I absolutley love this stuff! I've used it since I was like 16! it's and old school beauty buy that never gets old!
I have been using St. Ives Apricot Scrub for years now! I always buy it when I see it on sale. I've seen it for two for one! It comes in a tub now too, which I think is better value for the price. But it is not expensive to begin with! It is a facial scrub, but I find it a bit harsh for my face (I use it on my face when I notice a lot of dry skin, but not often). I use it as my body exfoliator! I wax/epilate my underarms and legs all the time and I find this has been the best product for staving off those pesky ingrown hairs! I exfoliate almost every other day with this stuff! For the price, you can afford to slather it on all over. It makes my legs soft and smooth and I haven't had an ingrown hair for ages! I also use it after a bikini wax for the same reason... but EVERY carefully... :)
I've used other body scrubs, more expensive body scrubs. They do a fine job, but for the value and effectiveness I will be sticking with my St. Ives!
I use the Apricot Sensitive Skin Scrub every day and night since the walnut pieces are too harsh and can do some damage to your skin. It doesn't dry out my skin like other face washes AND it has cleared up my skin (I used to have a bit of acne). This is the only face wash I can reliably stick to.
This facial scrub works very well. It has little beads that exfoliates your skin and scrubs all the dead skin cells away. It leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth. The smell is very pleasant. The plus? Very inexpensive.
I hadn't used this in years and a couple of weeks ago it was on a display in the center of a grocery aisle staring at me with it's low price of $2.99. I tossed it in my cart and been using it every couple of days on my face , arms and legs. It doens't dry me out and isn't as scratchy as some exfoliants. I am glad I was reunited with it.
This my all-time favorite scrub. I am very excited because it now comes in different formulas, such as gentle and acne fighting. It is so inexpensive too and can be found just about anywhere!
What a mess. I got this product, because - lets face it, its dirt cheap, and I love anything that makes me feel like I'm scrubbing days away. It feels great while you're scrubbing, but once you rinse, there is a filmy layer that feels like it was meant to have moisturizing properties. I waited for it to dry, but it just ended feeling sticky and like I was wearing a face-shaped rubber band. The first time, I left it and hoped for the best, but it just got super oily as the day went on. My second go, I ended up washing my face again with another product.
My skin is NOT super oily - I can't imagine what it would do to skin that was, or acne prone skin.
I really like this product as an exfoliant that I can use every day because it's so gentle. I keep mine in the shower and it invigorates me when I wake up in the morning. The almond scent is really nice and the grains are really small and don't aggravate my sensitive skin at all. It's not an expensive fash wash and I find it works well when I feel a break out coming on!
I love this St. Ives product. It makes my face feel smooth and fresh after the shower. I agree though that it isn't really a daily scrub, but more of a weekly or every couple of days scrub. I also enjoy the smell!
Tip: for dry winter (or just hard worked) hands use as a hand scrub in the sink. Your sink may get a tad dirty, but it's well worth it! Use your favourite hand lotion afterwards and your hands will feel a million times better! Use warm to hot water for best results.
St. Ives works well as a weekly cleansor, but I wouldn't recommend it for every day u use. It broke out my skin, I think because it was a little oily.
