MicroBeads and Skin: Thank you for your question. Products such as St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Scrub that contain micro-beads or other items are used to assist in sloughing off dead skin. Any product, even a gentle skin cleanser, can be aggressively used and cause irritation and potential micro-scarring to the epidermis of the skin. Certain medical conditions of the skin are also more prone to such damage as well.
