Pros:

-Left my skin smooth
-Helped "fading" blackheads
-REALLY exfoliating
-2% salicylic acid

Cons:

-Drying
-too much exfoliates which are really harsh
-Doesn't help acne "as" much
-Smell is to strong!

It was a good scrub but to harsh to use 2-3 times a week. Did nothing for blemishes, not even pimples.

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:

Cleans face well

Cons:

Beads can scratch the skin

This is ok, but I don't recommend it as an exfoliant because the beads can tear at your skin. It's better to use something that is more gentle with smaller beads. When I over use this product it causes me to break out like crazy.

Pros:

I used to have a rough skin under my jaw area but after about a week of exfoliating using this product, my skin became smoother and the roughness was gone.
It's affordable and lasts for a couple of months. Has a nice calming smell to it.

Cons:

Dries skin out. Noticed that I had more acne breakouts (cysts on chin, pimples on cheeks) after it.. and some pores on my face were a bit enlarged. :(

I don't do a lot of exercise, just sometimes. I don't get enough sleep like I used to. Maybe that's the reason why I have acne breakouts but I'm not sure whether or not to blame my breakouts on my lifestyle or this product. I will try to have a healthier lifestyle and hope to see good changes soon.
