Pros:

Does what it says:
~ Deep Cleans
~ Keeps black heads and acne at bay
~ Ex foliates dead skin
~ Inexpensive (paid $3,99)

Cons:

~ Does not remove make up
~ May cause break outs in sensitive skin
~ May take a week to see real results
~ May dry you out if used more the 1x daily and if you live in cooler climates like me :)

This is a great cleanser if used gently (ease up on scrubbing the crap out of your face)and 1x Daily. I use before bed if I haven't used makeup followed with no moisturizer (my preference)or in the morning with an oil free spf 30 oil free sunscreen for face. Should absolutely be used with an oil free moisturizer anything else is to emollient, your basically putting back the excess oil you took off. Will not work the instant you use takes a few days to see results. Sensitives be wary might or might not break you out but then again most things probably do already right? .At first I was skeptical using took me a few days to see what I wanted come through happy I stuck with it.

Pros:

I loved it, the smell was fresh, nice bottle, it had scrubbing beads that worked wonders for my skin. Within a day my skin was clear. I'm 16 and my skin has not been agreeing with me, but this stuff tamed my skin. My skins no longer oily & now clear.

Cons:

No cons. I loved it.

P.S - If you have oily skin it works best.

Pros:

nice smell; works wonders; gentle exfoliation; AMAZING PRODUCT!

Cons:

discontinued:(

when i was using this product (about 2 years), my skin was PERFECT! i always got compliments on it and it was always so nice. if i would ever go off of it, to try something else or something, i would break out all over my cheeks so i would always come back to it! this is in my opinion the best product i have EVER used and would recommend it instantly!

Pros:

the smell, the feel, the little beads, i love this stuff.

Cons:

it dries out my skin in the cold weather and if i use it more than once a day

this is a great face wash. it does dry me out in the winter a bit but i have combo skin, so most stuff does. i use this at the sink and the st. ives medicated face scrub in the shower... basicly the same stuff only a bit scrubbier ;). i love every one of this companies products that i have tried.

Pros:

Nothing works better to clear and prevent breakouts, including expensive brands. It's also inexpensive and relatively easy to find.

Cons:

Can be drying in cold weather

Excellent product. Although it has potentially irritating ingredients, such as exfoliating beads, fragrance, and sodium laureth sulfate, it doesn't bother my sensitive late-twenties combination skin during the warmer months. It can be too drying during the winter, so I usually switch to Life Brand Dermagel. As soon as I stop using this, I get breakouts. Very effective and good value.
