Pros:

Cleansers usually make my skin break out worse, but this is actually mild enough for sensitive skin and really helps since i have oily skin. My friend with dry skin just puts lotion on after she uses it

Cons:

i've only been using for a little while

Pretty much awesome..?

At first, when I just started out using this product, it made my skin very soft and had a cool feeling to it. It has a mild-moderate exfoliant that is able to get rid of all the dirt and dead skin for a clean feel. However I feel that the beads in the scrub are still a little harsh on my skin and will sometimes leave red spots. I don't recommend using this everyday but it is a great product if you want to exfoliat your face a few times a week.

Pros:

Works great on oily skin, refreshes nicely.

Cons:

The new scent in a word STINKS! Why did they have to change the smell???

I've used this product for years and loved it! In the past few months I noticed they now sell a slightly different version with "new scent" printed on the tube. This smell is bad enough to make you gag!! As such I can no longer use it unless, somehow, I'm able to find the tubes without the "new scent" advertised on it.

Pros:

It gets the crap off of your skin.

Cons:

It leaves your skin red and a little dry.

This product works if you're the type that is not very zitty, and have kinda tough skin. I wouldn't suggest this for the Average Joe, though. (Ha! Rhymes!)

Contact Dermatitis on Eyelids
Got dermatitis within the first month of using this product. At first I thought it was my mascara (been using it around a year so I threw it out) which might have played a factor. Ive always used korean skincare products (such as. The face shop aloe foam cleanser 365 days) because they cater to korean skin type (imo). But this scrub was on sale so my bro bought it. Ive used it 2-3 times a week as instructed on the label for a month now. And now Ive developed contact dermatitis on my eyelids. Itchy, red, and swollen at the beginning but after two weeks its become scaly, dry, and flaky. Ive been prescribed topical hydrocortisone with an emollient to bring down these symptoms. Tldr: if uve got sensitive skin dont use this sh*t u may contract dermititis , korean skincare products ftw

Also for my brother who also used it at the same time, said that his acne got more severe. So he stopped using it as well.

Provides Smooth Skin
This product makes your skin feel so soft and smooth. It made my skin feel clean and refreshed. But, it didnt help improve my acne. It smells good and the bottle is super cute, but if your looking for a product to help clear acne, this is not the product for you. Only buy this if you want a product to help your sensitive skin feel smooth.
