St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

...armour... I recently tried St Ives hair conditioner and as that was quite good I thought that it might be worth trying some of their other products. Enter St Ives invigorating Apricot Scrub. They also do a slightly different version of this called Blemish Control Apricot Scrub. I dunno what the difference is as I havent tried the other one. The Scrub is packaged in an orange-peachy coloured bottle with a blue flip-top lid. It's a fairly large bottle, ...
...150mls of the facial scrub, so it lasts quite a while, so far it has lasted me about three months and I can probably squeeze a couple more weeks-worth out of it. The Apricot scrub is made with 100% natural exfoliants and it says on the packaging that “it cleans deep into pores and gently removes dull, dead skin cells to instantly reveal noticeably smooth, radiant, healthier looking skin. In just one use you can see and feel the difference”. ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

...when I came across this St Ives invigorating Apricot Scrub. I’d used St Ives products before such as body lotions and cleansing wipes and had no problem so decided to buy this face scrub. St Ives is known for its Swiss Formula. This Scrub comes in an orangey apricot bottle with a blue lid, which is easily flipped open! The tube contains 150mls; I’m still on my first tube after a month and will expect it to last for a least another. The Apricot scrub ...
...product. I bought my St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub from superdrug when the range was on offer I paid £1.99 for it but I think usual price is around £3.99. Although if you get your selves down to superdrug before the 23rd of March they have 40% of this product which isn’t bad!! I know the St Ives range is also available from boots. Similar Products from the St Ives range are *Gentle Apricot Scrub *Medicated Scrub *Hand/Foot Scrub More information ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

I think that I should make something clear before I start - this is a review of a facial scrub that is being written by a bloke. So, yes girls we do use them secretly. Good! that's that out of the way then. I am in the fortunate position of being married with two (as good as) grown up daughters. As a result, the shelf in the shower compartment is constantly adorned with an ever changing supply of exotic sounding shampoos, conditioners and other ...
...my boring block of unscented plain white soap that sits alone in it's small plastic receptacle and venture into the forest of multi-coloured elegantly packaged delights that stand just to the left. One day, whilst rummaging through the forest I came across the St. Ives scrub. "Hmmm!" I thought " will this be any good?" After a particularly grotty, grimy or otherwise unsatisfactory day at work I like to give the old boat race a really good scrub ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

When i first used this face scrub i was amazed, it was the first time i'd used one and i couldn't belive the fresh feeling it left me with. The fresh new skin feeling and the invograting smell made me feel amazing and i new that i had discovered something fantastic! I've tried a few scince then and no other compares to this one as the very sandy texture really does "scrub" your face, thats why i don't think you should try this for sensative skin. ...
...really try this out as i don't think you can find a better face wash than this to give you that feeling. Now some people say that this is a good sized container but i have always found it to be small. It only lasts me just over a couple of weeks and i hate thinking about being careful how much i use but then it is relativly cheap and can be found on offer all over the place so this makes it a really good deal. One of the problems i find with this ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

...that flaky skin. After seeing St Ives facial scrubs advertised on TV, I decided I had nothing to lose by trying it. Within a week I saw the difference. The scrub is brown (that must be the apricots) and bitty (as you would expect with an exfoliating product). You wet your face and neck and massage the product into the skin. It is then rinsed off, ready for moisturiser. This product really does smooth your skin and it improved my dull complexion ...
...product. The scrub comes in an apricot-coloured tube, with a helpful picture of an apricot on the front (in case you were in any doubt that this product is made with apricots). The tube has a convenient flip lid which it rests on when closed. There is 150ml in the tube and I find that this lasts about 2-3 months with one application per day. I bought my last tube of scrub from a local chemist for £2.99, which seems to be about the average price ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

I have been using this product since I was 15! I used to have a bad skin when young and used to feel ashame of my face. I had problems with my skin because I could not stand a spot on my face and always ended up by infecting them. By then I have tried every single product in the market. Suddenly, one day I found this scrub and though "why not give it a try?". The results were just amazing! I know the product is not for spots but it did help me to ...
...until my skin stop getting those awful spots and blackheads and since then...I have been using this product for ages! Even before it actually got to the UK I used to ask my mother to post it for me. I do recommend this product. It does help with blemishes. It has small grains that actually rub your face taking the death cells out of the skin. Also smells nice and you can actually feel a sort of minty action going on. If you decide to give it a try ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

...to buy a tube of St I ves apricot scrub.It was £3.99 for about 150ml,buy one get one free.So that went straight into my bulging basket of stuff that I will try once and never use again. The tube is made of fairly thin plastic with an easy to open flip cap.The labelling is very clear and unconfusing,as our most of the St I ves range of products. Upon opening and squeezing,you are presented with a paste with pieces of ground walnut shell with a vague ...
...freshening your face,and you only need a tiny amount.However if you have dry or sensitive skin,dont use it!It is far too harsh for any type of delicate skin. I would also recommend that you use it only once a week.Something this harsh can damage your skin rather than help it..so you have been warned. I now am using it as a body scrub.It is far more effective and as far as im concerned is far too harsh for delicate facial skin. ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

I've been using this product for years and can honestly say it is the best face wash I have used. I've tried other products but have always gone back to this. It says on the back that it is made from 100% natural ingredients and made using a swiss formula. This is reasonably priced too - approximately £4.20 in Superdrug and can be found in some supermarkets. I can't always find this is Boots though but that's not a bad thing as it's probably sold ...
...in colour and full of sandy grains, I think that's the apricot kernals. After wetting my face I apply a small amount onto my hands and massage onto my face. With this I find a little goes a long way. It doesn't lather up into foam but it does spread over my face quite well. As you are massaging this over your face you can feel the small grainy bits moving across your skin. These are used to remove any dirt and dead skin and reveal fresher skin underneath. ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

...had a wash with the St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub. For the first time in ages I actually felt clean (well my body was anyway...). I'd not just used it on my face, but on my shoulders and back, and they all felt like they'd been rubbed in Vicks or something. When I went downstairs my boyfriend commented on how nice it was of me to have put make up on for him. I explained that there was nothing man made on my skin, and he was suprised. He said ...
...does when I put expensive foundation on. I am pleased to say that I have since noticed the difference too, and during the time that I've been using it, many of my spots have disappeared. There is one warning though: those with dry or sensitive skin may want to only use a little of this, or even use the sensitive version; it made my cheeks fairly dry. ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

this product was excellent in removing my dead skin cells in just ONE try. It left my skin glowing and extremely smooth, my skin is not so sensitive so it did react harshly as it would to more sensitive skin. it feels heavenly also i do recommend this product to people with oily skin. It made it smell wonderful!! ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

...have to admit I bought St Ives because it was on sale( We love Superdrug) and since then I have not looked back. All of us girls know, looking good does not come cheap! There is always that little treat you want to go for and brand awareness is not on the cards because there is sooo much to choose from. But since that time when I first bought St Ives I have not looked back and bought another product. Why? -- It lasts for ever -- Based on the ...
...little squosh goes a long way and your skin is left feeling soft --It definetely removes dead skins -- Its good even if you are one of those people that scrub away and forget when to stop, it is gente enough Would I recommend it to all my friends? I already have. It is truely fabulous product! ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

If your skin feels dry or bitty, and needs a good scub, then use this. Using it makes my skin feel smooth and almost raw! It does exactly what it says on the tub. I would recomend this as a weekly treatment, there when you need it the most. It would not be appropriate for sensitive skin since the large grains make it rought on the skin - and it is certainly annoying to rinse off - there always seems to be at least a bit of grains left over afterwards ...

Review of St Ives Invigorating Apricot Scrub

...also say that the whole St Ives range in great value for money and this face scrub at £2.99 for a tube which lasts twice a day for a month is fantastic value. I tried the version for sensitive skin, which has a slightly less potent fragrance but is also very reccommendable to people who may react to 'the hardstuff'. All in all, St Ives Apricot Scrub is a 'face saver' to all women out there and i highly reccomend you start to use it as the difference ...
