Pros:

- Makes skin look healthier
- has a nice scent
- softens skin

Cons:

- doesnt get rid of acne
- over-dries skin
- rought texture

I got this a few months ago and i decided to try it and see what it could do for my acne. One month and then two months went by and it did do anything for my whiteheads and frequent pimples. It over-dried my skin and the texture was so rough that if i had a pimple it made it become even more irratated and it looedk worse than before.

Pros:

-it really does make my skin feel smooth afterwards
-My acne looked better

Cons:

-The granuales are quite large (but they didnt bother me)

I have light acne on my forehead and I bought this from boots on offer and so far, it has improved the condition of my skin. It has helped my dry patches and I transferred to this because the exfoliating brush was too harsh on my skin. I would recommend using it every two or three days as it may be too harsh for others skin to be used everyday and also, its magicness will stop abruptly. I use neutrogena pink grapefruit wash on all the other days. I also apply neutrogena visibly clear oil free moisturiser afterwards. I suggest waiting a half hour before applying any acne medications. I am 12 btw and my acne only started about 11 months ago. I also recommend t-zone spot zapper and t-zone cleansing wipes....xx OH and the bottle may be different when you buy it.

Pros:

Does exfloiate way dead skin and "gunk"
Makes skin smooth
No visible irritation

Cons:

Doesnt clear spots really. Idk :/

This is a good exfolaint. It gets the gunk out and msooth out your skin. But its no magic acne eraser. At all. Id be careful with any exfolaint around pimples, it might irritate them. This one didnt irritate my skin, but thats beucase I was carefu lto be gentle and not to abrase my acne. If you want a decent exfolaint tihs is good. If you want a magic acne cure, look else wear. People are really off and on aobtu this. SOme HATE it for bieng to abrasive, some aore it for magiclaly clearing them. Im one of the few on the fence. I suggest its something you need to try for yourself. Just be gentle(:

Pros:

leaves skin soft
reduces blackheads
refreshing scent
works well if used 2x a week at most

Cons:

not for breakout periods(it aggravates your acne and makes your skin red even with your most gentle touch)
kind of loses its effect in the long run (primarily my fault)

i was so in love with this product. i stuck to the recommended application frequency of twice per week at most for oily skin. but since i really really liked what it did to my skin (ie soft, healthy glow) i couldn't help but use it more than twice per week. and so the lack of discipline took its toll on my skin. it made my skin oilier than ever, thus pimples. so much for too much of anything is bad. . i went back to the old routine of 2x at most per week and the number of bumps subsided. however,the nice effects it gave before aren't as nice now. :( but i still recommend it. just don't use it the way i did.

Pros:

Amazing
I had i reeaaaal bad patch of skin on my skin that was flaky and rough and needed a quick fix, so i tried this. A week later my skin is smoother than my whole face!!! and the pimples there went away too!

Cons:

I cant find any so far...

Everyone who needs to exfoliate should try this. It helps bad skin stop being flaky and rough, smooths it out, and has a grreeeeat smell too. And hey its oil free what more could you ask for???

Pros:

Love the feel of the product

Cons:

None

I used to use this product a lot more when I was younger. Back then I didn't break out and never needed to exfoliate. But now that I'm older and my skin is more problematic, this product doesn't work all the great. Some people think this stuff exfoliates well, but I don't think it does it enough. I use sugar, honey, and cinnamon mixed together and that has cleared up my skin more than this. But it's still a good product for less problematic skin.
