Pros:

umm...none actually

Cons:

horrible smell. Red spots are still there. I got Cysts on my back.

I dont know what apricot they're smelling but it must be nasty. I still have red spots and old acne hasnt healed yet.

Pros:

It just works. Period. I started using it a month or so ago, and my face was pretty close to being clear in about three days.

Cons:

You need to have a crazy good moisturizer.

It's worth the dry skin, trust me. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and it doesn't give me any irritation problems whatsoever. Not too pricey, gets rid of anything that might clog your pores. It's just good. :]

Pros:

Smells good, makes the skin feel smooth.

Cons:

Made me brake out with big cystic pimples each and everytime I used it, perhaps it wasn't meant for my skin type which tolerates almost anything.

Good scrub, maybe the beads r pore clogging or something else but I definitely broke out everytime I used it.

Pros:

It leaves skin soft. Works really well for back acne. Smells nice. Exfoliates well.

Cons:

my skin kinda built up a tolerance for it, i believe. I've been using this stuff for over a year now, and I got great results during the first 5 or 6 months. Now, I'm really broken out and the face wash feels really irritating on my skin. :(

This is great stuff, for a while.
