Pros:

Cleans skin, Gets of pimples, smells great

Cons:

Rough scrub

I bought the travel size bottle for vacation that lasted for 1 month and a half and this invigorating scrub works great! I just bought the huge bottle for only 4 bucks at Walgreens. I would definitely get this again. Plus my acne is really bad.

Pros:

cheap and cheerfull :)
makes your skin feel really soft!
helps get rid of marks

Cons:

not really for sensitive skin
i think its a bit harsh to use whilst your acne is still really flared up, when i did i think it just agrivated it. i think because it's so rought it could damage the skin if used when your acne is really bad.

Started using this again now that my acne is going away, I use it followed by bio oil to try and get rid of scars. I don't think it should be used at all to try and get rid of acne (especially if it is severe), it never worked for me and i think it just spreads the bacteria. I would reccommend it for those tyring to get rid of scars, it is slowly working and meanwhile makes my skin so soft and smooth.

Pros:

made skin soft, made skin smooth, acne less red, smells good

Cons:

occasional irritation

The first time I used this, my skin was BADLY irritated. Perhaps it had something to do with the fact that I had never exfoliated before (I was 14) I've used it with caution a few times since then, and it's worked better every time!

Pros:

Gets rid of blemishes
prevents acne
smells alright

Cons:

Rough
makes acne worse at first

I had moderately severe acne a year ago. Went on minocycline, worked for a month. Acne started coming back. I started using this in combination with the st ives green tea. This every 3 days and the green tea every day. My acne is pretty much controlled now. only a pimple or 2 every few days and my past blemishes are disappearing very quickly(it was horrible a year ago). It doesnt work well at first. After 2 weeks or so your skin gets use to it and the salicylic acid works wonders in preventing the acne from emerging. In adition this is an exfoliator which is good to get rid of impurities. I also take biozinc pills+omega 3 every day and i pretty much ahve mild acne now. However im not sure if my acne decreased so much because of this or because the fact that im 18 now and my hormones are starting to balance. Give it a go i'd recommend

Pros:

Smells nice
Not too harsh on the skin

Cons:

Makes my skin a bit red
Gives me more spots sometimes

Out of all the scrubs ive used this has been the one that dosen't make me break out so badly. I only use it once every week roughly though otherwise it would be too much for my skin.

Pros:

It improves everything, really. Whether your problem is blackheads,whiteheads,or just uneven texture this works.

Cons:

Not really a con, but something people do which is completely wrong is use this product more than once a week. That's why you have all the negative reviews here. =]

AS LONG as it's used once on a weekly basis, it works. Worked, i mean it's working for me. =]

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:

•Makes your skin very soft.
•Clears up freckles

Cons:

•Gives you some pimples if you have normal or oily skin

Use it only if you have dry skin. It feels like a mostrizers. Do not use it if you have normal or oily skin. It feels very good. Gives you very soft skin.
