Review: St. Ives Timeless Skin Apricot Scrub

By Kerker @sparklingker
Happy Tuesday!! Glad Monday is over with! I've been using St. Ives Timeless Skin Apricot Scrub for about 8 months now and found it to be quite a good exfoliator to have around the bathroom. 
According to St. Ives "This Apricot Scrub with gentle alpha hydroxy, visibly tones and firms, revealing younger-looking skin."



Application:
 Use once or twice a week. Moisten face with water, squirt some onto your finger tips and massage onto face using circular motions. Wash off once you're done.
Additional info:
  • Made in Australia
  • RRP $9.95 AUD (150ml)
  • Availability: Big W, Priceline, pharmacies, large retailers
  • Not tested on animals

What I like:

  • Exfoliating beads aren't too scratchy
  • I love exfoliators where you can feel the beads, for some reason if I cant feel it, I think its not working lol
  • Lovely apricot scent
  • Leaves skin feeling smooth
  • Formulated without parabens and phthalates
  • Affordable

What I dislike:
  • May not be suitable for really sensitive skin

Overall: Although the packaging says you can use this 3-4 times a week, I wouldn't. Initially, when I first bought this I used it every second day and found that it makes me skin feel really tight and it was starting to get a little flaky. I reduced it to once or twice a week and it was much better, no more flaky or tight skin. This is a pretty good exfoliator for it's price and I would buy again.
Have you tried St. Ives Apricot Scrub? What did you think?
