Pros:

Leave skin looking at feeling great afterwards.

Cons:

May cause break outs.
Harsh, sandy.

My acne is not horrible, but I have quite sensitive, relatively oily skin. I tend to get break outs on my chin. I really do not recommend getting the drug store brand. I tried it a few years ago found it made my acne infinitely worse and was very harsh. For some reason, the original St. Ive's brand is much better. I would suggest using it as infrequently as possibly, only when necessary (a couple of times a week at most). I would definitely recommend giving it a try if you have no/mild acne and non-sensitive skin. It'll make your face almost glow, and look and feel so much smoother. However, as I mentioned, it's almost sandy and can be too hard on your skin and cause break outs.

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:

skin feels amazing after washing with this

Cons:

comes with the normal expected pain from any exfoiliant

this is great to use a few times a week (or every day like i do) to cleanse your face. if you have anything other than light acne, you might want to look into other products to use in combination with this one.

Pros:

It cleansed my face. My face felt so much softer afterwards and noticed slight difference from having moderate acne. It works great with my other acne-medicated product.

Cons:

Redness occured and also dryness, but nothing too heavy nor painful.

I recommend this. Although I only suggest to exfoliate your face at leats 3 times a week, or the natural oil on your face, that's protecting it from breaking out or dryness can be removed. But of course use a good moisturizer.

Pros:

Smells great
Your skin is softer to the touch and feels cleaner from the first use
It exfoliates your skin really well
Removes oil fron your face without over drying

Cons:

Does nothing to actually prevent pimples or breakouts or treat present ones

This product smells great, works well as an exfoliant, but nothing in the breakout control department. It works well also in clearing up marks on your face and evening your skin tones

Pros:

This product smells like a dream, and works well to clean skin. It doesn't over dry skin or seem to cause breakouts.

Cons:

I find this scrub not effective enough for my acne. I also have oily/sensitive skin easily prone to blackheads. The thing I am down about is some of the ingredients. It contains Sodium Laureth Sulfate and parabens...

St. Ives Apricot Scrub is a nice, reasonably priced product that works well for acne and keeps oily skin at bay.

Pros:

You can literally feel the scrub clean your skin. The smell is to die for and the result is simply flawless.

Cons:

The only con I could think of is trying to wash the product off your face and trying to NOT get it in your hair.

This product is worth every penny! It's affordable and the results are great. I had blemishes on my cheeks for as long as I can remember (hereditary) and since I've used St. Ives Apricot Scrub they are in no sight :)

Pros:

Smells nice, leaves face feeling very clean.

Cons:

Does not help with blackheads. May dry skin a bit.

I have the blemish & blackhead kind, it does keep my pimples to a minimum but will not get rid of blackheads (nothing over the counter will). Does leave your face feeling smooth and clean and gets rid of any tiny bumps. There is a bit of dryness after I use it but a mild lotion helps.

Pros:

I love the way it makes my skin feel. So fresh and so clean, I've notice the little bumps on my face, they were always unnoticeable but can feel them. Using this product made them disapare! no lie.

Cons:

I have more blackheads, i use this product once a day, and it says to use it 3-4 times per week. and the black heads are still there. if i dont use it everyday i have an oily feeling on my face which i dont like at all.

I really do love this product, i've tried many other products and nothing compares to this one. all though i do have my problems that ive listed above. I guess i can't have perfect skin lol.but without this product i would probably still have those little bumps invisible bumps on my face.
