St. Ives Apricot Scrub Investigation

Yes! I need the backstory!!

Dr Shah and Dr Maxfield, because of you guys I finally met a dermatologist last week. You guys set the bar so high, I was a tad disappointed with the dermatologist I saw because your energy and smiles are the best

For that reason I'm not even going to book one, it will be disappointing 🤔 I'm going to keep following Doctorly and hope their content doesn't stop

[@entjuicebox541]

Weird. Because I have acne prone skin and St Ives has actually helped my skin a lot. I think people forget that skincare products are pretty personalised. Everyone’s skin is different.

[@vivianna2805]

Same for me, st Ives worked for me

[@nalbinalbii888]

did it give you wrinkles?

[@GhastlyGremlin]

I only use st Ives, my skin gets rough fast, and it does wonders, been using for years and have had no problems. I don't wash my face with it daily, so that probably helps

[@lou8078]

It helps me too, it’s about common sense and experimenting with what works for you, I use it when my hands are really rough and dry as then emollients work more efficiently on me 🤷‍♀️

[@Maryam.Khurram]

st.ives oatmeal scrub has totally changed my skin tone,texture,look all is positive means. i love it

[@tuttitay7938]

I've been using that for 2 years and haven't had a problem 😅 I use it once a day and works fine for my skin.

[@katkat4392]

I love seeing the pictures from the microscope! I really enjoy you sharing and educating on the science of skin care.

[@landdesigner4195]

However, look at St. Ives Medicated Apricot Scrub, yes the particles may be similar, but it has salicylic acid and worked as a great economical mini-mask to help shrink pours and exfoliate. People just need to know to not scrub aggressively, it made a huge difference in the texture of my skin.

[@marikroyals7111]

I use the same one you do and it's the only scrub that I feel works and feels like a scrub and isn't that harsh on my skin.

[@raheemcamal998]

True

[@te-pm3dk]

🙌🏾 I’m with you on that. It’s crazy that a 4 dollar product works wayyyyyy better than Paula’s choice without having to wait 4 weeks to see results and spending $40😢. I don’t care what anyone says, this stuff is great 😊 especially (like you mentioned), if you don’t scrub aggressively.

I am allergic to nuts and didn't know it had walnuts in it for years. So many of these "popular" products made my skin worse too! Sea Breeze...astringents...😬😖

[@BirgitBauhaus]

No.. I don't think that your Rosacea is coming because of using this Stuff. Thats BS...what's up in your Family with Skin Problems? Are there more with hypersensitive Skin? And do you use since your "Youngster Times" SPF-Creames? That's the Way it goes. .

[@BirgitBauhaus]

@@alyssamurphy2002 : it's declared on the Packaging...I read always before using anything what Indigrients are inside!

[@veronicavaldez1246]

Thank you for taking the time to do this videos 🙏

[@Somegirl811]

Can someone explain how scrubs are harmful but microdermabrasion and other procedures that cut and tear the skin are not harmful? I've never hurt my face with apricot scrub. Seems to be working fine. Maybe it's a matter of how hard you smash it into your skin?

[@christinag40216]

Sure.. they cost more money so therefore they are more recommended

[@megaliberty]

Twice I ended up with walnut shell in my eyes. The second time I was putting on my jacket, headed to the hospital to have the shell flushed out, when the piece finally popped out of my eye on its own. It was that painful. Never Again, St. Ives!

Can you do a Video on product/treatment solutions for elasticity, skin tightening & drooping skin? Lots of videos address texture, clarity & lines, but not much on uplifting other than fillers & surgery.

[@Vanyel_K]

Check out the James Welsh videos about the St ives court case. Turns out most of the 'evidence' is not as solid as people thought. Most were from one publication source in New York that posted a few articles. The shells are quite rough but apparently well within regulations. Well at least that's what is happening in the court case. Would love to know what these Drs say.

[@JasminMiettunen]

The court case failed to prove the microtears claim, still doesn’t mean it’s a good product. Dr. Shah didn’t make any unsubstantiated claims about microtears, just objectively pointed out how it looks under a microscope. Just because it doesn’t cause microtears doesn’t mean it can’t be a bad product.

All of you guys are saying things like “St Ives sucks” or whatever but I’ve used it since I was little and it works perfectly fine. Not everyone’s skin is the same and it might do that to some skin, but not mine. My grandma has used it since she was my age, and she’s never had one issue with it, or her skin. Honestly nobody should stop using it because people say it’s bad, if you’ve been using it and nothing has happened, your perfectly fine.

[@BeautyWithInOutNailsMakeup]

Oh heck no that will tear up your skin big time! The vees is a good cleanser and moisturizer they sell that at CVS too so don’t knock CVS for everything there’s actually dermatologist approved cleansers out there and scrubs but sometimes you as a patient don’t always need to use a scrub just because others do it doesn’t mean you need to do it as your skin care regimen because you might not even need it at all

[@crofregernish4695]

As a microbiologist I was so excited when you brought out the microscope 🦠 I would love to see a video on skin texture. My foundation always ends up sinking into my pores and making my skin look dry. I've tried everything makeup-wise. Send help

[@MG-le9ue]

I have this problem and found that less is more. I use a tinted moisturizer/BB cream and powder foundation most days and my skin looks SO much better and I don’t have the pores full of foundation problem. I’m actually loving Laura Gellar powder foundation right now which makes me feel odd and old, like am I a QVC shopper now? 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@tapdancingrabbits124]

Make sure your primer and foundation have the same base, so both water based or both silicone based

[@itsaaronlolz]

the green tea one was good because it used hydrated silica as the exfoliator, now they switched it for the walnut shells. 😡

[@1hinckley]

NuFace is saying that micro-current increases ATP production. Cleveland Clinic has an article about microcurent being used for pain relief and how micro current increases ATP. So could that increase in ATP help with aging skin?

[@rebirth2371]

Do a video on Urea. Hardly any content out there on how great it is!

[@llyza277]

can you do reaction or ingredients discussion for best selling products from brands like COSRX, The Ordinary. Like what's with the hype or is it worth the hype? As an Asian, I'm still confused of what products to choose because we have tons of skin care products

[@cathys949]

This stuff is horrible for your plumbing, as well as being very hard on your skin. Try using a linen or linen/cotton cloth to wash with - it has a slightly rough texture and doesn't clog your drains.

[@Aniastasia]

It's probably not the best, but I still like it personally. :) Been using it since high school and never had problems with it.

[@user-ij5lu9ph2p]

It's not that it's not THE best, it's that it's literally HARMFUL for you so idk why you go around defending a product that definitely doesn't care about you, or anyone else and only care about making money (walnut shells are cheap and so less production cost, more profit). It might be alright now, maybe because you are still young, but in the long run the bad stuff will show.

[@Aniastasia]

@@user-ij5lu9ph2p I don't ''go around'' defending anything. I know it's not the best option out there. I just said I like it from my personal experience. That's it. :/

[@user-ij5lu9ph2p]

@@Aniastasia There's already scientific evidence that it does cause your skin microtears (which of course we won't see thru the naked eye but they are still wounds on the skin) and the microscope test the doctor in the video just did only proves it. Sorry if it came out rude but I'm just trying to explain how bad the whole thing is, with the company still selling it despite doctors saying it is literally harmful and making use of their marketing to sell it and even downright lying in everyone's faces. Tho anecdotes like this don't really help, I'm mad at the companies who still sell this and don't even try improving their products just because it sells, not you. It's never the victim's fault. Again, it might feel okay right now but PROLONGED use will show the consequences eventually, of course it will not be immediate but gradual. Just trying to help and look out for others and everyone's skin health. But in the end of course it's your choice what you do.

I’ve been using St. Ives since high school. I love it. Haven’t changed yet. Let me just say this..... My 2 granddaughters don’t use it. They use some expensive stuff. They have acne, I never did. So you can kind of figure out how old I am! :). But I will say this, my older granddaughter said I’m the youngest grandma in her class. She’s in high school now so there is no ‘class’ anymore. Happy Easter!

[@codyrasco7265]

Thanks for doing these videos. I’m wondering if a damaged skin barrier could lead to/look like acne, and how to tell which to treat? I.e. For acne you’d want to use actives, but for damaged skin, I’m assuming you wouldn’t. Hope that questions makes sense. Thanks!

But we - especially ME or I - used Seasand-Scrubs a lot of Years! They are harsh to the Skin, but I've used them tenderly and they worked beautiful! I also do my own special Self-Made-Body-Scrub when I'm on the Beaches in Sri Lanka. ..I scrub my whole Body with the Sea-Sand there....Same Thing.

The ingredient, Isobutylamido Thiazolyl Resorcinol (Thiamidol) has some really nice and emerging data on it for treating dyspigmentation. Generally is well tolerated. Eucerin has a similar product, Anti-Pigment Dual Serum, which also has licorice root which can help as well. I'm personally intrigued by these -Dr. Maxfield
