Apricot Scrubble is a foaming scrub/wash, I tend to stay away from foaming facial products as I find they leave the skin feeling completely stripped, tight and uncomfortably dry, however, Apricot Scrubble is soap-free, without any SLS/SLES therefore it doesnt cause any of the above, you're just left with skin that feels truely clean. It contains brightening Apricot Oil and triple refined Walnut Powder to gently wash away dead skin cells and reveal a smooth glowing complexion, leaving behind no pore-clogging residue.
The 'scrubby bits' definately do their job and are larger than any mechanical scrubs I've used in the past. It claims to be mild enough for everyday use but everyday would be too much for my skin (combination and slightly sensitive). To me, Apricot Scrubble might not be the best scrub for those with overly sensitive skin but if you like a scrub that you can actually feel working, doesnt cause any irritation and leaves your skin cleaner than clean then you should really give this a try.

Just remember not to be over enthusiastic with the scrubbing or you will cause more damage than good, same with any facial scrub.
I've tried 3 products from JASON now and can honestly say its a brand that delivers results. Yes the products were sent to me but that in no way sways my reviews, I'm not going to big up a product if its rubbish, why would I when people can try it for themselves. Obviously what works for me may not work for others, everyone is different and thats why I always state my skin type and who I think the product I'm reviewing would or wouldnt work for.

This looks lovely. I've never heard of Jason before! I do really like the St Yves Apricot Scrub (the one for gentle skin) but I think it's still too harsh for my skin. The Clinique 7 Day Scrub Cream is really nice too because it's a thick cream with only tiny exfoliating beads so it's a little better for sensitive skin. Since using my Clarisonic I haven't used a scrub once (woops!) but would love to try the Liz Earle one - have you tried it?x
ReplyDeleteI hadnt heard of JASON either, glad I have now though and its not ridiculously over priced.
DeleteSt Yves was the first exfoliator I ever used, it was harsh but I loved it at the time. Yup I've got the Liz Earle exfoliator, mentioned it in a post a while back.. http://beentheredonethatgotthelipstick.blogspot.com/2011/11/scrubba-dub-dub-current-exfoliators.html its just Cleanse & Polish with 'scrubby bits' in it.
