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!

Pros:

Leaves skin soft and smooth getting rid of dead skin cells

Cons:

Doesn't completely clear blemishes

For those who find it hard to scrub round your face, don't use. Although if you need to exfoliate your face use this and it helps a little to clear bemishes. Also moisturize after use

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:

It leaves skin soft. Works really well for back acne. Smells nice. Exfoliates well.

Cons:

my skin kinda built up a tolerance for it, i believe. I've been using this stuff for over a year now, and I got great results during the first 5 or 6 months. Now, I'm really broken out and the face wash feels really irritating on my skin. :(

This is great stuff, for a while.

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!

Pros:

I've used this for YEARS and can't live without out. It smells good, has the most exfoliating "scrubbies" out of everything I've tried, and just plain WORKS!! I heard about it from my cousin when I was younger, and now many of my friends use it too!

Cons:

None! Excellent product!!

Could use some more exciting packaging.... but who really cares about the packing when it WORKS.

I've tried many other scrubbing salicylic face washes when they come out, but I ALWAYS come back to this one. This has the most scrubbing action, the freshest scent, and works the best overall!

Pros:

Clears up smaller acne, makes skin softer. Less oily skin. Great product for it's price

Cons:

Grains too harsh for daily use. After awhile, it starts to dry out.

The grains are a bit too harsh for being used twice a day. I started out with using this product once before I woke up and once before going to bed. I have extremely acne prone skin, even though the year before it was flawless. Use this at MOST once a day and do not literally scrub it on your face. Lightly rub in circles around problem areas, LIGHTLY. Because if you scrub too hard or use it too often, it will make your skin extremely sensitive and it will start to flake. My skin is much better due to this. However, because my skin began get irritated after frequent daily use, I switched to the gentler one for sensitive skin. It's grains are much smaller and there are a lot less. You will need to use a moisturizer after using this. :) Good luck with your acne!

Pros:

It makes my skin soft after I use it.

Cons:

Doesn't exactly clean it up.

Don't only use this! Use this about once a week with other cleansers. this is NOT a cleanser, its just a scub, and is not meant to replace cleaning. It does make my skin really soft though, but remember not to scrub too hard, very gently or it could lead to more acne.

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.
