Pros:

I love the way it leaves my face feeling.

Cons:

I hate the new fragrance, I will never buy it again, until they change it back to the original formula.

I have used this product for many years, and am disappointed that they changed it. It smells like my husbands orange hand cleaner. Yuck!

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:

Inexpensive
Skin feels cleaner, smoother, and softer
Gives you a nice healthy glow

Cons:

Absolutely none.

I am in love with this product. It's wonderful for my skin. The new scent does not bother me at all, just as long as it does the job, I'm fine with it. The only thing is that the grainy texture can be a little rough on the skin, so I try not to scrub my face too hard, just gently massage it into my skin for 5 minutes and rinse away. Works well for all skin types, you just have to be gentle with how you use it.

Pros:

I have used this product for 6+ years. I loved the old scent. Worked great to clear up acne.

Cons:

I hate the new scent. It is AWFUL. I will never use this again. I bought the last 2 jars of the old formula at the drugstore. I don't know what I'll use when I run out.

I would have kept buying the original scent formula. Will never buy again.

Pros:

Worked great for years, loved it.

Cons:

Bottom line, I will not continue to use anymore since they changed the fragrance. Awful!

Would not recommend the new strong scented stuff to anyone with allergies, spent over $180 for Dr visit and medication. My eyes almost swelled shut. I hope they bring back the original formula. I thought maybe I got a bad batch at the discount store, but after reading other posts here, seems they did change it.

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.

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.
