This was the first cleanser I ever tried, and I must say that I've had quite a pleasant experience with it. After washing my face I always feel refreshed and clean, and the scrub works wonders on my nose! I have combination skin, so my t-zone tends to get oily throughout the day and I am prone to getting blackheads. I noticed that this product definitely helps get rid of some blackheads, though not all, but for the price I'm paying I'm not complaining! Great product overall.
I tried this product while on a trip visiting a friend and I have to say that this product works well but I am not sure that I would use it daily. It works well but I found it to be a bit drying. I followed it up with my usual moisturizing routine but I still found that my skin was a bit more dry that it would be with my normal facial cleansing products. After a few days I felt like my skin was stripped of its normal moisture. So while I would use this product off and on, I don't think I would buy it and use it on a daily basis.
i have bought this product several times over the years and, even with sensitive skin, i found it to be non-irritating and effective. it is a bit coarser than other scrubs i've used, but i kind of like that....i feel like i'm getting a better exfoliating treatment. plus, you can use it on other areas of your body, too. for the price, it is a product i would recommend. generally, i like st. ives products for their good results and pleasant scent at an affordable price.
I personally found the product a little too rough for my skin.
It smelt nice, and well seemed to clean well. But again too rough for me.
I think that if you have a rather high skin turn over rate, it wouldn't be a bad product to use.
If I were ever to go back to it again, I would make sure that I would use a REALLY light hand
to scrub my face.
I used to use this, but it didn't do that much, and i found that the pits felt like they were getting caught in my skin. My roomie (a guy) used to use it for a while and liked it, but his face is obviously rougher. He stopped too, though not sure why.
I love this stuff. It does a great job exfoliating and the smell is nice too. A major plus is that it's inexpensive and can be found at your regular drug store. I've been using this stuff for years for my skin. I used it just for my face in the beginning but I realized it just as effective if you use it on your legs right before you wax or shave.
Like most people, my face needs constant care. Its not perfect; its combination of dry and oil patches of skin. I used to buy the regular St. Ives apricot facial scrub, but it was too harsh for my skin. I found out about their sensitive skin one which I found it be more comfortable and easy on my face. The beads were not as hard as the regular skin, so it did not make my face dry at all. I love to use it during shower and before I go to sleep. It definitely leaves a clean and moisturized feel after washing it with water. I really enjoy it, especially at the price they sell. This is not only a great exfoliator, but a great cleanser. This is something I would highly recommend it to my friends and family!
i have sensitive skin and it left my face feeling way too dry.
it felt like i was rubbing sand all over my face
Like many of you, I've been using this for years. I find the beads a little harsh for every day use, so I just use it every couple days to exfoliate what my other cleanser doesn't get. The anti-acne one is fabulous too.
I bought a small bottle of this from Shoppers Drug mart because I wanted to try it out first. The price is pretty good.
I have regular skin, a little bit on the dry side. I think if you have oily skin this is a great product but for me it was too rough for my skin.
