good but a little rough on skin
I bought this a few months ago in superdrug. The price was really cheap so I feel its good for the price. The scrub deep cleans the skin so i only tend to use it twice weekly. It is a little too rough for me personally for everyday use. Would recommend in between a proper skincare routine but not for overly sensitive skin.

It's okay

Pros:

Cleans pores
light
cheap

Cons:

Doesn't prevet acne

I would say this is best for young children, may be 10-14. It worked great until I turned 15 then I needed a stronger wash. But for the price its fine. More for someone with light acne nothing more.

-exfoliates well

Good product for mornings. I thought it was ok. The smell is nice, and it works most of the time. I really like it to get the dead skin cells off.

Provides Smooth Skin
This product makes your skin feel so soft and smooth. It made my skin feel clean and refreshed. But, it didnt help improve my acne. It smells good and the bottle is super cute, but if your looking for a product to help clear acne, this is not the product for you. Only buy this if you want a product to help your sensitive skin feel smooth.

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:

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.

Pros:

I've loved this product for years. But they recently changed it.

Cons:

The new version STINKS..literally. It is horrid. I am devastated. I threw it out. Beware as they make the new scent label really small. I had no warning and used it. What a terrible experience to have put such a rancid thing on my skin.

St. Ives has lost me and probable thousands of customers. Whoever is in charge of marketing has no clue and should be fired immediately. I have yet to come across one person who likes it...

Pros:

Been using for 15 years, works great

Cons:

Hate the new scent, wish they would bring back the old along with the other (easy to use) container - smaller lid to open.

Will still use if they bring back the old scent

Pros:

It is affordable, it exfoliates well and gently. But, it leaves my skin feeling a little dry afterward. It may work on light acne.

Cons:

It does not get rid of your acne, it made me break out even more.

It did not work for me, and it did not get rid of my acne.

Pros:

smells good

Cons:

Made me break out more. Didn't get rid of blackheads or blemishes. The lady that gives me facials said this scrub is rough and ruins peoples skin... YIKES!!!

doesn't work!!! Waste of time! Don't buy it! If you have bad acne problems go to a dermatologist or buy some dermalogica products.
