While St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub is dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, it contains physical exfoliants (walnut shells and apricot pits) which can be too abrasive for very sensitive skin. It is best suited for balanced to oily skin. If you have sensitive skin, consider patch-testing first or opting for a gentler exfoliant. ### How often should I use St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub? For optimal results, it is recommended to use St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub 3 to 4 times per week. Using it more frequently, especially on sensitive skin, could lead to over-exfoliation and irritation. Always listen to your skin's needs. ### What are the benefits of using St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub?

It helps to unclog pores and remove impurities, making it beneficial for balanced to oily skin types. ### Can I use St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub daily? It is generally not recommended to use St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub daily, as its deep exfoliation can be too harsh for daily use and may lead to skin irritation. The product directions suggest using it 3-4 times per week. ### What is the difference between St. Ives Apricot Scrub and other exfoliants? St. Ives Apricot Scrub uses natural, finely milled walnut shells and apricot pits for physical exfoliation, offering a deep cleanse. Many other exfoliants might use finer particles, enzymatic actions, or chemical exfoliants like AHAs/BHAs, which can offer a gentler or different type of exfoliation. ### Does St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub contain parabens? No, St. Ives Apricot Facial Scrub is formulated without parabens. It is also dermatologist-tested and non-comedogenic, meaning it is less likely to clog pores. ### How long does a 6 oz tube of St. Ives Apricot Scrub last?
