Pros:

- smells great
- doesn't leave my skin dry
- gets rid of acne
& of course leaves me feeling clean

Acne has been on me of my biggest problem . Even though it's not alot it still bugs me. But what I love about this scrub is that it really prevents pimples , i don't know about black heads but pimples is a forsure. I do it twice a day in the morning while I'm in the showe and at night before I go to sleep. Ive tried tons of different face scrubs and this works. I would recommend it to anyone

Pros:

-natural ingredients/extracts
-not tested on animals
-leaves skin feeling very smooth
-skin glows
-removes old, dry skin

Cons:

-can be a little harsh if you use to much at once/scrub too hard

This is a very good scrub. I don't use it often because it's very effective. I use it when my skin is feeling extra oily and gross (about 1-2 times a week) Sometimes to get a really nice deep exfoliation, I use it along with my Clarisonic and the brush action plus this scrub leaves my skin glowing, smooth and just wonderful. It's a little red at first, but that goes away :)

Pros:

- smells good
-natural extracts
- good for skin
-reduces scars
-helps acne
- clears skin
-cheap

Cons:

....umm well.... ....I don't have any

I bought a 300ml jar of this scrub after I tried the 99 cent samples. Within three days my acne was clearing up!! I couldn't believe a cheap face scrub would clear my acne!!! I use the scrub everynight..... ( yes I know your not supposed to use a scrub this often, but this really help my skin and my acne). 1)I rise my face with hot water;no soap 2) I pat dry my face a little because I don't want too much water. 3) I massage the scrub on my face for 1-2 min 4) rise off with hot water ... Note in the morning I close my pores with cold water.at night I keep my pores open so my moisturizer can sink into my skin better I have been using this for over a year and I'm really impressed... In total I only remeber having 6 pimples!!! My acne serverity of my acne went to moderate to very light (5.50 for a 300ml jar in Canada) I like to use this often for my rough oily skin! Just start out slow and your face should be beautiful !!!!!

Pros:

* Leaves your face oil free and smooth to touch
* Exfoliates away any dead skin cells
* Smells WONDERFUL!
* Keeps acne down when used twice a week!
* Diminishes blackheads & whiteheads
* You will GLOW!
* CHEAP!

Cons:

* Dry your face out if you use it for a long time/ everyday so don't do that

It works after a long period of time. I've been using it for a month but I seem to see scars and pimples disappear! In the shower I apply it to my whole body, chest, back and face. I let it sit while I wash my hair and then rise my whole self afterwards. It becomes smooth to the touch and oil-free! For once my body and face feel refreshed and not that I have infested acne all over them. Mind you, I don't think it will actually get rid of all my acne but it helps me feel clean without harsh chemicals and the 2% salicylic is a nice touch! I would REALLY recommend getting your hands on this product.

Pros:

-Cleans deep into pores to remove dirt and oils
- Gets rid of Blackheads and WhiteHeads
- Does not overdry skin
- Makes pores appear smaller
- Good Smell

Cons:

- None

I have been using this product for over a year now, on a daily babis. Before using this product, my breakouts were quite severe and could not be covered. After about a week my skin looked clearer and radiant. Many say that it overdrys , but i dont find it does, and you should be using a moisturizer anyways. Also many say that it should be used only once a week but by apllying a light amount in the shower and gently (very gently) massaging it on your face it can be used daily. BOTTOM LINE---its an affordable great scrub

Pros:

-Makes your skin very smooth and soft
-Smells good
-Fights blackheads and whiteheads
-Doesn't feel rough putting it on like some scrubs
-It's refreshing

Cons:

-Can dry out skin or get sporatic breakouts if used more than once a week

I think this scrub is great to use. It smells great, and wakes me up in the morning. This is the kind of scrub you want to use if you don't want it to scratch your skin badly as you're putting it on. The only thing is to not use it more than once a week. Otherwise, it can be quite drying, and could create breakouts. This is especially for people with very sensitive skin. Otherwise, it's a great product for removing lots of blackheads and whiteheads, and to have nice smelling, soft skin. I highly recommend this St. Ives Apricot Scrub.

Pros:

its smells great, it last for a long time, i have sensitive skin and it works just great, it doesn't irritate my skin, i have oily skin and it works great, and it lasts a long time.

Cons:

It is a tiny bit drying, but not horrible like you feel your face is cracking into pieces lol

This is great stuff i just wish it was a little more moisturizing but it doesn't really bother me =] i use this everyday and like i said i have very sensitive skin and oily skin and this doesn't break me out and isn't too harsh for my skin at all... i Iove the feeling of it on my face i feel like its scrubbing away all your imperfections and impurities, and when you rinse it off, your face is squeaky clean and when you dry it off, its nice and soft =] i actually got 2 because they were on sale at Walgreens 2 for $6.00 =D it lasts me a loooonng time all you need is a quarter sized amount.. i will continue to use this forever and ever =] oh and if you have dry skin dont use this everyday.. use it like once a week but whatever works for your skin =]

Pros:

- Leaves skin smooth
-minimizes pores
-smells great
-gentle enough

Cons:

none.

I think this a great product! I'm eighteen and expensive brands have never helped my acne. I've been struggling since I was 12 and this product finally helped clear me up and smooth my skin out! I use it once a day, everynight before i sleep, and then use Cetaphil Gentle Cleanser in the morning along with a good moisturizer. I don't even use a spot treatment anymore! Great Product!
