    I want to write this detailed review for anyone who is looking for a new face scrub.

    This is the scrub I used before I started using the Biore Acne Clearing Scrub. This one is just as amazing as the Biore one because it has little scrubby beads that clean away dirt of your face and it is also has a tingly refreshing feeling during and after you use it. I use this in the shower because it is super easy to clean your face and rinse it away. I love the smell of this and how smooth it makes my skin feel. This really helps with acne and blackheads because whenever I use this I notice less acne breakouts and blackheads. The apricot beads in the scrub are not harsh at all but I would recommend only using a little bit of the product to get results. I would also recommend not scrubbing your face so hard when using this too. I find the apricot beads bigger than Biore Acne Scrub and that is why I am telling you , you should use this lightly.

    I do find this very similar to Biore and if you are looking for something a little more affordable this is a great option. I recommend this to anyone with ance and blackhead prone skin because it really does help reduce acne break outs and make your skin super soft.

    You can find this product at your local drugstore, Walmart, Target and some grocery stores. This product is usually on sale for around 3 to 5 dollars.

    Once I finish my Biore Acne Scrub I will definetly be alternating back to this because they both work great.

    St. Ives Apricot scrub is a great way to exfoliate your face. I have very sensitive skin and it doesn't irritate my skin. Your face will be soft and smooth after using it and you'll get a much more clear complextion.

    This stuff is such an effective scrub at an amazing price. If you have sensitive skin it might not be the best option but maybe try not scrubbing so hard in sensitive areas, it also isnt a good idea to use if youre going to have prolonged sun exposure. I have breakouts on my back and this was effective, i found it just as good as the more spendy proactiv scrub. A great tip is to use on legs before you shave for an extra close smooth shave.

    For the price point, it works fairly well. I went one week without it, and my makeup was getting splotchy. Once I used it, it became a lot smoother and easier to glide on.

    Small is good my skin feels fresh after using this product.. cost effective for my budget and lasts a long time seeing as you use such small amounts.

    I have been using this product for years now and it is awesome. I used to have a lot of tiny blackheads, and now I just use this in the shower (scrub very gently) and it works wonderfully. The price is really great if you can compare it to other similar face scrubs. You can usually get this for about $3 on sale and there are coupons out there right now too!

    My husband also uses this, and it doesn't leave any scent so he's happy that he can use it without smelling like an apricot! :) I should note that he used to have terrible breakouts of blackheads and this has really cleared up his skin.

    I actually also use it on my legs too and it helps take the dry skin off in the winter.

    I would highly recommend it; I currently have about 4 bottles in stock since I buy them on sale, and I am sure I will be using it for years to come!

    I have skin allergies and find it hard to get products that don't make my skin react to them. St Ives does this it makes my skin feel great and I get none of the allergies symptoms other facial cleaners give me. I finally have great skin and love the way it makes my face feel.

    This was my favourite face scrub until I realized that it was a bit too irritating. I started using it for my body and love it! I read about hoe scrubs can cause small cuts to the skin which do more harm than good, therefore they should be used only on the body and not on sensitive skin like our face. I would still recommend it, especially for guys who want a good scrub for the beard/face area, just be wary, people with sensitive skin!
    Hope this helped :)
