This scrub not only feels wonderful while using it, but it honestly does make your skin feel HEAVENLY after use - so smooth and blemish free! However, it is a very drying product and tends to strip your skin of its natural oils, so be careful in regards to how often you use it.

St. Ives Blemish Control Scrub Review
A delicious scrub that smells of fuzzy apricots & helps reduce breakouts before they even occur. Made with 100% natural exfoliants (like crushed walnut shell powder) for a gentle, deep cleanse.

Tips: Use this scrub once per week (particularly if you have sensitve skin), and follow up with a good moisturiser!
I have used this scrub since my teens and I am now in my 30s. Truely one of the best and most reliable scrubs ever. It does what it says and I love that it more of a strong harsh scrub. The fact that it has salicylic acid in it keeps me always coming back to this scrub, it cleans my pores and more. My skin is always glowing and soft after I use this.
Tips: Before you rinse this mask off, leave it on your skin for a few minutes to let the salicylic acid penetrate your skin and work to remove your dead skin. Salicylic acid is an amazing exfoliant and helps to release the “glue” of the dead skin.
Love using this product leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth. Cleaning my pores and scrubbing away dead skin too. This is great for teenagers as it is easy to use in or out of the shower and when you don’t have much time.
Tips: A little bit goes a long way figure out how much you need then it will last longer.
I used to love a real good harsh scrub when I was younger - felt like I was getting a really good clean and getting rid of all the impurities. But as I have grown older and my skin is less forgiving, I need to go a bit gentler on my face. This product is way less gritty and rough than the original Apricot Scrub, but still gives a good deep scrub when you need one. Just not every day! Still has that delicious apricot smell too. Also, really good for getting rid of any rough skin elsewhere on the body e.g. elbows etc.
Tips: Use every now and then - not every day.
i have sensitive oily acne prone skin ,and i found this was too harsh for my face ,my face got ithyness and irritation after using this ,i have to use it on my body ,dont know if its reducing the sopts ,
I use this one all the time. Leaves my skin fresh and clean gets rid of black heads and acne. This is a great scrub for every day use and for normal skin. It doesn’t dry you out
A nice product and has the added benefit of fighting blemishes. I think it did a good job of helping with breakouts and skin feels so smooth and soft afterwards. I probably wouldn't use this anymore as my skin can get a little too dried out from it, but I think it would be fine if I just used it from time to time. When I needed to help with breakouts it absolutely helped keep them at bay so great if that is your main focus!
Tips: Great to keep in the shower!
This scrub is terrible for skin, it causes micro tears within the skin as the beads that do the scrubbing are far too harsh for our skin! Please do research before using this. I used this when I was younger and it left my skin feeling so tight and tender. There are many other great scrubs with salicylic acid in it (which is the product in this that helps with acne) this is just far too rough for skin on the face!
Tips: Try something much softer please!
My skin over the years has been a touchy minx... everything during my teens that was supposed to help even out my skin, made me break out like it was no tomorrow! This has been the only product that I can use all the time (pretty much on a daily basis) and have ZERO problems.
Tips: I find it works best during your shower. It is usually the step done while my conditioner is doing its thing in my hair.
Fantastic if you want a good face cleaning but not if you have sensitive skin or just was a product that is gentle on the skin.
