Extremely silly

by Candy

in Connecticut on 11/11/08

Pros: Smells Great

Cons: Doesn't exfoliate well, Too Greasy or Heavy

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

say hello to the WORST facial scrub on the market...umm..wait. i shouldn't even call it a scrub because it doesn't even "scrub" anything! oh my goodness. it feels like i'm putting baby lotion on my face! it doesn't exfoliate whatsoever! plus, it makes my skin soooo greasy afterwards which is NOT good for me because i already have oily acne prone skin in the first place! soooo yea. for those of you who want a deep exfoliation. I would recommend the Apricot Scrub for Blemish and Blackhead Control. shoot, it works wonders for me. All you have to do is be very gentle when using it because the granules are a little rougher. Plus a tube lasts a loooong time. I got mine in April and it still isn't finished hahaha. a little goes a looong way

The thing that cleared my adult acne

by Night Owl Girl [Verified Reviewer]

Bottom Line: recommended

After suffering from the worst scarring acne in the past year, I got desperate and went to the dermatologist who prescribed me Retin-A, but I wanted to try one last cheaper method. I hadn't used this face wash since I was a teenager, but I bought it again, and after two months of daily use (I got the Sensitive and not the Acne or Regular kind because I wanted to use it everyday) - OMG it's been a miracle. My face is clear and smooth for the first time in over a year. They don't even advertise this as an acne cure, which they should! I think it works because adult acne is mostly caused by skin cell build-up, which this fixes.

Good Job!

Pros: Not Greasy, Softens Skin

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

I love this product alot! I have an ultra sensitive skin, tried countless from drugstore to high-end brands, and so far this is the most calming and gentle to my skin. I didn't find it greasy at all, while some reviewers said it was. I guess it depends on individual skin. Well, this is CHEAP and GOOD! LOVE IT!

get the original

by Kate

in Valencia, CA on 10/4/08

Pros: Moisturizes Well

Cons: Doesn't exfoliate

Describe Yourself: Budget Buyer

Bottom Line: not recommended

I will only use the original Apricot Scrub! This one for sensitive skin doesn't do anything! With the traditional there are at least 20 grains whereas with this one you're lucky to feel 1 or 2 scrubbing your skin. I like to feel like the old, dry, dull skin cells are all off of my face when I am done scrubbing. With this one I just feel like I rubbed a bit of goo on me and it didn't exfoliate anything.

i use this product everyday

Works well

by Amy

in Silver Spring, MD on 6/28/08

Best Uses: Face

Bottom Line: recommended

Works well for occasional use on my sensitive facial skin. My face does tend to be a little red & irritated for about a day afterwards, but it doesn't hurt. Clears up my blocked pores.

The person who said it ...

The person who said it was like washing the face with hand lotion was correct. It leaves a greasy film on the face. There are not enough particles in the product. What is there is nice, but it is mostly filler. I was really disappointed and did not finish the tube. I wanted to like this product because I like the invigorating scrub so much.

I bought this product ...

by randy

in Cazenovia, NY on 6/29/07

I bought this product after having used and liked other St. Ives apricot scrubs, thinking the "gentle" on the label would be a bonus (I have sensitive skin). Well, Ive got to agree with another writer who wrote a few reviews back; St. Ives has messed up on this gentle formula. The "scrub" part is nearly nonexistent (the particles are fine and hardly there), and the formula is incredibly greasy. It doesn't feel like you get any exfoliating properties from this version. Not very satisfied; I won't buy again.

I have acne-prone skin ...

I have acne-prone skin and like that this is so gentle. I do feel it does a good job of exfoliating without the harshness of other scrubs. My skin feels smooth after using this.

Apply to wet face, massage gently and rinse thoroughly (avoiding contact with eyes). If you experience irritation use less frequently.
