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.

Pros:

I really liked how it smelled, and the beads did not hurt me ata ALL. My skin is very acne prone,and as soon as a week passed after using this, my skin felt better. Really. It did.

Cons:

If you don't wet your face beforehand, it sortof tugsonyourskin, but since I only had that happen once, it's not a bigproblem for me.

This product is wonderful. I have a lot of acne, and this really helped clear it up. I love love love this product. Itmay take abouta week or two before you notice results, but once they do come, they REALLY kick in! BUT if you have sensitive skin, then I don't recommend this product. My skin is pretty tough, so it can handle anything. You really feel the product cleansing, andonce you wash*t off, you feel clean and your skinis soft because all the dead skin cells are gone and exfoliated off. I would DEFINITELY recommend it to anyone.

Pros:

It feels really good on our skin. Very invigorating. I use it just in the morning and it controls the oiliness of my skin very well.

Cons:

It makes my skin read a while after I wash it. Also inflames my blemishes and any little things on my face that may not be 100% even with my skin tone. But after5 or 10 minutes, my skin looks very good and is soft.

I like this product a lot. I just wish it would cer my blemishes 100%.

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:

Smells great, doesn't dry out skin, and makes my skin feel smooth and less oily.

Cons:

Stop working after a while. I think it's better to take a break for 2 days every week.

I like it a lot. I just wish it could work all the time, but pimples come back, so I take a break and use it again in about 2-3 days.

Pros:

the smell! it smells amazing; like an apricot candy. Ah, i love it.
the scrubbing beads leave your skin smooth and clean feeling.
it helps prevent acne pimples. the price is also affordable.

Cons:

if i use it too often, it makes my skin dry and flaky. so i just use it once a week.
some people say that the beads aren't good for your skin since they aren't "round" so they could, overtime, tear your skin. doesn't help my stubborn blackheads.

this scrub is excellent. i don't think that i'll ever use another scrub.it feels amazing and smells even better.it takes some experimenting to know how much exfoliation your skin needs, and after you figure that out, this scrub will benefit you. it also helps my acne pimples a lot, but i have to be gentle so they don't become inflamed. it reduces most of my blackheads, but i have some VERY stubborn ones, so i just use a biore pore strip every month and that helps. if you are thinking about trying this, i would recommend it. you can't go wrong with the price: $3-4. it also lasts you a long time.

Pros:

It leaves my skin oil free and soft. Gets rid of my pimples. I use this product daily and it doesn't irritate my skin. I've been using this product for about 6 years now and nothing works better.

No matter what, I've always come back to this product and it works every time!

Pros:

everything

Cons:

nothing

this is the best face scrub i have ever found. it's best to use in the shower because the scrubies don't wash off easy in the sink. i absolutly notice a difference if i don't use this stuff for a few days, my skin practicly "itches" for it. love it.
