St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub Review

You've probably read this by many other consumers, but I really want to take a minute to tell you how wonderful I think this product is.

I've always had trouble with my skin. First, it's sensitive so I can only use a few products out there. Second, it's acne prone which stinks at 31. And finally, it's dry - a recent addition to the mix. So that's where I am. A pimply, flaky, overly sensitive 30's woman. Ah well.

My great find, though, is St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub. I keep it in my shower and use a little bit each morning. It makes my skin super soft and smooth and really seems to keep the acne and flakiness at bay. In fact, I can really tell a difference on the days I use it and the days I miss because I'm lucky to have time to just get in the shower.

Somewhere along the way my manly husband began using it and now, unfortunately, we go through the tube more quickly. Funny though it is, he's the first one to ask that we restock.

It's a great price - around $4 - and lasts a while. Don't use the knock-off if you can help it. The St. Ives brand uses apricot shells that are all consistent in size and make the scrub easier to use. I've used some substitutes that don't feel or work as well. It's not worth the $1 savings.
