Good exfoliating product..but sometimes a little too rough.

Pros:

Exfoliates
Cheap

Cons:

Irritating

I would recommend this if you have really resistant skin.. but the product contains little jagged pieces of apricot pit.. which tares micro holes in the skin. It does exfoliate.. but not in the most productive way possible.

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:

Really cleans out your pores and gets rid of your dead skin.

Cons:

none

Great face wash. Gets rid of the dry skin flakes that can clog your pores. I use the NON salicylic acid apricot face scrub before bed as the one with the acid could dry out my skin even more. After washing my face I then use jojoba oil straight to moisturize.

Pros:

fresh feeling
give a really good clean

Cons:

may hurt a bit in the first scrubs

the bottom line is that this is an amazing product. a friend of mine with severe acne like me recommended it to me when his face was CLEAN. i have been using for 6 straight months since i can't go see my dermatologist anymore. my acne is 70% gone, which is a lot if you have it bad. i use it 3 times a day because i sweat a lot and i have really oily skin. my skin has never dried and always feels good. it definitely makes a difference and i highly recommend it!

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

Pros:

-Makes skin super soft
-Cleans skin effectively
-Gives you a fresh feeling

Cons:

-Does NOT help with acne at all :|

I bought this scrub a few months back hoping it would help my skin by seeing the reviews over here.But no,it didn't help with acne,not even for a short time. Now I use it inconsistently.Not more than once a week,btw,it isn't good to use it more than twice a week as it is a scrub. I like this one because it makes my skin really soft and clean,perfect wash before applying makeup. =) Its just a good scrub,but not for acne.

Great smell. Fresh feeling. Diminishes acne. Low price. Washes away oil.

Scrub is rough.

Reduces appearance of acne, gets rid of the oil and exfoliates my skin. It didn't dry it out. The price is amazing and I recommend it.

Pros:

Smells good
Cheap

Cons:

Irritating
Makes acne 4x worse
over drying

This is a terrible product and I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.I purchased this product thinking it would get rid of my light acne but it instead turned it into moderate acne. It irritated my skin so much that it is now red , dry and acne ridden. I will never be repurchasing this item EVER and this all happened after two uses.
