This scrub works very well without too strong of a smell. Its quite effective at clearing up stubborn acne because of the salycilic acid in it. Its very easy to use while you’re showering which makes it quite convenient.

I like that this gives a good exfoliation but it does scratch skin pretty good if you have sensitive skin this isn't for you. it does improve texture and helps with acne.

Not effective against my acne in the slightest bit, texture is hard and does not dissolve. Smells good but otherwise I wouldn’t try this product again.

Love this! I use this scrub 3x a week to help control minor breakouts. It is a great value for the money. I love the scent and the texture. You don’t have to use too much to reap the benefits. A must have scrub.

Refreshing

3 out of 5 stars
- 4 months ago
originally posted on influenster.com
I love the creaminess and fresh smell to it. Unfortunately, it's not the best for sensitive skin as the exfoliation is too much, not doing much for my acne. But I have used it on my body where I have pimples or needs some scrub, and it's great for that. It leaves the skin feeling relaxed and soft afterwards. Such a shame because it really is a nice product.

I have used St. Ives products all my life since I was a teenager. I have sensitive skin, but use this product daily with no issues. Good product, reasonable price. Great exfoliater to keep skin fresh and clean. After using this product my skin is so much softer and brighter.

Effective scrub.

I absolutely love this apricot kernel scrub. It's a product that costs very little and there's quite a lot of it in the packaging, but how many skin problems it solves. When you need to quickly cleanse your skin, create a well-groomed look, this scrub is better than luxury products. You just need to apply it on the skin and gently massage it on your face for a couple of minutes, it is important to do everything carefully so as not to damage the skin. The texture is very pleasant, it washes off easily. After scrubbing I recommend applying a moisturising mask or cream to fix the result.

Works well to prevent acne

Thumbs up graphic, would recommend
Marlinee - 5 months ago
I’ve used this since I was very young and I’ve never had acne until I stopped using this in my early 20s. I tried all the trendy products and expensive brands but all it did was irritate my skin and break me out. The expensive products gave me pores which I’ve never had. I decided to buy this and see how it goes. Hopefully my skin clears up after using this again

This is the best scrub ever!

I've been using St.Ives for a while. I can't find the pink lemonade and mandarin one in stores anymore, which is a shame because that not only helped my acne, but also helped with general aging and fine lines. I found this again, and I've been using it every day.since then. This helps keep my oily skin at bay, clears up my acne, and doesn't irritate my sensitive skin. Other scrubs, from other drug stores brands to higher end brands, will irritate my sensitive skin, make it oilier, and cause my acne to flare up bad. Not this stuff! Plus, it gets deep in my pores to deliver salicylic acid, an acne fighting ingredient. I always come back to this because this scrub makes my skin look and feel amazing.

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t

cassidyb100 - 8 months ago

This used to be my go to face scrub when I was having a break out. I loved that it had a fruity smell rather than just being engulfed in nothing but chemical smells. The bottles always seemed to have the perfect amount in them to last a good chunk of time and I absolutely love the little scrubby beads that are in it!! My only complaint is that this seemed to be a 50/50 acne scrub. Sometimes it would take care of acne with a snap of your fingers while other times it didn’t do a single thing. Not sure if other has the same experience but I know for me it just didn’t always get the job done.

This is a must have for my skin routine. I always feel like I’ve gotten a facial after using it. I typically use a scrub twice a week and it leaves my skin so smooth. My job has a tendency to dry my skin out and this leaves it with I nice glow.
