St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub Review

Assalammualaikum.

Hello Beautiful! Welcome to the natural world of St Ives! In my previous post, i had posted up my review using St Ives Oatmeal Scrub and Mask (old packaging, there might be improvement on the formulation other than its current new look). So this time, i put my hands on these two scrubs from America's #1 scrub brand, St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub and Radiant Skin Pink Lemon & Mandarin Orange Face Scrub (which i will review soon in my next post!).

St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub 

St Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub made with 100% natural exfoliants, extracts and moisturizers, California walnut shell (harvested in autumn and processed to produce a natural scrub : St. Ives Scrubs). It has become the icon, cult classic and the beauty editors' fave with apricots as its main ingredient. Apricots are rich n antioxidants like Vitamin C and E which helps making our skin soft, smooth and positively glowing.

It is paraben-free, dermatologist tested, oil free and non-comedogenic!

For those who are curious about their ingredients; 

Ingredients: Water (Aqua, Eau), Juglans Regia (Walnut) Shell Powder, Glyceryl Stearate, Glycerin, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate, Zea Mays (Corn) Kernel Meal, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, PEG-100 Stearate, Cetyl Acetate, Titanium Dioxide (CI 77891), Polysorbate 60, Ceteareth-20, Acetylated Lanolin Alcohol, Triethanolamine, Carbomer, Fragrance (Parfum), PPG-2 Methyl Ether, Phenethyl Alcohol, Limonene, Linalool, Methylisothiazolinone, Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Fruit Extract.

What's good is, they also provide this exfoliation factor that helps you to decide the level of exfoliation you need.

 Easy to pour it out, no seal. Smells good!

The texture is a bit rough compared to oatmeal scrub which is gentle to skin

How to use it?

1. Squeeze a dime sized amount onto your fingertips, massage onto damp skin.

2. Spread in small circular motions, applying gentle pressure to wake your skin’s natural circulation.

3. Work all over, right up to your hairline and onto the sides of your nose.

4. When you’re done, rinse and pat dry with a clean towel.

5. Use 3 to 4 times a week (depending on skin) for best results.

My Honest Review

I love oatmeal scrub more than this as it is gentle to my skin (the beads in Apricot Scrub are quite harsh on my skin). However it still works well on my skin. Using it in a small amount once week doesn't cause any issues on my skin. And the part that i'm loving this scrub is my scars start to faded away (it removes dead skin cells, i believe by using it consistently, the scars could leave my face forever). Best thing is, my skin felt smoother than before. Would i recommend this brand to others? Yes, of course! It is #1 Scrub Brand everyone need to try on. 

There are 5 other variants you should try too!

Where to find it? You can find it at any pharmacies and drugstores nearby for only RM23.49.  

So how was it? i hope this short and sweet review helps you to decide better! Thanks for reading ❤
