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.

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.

Pros:

makes skin soft.

Cons:

made pores bigger, made my acne worse.

i used to use this about 3 to 4 times a week when my acne was light. i noticed my pores getting bigger then i stsrted breaking out none stop. aspecialy when i have already broken out. i think this would be a good product for people who just want an extra clean and soft skin not for the perpose of getting rid of acne.

Pros:

-Smelled Good
-exfoliated good
-took away oil

Cons:

Made my acne more red that it was and did not help me at all!

I have had acne for 2 years now. It first started as only like 2 but it got worse and now i have it one my forehead and chin. This acne wash did not help at all and was not very promising from the start. It made my pimples more red and irritated. I would not recommend this.

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.
