Review of St. Ives Apricot Scrub Facial Wash

Have you tried countless products that claim to eliminate acne and other facial blemishes while leaving you skin looking and feeling its best? Have you been constantly disappointed with the results of trying many products? As a chronic acne sufferer both during and after puberty, I tried countless over the counter acne products. One of the products I have found that truly lives up to its promise is St. Ives Apricot Scrub Facial Wash. There are many advantages of using St. Ives Apricot Scrub Facial Wash as part of your acne and blemish control regimen. Some of these advantages include proven ingredients, ease of use, and affordability.

Like many over the counter acne treatments on the market today, the primary active ingredient in St. Ives Apricot Scrub Facial Wash is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid has long been proven one of the strongest over the counter acne fighting medications. Salicylic acid not only works to clear up existing facial blemishes. Continuous use of Salicylic acid based acne and blemish control medications greatly reduces the severity of future acne breakouts, and in some cases, may actually prevent acne breakouts for many weeks at a time.

St. Ives Apricot Scrub Facial Wash is extremely easy to use. To use the product, simply wet your face, squeeze the product from the tube onto fingertips, and rub on the affected areas of the face. Let the solution penetrate your pores for about three minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water. The best time I have found to use St. Ives Apricot Scrub Facial Wash is during my shower.

By using in the shower, I do not have to set aside special time to use the product. When you use St. Ives Apricot Scrub Facial Wash, you may find that it feels gritty to your face. The reason it feels gritty is that the product is working below the skin, at the root of the problem. If you find the regular strength to be too gritty and irritating to the skin, there is a formula of the product available for people with sensitive skin.
