Smell is not 100% great..and does cause pimples if used too much due to the fact that you should not be exfoliating every day! But it would be a good exfoliation if the product was made a little bit different, not bad though, but not great.

Great Exfoliation, but Use with Caution! I’ve been using the St. Ives Acne Control Apricot Scrub for some time, and I love how it leaves my skin feeling fresh and smooth. The exfoliating particles are strong, which helps remove dead skin and unclog pores. It also has a pleasant, fruity scent that makes my skincare routine feel refreshing. However, since the scrub is quite intense, I recommend using it only a few times a week to avoid irritation, especially if you have sensitive skin. Overall, it’s a great option for deep cleansing and keeping acne under control!

This scrub surprised me. What really surprised me was its effectiveness. I would use it every few days because every day use would be to harsh. I found the scent not too appealing. Packaging was very big.

The product did leave my skin soft and it felt clean and refreshed. However, I noticed myself breaking out more after roughly a week of using the product. I've stopped using this product because I don't think it's for me.

I might make some Gen z mad, but this works! I also use it on my forearms, too, even my feet! It is a bit difficult to rinse off and heavily scented, wish they would take the scent away and make a fragrance free version. Love it!

This exfoliating scrub made my skin worse then better. It claims that you can use it everyday but is over stripped my skin and caused all these micro tears that widened over time and now are mini scars and blemishes.

There's a reason dermatologists tell you to avoid this product. It is literal sandpaper for your face. Do not strip your face of it's natural oils and texture. This product is super harsh and can cause lasting damage. Opt for a gentle cleanser instead!

A lot of face wash, can be scary. I find most face washes, to leave my skin dry. Sometimes they leave my face sticky. This product right here though, does none of those things. I promise you. I swear by this face wash. I use it every single night, before bed. It only leaves you feeling refreshed! Stop wasting your money on all these expensive brands. This is worth every penny. Please give it a try at home!

This scrub works very well without too strong of a smell. Its quite effective at clearing up stubborn acne because of the salycilic acid in it. Its very easy to use while you’re showering which makes it quite convenient.

I like that this gives a good exfoliation but it does scratch skin pretty good if you have sensitive skin this isn't for you. it does improve texture and helps with acne.

Not effective against my acne in the slightest bit, texture is hard and does not dissolve. Smells good but otherwise I wouldn’t try this product again.
