This is by far the best otc product (that I've found) for acne/blemish control. I had been using benzoyl peroxide based products but still had major outbreaks. Started using this scrub 3 times a week and gradually increased to twice a day (have sensitive skin). Now I rarely get a pimple or black head. This is now the only product that I use. It's very effective! At least it works well for me!

I absolutely love this product! I have been using it for a couple of days and my skin is feeling better than ever! It is also very affordable which is amazing because I used to spend a lot of money on acne products but this is a total money saver. I love this scrub because of how gentle it is and the smell is amazing.

I have lots of acne, acne scars, and blackheads. My skin is always so oily and every other scrub I tried would make my face too dry after using them. Then my mom got me this scrub. After using it for the 1st time I noticed that most of my blackheads were gone and my skin was not dried out. This scrub smells amazing and my skin is really soft and smooth after I use. Definitely getting it again.

I really, really love this product. A few months ago, I had a reaction to a certain medication on my face, which caused it to become extremely dry and it started peeling excessively. I needed to clean my face some how, so I used a body wash at first, which did nothing at all. In fact, it made it even more irritated and red and dried it out even more. Then I decided to try this product, and it made it all better within 3-4 days. My skin looked beautiful afterwards. It's so nice to your skin, and is quite refreshing. If I could rate 10 stars, I would.

I'm a teen and I have a usually about 3 pimples and a TON of blackheads!!! After the first use my blackheads (on my nose, cheeks, & chin were smaller! Like barely notice able! My pimples were flattened and shrunken as well! I only use it once a day, in the morning I use a regular oil free acne cleanser, then I night I use my wander the the scrub! This stuff is amazing and I love it!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I would like to start off by saying that I highly recommend the St. Ives Blemish Control Apricot Scrub! I love everything about this product. I use it about 2-3 times a week. It leaves my skin smooth and clean, and ready to take on the world! No more rough, dry, dead skin. Only a fresh, glowing face !

I have always been sceptical about drugstore products for pimples because none really do the job for me. My mother was using this and let me try it and OMG I love it! Its only been a few days now not even a week has pass by and my pimples are gone! I still have acne scars which I dont mind so much. I hope this scrub keeps on working for me because its affordable and so nice!

I have combination skin and am prone to breakouts. I tried many products over the years to help control my acne that I develop on my face, shoulders and chest. Many of the products helped in the beginning but then after a time they no longer worked? I've used St. Ives Acne Control Scrub for several years now on my face and chest and it still continues to help control my acne breakouts. Now I just get one pimple here or there once in a great while, and that is awesome to me! One thing I do though when using this product is after gently scrubbing my skin, I'll leave the scrub on for at least two minutes before rinsing it off. I feel this allows the salicylic acid to absorb into the skin better. Thank you for making a wonderful and effective product!!!

I have had acne for 3 years now and I am 16. I have tried Proactive, Clean & Clear, Clearsil, etc and they have not done anything to my face at all. But this did wonders! It made my dry skin and irritated skin soft again. And my acne fading in time. I highly recommend this product. YOU WILL NOT REGRET IT

This Apricot Scrub is what I use for my daily routine, shower routine, days a pimple pops on my face..this stuff if amazing and it works fast! I recommend this to everyone who has acne prone skin, good or bad. You're face just feels so soft and refreshed after. I usually buy the 10 oz containers and that'll usually last me a few months since I only use a small amount of it every time. I seldom will use this in the morning but I usually shower at night and that's when I'll use it so it can sit on my face while I shampoo. Before St.Ives I was going back and forth with other acne products and they just didn't work as good as this scrub. Believe me I'd rather use St. Ives Acne Scrub than Proactiv(yes I have tried Proactiv). This is truly an amazing product and wouldn't change to other products.
