Shopping at the commissary today I found a travel size of this apricot scrub. From the description on the back of this tub it says:
"From America's #1 Scrub brand, this award-winning Apricot Scrub deep cleans instantly leaving skin smooth and glowing."
It got me very curious and wondered how well it would work on my skin. Silly me forgot my Paula Choice skincare products back in Hawaii and instead of buying new bottles, I decided that I should see what other products are out there that could assist with my skin. I was just wondering if any of you have tried this scrub. Does it work well? How long did it take for you to notice any difference? If you did not like it, why not? I will also post a review on this after a few weeks of testing it out on me.
Thanks for reading,

I love this! only facial scrub I use, along with their microdermabrasion one.
It works very well but be super careful because not to get it in your eyes, its a pain. I've also know someone to cut their eye using it because the particles are so hard. Other than that, its a great product. Sorry if I scared ya lol
you'll immediately feel the difference after one scrub, but I dont like using it frequently. I feel like its stripping new healing skin. well, thats what I think. and I've read that fruit scrubs are not that good because of the big chunks like that apricot one..
I love this scrub! I'm not sure if it does all it says it does, but it cleans my face and I love how smooth and clean my skin feels after washing. I wish it helped with blackheads though.
This is the only exfoliator that I've used for almost an entire year. :) Proper exfoliation with this has helped control my acne even though I just use the skin brightening one! My complexion is definitely brighter and it helps control the size of the pores on my nose. My face just feels clean and smooth! I definitely like it.
this is probably one of the best scrubs i've ever used. It clears out surface blackheads (doesn't do anything for deeper ones) and really really smooths out my skin. If you feel this one is too harsh I can also recommend the Green Tea version - it has finer grains and less salicylic acid. LOVE LOVE LOVE St. Ives
I had this, but DANG it was rough! I ended up using it for my body instead. Good thing its versatile haha.
I've been using this facial scrub for years now and I must say it is great for a scrub! You can even use it on your feet!
I haven't used this in a while but I used it religiously a few years back. It worked great for me and left my skin very smooth and soft. Hope you end up liking it and look forward to reading the review :)
I've been using this product for years and years and still love it. It's the only exfoliating scrub that does it for me. I'm sure there are others, but I figured why fix it if it aint broke haha. Hopefully you love it as well!!

I use this about 1-2 times a week. At first I didn't really feel much of a different but after about 2 - 3 weeks I noticed the dry patchy flaking skin on my cheeks were smoother and not flaking much. For some odd reason my skin feels really refereshed and soft after a scrub with this as well :p I like it and i've being using it for a year now
I've tried this scrub. you can check out my review here.

I've never tried it, but many love it :)
I used to love this scrub! Then my skin got too sensitive, so i haven't used it in years. Looking forward to hearing what you think of it!
I used it before, but I think it got to be too rough after a while. Hope it works out for you, though!
I used to love this...and then I grew to dislike it. It was my go-to in my highschool years
I've used this one (and still do on occasion) but had to switch to the one for sensitive skin. I found I have better results if I use it with a wash cloth rather than just my fingers.
The regular one is too harsh for my face. I did find the regular one to be an excellent exfoliator for pedicures and to use on your legs before self tanning.
Lol Yay! I'm glad to hear you love this scrub. =D
Yeah I heard. =D Do you use something similar to this?
Oh no! =( Are you using a different scrub now?
Aww, sorry to hear hun. If it doesn't work I'll just use it on my body. Lol.
Eeeks! Why did you dislike it?
OH! Thanks for sharing. I'll use your washcloth method too. =D
It was too harsh for my face but I use it as a body exfoliator...go easy with it at first :)
Love St. Ives products, I've been using them for years!!
This is ok, but you can find better. I used this for years, but it can be a bit harsh. And don't believe the packaging that says it is "natural"; it is full of SLS.
This stuff is extremely popular and has been ever since I can remember. My mom has used it my whole life. The problem though is that it is very coarse. A lot of people recommend it, but you have to be careful with it because it tears up your skin, and can actually make your pores look larger. It is better to use finer grained exfoliates, but I am sure if you don't scrub too hard, and only use sparsely you should be fine. i personally like to use it as a body scrub in the summer if I run out of my sugar scrub or something.
Thanks for the tip hun!
Oh yay! Well I'm glad to be another St. Ives user. Lol
Oh! What else would you recommend?
Thanks for the tip hun! I really appreciate it.
I use to have this a few months ago and i really enjoy it
Yay! I'm happy to hear
