St. Ives Apricot Face Scrub 6 oz – Deep Exfoliator for Balanced to Oily Skin, 100% Natural Exfoliants

St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Face Scrub is a deep, natural exfoliant that buffs away dullness and excess oil for smoother, glowing skin.

This 6 oz formula combines vitamin-rich apricot extract with finely milled natural exfoliants to remove dead skin cells and surface impurities without harsh chemicals. Designed for balanced to oily skin types, the scrub is dermatologist tested, paraben-free, non-comedogenic, and PETA-certified cruelty-free. The tube is made with over 50% recycled plastic, giving you exfoliation that’s both effective and mindful of the environment.

How does this scrub remove dullness while protecting the skin?

The scrub uses 100% naturally derived exfoliants—apricot pit powder and walnut shell powder—blended to polish the skin gently but effectively. Vitamin-rich apricot extract helps refresh the complexion while supporting skin’s natural look and feel. The formulation aims to clear away surface buildup without overstripping moisture.

• Natural exfoliants: finely milled walnut shell and apricot pit powders
• Vitamin-rich apricot extract to revive dull skin
• Non-comedogenic formula to reduce pore congestion
• Dermatologist tested for gentle performance

Will I notice visible results, and how quickly?

Many users see an immediate smoother texture and reduced surface shine after the first use, with ongoing improvement in clarity when used regularly. For best results, incorporate the scrub into your routine 2–3 times per week to avoid irritation from over-exfoliation. Pairing with a lightweight moisturizer helps maintain balance and glow.

• Instant: smoother, brighter-looking skin after one use
• Short-term: clearer pores and less surface oil within weeks
• Recommended frequency: 2–3 times weekly for balanced exfoliation
• Best paired with a non-comedogenic moisturizer

Is this safe for my skin type and what ingredients should I expect?

This scrub is formulated for balanced to oily complexions but can suit many people who tolerate physical exfoliants. It’s free from parabens and won’t clog pores, and it’s been dermatologist tested. Ingredients focus on naturally derived components rather than harsh synthetic abrasives.

• Targeted for balanced to oily skin types
• 95% naturally derived formula with plant-based exfoliants
• Paraben-free and non-comedogenic
• PETA-certified cruelty-free and recycled-plastic tube

How do I use this scrub without causing irritation?

Apply a small, dime-sized amount to damp skin and massage in gentle, circular motions—avoid aggressive scrubbing. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a hydrating, non-comedogenic moisturizer to support the skin barrier. Reduce frequency if you experience redness or sensitivity.

• Use on damp skin, small circular motions only
• Rinse completely and pat skin dry
• Follow with a lightweight, hydrating moisturizer
• Limit to 2–3 times weekly to prevent irritation

Who is this for: St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Face Scrub is best suited for people with balanced to oily skin who want a natural, effective physical exfoliant that polishes away dullness and helps control excess surface oil. If you prefer plant-derived scrubs, want paraben-free skincare, and value cruelty-free brands with recycled packaging, this product fits into a sustainable daily routine. Those with very sensitive or compromised skin should patch-test first or consult a skincare professional before regular use.
