It's really hard to find these nowadays but overall a good product
I love this product - I have combination skin and worked wonders for me. I guess it's the gentle exfoliation + moisturising effect of it. It is also not super expensive. On another side, I realised I am having challenges finding this at a grocery store nearby.

Love St Ives Facial Scrub
I love it and have used it for 30 years, daily. I have very oily skin and it works well for me. I would be devastated if it was ever taken off the market so just in case, I keep a small stock of it.

So amazing!
This scrub is amazing! I used to have very oily skin so I was using products for oily skin but now my skin is very dry and this product has fully got rid of my scaliness and made my skin so smooth. Can’t say it’s made my skin less dry because that’s just how my skin is now but I’ve definitely noticed less break outs and flakey skin since using this product. I wouldn’t recommend for sensitive skin, it might make your issues worse in that case.

terrible
I really don't like this product because after 1 week of using this I broke out. also being a skin care by hyram fan [a skin care doctor on the internet] I really don't like this product. also really rough on the skin and when applying it hurts

love this product
this scrub is fantastic!!! I have very oily skin due to clogged pores & this cleanser helped me in combating oily glands. It has also improved my dull akin and it has tiny beads that doesn't feel harsh to the skin.

true to its claims, it smoothens dry & rough patches on my skin
this is a nice skin cleanser, I have oily to combination skin and this cleanser helps me in dealing with it. This is a great scrub, smells very refreshing and it didn't cause any irritation. One thing I noticed is with a prolong use, my skin becomes super dry so it's better to put on moisturizer or switch from a moisturizing cleanser from time to time.

Worked well despite the not so great reviews
I was first sceptical about trying it because of the mainly negative reviews, but decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked, leaving my skin feeling nice and refreshed

Family Favourite Facial Scrub
I have been using this facial scrub since I was in high school after being recommended by mum who also uses the scrub to clear any rough patches and smooth out my skin - it worked wonders! The scrub is very gentle on your skin and exfoliates very well without stripping away too much oils. Unlike other facial scrubs that usually cause irritation and burning, this scrub leaves your skin feeling refreshed and detoxed. However, do not use daily but only 3 time a week or when you need a good facial exfoliation to clear out built-up dirt and oils.

Ruined my skin
I began using this product late 2017 because I saw all the positive reviews it had and after a week of using it my skin started breaking out horribly and I’m not prone to breaking out at all. I continued to use it for the next few months which caused some shock to my skin because once I stopped using it my acne cleared up but I was left with these horrible scars all over my face. Being a year since I stopped using it, i’ve had to buy all these creams to help fade my scars but i’ll always be left with the indented scarring. Definitely do not recommend for all.

So great! Truly works
I struggled with acne in high school, although since I started using this product, my face has really cleared up.
I alternate between this and a less intense exfoliator : a neutrogena scrub (just to switch up routine) and they work perfectly!
First time user and in love
I have only just started using the new blackhead scruv and I cannot fault it. It leaves my skin feeling so fresh and my stubborn blackheads are slowly vanishing! finally a cheap and beautiful cleanser!!

Love the way my skin feels.
I’ve been using St Ives for as long as I can remember, I absolutely love this scrub, my skin feels amazing after having used this, clean and refreshed, silky smooth, the texture isn’t too harsh, just right. I have sensitive skin and this scrub is perfect, my pores are less visible, which I love, super cheap and affordable, highly recommend this scrub.

Love this Product SO MUCH
Just got this Product and I have to say, it seems to be working really well! It’s a really gental face scrub and just gets the job done really nicely. I have only been using it for a week and my skin feels softer and smoother!!! Definitely recommend for people who get pimples and breakouts!!
Change of formula of St Ives Apricot Scrub
I usually buy two tubes of apricot scrub a month. I have just bought two new tubes and I noticed immediately that the formula has been changed. I checked the new tube against the old tube and confirmed my suspicion. The new product smells like chemical instead of apricot and sticks to your skin and is hard to wash off. I don't think I will buy any more of this product again - and I have bought it for many years. I was very happy with the old product and I don't understand why they would change the formula when the old one was so good.

AMAZING!!
For someone who used to have dry skin and blemishes, this has worked so well for me! From the first try, i could already see a change in terms of my dry skin. It was smoother, softer and it brightened my face. My blemishes i used to have are now gone. i continue to use this because i get occasional blemishes but it also keep my face clear, smooth and hydrated. Also, smells amazing!

St Ives Apricot Scrub Really Good
St Ives Apricot Scrub is really good, especially for cleansing your pores and taking away pimples and moisturising your skin in a couple of days. It has a nice, fruity smell, which isn't over-powering and only use it when my skin looks like it needs to be cleaned up again. I would recommend this scrub to anyone who has problems with acne.

Skincare essential
This is one of my go-to products and has been for years. It does specify on the actual product that it is a deep exfoliater so I use it about twice a week. It takes away dead and dry skin and leaves my face renewed and smooth. I love that it actually has a decent amount of exfoliant material in it so that you don't need to use more than a small blob each time. It will definitely be a repeat buy for me.
Worst product I've used
I bought this in hopes it would clear up the acne I have. (Not much just some on my cheeks and chin) I used it for two days and that was it. My skin looks and feels terrible. There are bumps all under my skin that I can feel and see, it burns and is so dry. I have taken benadryl in hopes it can help clear this mess up but so far it hasn't. Don't let the good reviews fool you..this product is definitely not for everyone. I highly recommend testing a very small area for afew days before using all over your face so you don't have the same experience I have had. I just hope my skin clears up soon.
Great product
I only use it around my nose because I have sensitive skin. Really removes dead skin and some black heads. Don't use this product everyday because it is really harsh.

Does St Ives test their products on animals?
1 answer
The following link leads me to believe they do, which is devastating, because I do like their exfoliant, but i love animals more. Http://peta.vg/1ks9#StopAnimalTests
They have a document listing brands that still do and brands that do not. Brands not on one of the lists are said to not be determined as yet.
Check it out, it's really worrying.
