Gives me pimples
Every time I use this, it irritates my skin, dries it and gives me pimples the following day.
I really want to like this product but I guess it's too harsh for my skin.
Cannot live without it
Ever since I started using this scrub, it has made my skin really smooth and soft. I have no pimple, pores and blemishes from this product and it makes me feel confident and beautiful. I would highly recommend this product!!
Been using forever!
I have been using this product for over 10 years. My bathroom is never ever without it.
There is no other product that gives you such a great clean and makes my skin glow !

Good Product!
Before I started using this product, I started to panic. I was continuously having breakouts, huge pimples and many blemishes on my forehead, cheeks and chin. When I started using this product, it definitely controlled the amount of blemishes I got but I still got a few. I have got to say, this product is very good and pretty impressive for it's price but there can be a few small improvements from St Ives...

Great scrub helps with pimples
I was put onto this product by a friend. It cleared my skin in about 5 days. Highly recommend it for low to moderate acne. Great price. Just don't scrub to long or hard. Give it a go!!
It's not as great as people say it is
I used this for the first time having high hopes but it did nothing but makeup skin feel terrible it made my face dry, itching and making it feel disgusting my face has not felt the same again wouldn't recommend

OK
Not fantastic with acne but does a reasonable job. Gentle exfoliation. Reasonable product. If you expect this to clear your skin forget about it. Go with acne.org products for that.

St. Ives vs. Aapri
Of all the skin care routines; I support facial scrubs as my number one practice, then moisturise! If you’ve ever wondered (like I have) why a man’s face still appears youthful in his 40’s, it’s because when he shaves he exfoliates!?
Hence if the same exfoliating principle applies; why not use a facial scrub for women that would give a similar effect?
Apart from genetics playing a major factor in our appearance; I would recommend the use of a suitable facial scrub as part of a daily/weekly/fortnightly routine to preserve our good looks. ...
Read moreIt’s something I have done for decades with Aapri Apricot Scrub before they took it off the supermarket shelves and replaced it with St. Ives… St. Ives Apricot Scrub - *150ml $9.99, by comparison is a lot gentler, less abrasive, and more costly than Aapri original - *100ml $7.99, in the long run… So for me, St. Ives; lacks sufficient grit (exfoliant particles), economy and constitutes an obsessive daily routine, because it’s been formulated gentle enough to use every day as to once a week per say. Given that everyone’s routine and skin care/type differs… If you have sensitive skin this product will perhaps suit your skin type over mine.Not too bad
I have very stubborn acne and this product doesn't get rid of it completely but it does reduce my redness, smells amazing, makes me feel fresh and leaves the parts of my face not covered in bumps baby butt smooth. I suppose it's just the fact that i'm 17 and all hormonal and what not that it doesn't do everything i need/wish a face wash would do. Reasonably priced too, i really would not complain if it cost an extra $5 on top of the price now, it's worth it.
Amazing smell

Great for the price
This is a great low budget product. If used correctly, it leaves the skin smooth and clear. As a qualified beauty professional, I am always looking for good quality and trust me when I say, in the cosmetics world, price means nothing. The only thing I highly suggest when using this product, DO NOT SCRUB! The abrasive particles are not smooth, or spherical. They have tiny sharp edges to them, so smooth and gentle circular motions are essential to ensure you don't scratch and damage the surface of your skin.
Cheap, effective, easy to find in stores
Uneven particles can damage the skin, if used incorrectly.
Love it!
This scrub is my absolute favourite! It gets rid of pimples and prevents them from coming back and makes your face so soft! It was the only product that got rid of my acne and iv never had it again since! If you have trouble with acne or even just breakouts every now and then and you haven't tried this yet, do yourself a favour and go get it! Its amazing. Its also pretty cheap and smells so good!
Everything! It does wonders.

Great Facial Scrub!
It was my best friend who introduced this product to me. She has a lot of acne before we part ways over summer then when the school opened again, I was amazed that slowly her acne were fading away. I am so happy for her not just because she got rid of her acne but more so, she regain her confidence and started going out from home. After seeing such incredible result, I bought one for me and it didn't disappointed me. I have acne but can be counted with fingers. I felt smoothness after washing. Definitely, won't try another brand.
removes acne, smoothness
don't use if you have open wound on your face

Not suitable for me...
I’m a male teenager who love’s testing various products to see which among them is suitable for me. I’ve tried using this product because of my mom who keeps a range of products inside the bathroom.
On a spur of the moment decision, I decided to use this St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I love its smell but then when I started applying it on my face I noticed that it cannot create a good lather. When I wash it, I felt that my face is becoming oily, though it is softer.
After that trial, I decided that maybe this product is not for me because I am not...
This is amazingly good
I am a 17 year old boy and i have not bad acne just those bumps on forehead and cheeks and a few pimples and i used this for the first time and it works great skin feels softer and clean, after about 2 days of using it my skin is already starting to clear up! and after 2 weeks it is clear and soft! i also use a good moisturiser which helps so much as well! and drink a lot of water and eat fruit everyday! which also helps from the inside of your body for acne! so if you want clear smooth skin! use get this product! and a good moisturiser like Ol...

My easy clean facial.
My sister put me onto this when I was about 19. So I have been using it for 20 years. I have tried other products but this wins hands down. Love it!
Makes my skin soft and clean and keeps the blackheads at bay by eliminating my oily skin. I use this every night.
natural products used.

I have tried so many different products to help clear my skin. None have worked until i came across this amazing product! I have only used it for a week now but i can already tell a difference! My face is clear and feels great! I love the smell of it and the texture feels great. My face feels smooth, clean and lovely after i use it. I highly recommenced this product to anyone with any skin type. I also love how it is all natural.

Waste of money!
This procuct is not worth hype that it gets. I have combination oily skin this product did nothing for my skin. The apricot peices are super abrassive and my skin just couldn't atke it. This didn't clear up any of my acne and my skin didnt even feel clean from using it. This product is realitvely cheap but still not worth it.
Cheap
Abrassive, dosent clear acne, my skin didnt feel clean

Great product!
Best exfoliating scrub for face that I've ever tried.
Other ones feel too synthetic and not rough enough to exfoliate my skin. Little beads in normal exfoliator don't exfoliate we'll enough.
However my skin feels smooth, the smell is great and it the stuff lasts ages!
Wouldn't buy another exfoliator!
Texture, smell, size.
Could be cheaper, but so could everything!
It doesn’t leave the skin feeling tender
St Ives Apricot Scrub is the most pleasant to use exfoliator on the market, in any case it is the gentlest I have ever used and I have tried many, most of them have proven to be ‘ more of the same’ . This one is foamy and fragrant and doesn’t leave my skin feeling tender the way some harsh ones have done in the past.
Gentle yet effective
I have used this for a while now, along with other products along the way. My acne has never been overly problematic but definitely persistent! I have found St Ives apricot scrub to be gentle and effective. I used it a couple of times a week, sometimes every day and I am happy with the results :) I have found that using this along with toner has been the best remedy for me!
Feels nice, cheap, smells good
Do they still have Swiss Vanilla shower cream?.
Love scrub. Thankyou.
glowing
i bought this scrub after my friend told me how goood it was, it made my skin glow so much when i used it, although it left my skin a little dry(most cleansers somehow do that to my oily skin) it felt like it was actually scrubbing which was good

Fantastic product! A must have!
I have been using this for years. I changed a few times because I got bored of it, and purchased more expensive brands, but this is the ultimate scrub. I have oily/ acne prone sensitive skin and I find that this is gentle but grainy enough to give my skin a good scrub without irritating it. I love this. I use it 3 times a week and one bottle lasts over a year!
Everything! Great price, great texture!
Use it religiously!
I don't have extremely acne prone skin, but I do get blemishes here and there just like everyone else, which because very irritating. I searched for ages for a good cleanser that wouldn't dry out or ruin my skin, and was SO relieved to have found this miracle in a bottle!
It is inexpensive and the bottle is decently sized, so money was no problem. The actual content was even better. Not only does it smell incredible, it has these tiny bead/granules that scrub deep into your pours and leave you feeling clean and refreshed.
I don't use it every...

A nice yet mild scrub
I purchased this as a weekly scrub for my face...it is lovely and smells nice but is quite a mild scrub...which for some is great..but I do prefer a little more abrasive..personal preference..not sure whether it is better or worse to have more abrasive..but I prefer it. It is quite inexpensive and you get a decent size bottle.
Lovely smell and feel
Quite a mild scrub....if you prefer a stronger one probably not the one for you.
