough on my skin. I have really dry, yet sensitive skin so this product did not work well for me. It exfoliated my skin a little too much and let it become more susceptible to dryness. I think people who have oilier or normal skin would find it works better for them.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have been using the #StIves blemish control apricot facial scrub since I was a teenager! I find this scrub gentle but very effective in exfoliating my skin to remove dirt and debris that would and could otherwise turn into a pimple. The ingredients are easily understood and I'm not allergic to any of it. Priced great! Will buy again.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I tried using this so many times, especially when I was in high school. For my sensitive skin this facial scrub was way to harsh The beads in it are very abrasive, leaving my skin feeling irritated and red, and very dry. I already have pretty dry skin and this just completely dried it out to the point of flakes. I was no impressed.

THEE. HOLY. GRAIL.
I have been using St. Ive's since I was 15 years old (I am 25). I remember the first time trying this product as a teenager & since then I have been an advocate for St. Ive's especially this specific product. It not only has a lovely scent, but you feel it working as you use it -remember to only massage softly, the product already has granules in it so it does the scrub work for you. I use St. Ive's Apricot Scrub once or twice a week in order to manage my skin's pores & blackheads, but not too often in order to maintain my skin's natural balance of oils. Definitely use this product with the Timeless Skin Mineral Clay Firming Mask and then the Fresh Skin Collagen Elastin Moisturizer, they are a fantastic trio. I more than recommend this product and honestly would not know what to do if it was no longer available. Thank you St. Ive's and please continue to care about your customers and the environment.

(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is a classic, it's the first scrub i ever used on my skin, and everyone i know swears by it. It dries out pimples quickly, and can tend to leave your face feeling a little tight afterwards so use with moisturizer. I can think of many go tos besides this for facial scrub. Tried and tested, its amazing through and through

The best facial scrub!
(This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I first started using this product when I had troublesome acne-prone skin, and within a month it had completely transformed my skin! I no longer have issues with blemishes and an uneven tone and surface. The deep exfoliating effect feels amazing on the face, leaving skin feeling smooth and extremely clean. Love this scrub â¤ï¸

My husband gets me "new and improved " scrubs in my stocking at Christmas, but I always go back to St. Ives blemish control apricot facial scrub every time. Why not use the one that works best?
