How will this scrub change my skin texture?

Regular use removes surface buildup and smooths rough patches so your skin feels softer and looks more even. The physical exfoliants slough away dead skin cells while the apricot extract brightens the appearance of the complexion. Use as directed to avoid over-exfoliation and maintain your skin barrier.

• Finely milled walnut shell and apricot pit powders for controlled physical buffing
• Vitamin-rich apricot extract to refresh and brighten skin’s look
• Gentle formula designed for 2–3 uses per week to prevent irritation

Is this product suitable for oily or acne-prone skin?

This scrub is formulated for balanced to oily skin and is non-comedogenic, meaning it won’t clog pores when used as directed. It helps reduce excess surface oil and clears away debris that can contribute to a dull appearance. If you have active, inflamed acne, consult a dermatologist before using physical exfoliants.

• Non-comedogenic and dermatologist tested for safer daily use
• Deep-cleansing action removes oil and surface impurities
• Recommended frequency: 2–3 times weekly to avoid sensitizing skin

What are the key ingredients and why do they matter?

The scrub centers on natural exfoliants: walnut shell and apricot pit powders deliver mechanical exfoliation while apricot extract brings antioxidants and a fresh scent. The blend supports the skin’s appearance without relying on synthetic microbeads. The formula also avoids parabens and is certified cruelty-free.

• 100% natural exfoliants for effective physical polishing
• Apricot extract supplies vitamin-rich nourishment and aroma
• PETA-certified cruelty-free and paraben-free formulation

How should I use this to get the best results?

Squeeze a dime-sized amount onto damp fingertips and gently massage in small circular motions, then rinse thoroughly. Limit use to 2–3 times per week to maintain balance and pair with a hydrating moisturizer afterward. For best results, integrate into a routine that includes sun protection the following day.

• Apply to damp skin and massage gently, avoid scrubbing hard
• Rinse fully and pat skin dry before moisturizers or serums
• Follow with SPF during daytime to protect fresh skin cells

Who is this for: This St. Ives Apricot Face Scrub is aimed at people with balanced to oily skin who want a natural, effective physical exfoliant to smooth texture and reduce surface oil. It suits shoppers looking for a cruelty-free, largely naturally derived product in recyclable packaging. If you have very sensitive or actively broken skin, opt for a gentler chemical exfoliant or consult a skin professional before use.
