Pros:

The first time I used this product my skin immediately felt softer, smoother, and cleaner! The microbeads are not at all harsh on your skin. I have only used this product for 2 days, but I have already seen a difference in my skin!

Cons:

None

This product is great for normal/combination/oily/dry skin. I'm pretty sure it would work well on sensitive skin too. Just be sure to moisturize after use, because it will slightly dry your skin.

Pros:

It contains beads which can help to lift any dirt or oil from your face.

Cons:

It can often make your face red if it is applied too vigurously.

It delivers. It indeed helps prevent breakouts but it often takes a while to actually get rid of your current acne but the fact remains that it still will clear up your face.However the beads can sometimes make your face red if it is applied too hard.

Pros:

Worked well to "lighten" my scars, and even cleared up the little acne I had left. I looked into this product because of the beta Hydroxy chemicals, for clearing up my scars, and although it didn't work completely, it definately helped!

Cons:

The fragrance wasn't my favorite. I'm not sure how well this would work on "bad" acne, but for my mild acne and scars it worked well. Also, it didn't completely clear it up but it definately made me look a lot better!

Atleast give this a try! It's affordible, and it helped me, even if it didn't completely clear me up. I would definately recommend this for mild acne and mild scars!!! I'm not sure how well it'd work on "bad" acne, but it's worth a try. What's the worst that could happen????

Favourite cleanser
I use this as my cleansing step in the Regimen. Scrubs aren't recommended, but my skin requires exfoliation to stay clear, so it was essential for me to tweak my routine. I've used this scrub pretty steadily for many years, and if I do switch, I always come back. I find it gentle enough for everyday use (using it gently is key though), non-drying, only lightly fragranced, oil-free, and using it alongside the BP on the Regimen keeps my skin smooth and clear. Very highly recommended.

Pros:

Many people say it works for them

Cons:

Made my acne worse
Irritated my skin, didn't feel good at all
Chemicals make your skin age faster

I started using this product 9 months ago and only just stopped. I have dry skin and only had acne on my forehead when I started using this which it did clear a little, however it caused a lot more on one of my cheeks that still hasn't cleared up 8-9 months later!! After every use it seemed like my skin was red, inflamed and irritated. Also after research, it turns out it has chemicals to make you more susceptible to sunlight which ages your skin faster. I thought using it only at night would help this but the effects actually last a few days. It seems to be a gamble if this stuff will help you or make you worse, but even if it works there's still the issues with accelerating the aging process :/

Pros:

Clearer skin, feels clean, you can tell its really getting in and exfoliating

Cons:

None i can think of

Ive just used this for two days and when i woke up this morning, my forehead acne has been dramatically reduced. I used to have horrible pimples on my forehead and smaller tiny bumps, but now its so much clearer and all the little bumps are gone. My red marks left from past pimples are slowly fading too! Yay! I just used the scrub and then rinsed, then used the cream cleaner afterwards from the same line of products (deep clean)

Pros:

This is my daily cleanser, and I've been using it for ages. Recently, I ran out of it and am currently using some random brand recommended to me by a friend.

Lo and behold, I have an massive pustule forming on my cheek two days after I stopped using it. Says something about it's efficiency!

It's also a very gentle scrub- my face doesn't feel tight at all after I use it, which is great, cos I have combination skin, so it works well for use twice a day~

Cons:

Beads can be a little bit difficult to get out, but if you clean throughly with water, it's usually not a problem.

What I'm saying is that this has pretty much changed my skin for the better; everywhere except my forehead (which has a light smattering of small white heads) is completely clear! Amazing stuff, I strongly recommend you give it a try! Gotta to pick up some ASAP to tide myself through this current breakout...

like this scrub.
I really like this scrub. It's not harsh. Which is fine, because I like a gentle scrub for my face. I like the smell. Very clean and refreshing. I use in the morning and at night and so far that's been fine. Will probably go down to one time a day for the winter. I think this cleanser helps my face stay matte a little longer. Overall, good cleanser, decent price, worth a try.
