Pros:

Smell
Texture
Gentle enough for every day use
Clears skin within about 1/2 the bottle :)
PERFECT :D

Cons:

NONE

This product is perfect in my eyes :D I only have 2 pimples and that was from when i forgot to wash my face. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS STUFF! I am about to buy another bottle! This stuff is the only thing that worked in 5 years! My skin is actually smooth and soft now :) and its not too harsh. I use it morning and night before toning and moisturizing and its perfect :) I have combination and sensitive skin (which is horrible) and this clears up most of the oil and the acne and its amazing, I completely recommend this product to you, its amazing :) and the green tea feels wonderful :)

Pros:

Smells great
Great for black heads
Leave face smooth
Gets rid of flakes
You can find it at the grocery store

Cons:

If your acne is flaring it might be too harsh
Wish it was more natural

I really like this scrub, it isnt too harsh and it has Salicylic Acid which is good for acne. I use it about 3 times a week and scrub very lightly, just enough that I feel it but not hard to the point that my face is red. If I had an open pimple (just popped) I would not use it in that area because it does have scrubers and for a pimple that has been popped it wouldnt be the greatest thing. This product is best for black heads or dry skin flakes. Best when used with a good moisturizer! And it has jojoba esters! I also do yogurt masks about twice a week (leave on uintil all dried then wash off) and I use Daniel Kerns jojoba moisturizer and his benzoyl peroxide gel and my face has been very happy! Before I started all this my face was flaring up and horrible, so far so good!

Pros:

This is a miracle product! I'm finally free from acne!

Cons:

None

I tried to use so many different acne regimen and cleansers. One day my mom came in and told me to use her cleanser. She said it cleared up everyone that she recommended it to. It worked for me!

Pros:

smells great
effective
not too abrasive
natural ingredients
gentle

Cons:

a bit drying

I was kind of hesitant about trying a scrub at first because I didn't want it to hurt my face, but this was perfect. It has enough beads to clean deeply, yet not to the point of being painful. I LOVE the smell. My other cleansers made my face smell terrible, but this is great. HOWEVER, it is a little drying. I would definitely recommend using a moisturizer after washing your face with this. Once, I skipped and got the WORST zit ever. All and all, though, it's reduced redness and size. :)

Pros:

Not drying
Not harshly abrasive
Leaves skin fresh

Cons:

No big ones

I love this as an occasional scrub. I know abrasives such as the silica sand used in this product are not supposed to be good for the skin, but I can only take so much flaking before I begin to feel like my face has two layers: one of live skin, one of the dead, BP-induced flakes on top! I find that using this product once every 7-14 days leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed. Plus, if I use it when I have a visible pimple or two, I find that it tends to cause them to go away more quickly than the Regimen alone. It's not for everyday use--no exfoliator should be used daily--but as a once-in-a-while treatment, it's marvelous.

Pros:

Great smell
gentle on skin
leaves skin smooth and healthy looking
reduces oilyness (skin is more matte)
Helps with drying up pimples and reducing breakouts
Helps with acne scars
Just great!!!!

Cons:

Too small a pouch

Great product. I was disappointed when St. Ives stopped the Alpha-Hydroxy mask (and i still am) but this is a fairly good replacement for my facial once or twice per week. Gives my skin a matte yet healthy look and I have oily skin. Is not harsh and did not irritate any pimples I had. And i just loooooove the smell. I only use it once or twice a week for a facial and I like it.

Pros:

- Feels good & smells good
- Skin looks & feels great afterward.

Cons:

- None yet

I've only been using for a few days, so I don't know the long term results yet. However, so far I like this product. The scrub exfoliates your skin & makes it look & feel better instantly.
