Good for if you have less sensitive skin!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I feel like this might be too much for someone’s skin, but finally st Ives has a cleanser that isn’t a physical cleanser! I feel like because it’s a bit strong, for someone with mildly sensitive skin, I have to use it every other day or once every two days. I do see it helping my acne a little though! I would recommend to people with less sensitive skin.

Wonderful
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I haven't used St Ives since high school, so it has been a few years. I forgot how rough the apricot pieces were, but honestly, I think they will be great for winter dry skin I have been exercising more and with not always being able to shower right after, the sweat left on my skin has been causing some breakouts so I am optimistic that using this face wash will be helpful.

Happy skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This has been working really well on my skin. I thought that since it was scented, it would irritate me, but it just added some razzle dazzle! The scent is barely noticeable and it feels very natural on the face. My skin was recovering from a break out, so this helped gently remove the dead skin. I’m so happy I was sent this and can’t wait to get more.

Helps my post baby acne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I was younger I used St Ives a lot because I like the exfoliant when washing my face. As I got older I did not need it as much because I didn’t breakout as bad. After my second baby, I noticed acne coming back. So trying this has helped my skin loads. I only use it twice a week so far, but for my skin that is plenty! The smell is fantastic as well.

Fresh and clean!
The St. Ives face scrub was a staple when I was a teenager and I love the addition of the salicylic acid! The little scrubbing beads exfoliate and give your face that fresh clean feeling.

Blast from the past
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Takes me back to high school, when St.Ives was my consistent go to! With stress ramping up in life again, it was a perfect time to get this to try and remember how I enjoyed it. It feels like it truly exfoliates and the scrub doesn’t hurt. I will say it can be a pain to rinse slightly but having used it before I had an idea. It doesn’t feel like it dried me out as much as I remember it previously. It’s been nice to use on self care nights when I’m doing a full routine.

I loved
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the consistency. But I don’t recommend it for sensitive skin. Although it is for skin with acne prone, it does not dry out the skin, it keeps it hydrated. But it works perfectly, it removes all the dead skin. I received this product in exchange for my opinion.

Not for thin skin
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love St. Ives products, especially for my acne prone skin. This facial wash was a little too abrasive for my skin and did too good of a job exfoliating. It's much better suited for my boyfriend who has thicker and rough skin. He enjoys this facial wash.

Acne prone skin face wash
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Smells great and works well for acne prone skin. Had salicylic acid, which works well to help with breakouts. Not too harsh on the skin. Packaging is easy to use and looks nice sitting with the rest of my skincare.

••••
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I know why the bottle says to use it 2-3 times a week. The beads it definitely exfoliate lol. It’s smells really good! I’m not a huge fan of apricot but I liked the smell. Super easy to use!

It's ok
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's alright. It did burn my face a bit. Before I rubbed it in. It's kinda rough. I know it is a deep one. I don't think I would buy it. It's aggressive.

Silky smooth
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Texture of the scrub feels a bit rough but when applied to the face and washed away. Your skin is left with a smooth plumped touch to it. Does not have a strong oder just ever so light.

My skin thanks me!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After switching to this from my usual face wash, my skin has been thanking me. The abrasion of this formula is minimum but just enough for my gentle skin. I have acne prone skin so the softer formula and salicylic acid helps to balance my skin tone out while not agitating the small cystic acne I get. The packaging is really cute, the scent is actually really nice! It is slightly more sunscreen scented than the original st.ive’s apricot but I can still smell the original formula . Overall super happy with the product and how my skin reacts to it!

Smells so good
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this face scrub as part of my morning routine, and it’s something I always look forward to. I use it first thing in the shower to gently exfoliate and wake my skin up. The scrub leaves my face feeling clean, smooth, and refreshed without that tight, dry feeling. I love how it helps remove dead skin so my moisturizer and makeup go on better afterward. The light, fresh scent is energizing and perfect for mornings. It’s simple, affordable, and effective, making it a staple in my daily skincare routine. Sometimes my skin can be sensitive and this hasn’t caused any adverse reactions for me.

Penetrate pores and fight acne
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I fell back in love with St. Ives because of this product. It smells so good and is super affordable especially by today’s prices! Only recommend it to be used 2-3x a week as it’s such a great exfoliant. Will be repurchasing and highly recommend.
