i use the St. Ives Green Tea face cleanser everyday..morning and night, however i use the apricot scrub every other day or even everyday to get rid of dead skin and boy has my skin never looked better! dry skin helps cause pimples so i use this to take the dead skin away...i also use the ponds face moisturizer and it moisturizes so well! i use it at night cause its a bit greasy...but when i wash it off in the morning my face is nice and moisturized and no need for more cream till night! Bottom line--ITS GREAT

Pros:

skin was so smooth!
cleared acne in a week!
inexpensive!

Cons:

none, so far!

i use this scrub every other day, and so far, it has been the ONLY product to really control my breakouts. i've had acne since i was 12 (i am now 23) and until i started to use this product last year, nothing had ever helped. i took every pill, i tried proactiv, neutrogena, and every other fancy acne-fighting system that exists, and nothing worked! my great results often vanished after a few weeks, and the pills always made me so ill. but this product has been a miracle! i use it in tangent with a mild facial cleanser, but i noticed a difference in my skin almost immediately! highly recommended!

Pros:

-Gentle yet effective exfoliants
-Smells awesome!
-Reduces acne if used regularly

Cons:

-N/A

It's one of the best scrubs on the market that's cheap! If used at least twice a week, you'll notice your skin looking a lot healthier and cleaner. Might not help people who suffer from more severe acne because it only contains 2% Salycic Acid yet it's a great way to get rid of that dead skin!

Pros:

-Skin feels fresh and light afterwards
-Exfoliator beads are very small and gentle
-Natural ingredients (Apricot, Ground Corn & Walnut)
-Smells nice
-Widely available and affordable

Cons:

-Sharp edges on packaging (seriously: they are SHARP!)

This is the only exfoliator I have ever used and it's served me quite well. It does a hell of a job - skin feels fresh and light afterwards, beads are small and gentle, and it even has a pleasant smell. Advice: use this in place of your facial cleanser every second or third day. Gently massage a good amount of the product into your skin, moving your hands in slow, circular motions. Take your time: at least a minute or two will maximize its effectiveness. Rinse off and smile! FIVE STARS To see my complete review and other product reviews, go to [link removed]

Pros:

Smells great
Exfoliates great
Super cheap!
Buy it at any local store
Lasts a long time

Cons:

None

This is by far my favorite scrub. I use it 1-2 per week. Other scrubs would be too harsh for my skin and leave it feeling raw and others would barley exfoliate at all. This one is perfect. Remember not to massage too hard, massage gently and it is the perfect srub for anyone!

This has been one of the only products to ever help my skin, and the only to completely clear it. Working as a construction worker, I am exposed to large amounts of dirt and dust in the air all day, resulting in numerous breakouts. I began using this product to remove the grime from my skin, and needless to say, I was amazed by the results. My acne was soon cleared, and my skin has never looked so healthy. Immedietly after you wash it off, your skin feels much lighter, and baby smooth to the touch. I now use it in place of my previous Benziol Peroxide treatment (Proactive) and I've noticed a signifigent difference. I can not recommend this product enough. It's been a life changer.

Pros:

- Can feel it scrubbing so you know it's working
- It's very satisfying
- Gets rid of dead and flaky skin
- Cheap price for great quality
- Smells great
- Has natural ingredients
- Seems to heal existing acne rather quickly

Cons:

None

This product is a must have if you have really oily, flaky and dry skin. My skin is awkward because it's very oily in some areas, but dry and flaky in others. But, overall I am very satisfied with this stuff. It makes my skin soft after I use it and it takes off most of all my flaky skin. I haven't been using it very long, just one day so far, but the morning after the very first time I used it my existing acne looked like like was healing and getting smaller. I give it 100% recommendation.
