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:

Very afordable.Great for skin.Removes acne.=]!!

Cons:

None :)

Okay so i've been having trouble with acne since i'm a teen but then i came across Apricot scrub. It works wonders. Some people are saying that the walnuts in this are bad because it could tear up your skin but ignore that.You really have to scrub gently and even though it says for about a minute keep scrubbing gently for like 4 minutes. Don't give up you won't see results right away,you'll see them in about 8 weeks or so.It really dries your pimples up and the saly.acid is good for you!! <3333

Pros:

gets rid of those flakey dead skin cells. Skin feels so good after its dry. Washes off easily. It just feels cleaner than any other scrub i've tried.

Cons:

I do NOT have sensitive skin, I wouldnt recommend it for those who do. I don't scrub the scrub either, i just lightly glide it around my skin.

A moisteriser of course is a must. I've read some bad reviews on here about this product and I can understand why some people find it irritating, etc. if they have sensitive skin. I have very stubborn, deep acne and skin of steel so it doesn't bother me one bit.

Pros:

It just works. Period. I started using it a month or so ago, and my face was pretty close to being clear in about three days.

Cons:

You need to have a crazy good moisturizer.

It's worth the dry skin, trust me. I have EXTREMELY sensitive skin and it doesn't give me any irritation problems whatsoever. Not too pricey, gets rid of anything that might clog your pores. It's just good. :]
