Once again, this product is actually nothing new but it has undergone a re-design and there is now a wider range of scrubs available so I decided to still review it anyway. Personally, I am loving this product as an exfoliater it works pretty well considering it's under a fiver (perfect for my temperamental student purse).
Only St. Ives captures the secrets of naturally beautiful and healthy looking skin in this deep cleansing formula that gently exfoliates, removing dull, dead skin cells that can lead to blackheads and blemishes.

Only St. Ives captures the secrets of naturally beautiful and healthy looking skin in this deep cleansing formula that gently exfoliates, removing dull, dead skin cells that can lead to blackheads and blemishes.
Contains more than 85% naturally derived ingredients, including Swiss glacial water and Swiss botanicals.
Helps prevent blackheads and unclogs pores.
Promotes healthier-looking skin in just 7 days.
Directions:
Wet your face with water. Dispense product
onto fingertips and massage
over face. Rinse with water. Avoid direct contact with eyes. In case of contact with eyes, flush thoroughly with water. For best results, use 3 to 4 times per week.
When using this product I definitely felt it wasn't too harsh, however it really depends on how much pressure you yourself apply when you scrub.
Some people feel that if you can't feel a product ripping away the dead layers of your skin it's not working but this really isn't the case you
only need to gently massage your face and if a product did require that
much force to work, I would question whether it was truly a quality
product considering how delicate our skin is.
What is great about this scrub is that not only is it oil free and all the rest of that good stuff, it also contains 100% natural exfoliants and 100% natural extracts, which I like to take as a good sign as it means I am not putting and harsh artificial chemicals on my kin that may irritate and
damage it.

Price: ♥♥♥♥♥ currently on sale at £1.99 in Superdrug!!!
Effectiveness: ♥♥♥ skin feels smoother and softer.
Pros: removes dirt and oil well, skin did feel smoother and blemishes were reduced.
Con: hmm... personally my skin wasn't so much 'brighter' but more smoother.
Recommend? YES- also has versions for gentle, dry and mature skin so try out different types to find one that works for you.
I have to green labeled one (sample) and was wondering wether or not to purchase this one as the non-sale is about 5£. Not too expensive but hey, 5£ buys me a meal :P I think I'll give it a go as I adored the green one.
