Does St. Ives Apricot scrub Black Head control really work?

Question

I mean like I've been using it for like months and there are still pimples on my face. I use the St. Ives every time i take a shower which is like 2 times a day morning and night. My friends at school always say,"Dame dude, you have a lot of pimples". Does St. Ives really work? I'm getting kind of irritated..And is it okay to use St. Ives 2 times a day?

How else should i get rid of my pimples?

Answer 1

St.Ives Apricot scrub is good for exfoliating your skin, but its not on your face. I've tried it on my face and it made me break out. I think it has too many oils in it or something, but yeah definitely NOT on the face.

Its best to use a facial cleanser that is for sensitive skin. So, no matter what kinda skin you have it won't make you break out. Pro active works for alot of people and its not too bad in price. It hasn't worked for me, but i know its helped friends and family of mine. I've also heard witch hazel works, my friend used it and it really worked for her.

Using a mask 2 - 3 times a week, like a mud mask from wal-mart or zellers. If that doesn't work i would go to your doctor or a dermatologist and see what they would recommend.

Hope you find something that cures your acne.. I've had acne for years and I've always hated it. Last but not least, don't let it put your confidence down though, your personality is more important than what you look like.

Good Luck :)

Answer 2

no it doesn't work. try Noxzema or if that doesn't help your doctor can perscribe a cream that will help.

try everything in the store, nothing works the same for two different faces.

Answer 3

it doesn't sound as if it is working, you would have noticed an improvement by now if it was. maybe you need stronger stuff. your doctor can prescribe things that you cant buy on the shelf, and they often work better because they are stronger.

Answer 4

no it doesn't try the noxema blackhead .. that works great!!

Answer 5

well do you have pimples or blackheads? because there is a difference!

if you have pimples then your using the wrong stuff.....use st ives apricot cleanser blemish control before you go to bed at night and then try using something like neutrogena stress free acne foam wash in the morning...even if you dont go with neutrogena, use something different in the morning....something gentle without beads...but the st ives CLEANSER not SCRUB should work for the pimples, it works really well...always clears my face by morning!
