Moyen

Je n'est vraiment aimé ce produit. Je n'aime pas la senteur ni la texture de ce dernier. Les grains restent collés a ta peau après s'être lavé. Laisse un texture collante.

Big grainy texture

At first I found this very good until someone told me to not use such harsh big grainy scrubs. So now I think this product isn't as good as it should be. They should make the grains smaller size. I love the apricot smell it makes my skin feel fresh

Too Abrasive!

This product is waaay too rough on the skin! If you have oily or acne prone skin, this will make it worse. It might be okay to use on the body but definitely not on the face.

Bad.

After using this for three days I broke out in tiny whiteheads EVERYWHERE. The smell and affordability are nice, but it doesn’t suit my skin type well at all

Okay product

This product although is affordable really damaged my skin and made it extremely dry and flaky. I had to over moisturize in order to rehydrate my skin and bring it back to its original state after each use. If you have dry or combination skin use this with caution or avoid it if you can

It's kind of not okay

It's pretty rough for my face so I'd rather use it on rough places on my body and of works fine. Don't recommend scrubbing your face with it though. Buy the green one or one with a less harsh exfoliating factor (should tell you on the back of the tube)

Not good face scrub

This kind of facial scrub will leave microscopic tears in your skin which cause and accelerate the signs of aging. I love exfoliators but this one is a definite no for me

Too harsh. Exasperated skin problems.

While some people might find this scrub beneficial, I found it way too abrasive. It only aggravated my pimples and made my skin really dry which in turn made me very oily. Most dermatologists advise a gentle skin care regime and every since I switched to mild exfoliants (powders or chemical), my skin has been wonderful. It's clear and I wear less make up. The only good things about this scrub are that it's good value and smells nice.

Microtears

I have been using St Ives on my face since I was 15, but in the last 6 months I’ve realized it has contributed to my acne over the years. After doing some research I found the brand’s exfoliants are harsh enough to leave mircotears on the skin, causing more breakouts and acne in the long run. If you’re looking for a great scrub, this is it. It’s moisturizing and scrubs the dead skin off, it’s affordable and smells great.. BUT DO RESEARCH BEFORE. Your skin may be able to handle it but MINE COULD NOT! And I didn’t know for years!

Very harsh on sensitive skin; contains walnut shells

Although labelled as a apricot scrub, this is actually a walnut shell scrub with apricot fruit extract. Walnut shell is very harsh on sensitive skin and it will damage the skin if used every day. The scrub does exfoliate very well, but I found it to be far, far to strong to use on my skin.

I have used this scrub off and on for many, many years and I it was only recently that I clued in that it was what was causing skin issues for me. Once I dropped it and replaced it with a much more gentle exfoliant my skin improved enormously.
