How to Use:

1. Start by wetting your face and neck with lukewarm water to help open pores and prepare the skin for exfoliation.
2. Dispense a small amount of St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub onto your fingertips and apply to damp skin, avoiding the immediate eye area.
3. Gently massage the scrub onto the skin using small, circular motions for about 30–60 seconds, focusing on areas with roughness, flakiness, or congestion (such as forehead, nose, and chin). Do not apply excessive pressure to avoid irritation.
4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a soft towel. Use 2–3 times per week, or as tolerated, depending on your skin type and sensitivity. For very sensitive skin, reduce frequency.
5. Follow with a gentle toner (if used), hydrating serum, and moisturizer. In the morning, always apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen after exfoliation, as newly revealed skin can be more sensitive to the sun.

Suitable For:

• Skin Types: Normal, combination, and oily skin. May be too intense for very sensitive or highly reactive skin; patch test is recommended.
• Hair Types: Not applicable – this is a facial and body scrub, not a haircare product.
• Concerns: Dullness, uneven texture, flaky skin, rough patches, congestion, and skin that lacks smoothness and glow.

Results:

• Immediate results include skin that feels smoother, cleaner, and more refreshed right after rinsing, with a visible fresh glow.
• With regular use over 2–4 weeks, skin texture may appear more refined, rough areas reduced, and overall radiance and softness improved, depending on individual skin condition and routine.

Side Effects:

• May cause mild temporary redness or a tingling sensation, especially on first use or on sensitive skin, due to physical exfoliation.
• Slight irritation or dryness may occur if used too frequently or with excessive pressure, particularly on delicate or thin skin.
• Rare allergic reactions may occur in individuals sensitive to any of the ingredients, such as nut-derived exfoliants (walnut shell powder) or fragrance.
• Note: If severe irritation, rash, burning, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and consult a dermatologist or healthcare professional.

Precautions:

• Patch test recommended before first use on a small area of skin, especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.
• Avoid direct contact with eyes. If the product gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with plenty of water.
• For external use only. Do not ingest or apply to broken, irritated, or sunburned skin.
• Discontinue use if irritation, excessive dryness, or sensitivity occurs and seek medical advice if symptoms persist.
• Because exfoliation can increase sun sensitivity, use a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day and limit prolonged sun exposure after use.
• Keep out of reach of children to prevent accidental ingestion or misuse.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and excessive heat. Always close the cap tightly after use to maintain product quality.
