I have been using St. Ives facial scrub for many years now, and I have never been unhappy with the way it works. My skin always feels refreshed and clean after using it, and I have never had an allergic reaction to the product.
The biggest problem I have with this facial scrub is finding it when I want to use it! My teenage daughters love it as much as I do, and they are constantly swiping it from my bathroom. Even when I have gone so far as to buy them each their own tube of it, mine eventually disappears.
A big plus when using St. Ives is that it rinses clean. So many scrubs I have tried are next to impossible to get off the skin, but this is not a problem with St. Ives. Clear water splashed on the face will easily remove it.
As an adult who still has the unpleasant experience of occasional acne outbreaks, I have found St. Ives to be very effective in keeping my skin clean and minimizing those outbreaks. It is one of the best skin care products I have found, and I highly recommend it.
