I personally do not like this product because I dont feel very exfoliated after using it,,, It doesn't have a nice feel on your hands when using it, the beads are too sparse for my liking and the texture of the product is weak... I have used one exfoliant for most of my adult life and would not change it . This product I would recommend for young girls pre - puberty for example, because they are just getting started to learn face care and it wouldn't be too abrasive for them.

Yeah, if I'm looking to do a Spa Night at my place when I don't have a date, I may use this stuff. And wallow in self depreciation and self pity while I sip red wine.

I use to use this product once or twice a week to exfoliate before being told it was too harsh on my skin by a dermatologist. When I was using it though I didn't have any problems. I mean, it didn't work miracles or anything, but it did help to make my skin feel softer. As far as over-the-counter store brands go, I'd use it.

I've used this for years and I think it does do a good jobs of cleaning pores but it could be better. I feel like it could be stronger. It tells you to massage for 1 min and I always feel like my skin is being sanded off so I just rub til I think its good.

It's a good cleanser (gets your face clean and soft) BUT the crushed apricot seed in it makes little cuts on your face that aren't visible to the naked eye.
It broke me out and I think it's because the apricot seed was irritating my skin as much as it was cutting it.

This is a good product if you aren't looking to really have a hard scrub. The granules aren't that big but it still leaves your skin feeling fresh and clean. The large jar is really worth the price and lasts a long time.

If you're looking for a great price, st.ives apricot scrub will fit the bill. however i've found it's waaaaaaay to harsh for my poor, sensitive skin! if you're looking for a scrub, use your HG cleanser and add a teaspoon of sugar to it. I find it works just as well, and isnt as harsh!

This product contains crushed apricot seed shells, which are extremely jagged and sharp. They also leave microscopic tears in the skin. I definitely would NOT use this on my face or body for any reason whatsoever. Yes, it's a cheap product. There's a reason for that. They use the leftover apricot seed shells from other industries and use them in this. So essentially, they're using a waste product that would otherwise be thrown in the garbage or incinerated in your skin care product. Nice. Sure, it might be effective now. But can you imagine what your skin is going to look like after tearing it up day after day with this stuff, year after year?? Hell no, not for me. This is right up there with scrubbing your face with a handful of beach sand. I think we all know what THAT feels like if we get it in the wrong place and it rubs our skin off.

I tried this stuff quite a few years ago, before I knew the facts about apricot scrubs (and the same goes for all of them, no matter what brand), and found that there are much more effective products for exfoliation which use synthetic beads that are perfectly round and smooth. They exfoliate without tearing the skin and leave a very smooth finish to it. Clay masks also exfoliate beautifully, along with oatmeal scrubs and very finely milled, raw almonds, hazelnuts and sunflower seeds.

This product is not something that should even be on the market, really. I could never recommend it to anybody. My worst enemy, maybe hahaha

I love the feeling of my skin and the wonderful scent, however this product did nothing for overall skin improvement

Nice for exfoliating but can leave a horrible rash when left on too long.
