Pros:

Helps a bit

Cons:

Doesent work well for people with Sensitive Skin (like me)

I have to tell you this. OMG The other day I was at Wal-Mart and this Equate Stuff was there "Oil~Free Dual Action Moistuizer Sensitive Skin Medicated to Help treat and prevent pimples", so I had to buy. I tryed it and when I put it on my face like 10-15 min later my face was soooooo clear. Can't believe it. I cant live without it. But I recomend this to people who have Sensitive Skin and its only $3.49 or something. This is AMAZING! P.S the other Info about at the bottom is St. Ives. Please try this Equate Stuff.... Cause it really works.

Pros:

I've used this for YEARS and can't live without out. It smells good, has the most exfoliating "scrubbies" out of everything I've tried, and just plain WORKS!! I heard about it from my cousin when I was younger, and now many of my friends use it too!

Cons:

None! Excellent product!!

Could use some more exciting packaging.... but who really cares about the packing when it WORKS.

I've tried many other scrubbing salicylic face washes when they come out, but I ALWAYS come back to this one. This has the most scrubbing action, the freshest scent, and works the best overall!

Pros:

smells good and has good consistency. clears blackheads and makes skin smooth. oh and i also love how it is not tested on animals. major plus for me. ^-^

Cons:

can dry out if used too often. i reccomend once a week. definatley a side scrub.

do not only use this, make sure you are using a cleanser and moisturizer as well. i use this in the shower about once to twice a week. you can also use it on your back or chest, works very well. also, like the last person said, do not scrub! just barley touch your face and the little grains will do the work.

Pros:

Clears up smaller acne, makes skin softer. Less oily skin. Great product for it's price

Cons:

Grains too harsh for daily use. After awhile, it starts to dry out.

The grains are a bit too harsh for being used twice a day. I started out with using this product once before I woke up and once before going to bed. I have extremely acne prone skin, even though the year before it was flawless. Use this at MOST once a day and do not literally scrub it on your face. Lightly rub in circles around problem areas, LIGHTLY. Because if you scrub too hard or use it too often, it will make your skin extremely sensitive and it will start to flake. My skin is much better due to this. However, because my skin began get irritated after frequent daily use, I switched to the gentler one for sensitive skin. It's grains are much smaller and there are a lot less. You will need to use a moisturizer after using this. :) Good luck with your acne!

Pros:

It makes my skin soft after I use it.

Cons:

Doesn't exactly clean it up.

Don't only use this! Use this about once a week with other cleansers. this is NOT a cleanser, its just a scub, and is not meant to replace cleaning. It does make my skin really soft though, but remember not to scrub too hard, very gently or it could lead to more acne.
