A great scrub for weekly use, way to rough to be used daily. It gets the job done of removing dead and dry skin and leaving skin feeling clean and smooth. I use this a few times a month when I notice dry flakes, and it helps so much. Be very gentle rubbing this in, and don't overuse it. A pea size goes a long way, and it will last you a long long time! I just wish the beads were a little more gentle and less abrasive.

I have this scrub in the sensitive formulation. I really enjoy this line of scrubs and like that they lather and you only need a small amount to cover your whole face (about the size of 2 peas for reference). It makes the cleaning more effective because it helps the beads glide around your face better. My face looks great after I use this stuff too, healthy and luminous. I would recommend this to every skin type, as they have so many different formulas for this product.

This product gave me scars along my jawline from regular usage over around a year. I initial;ly thought my shampoo was the problem, the scars kept on coming as I stopped using the shampoos, conditioners ... anything else I could think might be to blame.

But no, it's definitely this.

This product does its job. It removes all dead skin, I would recommend using it in the shower because it is a little difficult to wash completely off in the sink. I use it weekly when my skin is feeling a little dry and flaky.

I really like this product & have been using it for 30+ years. I use it in the shower as needed to combat flaky skin (sides of nose are my worst spot). I have dry skin so that's usually 2 days a week. There is probably a better product out there but this smells good, is cheap, easy to find & it works for me.

I've been using this for years and I just keep coming back to it. I've tried off-brand versions and even pricier versions and this is hands down the best. I like that the scrub is nice and thick and doesn't have too much of a creamy filler. I don't find this to be too abrasive for my skin, but I might tell someone with sensitive skin to be weary of it. It does a great job of sloughing off all the dead skin on my face and really getting all the oil off, especially around the corners of my nose.

I definitely would stay away from this product if you have very dry, sensitive skin or at least try one of the milder, less harsh versions of this product; Such as St.Ives apricot scrub gentle sensitive skin. I have combination, oil and acne prone skin. This product works wonders for me when used only a few times a week at night time. NOT everyday. I like to use it in the shower when my pores are open. It really gets in and cleans out all the dirt and filth under your skin and all these excess dead skin and oil. When I start getting little bumps from my acne on my forehead or nose, etc. the apricot scrub helps to smooth down the bumps and reduce redness. It works amazingly before bed, with a moisturizer. I wake up with squeaky clean feeling, baby smooth skin and hardly any redness or bumps. I go through these bottles pretty fast, but they are not expensive. I have been using this scrub for years now. Definitely recommend to anyone, especially with acne prone skin.

I admit that this isn't something you should use every day, as it really is quite rough. That being said, when I worked at a summer camp, I DID use this every day, because it was the only thing that could scour my face of dirt, sweat, and grime at the end of the day. I'd say that it's definitely something you should use after exercise or anything dirty...otherwise, stick to once a week or so to get excess oil/dead skin off your face.

P.S. Don't squeeze the bottle too hard or it'll crack on the sides, which is quite annoying.

I personally disliked this product for a while because it made me break out A LOT. It is also very harsh for sensitive skin. Lately my skin has been adjusting to it and it made my skin very soft. For my best friend it works great because she doesn't have acne-prone skin, nor sensitive skin. If you have extremely sensitive skin i would not recommend this scrub.

While the product is value-for-money, I think it's just way too harsh on sensitive / dry skin! The sediments in it are pretty large and while during exfoliating it actually feels like it would remove whatever buildup there is, the post-wash experience isn't very nice: it's dry and my skin feels cakey and tight! Therefore...I don't really like the product? But for the price, it's definitely worth it. Either way, wouldn't use it again because I think its not suitable for my skin-type : dry and sensitive

This product is not expensive but for the price it is really good. Sure the texture of it can be rough and sometimes irritating to the skin, but I like that because it makes it feel like it has actually exfoliated my skin and gotten rid of old skin cells.


The packaging isn't the best since product can get left in the tube, but it does last me a long time since I only need to use about a quarter sized amount to cover my whole face.

All in all, a cheap, quick fix for rough skin.

Somehow I impression I see this product ubiquitously. Not precisely mind candy. If you want my comprehensive truthful judgment this is a shitty product camouflaged in a somewhat cute packing. The consistency is unbalanced which can literally be too much for the skin so if you still feel the need to try this product : be delight ,don’t get over eager. Why not just save up the bucks and devote for some apposite scrub?

I used this as a teen though I had no acne, just blackheads. I mistakenly believed they could be scrubbed away so the harsher the scrubbing the better. I used to love this stuff, it was in all the teen magazines too. I loved the idea more than the performance as it didn't do much for my skin. As an adult I realize scrubbing with irregular shaped, hard little bits is too abrasive for me.

This scrub has saved my life. It really helps my acne prone skin and gets rid of most oils on my face. It's super inexpensive, it's around $3.99 in Canada. The only downside to this product is that whenever I have big red blemishes on my cheeks, the scrub dries it out a lot and makes my skin flake. That can be fixed by using a good moisturizer though. But overall, I will be repurchasing it every time I run out.

I tried this scrub out when I was 16 and my face wanted to break out. It was very harsh on my skin and made me red and also made my breakout worse. Not good for acne prone skin. Best to use maybe once a week to scrape off dead skin, but other than that it didn't work out for me.

This is my favourite store exfoliant, it smells really nice and is very inexpensive. I have sensitive acne prone skin and this really helps balance my skin out when I've had a bad break out, it makes me feel really fresh and smooth. I do only use it once or twice a week because it is kind of harsh on my sensitive skin, I also use it on my underarms before shaving and it REALLY helps get a good close shave and lessen the shadow under my arms. And I also use it on my lips when they are feeling flaky. Make sure to moisturize your face after you use this because it could get you really dry, especially in the winter! But I buy tubs of these all the time and they last forever, love it, I'd recommend this to everyone.

I love this scrub! It helps control oil and leaves skin feeling silky smooth. I do have some dry patches, so I cannot use it to often. The dry areas need to be well moisturized after using this. Also, be careful not to use to it frequently as it could become irritating. Great value for the price.

I really wanted to love this product, because I read so many great reviews about it, but I couldn't:( First of all it is not a natural or organic product so if you have sensitive skin it wouldn't be the best choice. It made my dry skin so dry, that I got eczema. My friend has combination skin and it dried her skin as well. I guess it's rather for very oily skin. And I couldn't really smell apricot, which is my favourite fruit, but I guess at the end of the day it's better not to have very scented products.

I love this. It helps control oil the next day. It makes skin so soft and smooth, makeup goes on better. WARNING: if you have sensitive skin, be very careful not too scrub for too long. Youll damage your skin. I have been using this for years
