Pros:

Smell
Ingredients
Everything!

Cons:

None

In combination with Garnier "PURE" Toner (which I use in the AM once I wake up, and in the PM after using St. Ives Naturally Clear) I am CLEAR of acne. I fought with mild/moderate acne for over a decade - this product is amazing and I wish I found it sooner. I am very thankful for this.

Pros:

This is a miracle product! I'm finally free from acne!

Cons:

None

I tried to use so many different acne regimen and cleansers. One day my mom came in and told me to use her cleanser. She said it cleared up everyone that she recommended it to. It worked for me!

Pros:

smells great
effective
not too abrasive
natural ingredients
gentle

Cons:

a bit drying

I was kind of hesitant about trying a scrub at first because I didn't want it to hurt my face, but this was perfect. It has enough beads to clean deeply, yet not to the point of being painful. I LOVE the smell. My other cleansers made my face smell terrible, but this is great. HOWEVER, it is a little drying. I would definitely recommend using a moisturizer after washing your face with this. Once, I skipped and got the WORST zit ever. All and all, though, it's reduced redness and size. :)

Pros:

Not drying
Not harshly abrasive
Leaves skin fresh

Cons:

No big ones

I love this as an occasional scrub. I know abrasives such as the silica sand used in this product are not supposed to be good for the skin, but I can only take so much flaking before I begin to feel like my face has two layers: one of live skin, one of the dead, BP-induced flakes on top! I find that using this product once every 7-14 days leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. Plus, if I use it when I have a visible pimple or two, I find that it tends to cause them to go away more quickly than the Regimen alone. It's not for everyday use--no exfoliator should be used daily--but as a once-in-a-while treatment, it's marvelous.

Pros:

-smells AMAZING.
-cleanses well
-not sure about the makeup though cuz i dont wear it.
-reduces acne only by a little
-leaves skin bright and looking healthy.

Cons:

-the beads are very tiny
when i cleanse my face, and i accidentally get it to my hair line, it stays there and looks like dandruff.
-feels more like a cleanser.

Recommend to friends But I prefer the St. Ives Apricot Scrub FTW ^-^

Pleasant
I've been using this for months now, twice weekly.It has a nice smell and texture, not too grainy and harsh it's pretty good for the price too.Refrain from using it daily lol.This is a scrub,mind you.

Pros:

Smells really good.

Cons:

Everything else.

At the start of my use of this product it worked amazingly. My face looked better then ever, I mean I was really loving this stuff till about the second week. Slowly I started to see every pore on my face form a miniature "white head" and I started to break out ridiculously bad. In places I have never had acne before. My skin was very irritated and bright red. I was devistated and made an appointment to see a dermatologist for the first time ever in my life which also made me feel awful because I thought this stuff was gonna be my scrub of choice but I guess not. Needless to say I was shocked how it could work and then wreck my face in such a short time. Bottom line is... its awful. Dont get it unless you dont have a problem with getting more acne:D its taken me close to 2 months to somewhat bounce back from this.
