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!

Pros:

It is reallly great it clears up acne for a while! This product is well worth buying!

Cons:

None. Well not really.

I have been using the Non Medicated formula and that worked great too. But yesterday as I was walking throught Wal-Mart I noticed there was a differnt formula so I had to get it! I have Sensitive skin and I leave this on for 1 min and it still works. All I have to say this is the most greatest acne product ever!

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.

Tough Skin Only
Works but you have to have really tough skin for this one.

Pros:

Really deep cleans, smells nice, helps with acne.

Cons:

Kind of abrasive.

This deep cleans and smells delicious. It also helps with my acne overnight. However, it can be abrasive for people with dry or sensitive skin. Its fine for me though! Just rub gently.

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:

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:

GREAT exfoliator, i tend to mix it with other scrubs that dont have enough 'beads'

Cons:

really harsh or your skin, and it doesnt really help clear acne all that much =[

if you DO use this, make sure you dont use it too often x] cuz it gives your skin 'micro-cuts'
