| Pros | - You notice the decrease in size of your pimple the first time you use it! - Leaves skin soft - Clears breakouts and upcoming pimples! |
|---|---|
| Cons | NONE |
| Bottom line | I've been using this for almost a month and it works great! I don't suggest using it if your pimple looks like its about to pop or if puss is showing! |

| 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. |

| Pros | • smells good • can be used daily • doesn't irritate my skin • leaves my skin smooth • clears some acne • decreases oil gradually on my skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | • i found it didn't hep whatsoever with my blackheads, which is what scrubs normally do • makes my skin break out occasionally • leaves my skin somewhat oily (though i've always had oily skin) |
| Bottom line | This product is very confusing to review, though I thought it would be helpful for other people. Let's first start with my acne problem, cause "moderate" just doesn't cut it. I have acne on my cheeks, on my forehead, on my temple area, and on chin. Really, the only part of my face that isn't covered in nasty blemishes is my nose! My cheeks have what looks like red circles under my skin that vary in size. On my chin, i mainly have those pimples that ;ay above my skin (those are just awfully painful!) On my forehead, i have very small blemishes, some sitting on the skin, some underneath, and that's probably the worst part of my acne (either that or my cheeks). And it's not like this whole acne thing is recent - i've had acne for nearly 4 years now. I'm currently in high school, and that's probably the worst part of life to suffer from acne (all the immature teasing and everything). I have sort of a stressful life, and i don't eat as healthy as i should (hehe) I guess that could have an affect on my acne. Sorry for this nasty piece of information, but i figured it would be useful to know when reading my review. Anyways, the scrub itself is complicated. It leaves my skin extremely smooth, and i use it twice a day with nothing else. My skin still seems oily, though the amount of oily has decreased. After about a week of using the product, my skin (especially around my mouth) started to feel extremely tense, like it was hard to smile. That's not really a problem, because it doesn't affect my skin, really (i.e., my skin doesn't look rough/dry or anything, just feels like it). The first few days, my skin was looking good. Though honestly, it just could have been in my head. The whole fact of changing facial routines and stuff. Nonetheless, my skin looks a bit better, though i still get pimples. Overall, the smell is nice and the price is good, but i still don't really see a difference, other than my acne is somewhat controlled, and the oil on |

| Pros | has made my breakout 10 times smaller! helps with redmarks doesnt contain too much salcylic acid wont dry out your skin wont clog pores help reduce breakouts |
|---|---|
| Cons | NONE!!! |
| Bottom line | i have try every cleanser in the market..proactiv,neutrogena,clean and clear and none of those helped me with my mild acne ..my mom had always used the apricot scrub but i didnt totally like it because it was too rough on my skin (rough and harsh things make me breakout:/)but i like the way my skin felt after using it ..until one day i saw these cleanser and bought it in which didnt contain that much amount of salcylic acid and said it would help with redness..since ive started using it i havent broken out like i used too,and if i breakout my pimples are super tiny and my red marks has dramatically reduceed!:D |

| Pros | Makes skin soft Non-irritating and gentle Nice smell Can be used daily Doesn't cause breakouts |
|---|---|
| Cons | None at all |
| Bottom line | I would definitely recommend this scrub. I have been in love with it since I have first used it and it has made my skin so soft. This is actually the only thing I use to wash my face and I used it twice a day for over a year and I am still using it. I have not experienced any negative side-effects and every time I try using a new scrub or cleanser they always break me out so I return to this one. I do admit it's not a miracle treatment for acne and I still experience the occasional breakout but I attribute that to hormones, not this product. If anything, I use this scrub because it is the only scrub that I trust won't break me out. I don't really use this scrub to treat my acne and I do not think a scrub alone will cure acne it has to be in combination with other products. |

| Pros | -Smells nice -Nice exfoliators -Exfoliates well -Reduces redness -Only need a little to cover face -Nice refreshing effect |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Doesn't clear acne (use the St. Ives Green Tea Cleanser) |
| Bottom line | The is product is amazing ! The consistency is so thickly packed with mini exfoliator beads so sensitive skin people can use this. After rinsing this product off, the face feels so refreshed and it looks radiant. |

| Pros | Smell Ingredients Everything! |
|---|---|
| Cons | None |
| Bottom line | 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 | Smells really good. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Everything else. |
| Bottom line | 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. |

|---|---|
| Cons | NONE |
| Bottom line | This product is perfect in my eyes :D I only have 2 pimples and that was from when i forgot to wash my face. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STUFF! I am about to buy another bottle! This stuff is the only thing that worked in 5 years! My skin is actually smooth and soft now :) and its not too harsh. I use it morning and night before toning and moisturizing and its perfect :) I have combination and sensitive skin (which is horrible) and this clears up most of the oil and the acne and its amazing, I completely recommend this product to you, its amazing :) and the green tea feels wonderful :) |
