Rated 5 out of 5 by from The best facial scrub! I first started using this product when I had troublesome acne-prone skin, and within a month it had completely transformed my skin! I no longer have issues with blemishes and an uneven tone and surface. The deep exfoliating effect feels amazing on the face, leaving skin feeling smooth and extremely clean. Love this scrub ❤️

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This really works!!!! This stuff works amazing! I’m 16 and nothing ever worked on my skin until I discovered this St.Ives product. I first started using this 1.5years ago and I fell in love with it! Just opening it to the fresh smell of apricots makes you want to use it on your skin! I use it every other day (it may be too harsh for many people to use this daily, the bottle thing it is in says recommended usage amount) and the results are almost instant! This leaves my skin feeling soft and refreshed and doesn’t feel oily when using. I really recommend this product and anyone who’s looking for problematic skin relief/cures should give this a try. This helps keep my skin clearer and does reduce the never of pimples and help remove them the only disappointment I’ve had with this is the it doesn’t remove my blackheads on my nose like everyone’s said it does. But other then that this is an amazing product that I’ll continue using for years to come. *St.Ives plz never discontinue making this!*

Rated 5 out of 5 by from BEST FACE WASH SCRUB EVER!!!! This is the best face wash I’ve ever used! I’m 14 and the past few years my skin has become more problematic (pimples, blackheads, acne, breakouts, etc...) and every product I would use it would either irritate my skin or do NOTHING to help. Ever since I discovered this product I’ve been using it twice a day and it has been working like magic!(Although if you have more sensitive skin twice a day may be too much for you...the packaging on it says a recommended age amount/how to use for new users).It doesn’t feel oily after rinsing it off, it has a great refreshing sent, and it leaves your skin feeling smooth and refreshed! After using it after a few days I instantly saw results! I’ve been using it for about 3 months now and I am very happy with the work this facewash does! I would recommend this to everyone! A big shoutout goes to St. Ives for this amazing product!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) As an acne sufferer I am always looking for a product that will help with it. After using this product for a few weeks i have noticed a tremendous improvement in my skin. After every use my skin feels so fresh and clean. This product also smells amazing which is a plus for me...who wants to use a product that doesn't smell great. The quality and quantity for the price is great.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from THEE. HOLY. GRAIL. I have been using St. Ive's since I was 15 years old (I am 25). I remember the first time trying this product as a teenager & since then I have been an advocate for St. Ive's especially this specific product. It not only has a lovely scent, but you feel it working as you use it -remember to only massage softly, the product already has granules in it so it does the scrub work for you. I use St. Ive's Apricot Scrub once or twice a week in order to manage my skin's pores & blackheads, but not too often in order to maintain my skin's natural balance of oils. Definitely use this product with the Timeless Skin Mineral Clay Firming Mask and then the Fresh Skin Collagen Elastin Moisturizer, they are a fantastic trio. I more than recommend this product and honestly would not know what to do if it was no longer available. Thank you St. Ive's and please continue to care about your customers and the environment.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I use this product daily to wash my face. I love the exfoliation aspect and it's effectiveness. It really does a great job of freshening up your skin. I find I have a lot less breakouts now that I've been using this regularly. I used to get breakouts mainly around the time of menstruation and I've noticed that this face wash has reduced the frequency of breakouts by quite a lot. It's a great way to freshen up your skin with the exfoliating properties of the face wash and I love using it. The price is very good compared to some other facial wash products on the market.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I know this is for the face but I actually use it on my back (as I get the occasional breakout back there). You can't beat the price and it works sooo good. The best product I have ever tried. I find body washes tend to dry me out and then, more oil production = more acne (grr). This scrub leaves the moisture in while exfoliating and my skin feels soft.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love the St. Ives Blemis Control Apricot Scrub. It works to well to scrub away dry skin and make my skin so soft and smooth again. It helps prevent blemishes. Use as directed as you don't want to scrub your face everyday as faces are more sensitive. Highly recommend this product and is sold at a great price always!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I totally love this face scrub.Its not too rough for my sensitive skin and having blemish prone skin ive seen a difference after using my blemish is lesser and my skin feels fresh and looks brighter.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have been using this facial scrub for probably well over half my life. I use it several times a week, and my skin feels smooth and soft. The scrub is especially helpful to me when my skin gets dry and rough in the winter. And here I live, the winters suck. Blech. I even use the scrub on my body once in a while!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This has been my go to face wash for years. I have tried other products but keep coming back to this one. The price is great and the product works very well. Leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. Scrubs off all my old skin cells and brings out the new. Smells great too

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have used this facial scrub since I was a teen (long time ago) and have always found it to be the best scrub that I have tried. My husband gets me "new and improved " scrubs in my stocking at Christmas, but I always go back to St. Ives blemish control apricot facial scrub every time. Why not use the one that works best?

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have tried a few more expensive facial scrubs but always come back to this. It works gently; it is well priced and it comes in a container that travels well. WIN WIN! And it smells great!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This product has always been tried and true. You only need to use a small amount of product for your entire face, I usually use it twice a week to control any pimples and redness. It also works well dry before a fake tan on the body. I always have to have this product around, it is a definite skincare staple.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) St. Ives Blemish Control scrub is a heaven-send! It helped clear my acne up within a month of using it. The smell is really nice and fresh. The only thing is the scrub can be very abrasive if you are not gentle enough.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I'm a huge fan of this product. I've tried so many other scrubs, and I absolutely always come back to this one. It's effective, it smells good, and the price is definitely right.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I love the st.ives collection. It is affordable and it works. I love to do a facial scrub but I do suffer from mild acne so I am careful as to what I use on my face. This is a great scrub I use a few times a week and it doesn't leave my face dry and is gentle on my acne.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) This is my favorite face scrub. I use it for a few days a month to keep hormonal breakouts under control and it does a pretty good job. I leave it on for about a minute, the rub for another minute, then let it sit for a final minute to let the active ingredients have a chance to work. <br /> <br /> I have very sensitive skin, this has never caused me any issue. I will keep buying this as long as st ives keeps making it!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from (This review was collected as part of a promotion.) I have been using this product for far too many years for me to remember and, now my kids are using it too. Good for any skin type and works very effectively. The smell is great and the thickness is just right. Which means that a little goes a long long way. My skin is glowing after I use it and I can use it everyday and sometimes twice a day.

RATINGS AND REVIEWS

KEY INGREDIENTS

APRICOT FRUIT EXTRACT

We adore these fuzzy fruits. Depending on the season, you’ll find us in either sunny California, or somewhere in North Africa, picking out the juiciest ones. It’s how we get the fragrant extracts and kernel oils we want for our scrubs and body washes.

WALNUT SHELL POWDER

Crushed walnut shell powder is the gentle-yet-effective secret behind many of our scrubs. We take pride in ensuring the walnut shell powder in our scrubs is finely milled and polished so that each particle has a smooth surface. This ensures our scrubs only provide exfoliation to the outer layers of dead skin cells and do not damage your skin.

ALL INGREDIENTS
