St. Ives Facial Scrub Twin Pack — Apricot + BHA Green Tea, 6 oz Each, Exfoliating & Blackhead Clearing

Two targeted face scrubs in one pack: St. Ives Apricot for balanced-to-oily skin and St. Ives BHA Green Tea to help clear blackheads. This twin-pack combines two of St. Ives' most popular exfoliants so you can tailor weekly skincare to your needs—gentle apricot-powered polishing on days you want smoothness and a BHA-enriched green tea scrub when you need deeper pore attention. Each tube contains 6 oz (170 g) of product and uses naturally derived exfoliants and dermatologist-tested formulas designed to be non-comedogenic and paraben-free.

How do these two scrubs differ and when should I use each?

The Apricot scrub focuses on natural fruit extracts and a smoothing texture that buffs away dull surface cells, while the BHA Green Tea scrub combines salicylic acid with bamboo to address blackheads and congested pores. Use the Apricot formula on regular exfoliation days for radiance; reserve the Green Tea BHA scrub when you want deeper pore penetration.

• Apricot: vitamin-rich apricot extract and fine natural exfoliants for surface renewal.
• BHA Green Tea: contains 1% salicylic acid and bamboo to target blackheads.
• Frequency: up to 3–4 times weekly depending on skin sensitivity.
• Both: dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, paraben-free, and vegan.

Will these scrubs work for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

Both scrubs are formulated to be gentle for regular exfoliation, but responses vary by individual. The Apricot scrub is best for balanced-to-oily skin seeking smoother texture, while the Green Tea scrub—with 1% salicylic acid—is better suited to acne-prone skin that tolerates chemical exfoliation.

• Sensitive skin: patch-test before use and reduce frequency if redness occurs.
• Acne-prone: the BHA Green Tea formula targets blackheads and helps with clogged pores.
• Always follow with a moisturizer and sun protection after exfoliation.

How do I use these scrubs safely for best results?

Apply a small amount to damp skin and massage in gentle, circular motions—avoid vigorous scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a toner and hydrating moisturizer; limit use to 3–4 times per week or less if your skin feels irritated.

• Apply to clean, damp face; avoid eyes and broken skin.
• Massage for 30–60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.
• Follow with moisturizer and daily SPF if used in morning routines.

What ingredients and benefits should I expect from each tube?

Both formulas rely on naturally derived exfoliants and targeted active ingredients: apricot extract for brightening texture and green tea plus salicylic acid for managing pore congestion. The scrubs are dermatologist-tested, non-comedogenic, cruelty-free and formulated without parabens.

• Apricot scrub: vitamin-rich extract, natural exfoliating particles, polished finish.
• BHA Green Tea: 1% salicylic acid, green tea antioxidants, bamboo-derived exfoliants.
• Vegan and PETA-approved cruelty-free formulation across both products.

Who is this for: This variety 2-pack is ideal for shoppers who want versatile, affordable exfoliation—people with combination or oily skin who benefit from regular surface exfoliation plus an occasional deeper pore treatment. It’s also a practical option for households sharing skincare, or for anyone building a simple exfoliation routine that alternates between gentle resurfacing and targeted BHA care. If you have very sensitive or medically treated skin, consult a dermatologist before starting a new exfoliant regimen.
