About St.Ives Apricot cleanser ?is it good for the face?
I use the facial cleanser every day and the apricot scrub 2-3 times a week. Don't scrub the scrub (unless using on feet, then go to town!), just lightly smooth it over skin and wash away. Scrubbing too hard will cause redness and dryness. I also use the scrub over my entire body once a week to keep my skin smooth without having a billion different bottles of product in my shower.



My mom has always used it too. It's less expensive at adollar store.
Reply:i have been using the st ives apricot cleanser blemish control for a while and i use it after i use a makeup remover for my face and i think it works great....it makes my skin feel very smooth and clean and doesn't dry my face out, its definitely gentle enough to use everyday....i recommend it!
Reply:I have been using it religiously (the one with the blue top) for years and it is great. But it must be because Switzerland does take such pride in the quality of their products.
Reply:I have been in the skin care industry for over 13 years and highly recommend staying away from St. Ives, especially if you have acne. Most over the counter scrubs use the shells all ground up as the abrasive particles. These particles are to abrasive for acne (most skin actually), and can can cause the bacteria within your acne lesions to spread and make the problem worse. It is important to find a product line that balances your skins natural oil production without being to harsh and drying. Aveeno has a good line that is affordable and they do have a scrub that is made with polybeads. They say you can use it daily, but with acne I wouldn't use it more than 2 times a week.
Reply:I use it to wash my face and head, I shave my head, and I think it works great to remove dead skin and help reduce shine. I think its a good product.
Reply:I used their apricot scrub and it was great, really great results! altho if u have acne i wudnt recommend the scrub, but the cleansing facial wash should do the trick!
Reply:I use the scrub maybe once a week on my face, cuz I have sensitive skin, but it is really good.
Reply:only use it once a week...its harsh if used to much...
Reply:I think it's a bit too abrasive for acne. The apricot seeds will be like glass rubbing against your skin. Please see a dermatologist if you can to get recommendations for skin care. I recommend Dermalogica products. It's hard to find and pricey, but works.



I've had acne for years and used all sorts of stuff (including this apricot scrub) and ended up destroying my skin. I still have acne scars and I'm now in my 30's. I regret not seeing a dermatologist sooner. My skin has been in great shape for the past years since I started using Dermalogica.
Reply:I use it and love it! If it seems to dry your face out too much only use 1-2 times a week. I use once a week and rub on face really well and let sit for about 5 min or so to soak up oils. Then rinse. Skin feels great for days.
