I started using this 10-15 years ago as a pre-teen, daily, and back then it changed my skin quite a bit, for the better. I continued using it for the better part of those years, until everybody started saying it is too harsh, period. It is very gritty. So I stopped for a while, but it appears I can't leave it alone - I repurchased it within the last year or so, and now just use it every few months when my skin is dull, needing a boost and deep cleansing. I should probably use it more often, but I'm still finding my perfect routine. Anyway, I had tried a couple alternatives in the meantime, and though I didn't look very hard, they didn't compare. My BF likes this as well. I can't say I recommend anyone using this daily, or on super sensitive skin. But at the end of the day, St. Ives claims this deep cleans and instantly leaves skin smooth and glowing, and that is absolutely true for me and my not-so-sensitive, combination skin. I haven't come across anything better for removing dead/dull skin, especially if you use this with a Clarisonic, as I do with everything. Be sure to clean your Clarisonic of those itty bitty grits if you do this to keep it running smoothly.
This scrub also comes in variations such as Blemish Control, which I've tried and liked as well, or Blackhead Clearing. Those are packaged in 150ml squeeze tubes for $4.57 at my local Walmart in the GTA of Canada. The Fresh Skin version is seemingly the only one packaged in a 300ml tub (photo attached) for a dollar or two more, which is usually my choice and a steal in my opinion. It's also the cheapest I've found locally, though others such as Shopper's Drug Mart carry it too. Some may prefer the squeeze tubes for hygenic purposes, but the tub is the cost effective ("value size") choice and doesn't have to be cut open to access all of the product. Oh, and this smells nice too!

This products I will always have I have been using this since I was a teenager and your skin will feel amazing and clean and look healthy ! This is a 10out of 10 in my books

I have tried this but I cannot use it on my face. My skin is very sensitive and this was to abrasive for the skin on my face. I can use this on my body so I did not waste the product.

I have been using this product since high school. It's a must have in my Beauty routine. I use it twice a day in the shower with an exfoliating sponge. Nice consistency and value. I had terrible acne as a teen but never took anything for it. I actually started using this scrub right after and still to date I use this to achieve clear smooth skin.

The scrub smells good but is too harsh for the face. My skin felt too dry after a couple of uses and I did not see any improvement in my skin texture and my pores looked bigger than before.

This product is great for the face,it leaves your face feeling refresh and soft. It also feels like it gos deep into your pores. It smells great. Not a bad price for this product for women. The only thing I didn't like about this product is u can't stay out in the sun to long,( caution on the back of product). Yes and no I would but this product again.

Love this! I use it all the time. It's helps a lot in getting rid of the dead skin and makes my face feel so very clean! I also find that my skin feels nice and soft after using it.

My boyfriend swears by this face scrub. He has been buying it for a very long time now. I tried using it once though but I got an allergic reaction to it, but that's just my skin, it's hyper sensitive. So yeah if you got very sensitive skin and are prone to allergies, you should probably test it before you put it all over your face. If your face is normal to dry like my boyfriend's this works just great!! :D

The St.Ives apricot face scrub is one of my all time favourites. Love how smooth and fresh it leaves my face. Totally with the buy. Definitely recommend.

I found this scrub to be a little too harsh on my skin. The apricot beads were a little too abrasive to rub onto the face for a long time. I will only use this product once a week and not more than that as it also dries out my skin. The price is reasonable and it smells great too.
