Top positive review5.0 out of 5 starsKeratosis Pilaris sufferers, you need this! Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 28, 2018 This stuff is great. I have keratosis pilaris on my arms and thighs, and it's really bad in the winter, when my skin is dryer. I've used this scrub twice a week for
the last 3 weeks now, and there is a VERY noticeable difference in the texture of my skin. The backs and sides of my thighs are soft and smooth for probably the first time since I've been an adult. My arms have cleared up a ton as well. I'm very impressed with this scrub and I'll be buying it again and again!

What will happen if you use St. Ives everyday?
Do not use it every day- too much exfoliation will irritate your skin, and there's nothing pretty about walking around with a swollen red face! Once, maybe twice, a week is enough.
Is apricot scrub OK for body?
Answer: Yes, apricot scrub is good for oily skin as it helps in sloughing off dead cells, impurities and excess oil by unclogging the pores and maintaining the skin's natural moisture. A scrub that's also infused with soothing and nourishing ingredients can also help keep your skin calm and hydrated.
Is St. Ives 100% natural?
At St. Ives, we use 100% natural moisturizers, exfoliants, and extracts to bring the joy of nature into our cruelty free skin products to give you soft, refreshed skin that glows!
Is St. Ives good for legs?
The St. Ives scrub is also really great exfoliating your legs prior to shaving, so it's got multiple uses!
