Pros:Works ok at first
Cons:Doesnt rinse well, feels waxy
Bottom Line:This product should be called acne stress maker. It is good for the first few washes but then your face starts to develop a waxy build-up. Does not get makeup off and the little blue beads are annoying! I would find them stuck in my ears even though I always rinse very thoroughly. Might be good for backs but i would not use this on my face again.
Recommended:No
Usage:Jess has used this item for a few weeks.
Price Paid:7.00

Pros:started working quickly (less than 1 week)
smells good
reasonable amount for the price

Pros:I definitely break out less since I've been using this (once daily), and I've been VERY stressed out lately, which usually triggers breakouts for me. Also smells good (cucumber-y) and leaves skin very soft without being super irritating.
Cons:My skin is really sensitive so I get a little red from this and it hurts a little. Still, my skin seems to tolerate it pretty well.
Bottom Line:I'm 25 and have had moderately bad acne my whole life. I read a good review for this in a magazine so I tried it and it's definitely been working for me better than anything I've probably ever tried. It's also not burning my sensitive skin off, which is also a rarity. It definitely does (for me) what it says--prevents acne before it starts. It also helps clear acne when you have it, naturally. It seems like it only works for some people, but it's cheap enough to give it a try. Even if it doesn't end up clearing your acne, it's a good exfoliator.
