Product Description

St. Ives Gentle Facial Scrub Apricot is a classic, everyday exfoliator formulated to polish away dullness and reveal smoother, brighter skin. The formula combines micro-exfoliating apricot-derived granules with a smoothing base to lift dead skin cells and help refine texture, leaving a soft, refreshed finish. Designed for daily or alternate-day use depending on skin sensitivity.

Lightweight and rinseable, this scrub works as part of a simple cleansing routine — follow with your favourite toner and moisturiser. Ideal for people looking for an affordable, effective scrub that targets rough patches and uneven tone while keeping the skin feeling hydrated, not stripped.

Key Ingredients & Benefits

• Apricot-derived exfoliant — gently buffs away dead skin for immediate smoothness.
• Hydrating glycerin — helps retain moisture during and after exfoliation.
• Soothing botanicals (apricot extract) — calm and tone skin while exfoliating.
• Non-greasy rinse-off base — leaves a fresh, clean finish.
• Pore-clearing action — helps reduce buildup that can lead to breakouts.

How to Use

1. Wet face with lukewarm water.
2. Squeeze a small amount (pea-sized) onto fingertips.
3. Gently massage in circular motions across the face for 30–60 seconds — avoid direct eye area.
4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.
5. Follow with toner and a hydrating moisturiser. Use 2–3× weekly if you have sensitive skin.

Shade Guide / Color Match Tips

• For dry or sensitive skin: Use sparingly (1–2× weekly) and follow with a richer cream.
• For oily or combination skin: 2–4× weekly helps control dullness and smooth texture.
• After exfoliation: apply sunscreen in the daytime — freshly exfoliated skin can be more UV-sensitive.

Safety & Certifications

• Dermatologist-tested (brand testing). Patch test before first use if you have sensitive skin.
• Cruelty-free — claims based on brand statements.
• Not intended for use on broken, sunburnt or irritated skin. Avoid eye contact.
• Contains exfoliating particles — not recommended for microdermabrasion immediately after professional treatments.
• SPF: Not applicable — use a broad-spectrum sunscreen after daytime exfoliation.
