St. Ives is one of the best-known brands in the world of skin care — and there's one product that's particularly iconic: the St. Ives Acne Control Apricot Scrub, $2.79. This so-called "miracle" scrub is formulated with apricot fruit extract and walnut shell powder, as well as salicylic acid to help reduce breakouts and prevent acne.

Despite over 3,700 positive reviews on Amazon, the scrub has faced some controversy over recent years, including a high-profile lawsuit claiming it's too abrasive and damaging to skin. Read on to get the skinny on the popular face scrub.
