MY VIEWS
Well it does work for me, as i have oily skin and have few blemishes. I have tried different facial wash product but i'm not that satisfied as St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Upon trying a particular product most of us feel the difference even on the first time of using it , especially how our skin react to them, usually i get some rashes to some of them which i thought to be mild. Some facial scrub cost much but the end result isn't as good as what we expected. There are times that i do rely on the price and brand then expect them to deliver the best quality possible. In my opinion St. Ives Apricot scrub is a value for your money and it really do the job.

Actually no one recommended this product to me, i tried to get one while i'm shopping and grabbed one because it's on offer for £1.99, a half price offer which is really a bargain. As i tried them for the first time, i feel how it moisturize my skin and it feels really clean, from then on i never use any facial wash product. I continue using them, and even tried to influence everyone in the household to give it a try, all of us are using st. Ives scrub now. As i discovered that most of my friends use them as well, we all have the same experience and satisfaction with St. Ives. Apricot Scrub. Hope you can have the same experience and satisfaction as we all had. It really works!

Thank you for reading ;-D
