Skin Care Review: St Ives Apricot Scrub

Rating
Good

Benefits
exfoliates well, cleans out pores, good price

Drawbacks
can be a little harsh on sensitive skin, most will do fine

Details
I've used this product once a week for over a year and I love it. It not only cleans out my pores really thoroughly, but it doesn't dry my skin out, and it leaves it smooth and extremely soft! Especially the next morning if I use it before bed, when I wake up it feels so soft like baby skin (my husband thinks so anyway). Directly afterwards it does leave my face a little red in places, but that happens with any exfoliant that's worth a darn because your scrubbing dirt and dead skin off your face with abrasive material. But the redness always goes away in about a half hour, and then it's a hundred times better feeling and looking.

I have combination skin: very oily on and around the nose, mouth, and chin, and very dry and flaky everywhere else, especially the forehead and eyebrow area. This product exfoliates my skin without leaving it too dry like others have, but it cleanses my skin enough to stimulate the production of the skin's natural oil, leaving the moisture level balanced. I'm not going to say this is like the best product ever, but it's atleast equally as good as the more expensive exfoliants I've used, in my experiences anyway. :-)

Conclusions
I recommend this product whole-heartedly, it'll save you money.
