This is a good body wash, overall. Smells good, lathers fine, and doesn't strip moisture from my skin. For the price, you can't go wrong.

The only thing I don't like about this is the scent. It's a bit too artificial smelling for me so minus one lippy. Other than that, I think it's a pretty good product. Lathers well and is rather rich so you only need the smallest amount. The exfoliating beads are not harsh, infact I don't find it really does much since it washes away in the water so quickly. This doesn't dry out my skin though. Probably won't buy this particular scent again, but definitely others from the line.

I love this! Lathers well and doesn't dry out my skin. The granules aren't harsh or rough so that is also a plus. Smells a little artificial though, nothing like the apricot face scrub. Pretty cheap where I live too. Can get it for around $4 NZD on sale. :)

I love this stuff! It does everything it says it'll do. It smells heavenly, and doesn't dry me out in the winter.

The st.Ives apricot line is awesome! this body wash smells great like real apricots but better! What i really like is how it lasts for a couple of hours. The beads are not too harsh on my skin which is dry and i get a squeaky clean feel after this. Now my skin feels softer thanks to this product. i need like a loonie amount of this but the bottle is 532ml so it will definitely lasts me a long long time. After that, i going to buy more of this.
Price: $5CAD at shoppers drug mart (sale)

Been using this since st.ives started the new image thing. love this body wash! makes my skin smooth and clean. i also love that after a shower the smell stays on you for a couple hours which is nice =) lasts long too; i'd say one bottle of this will last me about a month or 2.

I am SO impressed with this product. I have very acne-prone skin, and this stuff has cleared my back up completely (and kept it clear for months now--something loofahs, soap, and other body washes couldn't do). To top it all off, it smells great, is super cheap, and leaves me feeling clean. I love it!

This stuff smells great, but that's about it. It's incredibly drying, so if you're skin is even slightly on the dry side, it'll make it much worse. It doesn't lather very well - I find that I have to use a lot to cover my whole body. I'll give it a three just because it's cheap and smells good, but I'm definitely going back to the Oatmeal and Shea Butter one. It's a thousand times better.

Love it. Buying it in the big bottle lasts FOREVER. I use every day and have a sneaky feeling my mum uses it too and I have had the same bottle for SIX MONTHS. Does a good job exfoliating and lathers up well, smells more like watermelon starburst lollipops to me but whatever, its still nice and not too overpowering.

Makes me feel squeaky clean and leaves my skin feeling soft! I can't say this smell like apricot but found it smells like Cantalope to me...sort of like a lighter scent of Fruits and Passion Orange and Cantalope but not so over powering-doesn't linger after a shower. I find it's gentle enough to use everyday and does contain harsh beads like a scrub- I use this with exfoliating gloves.


It's pretty cheap and lasts a long time. I bought a huge bottle for $4 CAD at the superstore. I will likely buy this again but want to try some of the other body washes St. Ives has (got the Oatmeal and Shea Butter this time because of the scent)

Another fabulous St Ives body wash. It's really cheap, moisturises well and has exfoliating beads in it too. The beads don't do a great job of exfoliating-but for everyday use they're great. Otherwise use exfoliating gloves a couple of times a week with this body wash and your skin will love you.

If I could do a "splurge vs. steal" type story for a magazine, it might be something like this:
Splurge: The Body Shop's Satsuma Body Polish ($18.00)
Steal: St. Ives Moisturizing Exfoliating Apricot Body Scrub ($4.00)

This is an excellent foaming, scrubbing body wash. The fragrance is a little sweet but very fresh and clean. There are just enough exfoliants, but not too many - you can use this every day. My skin feels smooth, soft, and squeeky clean when I use this.

I loved TBS's Satsuma Body Polish - energizing, soft, sweet, fresh, and my skin was very smooth and soft after using it. But the St Ives is very comparable for a fraction of the price, which means I can use this just about every time I shower.

Mmm... this stuff is a delightful inexpensive great smelling body wash. I really like the soft fruity scent and it lingers a bit after showering before fading which is just what I expect it to do. The only issue is it says exfoliating.. but the beads are so gentle you can't really feel any difference from a regular gel body wash! The apricot facial scrubs from St. Ives are a helluva lot more exfoliating (dare I say, even skin ripping). This gentle body wash is perfect for every day use but I would recommend a different product if your main intended use for it was exfoliation.

This stuff is pretty good, it leaves my skin feeling soft and smooth and the exfoliating beads aren't too rough. It lathers up really nicely too so a little goes a long way. I'm not crazy about the scent; it's not bad, I'm just kind of bored with it after almost finishing the bottle. I would consider buying this again, since it gets the job done and is good value for your money.
