Even with just the microbeads this product is far too harsh. I have tried variations of St. Ives products since I was a teenager because they are generally affordably priced, but I won't be trying them anymore. I went to get a facial since using the product and the facialist said I had damaged my skin. I'm going to try and find an alternative that isn't a boutique beauty brand.

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.

Great for exfoliating. I love to use this scrub. The smell is so calming and almost makes me feel like I've been transported. The only negative to this scrub is it can dry out skin.

This is a great product, I like the micro beads as a way to exfoliate the skin. It's gentle but effective and leaves my face feeling fresh and clean without making it dry

J'aime cet exfoliant, cependant je crois qu'il est un peu fort pour les peaux sensibles et il ne faut pas l'utiliser tous les jours, car il risque d'endommager la peau! Une fois par semaine suffit!

I really love this facial cleanser, it's so soft and gentle while still being deep cleaning and exfoliating. It also smelled heavenly which is a plus! I really love how well this cleans my face and I use this cleanser daily and swear by it!

This scrub is gentle and effectively removes dead skin from your face leaving it silky soft and clear of impurities. I also use it on my body for smoother skin.

I've used this for years! I like that it leaves my skin feeling soft. I hate the way my face feels when I run out and forget to get more. Exfoliation is super important to add to your face regiment. This definitely does the trick!

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!!

Love this product. Does the job as a good cleanser once a day and holds me between a face mask once or twice a week. It doesn't leave my skin super dry or tight which I love. And it smells great !
