Pros:

-Leaves skin soft and smooth
-Diminishes appearance of pores
-Helps combat breakouts

Cons:

-Is rough on your skin, but it IS an exfoliant, so...
-My skin started breaking out again when I stopped using it as frequently.

I have oily/sensitive skin and a tendency to react really badly to BP. For anyone out there who is similar in any fashion, I would definitely recommend St. Ives Apricot Scrub because it smells AWESOME and gets the job done. I always apply a light moisturizer after though, because I lived in the Southwest when I first started using it and moisturizer is not an option there, it is a necessity, so I can't say whether or not it is too drying. Seems great as long as you moisturize!

Pros:

~ left my VERY skin soft and smooth
~ visibly reduced my pimples redness (I was surprised)
~ It smells AWESOME!!!

Cons:

~ I heard it scratches up your skin, but I didn't notice... I massaged is very lightly into my skin and i don't have any real complaints.

I really liked this and I plan on buying again.

Pros:

Made skin soft, was cheap, doesn't take long to use, gentle enough for my skin type.

Cons:

Alittle redness afterwards.

I have always had tough skin especially along my jawline but this stuff made my skin nice and soft. Definitely recommended :) though I have no acne or breakouts ever so I am not sure how it treats that.

Pros:

exfoliation, great smell,helps clear up blackheads and blemishes fast and help with light acne

Cons:

none

This is a great product my sister put me onto it and I have only been using it for about a week. I've tried other products for blemishes and blackheads..I use it as a regular face wash morning and night.This is probably the best one for it and for slight acne..I have no complaints

Pros:

My skin felt so soft and clean. It has cleared up my moderate acne.

Cons:

It could make your skin dry if you have sensitive skin.

I have tried products such as ProActiv and Murad, but nothing has given me the results that using Apricot Scrub has. You have to make sure to to moisturize (preferably with oil free moisturizer). My face has cleared up. My best friend has also used apricot scrub with the same results. It is a miracle. I use it 2 times a day- morning and night. I am 20 years old and this is the FIRST thing that has actually worked for my skin.

I love this product so much and it works so good for me! I use it every night along with the clean and clear facial cleanser in the morning! I love it!

Pros:

the product is not expensive, it has a great smell, it cleans my face really good, removes some blackheads (not all). i can actually feel the clean...its just that good

Cons:

it can be a bit harsh for my skin type so i only use it once or twice a week and sometimes zero times for the week(because i have crazy acne and i'm on other prescribed meds)

its worth the try...but of course everyday usage of this product is not necessary...just a few times a week depending on your skin type
