Pros:

- Makes skin soooo soft
- smells yummy

Cons:

- Made me break out when I used it too often (everyday, sometimes twice a day)

I started using it again after a couple months after it totally destroyed my face and made it worse than ever. I use it once every few days, maybe just once a week just to take off some dead skin cells. and after I use aveeno clear complexion foaming cleanser which I love. I use that everyday though. so far so good. Im just tryna make sure I dont over due it!

Pros:

Makes skin feel sooo soft after washing off!
Exfoliates
Smells good
Faded acne quite a bit

Cons:

Didn't help get rid of blackheads

This is a great choice for an exfoliating scrub, and you should use it 3-4 times a week. I personally think it helps with pimples and making skin feel soft, but it didn't help with blackheads at all.

Pros:

It works for awhile and it smells nice.

Cons:

Once your face gets used to slathering the scrub on, it tends not to work as well. It is a little harsh but my skin is not sensitive so mine was fine. However, it is a APRICOT scrub. Some of the residue was left in the sink and a cockroach was found- eating the residue!!!! Make sure you scrub the sink after wards.

Try it out. It's pretty good.

Pros:

Leaves skin really smooth and clean

Cons:

Does not really help with acne

A scrub basically removes the outer later of dirt, dead skin and all that gunk trapped in your face. What is revealed is clear skin, regulated oil secretion and smoother face. And in turn, acne will be less prone to pop out. It does that for me, so i'm fine with it. I tried some more expensive brands, but nothing gives me more satisfaction than St Ives!

Pros:

Helps remove dry skin from old or healing acne lesions. Helps remove dry skin from possible eczema patch on my forehead.

Cons:

Can over-dry. Must use a moisturizer afterward.

I'm not sure that it's helped reduce over-all acne, but I do have a bad habit of falling asleep in my makeup. It has made my skin much softer and smoother. I'm probably exfoliating too often, but I alternate every other day with either Cetaphil (the foaming one, to remove makeup), or Neutrogena salicylic acid wash.

Pros:

this works! it does everything it says it would do. it feels like a layer of dirt was stripped off my face - leaving me feeling completely fresh after i washed it off. the fragrance is nice and not too overpowering. doesn't make my skin oily at all.

Cons:

the beads can be harsh on a dry face. not to be used on a daily basis.

i started using this about two months ago, and it basically just cleans your face and gets rid of any dirt deep in your pores. it relieves your face of any future breakouts, but the old ones still linger on your skin a bit unless you use something else. i use it about 3 times a week, and it's given me good results. i love the super clean feel it gives. don't forget to moisturize!

Pros:

really cleans off the dead skin and leaves your face feeling fresh & clean.

Cons:

It's thick and the beads are very rough on the skin if you use them every day.

It's a nice product it helps if you use it about every other day & give your skin a chance to take a break from constant washing.

Pros:

This srub makes your skin really really smooth,has a nice smell too.Slather it onto yr face,esp on the pimples and acnes and leave it on for 5 min b4 rinsing them off.Blemishes are reduced after 3 days of use.

Cons:

The beads are really really huge.DO NOT SCRUB THEM ON YOUR FACE IF U HAVE LARGE PORES as srubing them will only make your pores larger.TRUST ME! just slather them onto yr face and leave on for 5 min.

Well,the tube is huge,price is cheap and can last u for quite a few months.The smell is really nice too.Just make sure u dont srub them if u have large pores. Just a note*this product is much expensive in singapore than in the us! so envious of ppl staying in the us...
