Pros:

You feel like you have baby skin!

Cons:

If you scrub too hard, you will go red. So use a gentle sliding motion. It is too harsh for the face, though.

It is the BEST exfoliating product I've come across, and I've used pretty much everything on the market. It is gentle enough for regular use and best for use on the body.

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:

it makes your skin smoother

Cons:

It didn't get rid of my acne

I like this product because it does help make skin softer,and doesn't irritate my acne like other scrubs, hovever it doesn't get rid of acne on it's own. If used with other products it is helpful for smoothness.

Pros:

This product made my skin feel super soft after 3 days of using! It gently exfoliates your skin with the scrubbers in it and the fragrance isn't half bad either.

Cons:

No noticeable change in acne within a week of use.

My friend recommended this product for me and I've been using it for about a week now. There is no noticeable change in clearing of the skin, but hopefully my face will clear as I keep using it. The friend who recommended it has been using it for a month and she's seeing great results!

my favourite exfoliator.
i love this, have used it for a few years and although i can't say this has improved my skin (as i use several treatments at the same time) it certainly gives your skin a good scrubbing and leaves it feeling clean. i wouldn't recommend it for sensitive skin but if you have tough skin like me then it is perfect. reasonably priced too - would always recommend.

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...

Pros:

Can literally feel the little micro beads cleaning out your pores.

Cons:

REALLY REALLY dries out your skin, especially the area around your eyes such your eye lid.

It gets rid of acne but after a while skin starts peeling off of your skin in flakes. I had to stop using the medication and switch to something else that has a natural moisturizer.

Pros:

refines the texture of your skin mega-ly, prevents most breakouts, clears oily skin well.

Cons:

acne isn't totally under control with this product.

i really like this scrub. i don't usually bother writing reviews for products, but i thought that for this one, it would be worth it! it's so far the best acne wash i've found. i have oily to combination skin with mild acne + acne scarring. i think this does an amazing job of cleaning and exfoliating the skin. it's the best feeling i've gotten from any product! it even seems that my overall complexion is evening out, so i think the results will improve other time. i will definitely keep using it!
