Pros

comparable to St. Ives

OCT

2009

I have been using St. Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub for years so why would I be using the Walmart brand? Well, it seems St. Ives changed their design and when I went looking for it I didn't see it on the shelf but I did see Equate's Refreshing Apricot Scrub for $2.97 for a 6 oz tube. The tube is a flip-top and the scrub squeezes out easily.

Anyone that knows me or has read many of my beauty product reviews knows that I love the exfoliates. I have dry skin so I am always taking any opportunity I can to rid myself of it. Like a snake shedding its skin that's what I do.

The scrub is gentle enough for all skin types but it does have the exfoliating beads that you can feel rubbing your face like sandpaper when you wash it. This product claims to be oil free; which amazes me because after I rinse my face off it is so smooth that I swear I have applied an oil-based cleanser.

I'm guessing the scrub is safe to use daily but I don't. I usually wash my face with it whenever I wash my hair. Why? Because I get that sandy exfoliate into my hairline so it's easy to completely rinse it when rinsing my hair.

The package says: Softly exfoliates to reveal smooth, healthy and beautiful skin.

Directions: Moisten face, massage into skin with fingertips and rinse. Avoid contact with eyes. Can cause irritation.

Walmart's website doesn't allow you the capability to copy/paste more than 3 lines of the ingredients on any product so if you want a complete list please go to http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10415198#Ingredients

I have also used this scrub on my feet just to make them feel great. I've been blessed with smooth feet but it's never early to start taking care of them, right?

I stumbled upon it by accident while looking for the St. Ives. It has a smoother feel to it even though it claims to be oil free. I'll probably stick with this if I can find it when I need it ;+)

Thanks for the compliments. So undeserving but the mean a lot anyway.

I've never seen the Equate brand of this. That's great news! I use the St. Ives brand, but this one sounds just as good.

Gigi, you have such a beautiful complexion so I can only imagine what this product does for that beautiful skin. And your haircut! I never thought I'd see the day when you would go short again. It looks great! Can't wait to see what the girls think about Auntie Gigi's new haircut ;+)
