The apricot scrub is my absolute favorite must have thing. I'm allergic to all over-the-counter/drugstore acne products so that has been my lifesaver when I need to wash my face with something better than soap and water!

I'm not sure about the left, but St. Ives Scrubs will damage the heck out of your skin in the long run, it's beads are way too harsh and abrasive for the skin, I have yet to meet a dermatologist that recommends it or a skin esthetician that doesn't cringe at it's name. It's beads are pointed, not round. So, it basically doesn't exfoliate your skin- it scratches it causing micro tears. By scratching it, it creates grooves in it and that makes it allows bacteria to clot and your skin to become more prone to blemishes.
People will always claim that it leaves their skin looking 'Healthy, Glowing, and beautiful'. The reason it appears this way is because they removed a protective layer from their face and the skin that appears is not fully developed. The reason they don't find any blemishes it because they are basically over exfoliating, they are simply scratching the dirt and bacteria from out of their faces and damaging their skin again as they do.
It may seem harmless, but you can end up making your skin a lot worse in the long run. By over exfoliating, you can get a bacteria infection and can even end up with infections on the skin . Some have reported such bad effects from it, like having a cyst that was too infected and big that they ended up having a surgery to remove it.
Even if you don't get a cyst, other problems can occur too ( premature wrinkles, discolouration after continued use). It is best to use an exfoliant with smooth, round microbeads (sometimes even a facecloth is enough) and leave the St. I've's Scrub for your body, and not your face.
