Please keep making it & do not modify the ingredients / ratios / texture. It is perfect & judging from internet reviews across diverse sites, I am one of several hundreds globally who depend on it. I have male friends who use too. I use it daily in summer & alternate days in winte r and even if I was a billionaire, I would not replace it.

I don't care what reviews and vloggers are saying. I have been using this since the 80's and have no issues. it's cheap and easy to find, it does what I want it to do when I need a deep down clean and a smooth canvas, and frankly that might be the reason why Gen X'ers still look youthful-Better than using wet sandpaper anyway🤣

I've been using this product a couple of times per week for years. It is priced very reasonably, and leaves my face feeling smooth and renewed. I'm so glad it hasn't disappeared like so many great products seem to do.

Like the product. I’ve used it for many years. I no longer need it to clear acne but it does give a deep down light exfoliation each day!
Very good!

The gentle formula works well for sensitive skin, removing dead skin cells and revealing a brighter complexion with regular use. The packaging is practical and convenient, featuring a flip-top cap that makes it easy to dispense the product without wastage. It’s not overwhelming, making it suitable for those with sensitivity to strong fragrances.: Formulated with natural ingredients like rose water and aloe vera, this scrub provides hydration and nourishment to the skin while exfoliating. Free from harsh chemicals, it offers a clean and gentle option for skincare enthusiasts seeking a more natural approach.
Gives smooth finish!

I have been using this for many years and still love this scrub. I have acne prone skin. It feels so good after using it. I use this scrub once in a week and it keeps acne away from me. It’s an acne saver for me. I would highly recommend this product.

I love the scent of this scrub and overall it does the job what an average scrub would do- exfoliation. But I feel like the beads in this scrub can be a bit too harsh if you’re scrubbing aggressively. For gentle scrubbing its okay otherwise it can cause micro tears on your skin. I prefer those scrubs which dissolve into the skin unlike this one

I have been using this product for years and I had to have to try different products to see what worked for my face. I was satisfied and now the product has changed. My face and neck broke out badly. I have been searching for the old product and have not had any luck. Please St. Ives give people an option to use the old product for the people who it worked for.

Do not use this product. It’s terrible for your skin! There are many other ways of exfoliating your skin without using this!! Research and find another alternative.
