Good exfoliating product..but sometimes a little too rough.

Pros:

Exfoliates
Cheap

Cons:

Irritating

I would recommend this if you have really resistant skin.. but the product contains little jagged pieces of apricot pit.. which tares micro holes in the skin. It does exfoliate.. but not in the most productive way possible.

Pros:

Really cleans out your pores and gets rid of your dead skin.

Cons:

none

Great face wash. Gets rid of the dry skin flakes that can clog your pores. I use the NON salicylic acid apricot face scrub before bed as the one with the acid could dry out my skin even more. After washing my face I then use jojoba oil straight to moisturize.

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

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:

Smells nice.
Makes your face feel clean after usage.
Left face soft.
Cheap.

Cons:

Not for sensitive skin.
Texture is too thick and sandy.
Made me break out even more.

I was really hoping this wasn't going to have any cons. But unfortunately I felt like this scrub was too coarse for my skin. It has some pros to it though as stated above. But I can not use this on my face without breaking out after wards. Although I do use It on my body and it keeps my arms and legs looking smooth while removing dead skin. So basically It didn't work on my face but It wasn't a waste of money in the end and it might work for you but it might not if your skin is as sensitive as mine.

Pros:

This product leaves my skin feeling extremely smooth and clean. It removes all of my dead skin and smells like fresh apricots.

Cons:

The beads in the formula are pretty rough. Most of the blackheads on my face are still there.

I wasn't really expecting huge results from this product. But it's an ok product simply because it makes my skin feel good, clean and gets rid of all the grossness on it.
