St. Ives reviews and discussion

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.

I've found this scrub from St. Ives to be too harsh. The scent is fairly neutral but the ingredients in this body wash don't work as well as gentler products that work better for my skin type. I'd like to see unscented products from St. Ives in the future.

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 I believe in gentle, effective skincare, and this one feels a bit outdated.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.

"St. Ives is a skincare staple for me! 🌿💖 Their products are infused with natural ingredients like oatmeal, apricot, and tea tree oil, which gently care for my skin. The scrubs are amazing for exfoliating and leaving my skin feeling smooth. Love that they're cruelty-free and affordable! 🌸 4.5/5 stars!"

I’ve been using this scrub on and off for years — it makes my skin feel super smooth and fresh 🍑. The exfoliation is pretty intense though, so I only use it once a week. Not the best for sensitive skin, but it’s great for a deep clean!

Crushed walnut shells (like sandpaper shards) in a goopy gel base. A skincare war crime in a tube. Does it work? Yes – like a sledgehammer works for hanging a picture. Use it only on non-face body parts, never daily, and avoid if your skin has ever felt sensitive

My mom uses it all the time, and I always buy it for her. She loves the fresh citrus scent and how gentle it is on her skin. It exfoliates just enough to leave her skin smooth without dryness. A great, affordable body wash that she keeps coming back to.

St Ives products are reliable and always smell great. I buy them a lot as part of my daily wash routine. I like a lot of their products and will keep getting them. They are not expensive which I appreciate.

This is an exfoliating body wash. I don't think it has much of a scent to it. It lathers well. It's plant based, cruelty free and in a recycled bottle. It comes in a large bottle bottle.

I used this growing up and would buy their body wash. I stopped as I switched to bar soaps as the packaging is less reliant on plastic. As far as the face washes I did not find it that effective for me.

I like St. Ives because they are affordable and smell great. I don't use exfoliating scrubs too often (I have sensitive skin) but I have used St. Ives without any issues.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub is great. It smells fresh and fruity, exfoliates nicely and leaves my skin feeling soft smooth. Plus, it's not too expensive.

The St. Ives Apricot Scrub didn’t work well for my skin. The scrub is very abrasive, and after using it, my face felt irritated and dry. While it does exfoliate, the texture is too rough, and I’ve heard it can be harsh for sensitive skin. I didn’t notice any positive changes in my complexion either. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend it for regular use, especially if you have delicate skin.

The apricot scrub was so abrasive!! I wouldn’t use that scrub ever again. It also didn’t smell great either. I wouldn’t reccomend

This was the first facial scrub I used. It’s widely available and reasonably priced, but I prefer a scrub with more grit or that are more energizing.

Unfortunately, I tried the apricot scrub when I was much younger and it was so rough that it left me with permanent scarring on my face. I have texture there now, that I've never been able to get rid of.

St. Ives makes a great, affordable product. The apricot scrub smells really nice and clean. We don't use it often in my house because my husband and children both have exzcema and require fragrance free, sensitive skin body washes.

Has no real benefits/ results but is an affordable price

I use St Ives facial exfoiliator to help brighten my skin and remove old skin cells. It's easy on sensitive skin and works well.
