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.

Pros:

Smells nice.
Makes your face feel clean after usage.
Left face soft.
Cheap.

Cons:

Not for sensitive skin.
Texture is too thick and sandy.
Made me break out even more.

I was really hoping this wasn't going to have any cons. But unfortunately I felt like this scrub was too coarse for my skin. It has some pros to it though as stated above. But I can not use this on my face without breaking out after wards. Although I do use It on my body and it keeps my arms and legs looking smooth while removing dead skin. So basically It didn't work on my face but It wasn't a waste of money in the end and it might work for you but it might not if your skin is as sensitive as mine.

Pros:

St. Ives is affordable, easy to find in stores, and smells good.

Cons:

It's terrible for sensitive skin, and caused the worst breakout ever on my chin, even after using it only twice in the course of one week.

Although everyone reacts differently, this is definitely not a product I'd recommend for sensitive, acne-prone skin. My skin broke out incredibly badly, and now I have itchy red bumps and whiteheads all over my chin. It definitely didn't live up to the hype, and I'm going back to my Neutrogena facial soap bar. It's much, much better.

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:

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:

It gives you a really good clean feeling, like you've just cleared all the dirt away from your face. Also try using this product for ingrown hair in unwanted areas, really works ((i.e. underarms, legs).

Cons:

I broke out when using this product. Supposedly, you shouldn't be using scrubs daily because it actually releases certain bacteria to spread on your face, causing break outs.

I stopped using this product for my face, but continue to use it for other areas for ingrown hairs. It's cheap.

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:

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.

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...
