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.

~Smells very nice

Cons:

~It's a little bit rough

As soon as I washed it off, my skin smelt beautiful, fresh and my skin was soft and smooth. It can be a little harsh on sensitive skin.

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:

Fresh scent, saw a difference after first wash, skin feels smooth and acne scars gradually fade. Great for oily skin!

Cons:

Skin feels slightly dry, but not a biggie

Great, inexpensive product. I use it everyday because I find using it everyday works for me. Its not meant for daily use for everyone!

Pros:

very cheap and it made my skin absolutely glow after i used it! literally, i have some color back in my face and my skin is silky smooth. it wasnt oily at all and it smels fresh and clean. but not too harsh.

Cons:

none :)

you absolutely have to try it out. now i dont haveany acne just a pimple occasionally, but i do have dry skin and this definitely helped. i didnt even have to put on any of my olay daily moisturizer (which is a great product too i must say). but i do recomend using it in the shower at night if you have dry skin, it allows you to go to bed feeling refreshed and gain some of your natural moisture while you sleep. this is definitely a 10/10. love it!

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.

Excellent

Pros:

Amazing Scent
Dead skin removal (leaving my skin super soft and wanting to touch it!)
Affordable price

Cons:

May be fairly abrasive if you scrub too hard with it. (But, I find it works great for me- so be careful and use with care))

I'm a 17-year old male that uses this product. As a male, I never really go "experimenting" with products, I kind of just buy it based on looks and sometimes what my sister recommends me. I wouldn't say it necessarily helps with acne, but I find it exfoliating and dead skin-removing amazing, that being said I hear people thinking it's too rough etc, I think it's just the way it's being used, my skin is fairly sensitive yet it still works wonders. When Scrubbing I notice a stingy feeling, which I believe is normal in order for the acid to removes dead skin cells, oil, and other impurities.

okay not great
It's just okay. I have severe acne, and I don't like the beads in it. It is very irritating to my already inflamed skin. Also the tiny beads get stuck in my small dents on my face which are still not completely healed. I don't like that at all. It probably works better for mild acne. Definitely don't try this with severe acne...too harsh and will irritate your skin more.
