This is my favorite scrub. It really makes a difference. My skin always looks brighter when I use it. It really does help keep breakouts away.

When I use this scrub I get a tingly feeling, which I like very much. It feels like it's working. I've been using this for over a week and I haven't had a major breakout, that's cool. I use it with the Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. My skin is smoother and it doesn't get irritated by the granules. I will continue to use it and see how well it works in the long run. Would repurchase for sure.

I bought this product after reading some good reviews for it on this site. I have liked the results I've had with it. It is easy to apply and rinses off easily. My face feels really good after using this scrub. It does seem to help with my stubborn acne. I'd say give it a try.

This one is the best so far. I like the regular but this one has that extra helper ingrediant. It leaves my skin perfect and free of dead skin. My next to try is the sensitve skin one, you never know it might work better. I'll try any thing once, just to see if it will work, or better! If not oh well. I can always swap it :)

This works great on the backs of arms to remove those little bumps. Doesn't smell real good, though, and you have to clean the shower afterwards.

I really like using this scrub. I use it after I cleanse my face. I put some on a BuffPuff and scrub. It really leaves my skin feeling fresh and clean. Plus, my family gets little bumps on our cheeks and on the back of our arms, and scrubbing with the buffpuff and scrub made them disappear. You should definitely try this.

Apricot scrub has that tingly feeling that I love :) Good for that all day work/skewl wash :) I use Got2be spa in the morning too.
Apricot Scrub body wash is great too!

This is the first facial scrub I've tried. And I'm really happy I chose this one! Great price, excellent packaging, and I got the results I was looking for. Clean, smooth, soft skin. It controls oil, and seems to be working well for my blemishes. I use this 3-4 times a week, in conjunction with the St. Ives Medicated Apricot Facial Cloths, which are also by far the best too. I also like that cold, tingly feeling. The beads or whatever they are, are a little rough, and does leave my skin red for a bit after I use it (this is why I use it in the evening). But I don't really care, because I still get the results. And my skin doesn't seem to be dried out.

I like this scrub as much as the regular Invigorating Apricot scrub from this same line, but I now like this one even better. It has a somewhat medicinal smell to it, but it works just as well the regular apricot scrub, plus, it leaves a cool, tingly feeling on your skin similar to Noxzema without the left over residue. Great for keeping acne at bay. Love this! I will be buying this medicated version instead of the original from now on.

This product was great for my combination skin. From the very first time I used it, I could see a difference. It made my skin more rediant and glowing, and even without a lotion, it didn't dry out my skin. It was pretty gritty though and a little rough on my face the first couple times, but I still love this!

The scrub itself is great but if you are having a breakout don't use it because the pimples will just get irritated. It does leave your skin feeling soooooooft, but as for the acne-fighting properties, i've been using this once a week (too rough for everyday) for a few months and haven't noticed much difference. Still, it's cheap so I'll buy it again, though it's not my HG...

Best scrub I've ever used! I have very oily skin thats fairly sensitve to harsh products, yet the walnuts in this only made my skin clearer, less oily, and more "glowy".

This scrub is excellent! It leaves your skin feeling as smooth as a baby's bottom. The smell is not fantastic, but all in all it could smell worse. It comes in a convenient tube. Not to mention that it is dirt cheap. Especially compared to the other scrubs that you can purchase for much more moula. I'm not sure about using this everyday.. and I would definitely seek an alternative if you have sensitive skin. But for a $3 scrub that you can find at all major drugstores and groceries.. it is an excellent product! P.S. Read the back of the bottle.. walnut shell powder.. find something else for sensitive skin. This is why many of the reviews talk about the abrasiveness.. b/c of the walnuts.

I love this product. It may be a little rough if you move your hands too briskly but it's just perfect for me. It keeps my face really smooth and pimple-free.

Yep, this is great. I use it on my face and the difference of the first wash was so noticeable. My skin was so much smoother. Cleared up my acne too. Will buy again. Also, has smart packaging so that you can use every last bit.

I've been using this for years and have never found a better scrub, especially for my chest and back back which get the occasional clogged pore. I use it 1- 2 times a week on my face, but gently, as I have acne and sensitive skin.
Any exfoliator that has little peices in it can potentially tear your pores, so be careful!
Another thing to note...if you have oily skin, exfoliating everyday can make your skin oilier because your skin will overcompensate for the stripping that can be caused by over-exfoliation. The most you should do is once a day, but generally you only need to exfoliate your skin 2-3 times a week.
