Collection: Stives Face Scrub 170g

St. Ives Face Scrub Price in Pakistan

All six St. Ives scrubs on this page cost exactly Rs. 999, so the decision here is entirely about which skin concern matters most, blackheads, general freshness, radiance, or gentle sensitivity. The Apricot Scrub is the brand's original, most iconic formula and has drawn some dermatologist criticism over the years for its irregular, sharp-edged exfoliating particles, worth knowing before assuming it's automatically the safest pick simply because it's the most recognizable name.

Why the Apricot Scrub Isn't Automatically the Right Default Choice

Its Walnut Shell Particles Are Sharper Than Most Modern Exfoliants

Ground walnut shell fragments have irregular, jagged edges compared to the smooth, round beads used in gentler physical exfoliants, which is why dermatologists have flagged the classic Apricot formula as potentially too abrasive for daily use or sensitive, acne-prone skin.

It Still Works Well for Occasional Use on Resilient Skin

For skin that isn't easily irritated, using this scrub once or twice a week rather than daily can still deliver the deep exfoliation the formula is known for without the risk of micro-tears that come from frequent, aggressive scrubbing.

The Gentler Alternatives Address the Same Concerns More Carefully

Oatmeal and Rose Water Aloe Vera Formulas Suit Reactive Skin

Both the Gentle Smoothing Oatmeal Scrub Mask and the Rose Water Aloe Vera scrub use softer, calming ingredients better suited to sensitive skin that reacts poorly to the sharper particles in the original Apricot formula.

Green Tea Targets Blackheads Without the Original Formula's Harshness

Marketed specifically for blackhead clearing, this variant offers a more targeted alternative to reaching for the classic Apricot scrub out of habit when the actual goal is clearer pores rather than general exfoliation.

Choosing Based on Skin Goal Rather Than Familiarity

Avocado & Honey Leans Toward Hydration Alongside Exfoliation

Unlike the purely exfoliating focus of some variants, this formula's avocado and honey base adds a moisturizing element, making it a better fit for drier skin that still wants a physical scrub without excessive stripping.

Pink Lemon & Mandarin Orange Focuses on a Brightening, Radiance Effect

This citrus-based formula is positioned for dull, tired-looking skin rather than acne or sensitivity concerns, making it the closest match on this page to a general glow-boosting scrub.

Best-Selling Products and Their Benefits

St. Ives Face Scrub, Fresh Skin Apricot, Rs. 999

Despite the abrasiveness concerns, this remains the brand's most recognized and frequently repurchased scrub, largely due to decades of established brand recognition.

St. Ives Face Mask, Gentle Smoothing Oatmeal Scrub Mask, Rs. 999

A popular pick for buyers who want the brand's exfoliating reputation without the original formula's sharper particles, this oatmeal-based option balances a mask format with mild scrubbing action.

Why All Six Variants Share the Same 170g Size and Price

Consistent Sizing Makes Comparing Purely About Ingredients

Because every scrub in this lineup matches on both size and price, there's no value trade-off to weigh between variants, unlike pages where larger sizes offer better per-unit cost, meaning the only real decision here is which formula suits your specific skin concern.

It Also Makes Trying Multiple Variants Low-Risk

Since none of the six options costs more than another, testing two or three formulas to find the one that works best for your skin doesn't come with the financial downside that comparing differently priced products elsewhere on this site might involve.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is the classic Apricot Scrub safe for acne-prone skin?

A: It can aggravate active breakouts due to its sharper exfoliating particles, so a gentler variant like the Oatmeal or Rose Water Aloe Vera formula is generally a safer choice for acne-prone skin.

Q: How often should any of these St. Ives scrubs be used?

A: Once or twice a week is typical for physical scrubs like these, more frequent use risks over-exfoliating and damaging the skin barrier regardless of which variant is chosen.

Q: Which variant is best for blackheads specifically?

A: The Blackhead Clearing Green Tea scrub is formulated and marketed specifically for that concern, making it a more targeted choice than the general-purpose Apricot formula.

Q: Can these scrubs be used on the body instead of just the face?

A: While formulated for facial skin, the milder variants can sometimes be used on body areas like elbows or knees, though the classic Apricot formula's sharper particles are generally better reserved for tougher, less sensitive body skin.
