St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub

St. Ives Naturally Clear Apricot Scrub for Blemish & Blackhead Control

What it is: An exfoliator
Bunneh's Rating: 

Pros:
Smell is pleasant
Actually works
Made pores smaller
Can see a difference with acne already after first or second use :)
Skin is left unbelievably soft

Cons:
If you over use product, not good for skin obviously

This is a great exfoliator for those who need to get rid of dead skin build up and diminish acne
When you remove dead skin, you also take off the layer that may have acne scars.
So, this is great if you want to diminish the appearance of acne scars and acne in general.
The scrub in general is grainy, and it has a nice texture to it.
First thing I noticed when I opened it up was the smell.
It smells very pleasant and just like apricots (kind of.. hehe)
After you use it, it tightens your pores and smooths your face.
Face looks brighter and more radiant after using :)
Oh, I'll also take better pictures and edit them in some other time..
Took these pictures quick on a cloudy/dark day with indoor light.

As I say with all exfoliators of any kind, only use at most once or twice a week max.
You want to get rid of the dead skin, not damage the new skin.

Before picture
With warm water, get your face wet for the scrub.
Onto your finger tips, put a good pea sized amount of it on and spread to your fingertips.
Spread the scrub around your face in small circular motions, avoiding the eye area of course.
After
Just do that all over your face, remembering your forehead and jaw.
Once it is dried, just wash it off in warm water, washing it off with circular motions.
After it is all washed off, splash your face with cold water to seal it off.
That way it closes your pores.


I have to say, this is a great exfoliator :)
A little does go a long way, and it should last you for months.
It contains 2% salicylic acid, for acne/pimples.

I find this is a good product that kills two birds with one stone.
I definitely recommend this product!
