Pros:

- smells great
- doesn't leave my skin dry
- gets rid of acne
& of course leaves me feeling clean

Acne has been on me of my biggest problem . Even though it's not alot it still bugs me. But what I love about this scrub is that it really prevents pimples , i don't know about black heads but pimples is a forsure. I do it twice a day in the morning while I'm in the showe and at night before I go to sleep. Ive tried tons of different face scrubs and this works. I would recommend it to anyone

Pros:

*smells nice
*beads not too harsh
*Exfoliates well
*gets rid of pimples

Cons:

*Did not get rid of blackheads

This is a great product to use every other day for exfoliation. It does remove pimples and light acne. The only downside being that it did not remove the blackhead which it claimed it would. Having said that, i do feel its a great product and i have been using it for a year and definitly consider it to be something that i would not change. I recommend it to anyone who has light to moderate acne and wishes to have a scrub that would leave skin feeling fresh and soft.

Pros:

Cleans skin, Gets of pimples, smells great

Cons:

Rough scrub

I bought the travel size bottle for vacation that lasted for 1 month and a half and this invigorating scrub works great! I just bought the huge bottle for only 4 bucks at Walgreens. I would definitely get this again. Plus my acne is really bad.

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.

Pros:

-natural ingredients/extracts
-not tested on animals
-leaves skin feeling very smooth
-skin glows
-removes old, dry skin

Cons:

-can be a little harsh if you use to much at once/scrub too hard

This is a very good scrub. I don't use it often because it's very effective. I use it when my skin is feeling extra oily and gross (about 1-2 times a week) Sometimes to get a really nice deep exfoliation, I use it along with my Clarisonic and the brush action plus this scrub leaves my skin glowing, smooth and just wonderful. It's a little red at first, but that goes away :)

Pros:

-really good smell :)

Cons:

-granules too harsh
-didn't help with my acne
-left a slight film on skin
-didn't clean my skin enough

This product didn't really break me out, but it certainly didn't help with my acne/blackheads as it claimed either.. :( If it had foamed up a little it may have been a bit more effective. I think this product would be better for someone with very light acne and skin that isn't sensitive and is normal-dry-combination. This scrub would probably be too harsh for moderate-severe acne. For me though..it was a miss.

Pros:

- smells good
-natural extracts
- good for skin
-reduces scars
-helps acne
- clears skin
-cheap

Cons:

....umm well.... ....I don't have any

I bought a 300ml jar of this scrub after I tried the 99 cent samples. Within three days my acne was clearing up!! I couldn't believe a cheap face scrub would clear my acne!!! I use the scrub everynight..... ( yes I know your not supposed to use a scrub this often, but this really help my skin and my acne). 1)I rise my face with hot water;no soap 2) I pat dry my face a little because I don't want too much water. 3) I massage the scrub on my face for 1-2 min 4) rise off with hot water ... Note in the morning I close my pores with cold water.at night I keep my pores open so my moisturizer can sink into my skin better I have been using this for over a year and I'm really impressed... In total I only remeber having 6 pimples!!! My acne serverity of my acne went to moderate to very light (5.50 for a 300ml jar in Canada) I like to use this often for my rough oily skin! Just start out slow and your face should be beautiful !!!!!

Pros:

* Leaves your face oil free and smooth to touch
* Exfoliates away any dead skin cells
* Smells WONDERFUL!
* Keeps acne down when used twice a week!
* Diminishes blackheads & whiteheads
* You will GLOW!
* CHEAP!

Cons:

* Dry your face out if you use it for a long time/ everyday so don't do that

It works after a long period of time. I've been using it for a month but I seem to see scars and pimples disappear! In the shower I apply it to my whole body, chest, back and face. I let it sit while I wash my hair and then rise my whole self afterwards. It becomes smooth to the touch and oil-free! For once my body and face feel refreshed and not that I have infested acne all over them. Mind you, I don't think it will actually get rid of all my acne but it helps me feel clean without harsh chemicals and the 2% salicylic is a nice touch! I would REALLY recommend getting your hands on this product.
