I am amazed that this is ranked 13 out of a couple hundred in Facial Scrubs. I used to use this when I was a teenager and stopped because it was way too abrasive and scratched my skin. Any acne I had actually got worse and it got inflamed. My face was red and sore. It smelled good though and it felt moisturizing to the hands, but I would use this for a hand defoliant maybe? not for my face or body.

I am so upset about this one product from St Ives.

I used to use this 20 years ago. It was all the rage, but little did I know that the walnut was scratching my face. It is way too rough on the skin. We did stuff at Hair School with the girls in the Cosmotiton side of the school, and looked at our skin under certain light and magnifying tool. It is amazing all the marks and fine lines caused my so many of the so called exfoliates out there.

If your gonna use an exfoliate, make sure it has round beads, like jojoba.

I do NOT recommend using this.

I must have seriously sensitive skin, because I absolutely cannot use this product. I remember trying it out when I was first getting into beauty ages ago, and it made my pre-pubescent acne so much worse, so I swore it off for life... until I found it at Walmart last week and decided "what the hey, I'll give it another go." Holy was I ever wrong; my face is absolutely rebelling against this stuff.

It cleans my skin well, and it smells really good, but the next day I ended up with a war on my face. I haven't had acne this bad in years! It's like my pores went into overdrive.

Needless to say I passed it along to my mom, and I will not make the same mistake again!

I have used it many times, for many years. I have been prone to acne my whole life. This product smells amazing, but I do find it quite abrasive. Its easy to scrub too hard and end up hurting my face. I loved the tight skin feeling after, but it's one of them, if u stop using it,your skin gets worse type things

I wouldn't buy this again... I bought it at Walmart a couple weeks ago and it makes my face hurt after... I just gentle scrubbed and my face was sore for about 2 days. I threw it out. I will not buy it again.

Je n'est vraiment pas aimé ce produit. Dans mon cas, ma peu est devenu plus sèche qu'elle ne l'étais déjà.. il n'a pas du tout aidé a enlever les peaux mortes. Les prmière semaine a la suite de l'ouverture du pot, le produit sent très bon ... mais apres quelques semaines ils sent affreusement mauvais, sa sent comme les produits chimique.

It was to ruff for my skin. I felt like I put a sandpaper on my face.

I ended up using it on my body.

He smell was off da chain but I couldn't use it on my face.

No, no, no, no! I cannot for the life of me understand why people like this products. This apricot scrub is a type of mechanical exfoliant, meaning it physically removes impurities from the skin. Mechanical exfoliants are great at taking care of skin issues at the outer surface, but they don't help if you have clogged pores. I am ok with this fact since not every one has clogged pores, but I cannot get behind this scrub because it is way too harsh for the skin. Exfoliation still needs to be gentle on the skin, and that is definitely not the case when you are scrubbing this product with walnut shells against your face. It is far too harsh and causes microtears to your skin. I think people use this one time and think it's a great product since it may appear to help initially, but the key to beautiful skin is continued use of quality products.

This product smells great but thats pretty much the only good thing I have to say about it. It is way to abrasive, this product is very harsh for the skin and didn't do anything to help with my breakouts. It actually was making it worst since my skin was reacting by making more sebum to 'protect' from the product's effects.

I'm not really s huge fan of St. Ives products in general except the mud masks. I find to get really good exfoliation you need very small exfoliating bits - these beads /walnuts are too big and therefore sharp on your skin. I'm really into skincare now that I'm in my 30's cause guess what? You can't start over once you've had damage (sun or otherwise). Although this product is cheap, in skincare I think this is where you should splurge if nowhere else. I don't like this product personally - I don't think it works well. Exfoliating bits should be super fine. The sMell is just ok. I'd use this on my elbows and knees again but not my face.
