St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub 300ml — Fresh Skin deep-exfoliating, paraben-free

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Facial Scrub is a deep-exfoliating facial cleanser made with 100% natural walnut shell powder and apricot extract to remove dead skin and reveal smoother, glowing skin.

This scrub blends natural exfoliants with gentle cleansing agents to lift away dull surface cells and surface impurities. Formulated for periodic deep exfoliation, it’s free from parabens and oil and has been dermatologist tested. The 300ml size imported from Canada gives multiple weeks of use for face-care routines that aim to refresh skin texture and brightness.

How does this scrub remove dull, rough skin?

The formula contains finely milled walnut shell powder that physically buffs away dead skin, while apricot extract helps condition the surface for a smoother finish. Regular, but not daily, use reduces buildup that can make skin look lackluster.

• 100% natural walnut shell particles provide mechanical exfoliation.
• Apricot extract helps soften and tone skin texture.
• Deep-cleaning action targets surface debris and excess oil.

When and how often should I use the St. Ives apricot scrub?

This facial scrub is designed for periodic deep exfoliation—typically 2–4 times per week depending on skin sensitivity. Apply a small amount to damp skin, massage gently in circular motions, then rinse; avoid daily over-exfoliation to prevent irritation.

• Use 2–4 times weekly for most skin types.
• Massage lightly; do not scrub aggressively to avoid microtears.
• Follow with a hydrating moisturizer and sun protection during the day.

Is the product suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The scrub is dermatologist tested, non-comedogenic, and free from parabens and oils, which reduces the chance of pore blockages. However, because it uses physical exfoliants, those with highly sensitive, compromised, or inflamed skin should patch-test first or choose a gentler alternative.

• Hypoallergenic and non-comedogenic formulation.
• Paraben-free and oil-free to minimize pore-clogging risk.
• Patch-test recommended for reactive skin before regular use.

What results can I expect and how quickly?

After the first use, skin typically feels smoother and looks brighter due to removal of dead surface cells. Over several weeks of proper use, texture and clarity often improve as exfoliation allows moisturizers and treatments to absorb more effectively.

• Immediate smoother feel and visible brightness after rinsing.
• Improved texture and product absorption with ongoing use.
• Best when combined with a consistent cleansing and moisturizing routine.

Who is this for: St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Facial Scrub is aimed at people seeking a natural, physical exfoliant for periodic deep cleaning—those with normal to combination skin who want to reduce dullness and refine texture. If your skin is very sensitive, inflamed, or under active acne treatment, consult a skincare professional and consider gentler chemical exfoliants.
