Review: Skincare: St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub



scrub

This St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub is my scrub of choice. Its similar to the St. Ives Apricot Scrub that comes in the orange tube, except this one is medicated with 2% salycilic acid. What that does is help with treating problem skin, as it has mine. I use it about 2 times a week as part of my skincare regime, and I think it’s help keep my spots at bay.

This scrub comes in a large tube, and I don’t find the granules over large or harsh. You squeeze out a bit, maybe around 2cm and lather with water then scrub your face with it. Make sure not to scrub too hard for that’s bad for your skin.

This scrub has a slight minty smell, and leaves my skin smooth and slightly tingly. I like it. It makes me feel like my skin is really clear and clean. :)

The price is great too. It retails for about RM17 and often goes on discount at Guardian and Watsons. I’d say its worth getting. I’m probably on my 5th tube and still loving it!

    I’m a huge fan of St Ives’ medicated scrub as well. Sadly, it’s too ‘expensive’ to buy at the normal price (especially since it can go down to RM13.00+ during sales)…sigh…

    Still, that probably explains the rapidly-diminishing tube in my bathroom as well as the spare three in my storage cupboard!! Viva la sales! ;)

    Erm … would it be too much if I told you that I use St Ives’ Apricot Scrub for my … err … feet?

    It’s just me, of course, but I find it a bit too harsh for my face, when I first bought it (I was really gentle; yet, the hard bits scratched my face :() The tube was left at the bathroom for almost a year, before I tried using it on my elbows, knees, and feet. It was fantastic for these dry areas, and exfoliated really well. And now, I’m onto my second tube, which is almost finished ;)

    Beetrice: hehe I agree that buying at normal prices is ‘too expensive’ - spoilt :P

    Tine: You aren’t the only one who finds it too harsh. I guess I’m just too “thick-skinned” lol
