  • Fresh, fruity fragrance profiles

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clean-feeling results, while questioning efficacy of some face washes and warning that the physical exfoliation feels outdated and harsh for regular use.

  • 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.
