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:

-exfoliates well

Cons:

-made acne worse
-worsened redness

I used this stuff some when I was about 13 and I didn't have any problems with it. It was a nice addition to my daily regimen. As I moved through different products trying to cure my acne, I dropped it. When I was 17, my acne went from somewhere between light and moderate to moderately severe and it spread from my T-zone to all over my face. Nothing's worked since. My first year at college, however, I went back to this stuff to cut costs (I think it may have been a generic brand though) and my acne got at least 40% worse on it. I don't know why it was fine at 13 and terrible at 18, but do be careful with this stuff. Other factors that might be relevant: I had just stopped using ProActiv because of the obscene cost, and I used this product every day. Perhaps a less frequent use would've given better results, but I'm not going to take the chance.

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:

-Smelled Good
-exfoliated good
-took away oil

Cons:

Made my acne more red that it was and did not help me at all!

I have had acne for 2 years now. It first started as only like 2 but it got worse and now i have it one my forehead and chin. This acne wash did not help at all and was not very promising from the start. It made my pimples more red and irritated. I would not recommend this.

Pros:

-not too rough
-smells like tangerines!
-feels nice

Cons:

none!

i love this stuff! i've been using it for a few weeks now, and my skin is soo smooth! i use it in the shower about 3-4 times a week. i have been using dan's regimen for so long and i'm acne free except for the occasional pimple, and this is just great for exfoliation. and if you have a minor breakout, dont be afraid! this wont hurt or irritate you. just be gentle, i find that it works great with a bit of acne or none at all. bottom line, this makes our skin sooo smooth and soft! i love it! i will definitely repurchase and stock up!

Pros:

- Clears out your pimples/acne
- Uses natural ingredients
- good price
- good smell
- makes your skin feel fresh and clean

Cons:

If you stop using it for more than 12 hours, pimples re-appear.

Once you use St.Ives, your skin has a great fresh and clean feeling. It helps out with pimples a lot and it cleans out your pores.

Pros:

- Good price
- You can find it everywhere
-Works pretty well if you don't have sensitive skin

Cons:

- May irritate skin, people with sensitive skin shouldn't use it imo

I love this scrub, I've been using it for years because is very cheap and it's practically the same as other scrubs that are like $25 , but as i always say , people should find the product that works well for them , we all are not the same , people with sensitive skin should try more expensive scrubs that are not this harsh. About acne, scrubs only remove DEAD CELLS, that has nothing to do with acne, acne is a disease that its cause because of oily skin, to remove oil you must use a face cleanser
