| Pros | -very inexpensive (CVS, Target, or other generic brands--so long as they have salicylic acid--work very well, too) -easy to use -mostly natural |
|---|---|
| Cons | -a few years ago St. Ives changed the formula, making the scrub less...scrubby...however, they have changed back and the scrub is like it used to be. I guess if they changed it again i wouldn't buy it. |
| Bottom line | I have been using this scrub twice a day for 10 years...wow...I am old! I think there was a time i tried to use something like Biore or 'higher end'...that didn't last long! St. Ives' medicated apricot scrub and store-brand analogs are inexpensive quality products. If I skip a day or two of this scrubbing my face does not like it! This scrub is also easy to use on body acne as well. I think if you have acne worse than "light" acne you probably should use this scrub in conjunction with another topical treatment. |

| Pros | - Baby smooth skin! - Contains salicylic acid - Removes flakiness like nothing I've ever used - Seems to control oil and help existing breakouts to disappear - Helps moisturizer to penetrate better |
|---|---|
| Cons | None, except as a beauty therapy student we tend to avoid using granular exfoliants on anyone with acne lesions, so therefore I would only use this if you have light acne. |
| Bottom line | The best facial scrub I have ever come across. I've used this stuff for over 10 years and I will never stop loving it. It gets the blood flowing and leaves my skin feeling super smooth and clean. I am glad they have formulated a salicylic acid one for oilier skins, as it makes a good addition to my regimen now that I have my acne under control. Tip: Don't go crazy! Rubbing too hard will obviously cause irritation, which in turn can result in breakouts. Another obvious one: don't use it every day. It's a scrub, not a cleanser, which means 2-3 times a week is plenty. |

| Pros | It removes the dirt, okay... |
|---|---|
| Cons | It drys up my skin just a bit, makes my skin look whiter, irritates a bit if you scrub for too long or for a long time |
| Bottom line | I don't know if there is a major difference in my skin, with blemishes and acne because personally for me it doesn't help in that area. On the other hand i have pretty oily skin, so i like to use this product to reduce a lot of the oil.Its worth a try though! |

| Pros | works smells great |
|---|---|
| Cons | really brings out the redness if you scrub to hard. made me break out a little |
| Bottom line | Don't use this everyday! I found that it worked great using it every other day. I did break out after using it a couple of times and it turns your face red if you scrub to hard |

| Pros | -Smells great -Feels nice on skin -Works great for my moderate acne; dries everything up fast and removes make-up -Not expensive |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Do not use it too much -None! |
| Bottom line | I use the kind with salicylic acid. I have loved this product, but when using it too much, my face breaks out. Other than that it is wonderful. I use it to exfoliate about 4 times a week. |

| Pros | - Makes skin soooo soft - smells yummy |
|---|---|
| Cons | - Made me break out when I used it too often (everyday, sometimes twice a day) |
| Bottom line | I started using it again after a couple months after it totally destroyed my face and made it worse than ever. I use it once every few days, maybe just once a week just to take off some dead skin cells. and after I use aveeno clear complexion foaming cleanser which I love. I use that everyday though. so far so good. Im just tryna make sure I dont over due it! |
