I used to use this product religiously as a part of my daily regime. But be wary of two things: a) it can be rather harsh on your skin. In fact, there is a lawsuit right now claiming that not only does it remove dead skin cells but it also damages your skin cell's ability to regenerate. (b) Province of Ontario is looking to ban beads and exfoliates like this to reduce its environmental impact.

Definitely would say, it is a little rough, like rubbing cream and sand on your face, although it smells great and is highly affordable. But i would recommend using an exfoliate that feels more gentle on your skin as a precaution for long-term ramifications.

This product works and need your face feeling good if you don't grind it into your skin too hard because I did find irritation from it I just find the smell is gross I must not like apricot but I probably wouldn't buy it again

I used to use this as a teenager and into my early 20s because I didn't know any better and it was cheap. It is REALLY harsh and abrasive when used as a facial scrub... that being said it is great for feet, elbows, and knees!

I bought a little bottle of the St Ives fresh skin apricot exfoliating facial scrub and it really surprised me how well it worked on my skin. It has a nice aroma and leaves a fresh feeling and a radiant look.

I have tried this product several times since being a teenager and each time it inevitably makes my skin SO dry. I have currently have normal to dry skin so I avoid buying this product, but when I first starting using it at 16 years old (I am 22 now) I did not have dry skin, rather more on the oily side and it still would make my skin so dry that most moisturizers wouldn't do justice for this. I thought that I would give it another try because it was on sale, and yet again dry skin. It does do the job however cleansing your skin. The only thing I can say is that if you have skin on the oily side then it may be a match for you, but definitely chose another product if you have dry skin already!!

I used to love exfoliating my face with this product and it was a crazy good price, but Ive since found out that it does more bad than good for your face. The grits inside are too harsh on the face and end up hurting it. A face specialist told me its like using sand paper on your face, no good.

I have really sensitive skin and have been trying to find a good scrub for years. I like a good scrub, but the abrasiveness of the products I have tried make my skin red and blotchy. Unfortunately, this one did the same. I guess I will just have to stick with cleansers until I can find a more sensitive scrub.

I dont believe in this stuff... the beads are SO rough that if you have skin which is sensitive or with eczema, then this is NOT FOR YOU!

I believe this is for normal skin, without any problems, or problem areas - its meant to take the dirt away from the day and thats it. My boyfriend uses this on a nightly basis (the one with SA in it) and it seems to work for him on and off... however, I think if you make a personal scrub based on your skins need is much better than this stuff!

I really liked the smell of the product and I also loved that I felt like it was really getting rid of dead skin. I did find it too harsh for my skin. The product makes my skin worse . I broke out so much.

I love scrubs, but with sensitive skin, this produce always makes my skin red afterwards. Although I feel it is effective in really getting my skin smooth again, I end up having to use more foundation to hide the redness.
