How to Use:
- Wet your face with lukewarm water to open pores and prepare the skin.
- Dispense a small amount of St. Ives Acne Control Apricot Scrub onto your fingertips.
- Gently massage onto face using small, circular motions, focusing on areas prone to oiliness, roughness, or breakouts (such as forehead, nose, and chin). Avoid the delicate eye area.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel. Use 3–4 times per week, or as tolerated, depending on your skin’s sensitivity and your dermatologist’s advice. Preferably follow with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
- For daytime use, follow with a broad-spectrum sunscreen, as exfoliation and acne-control ingredients can increase skin sensitivity to the sun.
