Years ago, my mother had bought me the original formula of this product & I used it for a while, but have since strayed to other "miracle products." After getting a little sick of paying [$] a month for a product that gave half-results, I decided to give this new version of an oldy but goody a try & I am happy to say that I am pleasantly surprised. I use this product every morning and every night. The exfoliators in this product help to remove surface dullness and dry skin while the 3% salicylic acid helps to get deep down into the pores and remove the more deeply embedded sebum. Additionally, the salicylic acid helps to reduce the production of skin oils, so I don't have that shiny T-Zone. It works hard, but is still gentle on the skin. My pores actually appear to be smaller in diameter, too!

Abrasive enough to leave skin feeling smooth, but doesn't feel harsh. Regular use does seem to cut down on acne. I wish it didn't have parabens, but I use it anyway because I like the results.

This product is the ONLY thing that has worked to control "adult" acne but you have to use it every day because it's more prevention than cure.

I love this scrfub for my oily/acne prone skin. Since it has salicylic acid, it is not as drying as benzoyl peroxide. It cleans out the pores and makes the skin soft. If your skin gets dry, just use it every other day. But I do use benzoyl peroxide cleaners at least once a week too.

This is the best scrub out there hands down. I used to have minor acne on my face but ever since I started using this a few times a week my skin is perfect! I wash my face on a normal basis with the Purpose bar but as it can be a little drying this certainly does the trick. My skin is now even, soft, and acne free. I definitely recommend this product

I've been using this product for a little over a year, and I must say that it is the best scrub I've ever used. I had mild acne, and had tried just about everything to get rid of it...I was just in the habit of changing cleansers every time I ran out of one, because nothing ever worked. Then I got a sample of this in the mail with my [@] order. At first I was thinking "Oh, I don't want to try this. It's a cheap brand!"....but oh, how my thinking was flawed! I eventually decided to try it, and the day after I used it, my acne was already clearing up! So when I finished off the sample bottle, I immediately went to the store and bought 2 bottles of the stuff. It's been working marvelously ever since! I wouldn't use anything else, and I'm sooo glad my cleanser search is over. I definitely recommend this.

Alright, I came online and googled St.Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish & Blackhead Control because I have been using this product for almost 3years now and I am currently a 24 year old college athlete that spent all of high school with the worst acne possible. I used everything in the books and it didn't work. Every product at the store literally and also proactive solution, Clinque for men, ("Prescription"Brevoxyl 4 Creamy wash) along with all sorts of prescription pills and night topical creams including Minocyclin pills with Differin, Benzamycin, Benzacin, duak... The Benzaycin, Benzacin, and Duak. I tried everything. Back to my story, I happened to go to a buddies house and I so happened to use the St. Ives Apricot Scrub Blemish and Blackhead Control that was the only thing in his bathroom besides shampoo and the minute I used this stuff, I rewashed my face 3 times within 10minutes. I knew right then and there that this was the stuff that I had been looking for, that could have saved me 5years of horrible acne. I know it doesn't work for everybody but If it worked for me, You will regret not using it for 1 week. This is simply an amazing scrub and when I don't use it for 2 days, my face becomes oily and I start to break out again. I use it once in the morning and once at night in which I shower twice a day. Every acne product says theirs works, St. Ives does not advertise their product as they should. You have to try it and I don't use any other products of St. Ives Except for the "APRICOT SCRUB" Blemish and Blackhead Control. During the summer I will sometimes use it 3 times a day depending on how much I sweat. I go through a bottle every week. 5-7days. I like to use a lot to cover my whole face and chest,back, literally my whole body even though I don't have much acne at all, just a couple here and there but tiny ones. This Scrub is a Charm if you have bad acne and than at night use a prescription topical cream. I would not use any prescription cream except Benzacin, or benzamycin, or Duac.. All 3 work amazing with the Apricot Scrub.. I am very passionate about this Scrub because it has worked for me and a girl I know that had bad acne along with me in high school, I so happened to see it in her bathroom a year ago and we both are clear now.. Hope I said enough. Forget proactive and the other junk.. Trust me.

I use this product on my face every week. I love how it makes my face feel soft after I use it.

i use this product 2 times a day. it makes my skin really soft and gives it a healthy glow.... it really works well on blackheads and white heads... i love it!!

I must say I am impressed with this product. I bought it and was nervous thinking that it might be expensive, such a good price!! I'm still in the process of using it so it may take awhile before I see my acne go away, but I love the way it makes my skin feel- so much softer and fresh!!! It gets rid of all that cruddy oil mess I have on my face and makes my skin look less shiny! I love it! I definitely don't have a problem with my face getting too dry because my skin looks and feels normal, it's almost like I don't need moisturizer or anything. But, of course Im definitely going to buy moisturizer in the future so my skin stays moisturized and supple! But I do recommend this product to anyone! It's a great way to keep your skin fresh and clean. Also, you can mix the scrub with your everyday face cleanser (like I do) it makes the job even better!
