[...] I attribute it to the salicylic acid – the same magic ingredient in the aspirin mask and the St. Ives Medicated Scrub. Only because this stays on your skin, it seems to work better for [...]

Just bought the orange tube version of this at Guardian for RM24.50 . I found this scrub to be too abrasive for the face and would not recommend it as facial scrubs. I try use it on the foot and is perfectly fine though.
I use Neurogena Deep Clean scrubs and occasionally L’Occitane Immortelle Brightening Smoothing Exfoliator for the face when I need to put a mask on afterwards.

St.Ives Apricot srub is indeed the best. I’ve been using it for a long time and I haven’t switched to another brand at well. Leaves my skin baby smooth.

Oh, St.Ives actually sells scrub for feet. But the texture is not very different from the face scrub. But it’s slightly oilier and minty smelling.

[...] your face clean is the first step towards having great skin. I’m happy that they recommended St. Ives Apricot Scrub as well. Its the best facial scrub I’ve tried and possibly one of the cheapest. I know it [...]

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

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

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

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!
