St. Ives Swiss Formula - Apricot Scrub Gentle Reviews

I don't usually spend a lot on cleansers scrubs like this, preferring instead to use a facial wash and a good moisturiser afterwards. However I bought this scrub on impulse, I saw it on offer in Tesco's and got lured in by the fancy packaging and the promises on the side of the 150ml tub. There are large, juicy-looking apricots on the front -I ...  Read the complete review

I am a great believer in regular exfoliating and I have tried many products, often expensive products, this is, by far, the best exfoliator I have ever used. It costs around £4 for a 150ml tube and this might seem pricey, but there are often 2 for 1 offers on the scrub and you can quite often get it cheaper from supermarkets and places ...  Read the complete review

I have tried a wide range of facial cleansers and scrubs and even though I have not had this one for that long, I have rapidly grown to love it already. Before I was put of buying it, as I though it would be expensive from the brand name and its look, it just appears to me as though it would cost a lot because of a fancy name. However, ...  Read the complete review

I normally struggle to find a cleanser which does not leave my skin feeling taught and dry, so I was tempted to try this when I saw the words 'moisture rich' and 'deep cleans without drying' on the tube. I am now on my third tube and intend to stick with it. The texture is of a lovely thick cream, so it feels like it is adding moisture ...  Read the complete review

I am a bit of a beauty product junkie and always fall for anything that promises to make my skin look a bit better than it already does. If there was one thing on my body that I could change it would be my skin as it seems to have every possible flaw; blemishes, excess oil and blackheads. I know it probably doesn't look as bad to other people as I ...  Read the complete review

When I first discovered this product it appealed to me because I had heard of St Ives before and thought it would be a good make. It also appealed to me because it was on the reduced trolly in Boots because it had a broken lid! I needed a new face scrub and this one looked good because it's gentle and for dry and sensitvie skin. I have ...  Read the complete review

use a little of this in the morning on my face in the shower, not every day but as needed. It makes my skin clean and soft and scrubs away flakes when my skin is dry. I've tried other scrubs, but you can't beat this one for price and effectiveness. It smells good enough to eat and the smell stays on your skin for hours after. It can be ...  Read the complete review

I first used this product years ago when I was in my teens. At the time my skin was too soft and sensitive to use any kind of scrub - tip if you're still quite young, avoid scrubs which tend to be quite harsh- but now it's ideal. *sigh* one of the downsides of becoming old! But if you don't exfoliate your skin in some way, a lot of dead skin cells ...  Read the complete review

I am impressed with the performance of St Ives Swiss Formula Apricot Blemish Fighting Scrub. It really does appear to do it what it states on the tube. I have a combination skin type with open pores on my 'T-zone', and drier skin on my cheeks. I usually develop one or two nasty blemishes on my face at a certain time once a month (I thought, ...  Read the complete review

Am I the only person who doesn't seem to like the St Ives Apricot Scrub Gentle? The packaging of the scrub looks really clean and professional and the smell is gorgeous. The squeezy tube is really easy to use and get the required ammount of scrub out. When the tube is "empty", there is usually alot left in, and can be got off if the ...  Read the complete review

I've been using this face scrub on and off for years as it's cheap, simple, and effective. The price varies, but I usually get mine for between £1.50 and £1.99 from Bodycare. It comes in a white squeezy plastic tube, which you can just about see the product through, so you can tell how much is left, but not just at a glance. The lid has ...  Read the complete review

This is the one product that I feel a bit panicky if I am without! ;) I have used St Ives scrub for about 10 years now after trying a magazine sample when I was about 17. I use it between every day and every other day depending on how bad my skin is looking. As I have sensitive skin, I have to be careful how hard I scrub ...  Read the complete review

This is my favourite product that lives in my bathroom. I always have it stocked up from buy one get one free offers as it is a little pricier than some of the alternatives. I use it twice a week as it is too harsh to use everyday. It must be applied to a wet face and rub lightly in circicualr motions. The feeling is of sand being ...  Read the complete review

I started using St Ives when I was back in uni, a friend of mine who was kinda obsessed with beauty products introduced it to me..:) I tend to try out particular beauty products for my face and stick to them and this is one of those I've stuck to..(not tried using it as a full body scrub yet.) St Ives Swiss Formula comes in a white ...  Read the complete review

So....who doesnt have the St Ives facial scrub? The advantages... The packaging is quite attractive and nothing too fancy - it is a squeeze tube with a flip cap at the base to dispense the product. It smells really great and the exfoliating beads are quite large so you can actually feel the results. Also, it is available in many ...  Read the complete review

I am always trying out different facial scrubs and St Ives has deservedly become one of my favourites. I am really easily seduced by products that seem fairly natural, so the fact that this scrub can boast "more than 90% naturally derived ingredients, including Swiss glacial water and Swiss botanicals" made it sound a wee bit special ...  Read the complete review

I use this product regularly and I am always amazed that you do seem to be able to actually see the results instantly. I find that my skin definitely feels alot smoother immediately after using it, but also appears smoother and clearer to look at. It is a very gritty feeling scrub to massage in, but it smells pleasant enough and you really ...  Read the complete review

I was first introduced to St. Ives scrubs at a young age, when I was on a trip to Vietnam. They had a large market around the corner, and I procured my very first facial scrub, for a rock bottom price. It was not the gentle version, and being new to the whole scrub club, I rubbed it into my face like I was trying to shed my skin. And ...  Read the complete review

I use this scrub almost everyday. This is a necessity in my skin care regiment. This scrub definately helps keep breakouts away and clears my skin up faster when I am already broken out. I love how soft my skin feels after washing with this scrub and it makes my skin look smooth and fresh. This stuff also works great as an all over body ...  Read the complete review
