Pros:

Smells great
Cheap
Available at any major drugstore

Cons:

Didn't work
Granules way too harsh for sensitive skin
Left a strange residue

I have tried using this product 4 times in my life. Each time I tried it for about a month or so to allow time for my skin to adjust. Every single time I got hyge cyst-like pimples in places I never get pimples normally (my cheeks and underneath my chin.) I tossed it and went back to Proactiv, and then tried using it for a body scrub. Guess what? I started getting acne all over my body which I never get. It was worth the try, but it just didn't work.

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:

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:

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:

It leaves my skin oil free and soft. Gets rid of my pimples. I use this product daily and it doesn't irritate my skin. I've been using this product for about 6 years now and nothing works better.

No matter what, I've always come back to this product and it works every time!

Pros:

Smells good, makes the skin feel smooth.

Cons:

Made me brake out with big cystic pimples each and everytime I used it, perhaps it wasn't meant for my skin type which tolerates almost anything.

Good scrub, maybe the beads r pore clogging or something else but I definitely broke out everytime I used it.

Pros:

everything

Cons:

nothing

this is the best face scrub i have ever found. it's best to use in the shower because the scrubies don't wash off easy in the sink. i absolutly notice a difference if i don't use this stuff for a few days, my skin practicly "itches" for it. love it.
