St Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub - review

0 Comments

This is one of those products that I've been using on and off for years. 

It's a favourite among the beauty community and it's definitely on my list of awesome budget products, and I've no doubt I'll keep coming back to it indefinitely.


St Ives claims/product details:
  • Gently cleans pores and helps stop breakouts before they occur
  • Helps prevent blackheads and minimises pores
  • Fights blemishes naturally without drying out the skin
  • Buffs away dead skin cells
  • 100% natural exfoliants
  • Paraben free; oil free
  • 2% salicylic acid 
  • Dermatologist tested; hypoallergenic
  • Key ingredients: apricot, corn kernel meal, walnut
  • Not tested on animals
  • RRP $9.99 for 150ml, but do shop around


Verdict

This is a great little scrub and you can usually pick it up on special somewhere. From memory I got it for less than $8 - not bad for a massive tube of a great scrub!

What I love about it (aside from the budget price) is that it contains plenty of scrubby matter and really does the job well. You may have heard me say before that I prefer a harsher scrub that really gets in there and cleans/buffs properly, and this does.

As for claims, I'm not sure whether this minimises pores, but I do feel it helps prevent blemishes. While I still get blackheads, I reckon I get less of them when I'm using a decent scrub like this one.

My skin always feels soft and smooth after using it, although I can't use it too often because I have dry skin and this can be drying if you overdo it. If you have oily skin I think you could use it more frequently, but once or twice weekly is plenty for me.

A great scrub at a budget price. Can't go wrong.
