Pros:

this works! it does everything it says it would do. it feels like a layer of dirt was stripped off my face - leaving me feeling completely fresh after i washed it off. the fragrance is nice and not too overpowering. doesn't make my skin oily at all.

Cons:

the beads can be harsh on a dry face. not to be used on a daily basis.

i started using this about two months ago, and it basically just cleans your face and gets rid of any dirt deep in your pores. it relieves your face of any future breakouts, but the old ones still linger on your skin a bit unless you use something else. i use it about 3 times a week, and it's given me good results. i love the super clean feel it gives. don't forget to moisturize!

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:

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 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. ;)

Pros:

It smells amazing and is cheap

Cons:

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

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.
