Does the St. Ives Apricot Scrub damage your face?

They are correct, if they used it too much. Exfoliation, which is why St. Ives Aprictot Scrub was made for, is meant to only be used 1-2 times a week. I'm in umption that the person used it daily, which is not recommended for exfoliation, especially with a sandy/gritty scrub like St. Ives. It is a excellent scrub, but I only recommend it for once a week. And besides that one day/use, I recommend Cetaphil or Neutrogena Facial Bar afterwards. Therefore you decrease your chances of cutting up your skin, while you gently exfoliate :) It is very important to exfoliate, but every and every night is not the way. Only once in a morning, once a week.
