"ehh..."
Date:May 12, 2012
"Ok so I had heard many great things about this product. So I decided to give it a go. I never used it more than once a day. This didn't do anything for me. I still had blackheads and it seemed to give me scabs (yuck!) So I stopped using it and got a new face wash. And my blackheads are now finally going away! I just think this was a bit harsh for my skin although I do not have sensitive skin. One thing though, I would reccomend this to a friend. Only because it works great for many people including my sister. So it might work on them. It is just not for me. Thanks!"

"dident do much for me."
Date:March 24, 2012
Pros: oily skin, combo skin
"i used this as i was getting more and more breakouts everyday, i wanted to find a facial scrub that helps prevent spots and blackheads and that takes away dead cells, so i purchased this from boots after reading good reviews on it. i used this twice a day everyday and it did not make any difference in my skin, i still got spots and blackheads and i dont think it did shed any dead skin because my skin feels dull even after use. I would not buy this product again as it did not do anything for me, but i like the way my skin feels super soft after use."

"AMAZING"
Date:March 19, 2012
Pros: all skin types
"This is by far the best facial product that I have ever used. For years I have tried dozens of products, and this is my favorite. It is gentle, yet effective, keeps my skin clear and healthy, and really does a number on my blackheads. For more stubborn zits I still use a spot treatment, but this wash really diminished the number of zits I do get. I would recommend this to EVERYONE, whether your skin is oily or sensitive or dry."

"Perfection!"
Date:March 18, 2012
"I just got into scrubs and facial care. and as soon as i used this apricot scrub, i saw a complete change in my skin. first off, my skin was not as oily and flaky as it used to be (i have a oily t-zone and dry skin on my chin and cheeks/combination skin). my blemishes went away or shrunk in size very quickly within the first week of use. by the second use, my skin was less flaky, smooth, and naturally glowing. some people say that this is a really harsh product because of the walnut shells, but honestly, it really is not. my skin is sensitive and i had no problems with it at all. A Great and Wonderful product, and i will definitely be getting more once my tube is gone. Oh, and also great size! i have the (i think) the 6oz bottle, and boy, is that going to last me a while! St.Ives is the best. although it may be more expensive than the other brands, it is definitely worth the extra money. Just Lovely!"

Date:March 13, 2012
"BEST THING EVER!
I have tryed different acne product before, and they have worked, but left my skin dry and flaky! And I absolutly hated it(the other products)! But I just found this in my mothers stuff and used it and it worked perfectly! I just started using it today AFTER I took my shower and it left NO DRY SKIN ON MY FACE!!!! :D I'm so happy, now I don't have to worry about putting Aquphore(vaseline) on my face to keep it dry( plus the petroleum in the vaseline clogs my poors).
But This product doesn't it moisturizes my face and leaves it nice and soft for the perfect touch! Also I have fair sensitive skin, so this is perfect for that kind of skin! EEP I'm so happy!!!!!!"

"Good more then Breakouts."
Date:March 10, 2012
"While I still need a few other products for my breakouts, whenever I use this Cleanser I feel clean. and I do see a reduce in my acne, it's made the breakouts smaller or not even noticeable. which I can easily cover with a light concealer or foundation. However it dosn't eliminate the acne for me, just makes it smaller. However I think i'll be using this cleaner for awhile. :) it's refreshing and feels so nice to put on each night and morning."

"I've been buying my little brother products for years to try and help clear his acne, he hated everything I gave him, till I got him this! The gritty texture makes him feel like he's really getting a deep clean, it smooths his skin and leaves it soft, flake free & not dried out!"

"EXCELLENT"
Date:February 27, 2012
Pros: oily skin dull skin aging skin an sagging skin.
"BY FAR THE BEST SCRUB I HAVE EVER USED. I WAS IN THE COSMETICS BUSINESS FOR YEARS AND THIS SCRUB IS THE BEST EVER. THE PRODUCT ACTUAL EXFOLIATES AND DOESN'T JUST LATHER UP, ALTHOUGH IT DOES THAT TOO! MOST SCRUBS ARE WEAK AND DON'T MAKE A VISIBLE DIFFERENCE ON YOUR SKIN. THIS PRODUCT WHEN RINSED OFF YOUR FACE LEAVES YOUR SKIN GLOWING AND FLUSHED. IT TAKES AWAY ALL THE DEAD SKIN TO REVEAL A MORE VIBRANT AND HEALTHY SKIN UNDERNEATH, TRULY A YOUTHFUL GLOW. THE SALICYLIC ACID IS A BONUS. IT DEEP CLEANS WITHOUT STRIPPING AND REALLY HELPS PREVENT ACNE AND BLACKHEADS WHILE ERASING THE DULL SKIN LOOK! AND...IT DOESN'T LEAVE AN OILY FILM OR RESIDUE AFTER RINSING. ALSO HELPS TO BUILD COLLAGEN IN LOOSE OR SAGGING SKIN WITH THE EXFOLIATION ACTION OF THE BEADS.
WISH I HAD FOUND THIS PRODUCT YEARS AGO. IT FULFILLS MANY OF MY SKINCARE NEEDS IN ONE PRODUCT. PACKAGING IS USER FRIENDLY INCLUDING A CONVENIENT FLIP TOP. THANKS SO MUCH ST IVES...THIS PRODUCT PERFORMS PERFECTLY. SCORE ONE FOR THE EXCELLENT RESEARCH TEAM THAT MADE THE FORMULA. THIS BABY IS A WINNER!"

Date:January 15, 2012
"This product has completely met all expectations I have for a scrub. I have tried several, and nothing has worked the way I wanted it to, including pricey brands. It honestly does NOT over-dry your skin, and leaves it really smooth and clear. My chin and nose are real problem areas with blackheads, and it has cleared them all away. Just follow the directions and you will get the same results! :)"

"Theres Nothing Better!!"
Date:January 10, 2012
"I have been using this product for over a year now & it is AMAZING!! I had HORRIBLE blackheads on my nose & chin & pimples on my forehead & cheeks. I could not find anything that worked even the most explensive products did little to nothing to help. But since using this my skin is completely clear & my complextion is absolutely beautiful!! I also use St. Ives Make-up Remover & Facial Cleanser before using this & St. Ives Firm & Renew Apricot Scrub After as a mask for 20-30 minutes (or until completely dry). & A hugh plus is I LOVE the smell of these products & the bites of walnut in them really feel great when scrubing your skin!! I would most DEFINITELY recommend. All their products are AWESOME from the face & body washes to the lotions!!"

"I swear by it, for the last...20??...years."
Date:November 30, 2011
Pros: removing make-up, preventing breakouts, clearing up blemishes, preventing/eliminating blackheads, keeping skin healthy and young, preventing aging
"I don't know how long this product has been around or exactly when I first purchased it, but I gave it a shot way back when I first started getting occasional adult-acne breakouts. It seems like I was in my 20's. I'd pick it up now and then, as needed. Pretty soon it became part of my daily shower routine. I sometimes ventured away, trying other face scrubs, -some expensive and some generic brands - over the years, but always came back to St. Ives. Nothing else ever left my face feeling as fresh and clean. In fact, I refuse to run out now because my shower just doesn't feel complete unless I've used this product. I rarely ever get breakouts, and blackheads are history.
But here's the kicker...I'm told I look very young for my age of 45 - often 10 to 15 years younger. Genetics could have something to do with it....but its not from any other product - I have not used anything else consistently but for less than a year (I'm always trying stuff, but never stick with anything). Its not because I eat right and drink gallons of water every day (though I'm sure that would add to my youthfulness, if I could commit to it!!). Its not because I've had any surgeries or botox or chemical peels. Its certainly not due to a lack of stress in my life!! lol! St. Ives Apricot Scrub is the only constant that I can attest to for over the last decade (I swear, maybe two), and whether or not its played a factor in keeping me young, it surely hasn't hurt and I will never give it up!! Please don't ever change the magic you put in there!!"

Pros: conquering nasty blemishes
"This is yet another great product from St. Ives. It smells great and works great. The only reason I didn't give this scrub 5 stars is because it's a bit rougher on the scrubby side. It works for me but others with more sensitive skin beware. Overall great addition!! If only they would sell their products in walmart!!!!"

"I just bought this last night and used it in the shower. It felt really good on my skin. Right after I rinsed it off, my skin was unbelievably soft! I think it got rid of some of my stubborn forehead acne as well. Definitely recommend this. Try it because it was only 3 bucks and it works amazing!"
