ST. Ives150ml Gentle Smoothing Oatmeal Scrub & Mask, 150 ml (Pack of 1)

been using this for several years. if used as a mask, it is good at removing blackheads and tightening pores. good as a wash too.

This is now my new holy grail.Let me start with the smell. It smells just like a holiday, I could sit and sniff it all day, it’s such a comforting smell, and not too overpowering or perfumed.The texture of the product is a cream based formula so it does not foam up on your face. I personally find it quite uncomfortable when a wash foams up and I find it goes in your eyes and nose whether you want it to or not. This definitely doesn’t do that. It is thick and grainy, which is fabulous for exfoliation.My number one favourite about this though is the face that it is a 2-in-1 product, it’s a face wash plus a mask. So when I have a shower, I wet my face, give it a good massage with this product and then leave it on my skin while I was my hair and body. I then rinse it off at the end, so it’s sometimes on for a good 20 minutes. I personally don’t find that it leaves my skin feeling tight either, it’s very comfortable and keeps the dry skin at bay. The bottle is a great size and my last bottle last me months.This can’t be beaten for a high street brand and the price point.

This is the best gentle exfoliator I’ve used on my dry skin. Excellent value for money too.

I'm a 27-year-old guy with dry skin that is prone to minor breakouts. At first I was wary, and normally I would wait a few months before I review, but I've had this product for around 2 weeks and it is definitely making a difference to my skin. My dry skin is almost gone, there's no irritation, it helps prevent blackheads and overall it makes my skin feel like all the grime and dead skin has been stripped off. You apply a layer and leave for 5-7 minutes and it works it magic, but it is quite difficult to wash off and if not done correctly it will leave a white crusty residue. I use this product every 2 days and my skin is very soft and evenly toned.I do, however, have a small issue with the smell. It smells of a thick, chemically sweet soap beneath a fine layer of porridge. I can't stand smelly products, especially chemical/artificial smells. This definitely isn't much of a natural product.

Skin felt really smooth after using it

I've loved St. Ives facial scrubs for a long time but only ever found this particular one on Amazon. Will buy again, no doubt.

I like this product and used to buy it for a little under 3 quid from my local Homebase, but unfortunately I had to pay a bit more and order it at a higher cost from Amazon since I couldn’t find it anywhere else. I’m fine with paying a little more for the scrub as it agrees with my skin. My only criticism is that the product arrived with sticky tape over the lid. Not sure if this was to prevent a leak or because it had already been opened. Made me feel uneasy.

This a great facial scrub. I have sensitive skin and I am able to use it, makes skin smooth. Has tiny particles that do not scratch the skin
