Pros:

Cleared little tiny white heads.
Good, strong scrub
Creamy texture

Cons:

Didn't do much for over all skin.
Stopped working after a while.
Makes face red

I used this scrub for around a year. Its the type of scrub that feels really fun to use. (It's creamy and scrubby) But, its horrible for your skin. Made my skin red and my acne bleed.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Makes my skin feel weird after I use it, like it has a very thick, greasy lotion on it.

The beads get into my eyes no matter how careful I am.

I reallyyyyy don't like this product, at all.

Pros:

Smells good :D

Cons:

Will destroy your face

My friend has used this for years, because she's just never bothered to get another facial cleanser. She has the most rediculous blackheads all over her face, which isn't caused by this product; that's just the way her skin is. Her face looks rough and flaky, and it's red almost all the time. If anything, the product hurts more than helps your skin. It's simply way too harsh :'( Tip: try using a basic, but effective cleanser, combined with baking soda. Baking soda is seriously the best exfoliant ever; it's so gentle, yet extremely effective. ;)

The beads are HUGE and it burns after a while.The breakouts stoped after a few weeks but came back

I used THREE tubes of it and my acne did not improve or got worse PS.This product is cheaper in Trinidad than the US because the conversion rate is $1US to $6TT

Made my skin look dull

Doesn't clean very well

I've been using this for two or three weeks now. I've been noticing acne near my eyebrows just after 3 uses of it. After I use this, It makes my skin look so dull and it loses it's radiance.

Pros:

very good exfoliant, did a nice job on my blackheads and a good price
