St. Ives earns mixed reviews: the brand delivers fresh, pleasant scents and noticeable smoothing exfoliation, but its iconic Apricot Scrub proves too abrasive for many and can irritate or even worsen texture on sensitive skin. Reviews praise easy lather, plant-based, cruelty-free formulas and soft, clean-feeling results, while questioning efficacy of some face washes and warning that the physical exfoliation feels outdated and harsh for regular use.

This version is definitely way gentler than their classic apricot scrub, but at the end of the day, it’s just okay. The oatmeal particles are pretty fine, so it doesn't feel too harsh, and using it as a quick hydrating mask before rinsing is nice, but physical scrubs just aren't really necessary in my routine anymore.
I use this as a guilty pleasure. For a really intense scrub around my nose area and on my chest and feet. I know the shells scrap up the skin but I try to limit my usage. Plus this was a trail size which worked in a pinch when I was feeling flaky on vacation 🥴🥴
St. Ives makes great skin care. I like their face washes because of the great smell but also because they work well. They leave my skin feeling clean and healthy. It is also one of the more affordable skin care options.
Not for me. I know it’s popular and budget-friendly, but the physical exfoliation in the apricot scrub was too harsh for my skin and caused irritation. I believe in gentle, effective skincare, and this one feels a bit outdated. They’ve tried to reformulate, but I still pass on it. There are better, gentler options on the market.
