Pros:

made skin soft, made skin smooth, acne less red, smells good

Cons:

occasional irritation

The first time I used this, my skin was BADLY irritated. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I had never exfoliated before (I was 14) I've used it with caution a few times since then, and it's worked better every time!

Love this stuff!
I bought this in hopes that it would remove all the dry skin flakes, and just really exfoliate my skin. It works great! After using it daily for about 2 weeks I read that the little scrubby beads in it are harmful to your skin, however it makes my skin feel wonderful and smooth and fresh. I've reduced it to every other day or so rather than 2 times a day just so I don't risk any skin damaging. I scrub gently as well.

Meh.

Pros:

does a good job at sloughing off flaky skin
smells AMAZING
inexpensive

Cons:

can be too abrasive

First of all, I love the smell of it. Even the tube itself smells good (don't ask me how I know that.) However, I feel like it's a bit too abrasive for my face. It sloughs off dead skin fairly well. I use it for my body in the shower and it works wonderfully for that!

Ok so I'm a RELIGOUS user of this product and am IN LOVE!!! It smells amazing, its so creamy in its consistency, and it works. It gets all those gross flakes off my skin and makes it feel baby soft. It has moisturizers in it to prevent those flakes from even coming back! Love love love.

Pros:

- Leaves skin smooth
-minimizes pores
-smells great
-gentle enough

Cons:

none.

I think this a great product! I'm eighteen and expensive brands have never helped my acne. I've been struggling since I was 12 and this product finally helped clear me up and smooth my skin out! I use it once a day, everynight before i sleep, and then use Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser in the morning along with a good moisturizer. I don't even use a spot treatment anymore! Great Product!

Pros:

Smells amazing
All natural
Leaves skin glowing and smooth

Cons:

Drying

I use this product 3 times a week, as per the instructions on the bottle. After I wash it off, my skin feels smooth and relaxed. Using this, along with Dove Sensitive Skin soap, my acne issues are decreasing more and more every day. Great product.

Pros:

Gets rid of blemishes
prevents acne
smells alright

Cons:

Rough
makes acne worse at first

I had moderately severe acne a year ago. Went on minocycline, worked for a month. Acne started coming back. I started using this in combination with the st ives green tea. This every 3 days and the green tea every day. My acne is pretty much controlled now. only a pimple or 2 every few days and my past blemishes are disappearing very quickly(it was horrible a year ago). It doesnt work well at first. After 2 weeks or so your skin gets use to it and the salicylic acid works wonders in preventing the acne from emerging. In adition this is an exfoliator which is good to get rid of impurities. I also take biozinc pills+omega 3 every day and i pretty much ahve mild acne now. However im not sure if my acne decreased so much because of this or because the fact that im 18 now and my hormones are starting to balance. Give it a go i'd recommend

It clears up my face perfectly!! works as good as proactive! Plus it's cheaper. I can't use proactive cause I'm allergic to it and makes my whole face itch for days after.

Pros:

Smells nice
Not too harsh on the skin

Cons:

Makes my skin a bit red
Gives me more spots sometimes

Out of all the scrubs ive used this has been the one that dosen't make me break out so badly. I only use it once every week roughly though otherwise it would be too much for my skin.
