Any facial exfoliant shouldn't really be used every day- your skin needs time to slough off the dead cells naturally, and by scraping your skin clean every day, you run the risk of irritation and blemishes. Use it a couple of times a week.

No way. WAY to harsh on your face. Once a week at the most. If you have acne prone skin, using it more than once a week WILL make your face worse.
The scrub is made from ground-up apricot shells. They still can tear up your skin because they are so hard. You want to use a scrub everyday, then buy something that is much softer (some scrubs contain beads that are gentle) and save the St. Ives.

It really shouldnt be used more than 3 times a week. It isnt good to use exfolients too often. If you have bad acne or Blackheads you can use proactiv everyday the cleanser is an exfolient but the key is its followed up by a toner and moiturizing lotion. It seems like it costs alot but its really only $20/month and you would spend that on products anyway and these help sooooooooo much even if you dont have severe acne. And you can cancel you membership anytime so like get 2 shipments and cancel because i only use it once a day so 1 shipment lasts me like 6 months.
Hope this is helpful!

Ive been using it everyday for the last 7 years. I wash my hands and face with regular soap then put the scrub on and rinse it off with warm (not hot) water then pat my face dry...no problems

I would say yes, if it is used very gently. The key here is to not irritate the skin, but a gentle exfoliation.
