Pros:

Smooths out your skin. It gives me a healthy glow if used with other parts of the line.

Cons:

it doesn't work to clear blemishes on it's own but it still works well.

For those who find skin red and irritated afterward: Try exfoliating gently. Don't rub really hard. That's just asking for bad skin!Take your time-Don't rush through it!

Pros:

wow, love the smell, love the feeling, my skin is super soft after using it, makes my skin glow.

Cons:

the beads seem like they might irritate if I scrub too hard, so I'll have to be careful.
oh! they don't recommend how often to use it on the back, so I'm not really sure.

LOVE THIS so far. not sure if it'll work, but smells amazing & makes my skin feel super lovely afterwards. (:

Pros:

- Oil-free
- Made my sking feel smooth/clean
- Smell is good!

Cons:

- "Beads" don't wash off that easily

I've been using Neutrogena's Oil-Free Acne Wash for over 6-7 months, twice a day like it said in the bottle, it first worked but then my acne came back, got tired of it so I bought this, it's amazing and it actually cleared up my acne!

Pros:

WORKS! non-irritating, smells nice (or at least it used to), gets rid of flakes, feels really CLEANSING

Cons:

literally, none for me.

I used this everyday for about a year and had perfect skin. I used the medicated at night and invigorating in the mornings. I didn't even moisturize or do anything else. Sadly, though...it completely stopped working! now, my skin sucks more than ever. Woopee!

Pros:

be gentle and ur left with smooth cleansed skin.

Cons:

be rough and u'll be sanding ur face off.

used this for 2 days and my skin looks much nicer, i have moderate acne and am on accutane. directions: gently remove the top layer of dead skin cells, dirt etc then use a good moisturiser and u'll be amazed.

Pros:

smells good and has good consistency. clears blackheads and makes skin smooth. oh and i also love how it is not tested on animals. major plus for me. ^-^

Cons:

can dry out if used too often. i reccomend once a week. definatley a side scrub.

do not only use this, make sure you are using a cleanser and moisturizer as well. i use this in the shower about once to twice a week. you can also use it on your back or chest, works very well. also, like the last person said, do not scrub! just barley touch your face and the little grains will do the work.

I LOVE this product.
I have mild hormonal acne around my chin only, and I use this to scrub away dry skin after a pimple has popped. It is great for getting rid of dirt and buildup. I don't find it dries out my skin or makes it red at all. It also doesn't make me breakout more. It's great!!

Pros:

It is reallly great it clears up acne for a while! This product is well worth buying!

Cons:

None. Well not really.

I have been using the Non Medicated formula and that worked great too. But yesterday as I was walking throught Wal-Mart I noticed there was a differnt formula so I had to get it! I have Sensitive skin and I leave this on for 1 min and it still works. All I have to say this is the most greatest acne product ever!

Pros:

Really deep cleans, smells nice, helps with acne.

Cons:

Kind of abrasive.

This deep cleans and smells delicious. It also helps with my acne overnight. However, it can be abrasive for people with dry or sensitive skin. Its fine for me though! Just rub gently.
