Pros:

-really good smell :)

Cons:

-granules too harsh
-didn't help with my acne
-left a slight film on skin
-didn't clean my skin enough

This product didn't really break me out, but it certainly didn't help with my acne/blackheads as it claimed either.. :( If it had foamed up a little it may have been a bit more effective. I think this product would be better for someone with very light acne and skin that isn't sensitive and is normal-dry-combination. This scrub would probably be too harsh for moderate-severe acne. For me though..it was a miss.

Pros:

Smell. Price.

Cons:

Messed my skin up after a year.

This really didn't do anything for my acne. So I started using it when my acne was very light. Only around my hairline and sometimes on my forehead. Now, I have very intense acne. I don't know whether to blame St. Ives, or BP, but I doubt it's the BP.

Pros:

smoothes skin, removes dead skin

Cons:

Increases oil production

I use it once a day before my panoxyl. I've had acne for years and it hasn't given me much trouble.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

TEARS AND DAMAGES YOUR SKIN

Sure this may seem like it exfoliates your skin but the rough pieces in it are actually damaging and tearing your skin little by little. A doctor told me this! You should only use washes that have the tiny beads in them to exfoliate or plain old wash rag! DO NOT USE THIS STUFF!! Damage unrepairable! Google it!
