Pros:

-Makes skin super soft
-Cleans skin effectively
-Gives you a fresh feeling

Cons:

-Does NOT help with acne at all :|

I bought this scrub a few months back hoping it would help my skin by seeing the reviews over here.But no,it didn't help with acne,not even for a short time. Now I use it inconsistently.Not more than once a week,btw,it isn't good to use it more than twice a week as it is a scrub. I like this one because it makes my skin really soft and clean,perfect wash before applying makeup. =) Its just a good scrub,but not for acne.

Pros:

makes my skin super soft!!!
smells great!!!
was pretty cheap!

Cons:

i heard it makes microscopic tears in your skin which creates wrinkles

I love this product because it makes my skin feel amazing and smooth!!! I love the smell of it because it smells so fresh and clean!!!! I used it before and it sort of cleared up some pimples, but i only use it once a week because its very drying!!! I looked at other reviews, websites, and dermatologist reviews and saw that they say that it makes microscopic tears in your skin which can then cause wrinkles later in life and will make you look older than you really are!!! So the bottom line is that i would recomend this if u only use it every 2 weeks or so.

Pros:

Smells great
Your skin is softer to the touch and feels cleaner from the first use
It exfoliates your skin really well
Removes oil fron your face without over drying

Cons:

Does nothing to actually prevent pimples or breakouts or treat present ones

This product smells great, works well as an exfoliant, but nothing in the breakout control department. It works well also in clearing up marks on your face and evening your skin tones

Pros:

the product is not expensive, it has a great smell, it cleans my face really good, removes some blackheads (not all). i can actually feel the clean...its just that good

Cons:

it can be a bit harsh for my skin type so i only use it once or twice a week and sometimes zero times for the week(because i have crazy acne and i'm on other prescribed meds)

its worth the try...but of course everyday usage of this product is not necessary...just a few times a week depending on your skin type

Pros:

Smells nice, leaves face feeling very clean.

Cons:

Does not help with blackheads. May dry skin a bit.

I have the blemish & blackhead kind, it does keep my pimples to a minimum but will not get rid of blackheads (nothing over the counter will). Does leave your face feeling smooth and clean and gets rid of any tiny bumps. There is a bit of dryness after I use it but a mild lotion helps.

Pros:

Smells great, exfoliates well/made my face very smooth immediately, cheap, and isn't tested on animals!

Cons:

The texture might be a bit too grainy and rough, but it still works well.

This is a very good product, I haven't used it in a while and I think they might have changed the formula a bit, but it works and does improve the look of my skin! Great bargain.

Pros:

Leaves skin feeling soft

Cons:

Caused acne, my skin became dry, cuts on my face

No matter how gently i used it, or how little of an amount, it gave me huuuuge pimples and cut my skin. Do not use this. It is way too rough.
