St. Ives: Get to Know Us!

St. Ives: Get to Know Us

Want to know how to get glowing skin? You’ve come to the perfect place. Our products were all made to bring the joy of nature to your skin while making it glow - all without crossing into shiny skin territory (not cute). That’s why our entire lineup features natural moisturizers, exfoliators, and extracts! We also just really, really love apricots. Think of St. Ives as your go-to for great-smelling cleansers, lotions, masks, and body washes you can use on the daily to get glowing skin that feels super-hydrated and oh-so-silky smooth.

The Science of Exfoliation

The Science of Exfoliation

Did you know your skin is constantly renewing itself? Basically, your body is always making new skin cells: while you sleep, while you eat, during class or morning status meetings at work- you get the point! However, the process isn’t perfect. Sometimes these old cells don’t flake off quickly enough; this build-up can leave you with a rough, dull, tired-looking complexion. Enter the exfoliating face scrub! Used correctly, these deep facial cleansers can help boost radiance by gently buffing away leftover dead skin cells. Properly exfoliated skin looks fresher, smoother, and downright glow-ier. Now go forth and exfoliate responsibly with one of our face scrubs, made with natural facial exfoliators.

How to Use

How to Use

  1. Squeeze a dime sized amount of St. Ives Acne Control Facial Scrub Apricot onto your fingertips and massage into damp skin. Spread in small circular motions, applying gentle pressure to wake your skin’s natural circulation.
  2. Work the face wash all over, right up to your hairline and onto the sides of your nose.
  3. When you’re done, rinse and pat dry with a clean towel. Use the exfoliating facial scrub 3-4 times a week (depending on skin) for best results.

Product Description

Product Description

Bye-bye blemishes! From America's #1 scrub brand*, St. Ives Apricot Acne Control Face Scrub contains 100% natural walnut shell powder to deeply exfoliate for glowing skin. The 2% salicylic acid in this scrub helps prevent acne and can also help tackle 'maskne' (acne caused by protective face masks). Adding this deep cleaning face scrub to your routine along with replacing and washing your protective face masks frequently are some ways to help combat 'maskne.' This scrub also contains apricot fruit extract, which is known to help skin feel super soft and smooth. Apricots are our thing. Our apricots come from sun-drenched California and North Africa. Our walnuts are grown in orchards in California and harvested in the fall where the shells are finely milled and polished, so they only exfoliate the outer layers of dead skin cells. Just the way we like it. This scrub is dermatologist tested, paraben free, non-comedogenic (not tending to cause blocked pores), and oil free. And it’s simple to use. Just squeeze a dime sized amount onto your fingertips and massage onto damp skin. Spread in small circular motions to wake your skin’s natural circulation. When you’re done, rinse and glow. For best results, use up to 3-4 times a week. St. Ives products are made with 100% natural moisturizers, exfoliants, and/or extracts to bring the joy of nature into our skin care products to give you soft, refreshed skin that glows. St. Ives does not test on animals anywhere in the world and is certified by PETA. When it comes to making you glow, St. believes that spending more time with nature can boost your happiness and have a serious de-stress effect of your mind, body and skin care. Please reference product packaging for the latest ingredient list. *Full-sized scrubs only, excluding trial & travel.
