Everyone wants to have healthy and glowing skin. One of the things you can do to promote healthy looking skin is to exfoliate. One of the products I use for this purpose is St. Ives Apricot Scrub. It's an inexpensive product that you can pick up just about anywhere; drugstore, grocery store or Walmart!... read full review »

Dermatologists and beauty experts agree that skin exfoliation of dead skin cells is an important step to revealing softer, smoother skin.  I tried St. Ives Apricot Scrub because I read many positive reviews about it.  While it does have a few good qualities, it's not the product for me.

There's nothing subtle about this Apricot scrub.  It's not a gentle, soft cleanser with a hint of exfoliating beads.  This stuff works great!   You will find maximum effectiveness with this product.  St. Ives Apricot scrub gets deep in the pores and removes dead skin cells, which brings out smoother, cleaner skin.

St. Ives Apricot scrub has been Dermatologist tested, which makes me feel at ease.  It's been proven to not clog pores and is Vitamin rich.  It has a pleasant, light scent of apricots and although it is a terrific exfoliator, it doesn't feel harsh.  Although you can certainly...

I've tried a lot of other products but this one worked the best for me . When you use it you can feel it working It feels as if it's regenerating your skin . As a mother of 2 I don't have a lot of time to spare this is quick and easy just wash your face in the morning and apply a dime size amount and you'll have fresh soft skin all day .

 This is one product I stand by and use religiously and have recommended it to many of my family and friends. Another great thing is it is very affordable .I hate paying way to much for things that hardly work and this is one product that is really worth it!...

When I first saw St. Ives Apricot Scrub - Gentle on the shelf I though, hey why not.  I'm a big fan of St. Ives and their products have always worked for me in the past. 

The facts:

-Hypo-Allergenic

-Keeps face healthy

-For sensitive skin

-100% natural

-Not tested on animals 

 

What happened: 

The first time I used it nothing really happened.  I figured I was switching face washes and that it would take a few days to see results.  I don't have sensitive skin but I tried this face wash anyways.  After a few uses I started to notice spots on my face were becoming dry and flaky.  I was angsting it...

This exfoliant is a daily staple in my skin care routine, which I've [finally!] gotten down pat.  I used to struggle with breakouts, and easily-scarred pale skin.  I first had to address the cause of the breakouts, which was a hormonal imbalance combined with the dead skin that clogged my pores if I didn't exfoliate enough.  Usually you're advised to exfoliate only a couple of times a week, but I've found that this product is gentle enough to use daily, and that using it daily keeps my skin clear.  I have been using St. Ives for a while and plan to keep using it!  I would recommend that everyone... read full review »

I just love St. Ives Apricot Skin cleansing lotion. It makes your skin feel clean and soft at the same time. I love they way that it removes my makeup and yet it is gentle on my skin. And at the same time I feel that my skin is really clean. Also, my son uses this product and likes the way his skin feels as well. I would recommend St. Ives Apricot skin cleansing lotion to anyone. It is so affordably priced, yet it really gets the job done.

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...

I discovered St. Ives Apricot Scrub the same way many on this board did, by word of mouth.  That ought to let you know how good a product this is.  No need to pay millions of dollars to a celebrity who is going to claim they use this product.  We have hundreds of people with great skin promoting it free of charge.  A couple of people had mentioned exfoliating (and in particular with apricot scrub) when I was in college, but it wasn't until I came across a young woman with gorgeous...and I mean flawlessly gorgeous skin...at a local Bath and Beautyworks store and asked her how she achieved her...

I think that if you haven't tried out this scrub yet, you should get on it! I was somewhat hesitant to try this scrub out at first because my skin is very resiliant, and it usually takes a pretty harsh scrub to get all of the dead skin cells off. But once I tried this stuff, I won't go back to any of those harsh scrubs ever again! Super gentle, yet works sooo well. It makes my skin glow after I use it. I use the one for acne, and it helps to smooth my skin even more. It can dry your skin out, even if it is oily, so be sure to only use this product once or twice a week and to always use a moisturizer...

I do not wear make-up, of any type of creams on my face. But I do suffer from oily skin, that I cannot get rid of. and everytime I change cleaners my face goes on strike and I end up with a face full of grease. But since I started using St. Ives my face has been happy. The beads in the wash help rough away all that grease and guk that is caught on my face. And the rest leaves my face felling smooth, I realized that after using this product for a month that my face felt younger and smoother. I didn't have any breakouts while using it, and there was no dry effect afterwards. I even found out that...

St. Ive's Apricot Scrub is an excellent product. I use it and it exfoliates my skin great. My boyfriend also uses it and he gets the same results. It is also great for combination skin. I tried a generic brand of the scrub and it was no where near as great as the original product. St Ive's is great smelling and the scrub isn't too gritty, abrasive or rough. I've been using St Ive's Apricot  scrub for 7 years now and it hasn't failed me yet!!

I urge anyone using this product to be very careful.  My girlfriend used to use this daily to help clean her face and one of the abrasive particles accidentally got into her eye.  I finally had to take her to an urgent care center and the particle had scratched her cornea and she had to wear an eye patch for 2 days and take eye drops that burned to ease the pain for about a week.

I have used this product and used it on my body excluding my face and loved it.  It really helped with ashy skin, but on my face it was almost painful and dried my face out, even though I have oily skin, it was still a little too much.  I have a relative whom is an african american and has a problem with ashy skin and she swears by it.  She uses it daily.

I love St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub-Acne Formula. I have been using this product for years and have very clear, smooth, soft skin. I believe the exfoliating properties have helped keep the wrinkles from appearing. I am teaching my children to use this product to keep their skin clear.
