It's not suitable for sensitive skin. It's quite irritating.
When this got in my eyes, I almost died for real. My eyes were really, really painful, and I almost had to go to the emergency room. I cried a ton and it eventually resolved... Be careful.

The cleansing power seems good.
The granules feel quite massaged, so it gives a sense of more thorough cleansing.

(해외) 프레쉬 스킨 애프리콧 스크럽

Since it's a scrub, I haven't been able to use it as often as I thought, and I'm disappointed that I haven't finished it yet.

I'm famous for liking creamy products, so I bought this product.

Guys, be sure to use it on days when you've been exercising or outdoors for a long time,
when you've been covered in a lot of dust!
They say that if the exfoliation is not done properly,
you can get small pimples on your skin!

The only downside is that the cream? that comes with the scrub
doesn't seem to wash off well ㅠ
I like to scrub until my skin feels squeaky clean,
but on some days I can't help but..
Other than that, I'm very satisfied.

My life scrub!
As a man, I need exfoliation, exfoliation.
I heard it hammered into my ears,
but my skin was so sensitive.
Even if I used gel or mud products in addition to the scrub,
my skin was so irritated.
But this friend I met in the meantime
had no irritation at all!!
So I'm already on my third purchase,
and the smooth feeling after scrubbing is great
and the peach-like scent is nice.
I use it about twice a week, and for sure,
after using it, the blackheads are gone too,
so I'm very satisfied with this product.
I don't write many reviews,
but this is the first time I'm giving a 5-star product.^^

 The product has the highest scrub effect index printed on the back of the container... If you have sensitive skin, I recommend checking the scrub effect index at an offline store like Olive Young before purchasing and choosing a GENTLE~MODERATE product.
Also, I've been using this product not only for my skin but also as a lip scrub, and it's really great. I apply a generous amount of Vaseline the night before, then gently roll it on in the morning and apply lip balm - my lips stay moisturized all day long🤭 I think it can also be used as a body scrub substitute.

 The downside is that it is quite irritating. I don't have any issues with my skin, so I've been continuing to use it, but for those with sensitive skin, it might be difficult to use... The scrub particles are also extremely large and don't dissolve, so if you scrub with too much force, your skin may hurt. When using it, it's important to apply gentle pressure, roll it along the grain of your skin, and have patience while scrubbing. And while the scent was lovely at first, after continued use, it became overpowering - the fragrance is quite strong. That's something to keep in mind.

 My skin is what you might call 'steel skin' - I've never felt that any product I've used so far has been too irritating for my skin, even though I do have some blemishes. The St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub has a strong sweet apricot scent, and the exfoliating particles are much larger than other scrubs. Since I heard the 'scrub effectiveness index' was DEEP, I wanted to see how well it worked, and after using it, I could see that my face was left feeling incredibly smooth... It also has great moisture, and right after using it, there's no tightness at all - my skin is left feeling soft and hydrated. It's really impressive. However, the tightness does come back later, so it's best to do your full skincare routine right after using it. I usually go with a mask -> scrub -> skincare -> makeup, and on the days I do that whole routine, my makeup applies so much better. The amount of product is also really generous - I usually buy it when it's on sale at Olive Young for around 5,000 won, and it lasts me a long time.

The key is to gently roll it on your skin. I use it with a bit of lukewarm water, massaging it in. I put a little more pressure when scrubbing my nose, and it feels so refreshing! My blackheads have also decreased. After using this, I follow up with a cleansing foam, preferably one that contains white clay or can absorb pore impurities.

If you scrub too hard, it can be painful, and if you don't rinse it off properly, there might be some residue left on your forehead or in your hair. The texture is a mix of cream and granules, so after cleansing, there might be a slightly slippery or sticky feeling, which isn't very pleasant. In that case, it's better to use a cleansing foam to wash your face one more time.

❤ After using this, my skin feels so soft and smooth. It effectively removes dead skin cells. I've tried almost every product for blackheads, but using this scrub and cleansing oil alternately has really made a difference! My skin has improved a lot, and I plan to continue using it. I've also recommended it to my friends, and they all said it worked great for them too. 👃❤

The granules are quite large, so it feels quite irritating, but there weren't any visible reddening or anything like that.
However, since it's not a water-soluble type, even after rinsing repeatedly, the granules remain on my face and hairline.
Until then, I had been using a water-soluble type, and I tried the St. Ives Body Wash, which I really liked, but I didn't realize how inconvenient the non-water-soluble type would be.
It's okay if I wash my hair as well (although there are still some granules left on the days I use the scrub), but if I just do facial cleansing and skincare without washing my hair, the granules keep coming out from somewhere, and it drives me crazy.
It's no exaggeration to say that I'm writing this review because of this issue.

I won't be repurchasing.

Scrubbing does provide visible exfoliation effects, so you can see the benefits of using a scrub.

Gently!!!!!!! Absolutely!!!!!!! Rolling!!!!!!Gently!!!!!!!!!

The only downside, hmm well, the particles are a bit large? But even that is not really a big issue, I just wish they were a bit smaller.

The exfoliation works very well, and even though I have sensitive skin, it was not too irritating!
Attention to all of you who scrub vigorously with scrub products! 
Scrub products should be used by gently rolling with the fingertips on any skin type!
You should never apply pressure and roll forcefully!
Fingertips!!!! Gently!!!!!!! Relaxed!!!!!!!!

No troubles at all, it's great. The only downside is that it's a bit more expensive in Korea than in the US.

Excellent value! The scrub works well and is not too irritating.

First disappointing point
= It's a shame that 3 out of the 20 main ingredients are concerning... But it's still usable, so it's okay.

First good point
= I bought it on sale at Olive Young, but I didn't know it would be this good... Anyway, the fragrance is very good. It seems to be apricot-scented, but it's also very sweet, so I felt good using it the whole time.

Second good point
= The exfoliation is just extremely great. When I use it on my face, it removes all the sebum and blackheads, and the dead skin also disappears, so it's really good.
When I use it on my body, it becomes really soft and smooth.

Third good point
= It's made with walnut shell powder, so it doesn't have a very bad impact on the environment. I heard that there are products made with microplastics, but this is a much better product.

Since it seems to suit my skin well, I don't have any complaints.

This is the first time I've used a face scrub, and there's no irritation at all. After using it, my skin feels clean, soft, and refreshed. I bought it at Olive Young during a 50% sale, so it was very affordable.

A day or two after use, I felt a lot of itchiness in the areas where I applied the product. The itchiness continued even after showering.
The walnut shell granules are more irritating than expected.
It has the cheap smell of an automobile air freshener.

The skin feels moisturized and smooth immediately after use. Compared to the products I've used before, this is definitely better.

If you dampen it with a little water, you can use it a bit more gently.

My skin felt too irritated. This was the most disappointing part.

The amount seemed to be more than expected, so I was able to use it for a long time.

When you open the lid, the product immediately gushes out, which is very frustrating.

The scrub granules are so disappointing.
Other products dissolve when scrubbing, but these don't dissolve and feel like plastic granules.
Especially around the eye area, it stings terribly.

The fragrance is pleasant and the exfoliation is quite effective.
