Pros:

GREAT! CHEAP! Worked better then some of my clinique, Lancome, Elizabeth Arden...... SAVES ALOT OF MONEY!

Cons:

Can be a bit drying, so i suggest using about 2-3 x a week, and use a good moisterizer after.

It is truly AMAZiiNG! I recieved an email from MEG (MUA) about this, and thought id give it a try! LITERALLY the first night my skin IMPROVED dramatically, it helped to rid of scaring, blemishes, & clogged pores. My skin; for the first time in years, felt smooth and clear! If you dont believe the great reviews, why not see for yourself....... Something AMAZiiNG could come out of it, and if not, whats $3.00..........?!

Pros:

It makes me feel so fresh & clean!! I actually feel like I am peeling a whole layer of dirt off my skin! I use it once before bed & once when I am back from college to get a day's worth of dirt off! I have mild acne and its certainly decreased.

Cons:

It turns my skin pretty dry, however , nothing a moisturizer can't solve. The scent isnt that great , but its just fine it will wear off in a while.

I never knew scrubs can be that good for the face. I highly reccomend it.

Pros:

ST. Ives Apricot Scrub definately leaves you with a fresh, invigorating scent. I felt like i had taken off my gross layer of skin and had a new one on!

Cons:

Though apricots don't smell bad, i wish they had alternatives for scent. The beads are very big like sandpaper, a little rough.

This won't clear up existing acne but definately helps get rid of dirt and oil on application and keeps skin fresher to prevent acne later on.

Pros:

Smells good

Cons:

Didn't clear up my acne, irritated my sensitive skin

Don't use this if you have sensitive skin. It didn't even clear up my blackheads and it irritated my skin. I now know the grains in St. Ives isn't good for sensitive skin. It'll only aggravate existing acne, and could lead to more.

No real cons. I love it.

My face was never smooth. I used saint ives and now my skin is so beautiful. The product is also very affordable. My skin never looked healthier.

Pros:

- The OLD version smelled pretty nice

Cons:

- The New version smells horrible!!!!
- Too harsh and abrasive, feels like sand
- Does nothing for my acne

I didn't mind using it before, it just didn't do anything good or bad for my skin. But now with the new scent, I will definetely not be using it anymore. It's gross.

Pros:

This product works great. I have used it for as long as I can remember and owe my healthy skin to it.

Cons:

The new smell. Oh my gosh, how horrid. Why did they do this? I couldn't even bring myself to use it. It went right back to the store.

If they bring back the old formula, I will use it forever. Otherwise, forget it. I'll have to go out and find something new.

Not good for me

I would not recommend using this (or probably any scrub) if you have white heads sitting on the surface of your face. I bought this last week to try and scrub off some of the dead flaky skin on my face caused by another acne treatment, but it just caused a lot more white heads than before.

Would not recommend

I'm not a fan of physical exfoliants but I do sparingly use this on my body. I would never use it on my face as the beads are shockingly small and harsh, leaving your moisture barrier damaged over time and worsening acne. It contains harsh alcohols, fragrances [redacted]

It's a shame that it smells so nice. Please look into less harsh physical scrubs or even a chemical exfoliant like an AHA or BHA.

Didn't work for me
This scrub broke me out and irritated my skin, but it is affordable and effective for some people
