Does St. Ives Apricot scrub work well with blackheads?

I have bad blackheads... I heard that this scrub will work well to get rid of them. Have you had good results with it?

Does St. Ives Apricot scrub work well with blackheads?
Yes it is very good for blackheads and i'll tell you why, Apricots are full of antioxidants such as vitamin c, lycopene, and beta carotene. Apricot has been used for centuries on the face because of it's richness, and nourishment.





But I do agree with the girl under me(Burt's Bees user) if you have sensitive skin it may harm you because they use "lake 5" and all those chemicals. BUT the apricot itself does for sure work on skin and as I said before it has been used for centuries.
Reply:No, St. Ives Apricot Scrub does not work well with any type of skin. The exfoliant is actually crushed walnut shell, which have very jagged edges, and they microscopically tear away at your skin. It just makes your skin worse. It's not just the walnut shells that do it either, it's all of the extra chemicals in it. Sure, it has a lot of natural ingredients and salicylic acid, which helps acne, but it also has a ton of harmful chemicals in it which will just make your skin worse. If you want to use a scrub to help clear your skin, I suggest one from Burt's Bees. It's all-natural and safe, so it's way better for your skin. Try this one:

Reply:Blackheads are just pimples that are open and have oxidized.

Scrubbing helps to remove dirt and debris and exfoliates your skin. Apricot pits are very harsh.



Back in the day, when St Ives Apricot scrub first came around, I thought it was great. But after using it 3 times a week for about 4 weeks, my skin became very irritated, dry and flaky. Scrubbing with a harsh product also scrubs and scratches fresh, live skin cells. Not a good thing for your face or your looks. Thre trick is to deep clean and gently exfoliate.



I can recommend some products for you if you are interested. Email me for information.
Reply:I don't really have blackheads (I'm more of a pimple filled person) so I can't answer your question with experience but I heard that it works well for blackheads. DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use it everyday, because it will just make you get acne scars.
Reply:i use it everyday and all of my blackheads have gone away. but im sure that everyones skin is differnt.
Reply:yes i used them and its good
