Pros:

-Cleans deep into pores to remove dirt and oils
- Gets rid of Blackheads and WhiteHeads
- Does not overdry skin
- Makes pores appear smaller
- Good Smell

Cons:

- None

I have been using this product for over a year now, on a daily babis. Before using this product, my breakouts were quite severe and could not be covered. After about a week my skin looked clearer and radiant. Many say that it overdrys , but i dont find it does, and you should be using a moisturizer anyways. Also many say that it should be used only once a week but by apllying a light amount in the shower and gently (very gently) massaging it on your face it can be used daily. BOTTOM LINE---its an affordable great scrub

Pros:

-Makes your skin very smooth and soft
-Smells good
-Fights blackheads and whiteheads
-Doesn't feel rough putting it on like some scrubs
-It's refreshing

Cons:

-Can dry out skin or get sporatic breakouts if used more than once a week

I think this scrub is great to use. It smells great, and wakes me up in the morning. This is the kind of scrub you want to use if you don't want it to scratch your skin badly as you're putting it on. The only thing is to not use it more than once a week. Otherwise, it can be quite drying, and could create breakouts. This is especially for people with very sensitive skin. Otherwise, it's a great product for removing lots of blackheads and whiteheads, and to have nice smelling, soft skin. I highly recommend this St. Ives Apricot Scrub.

Pros:

its smells great, it last for a long time, i have sensitive skin and it works just great, it doesn't irritate my skin, i have oily skin and it works great, and it lasts a long time.

Cons:

It is a tiny bit drying, but not horrible like you feel your face is cracking into pieces lol

This is great stuff i just wish it was a little more moisturizing but it doesn't really bother me =] i use this everyday and like i said i have very sensitive skin and oily skin and this doesn't break me out and isn't too harsh for my skin at all... i Iove the feeling of it on my face i feel like its scrubbing away all your imperfections and impurities, and when you rinse it off, your face is squeaky clean and when you dry it off, its nice and soft =] i actually got 2 because they were on sale at Walgreens 2 for $6.00 =D it lasts me a loooonng time all you need is a quarter sized amount.. i will continue to use this forever and ever =] oh and if you have dry skin dont use this everyday.. use it like once a week but whatever works for your skin =]

Pros:

- Leaves skin smooth
-minimizes pores
-smells great
-gentle enough

Cons:

none.

I think this a great product! I'm eighteen and expensive brands have never helped my acne. I've been struggling since I was 12 and this product finally helped clear me up and smooth my skin out! I use it once a day, everynight before i sleep, and then use Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser in the morning along with a good moisturizer. I don't even use a spot treatment anymore! Great Product!

Pros:

•Makes your skin very soft.
•Clears up freckles

Cons:

•Gives you some pimples if you have normal or oily skin

Use it only if you have dry skin. It feels like a mostrizers. Do not use it if you have normal or oily skin. It feels very good. Gives you very soft skin.

Pros:

It improves everything, really. Whether your problem is blackheads,whiteheads,or just uneven texture this works.

Cons:

Not really a con, but something people do which is completely wrong is use this product more than once a week. That's why you have all the negative reviews here. =]

AS LONG as it's used once on a weekly basis, it works. Worked, i mean it's working for me. =]
