Pros:

Works well to clear up dead skin cells... makes skin feel smoother.

Cons:

Breakouts! You will break out... I have extremely oily skin, and everytime I use this product I end up breaking out around my cheeks.

Great for getting rid of dead skin cells... but you will end up regretting using it since it will break u out.

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.

Pros:

It cleared me up in like a week.

Cons:

It isn't all gone just little bumps (nothing I can't cover up with makeup).

I have been using this for like 2 weeks now and it is working really well. I get the occasional pimples but nothing out of the ordinary.

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:

Really good exfoliator!

Cons:

Broke me out in BIG CYSTS that lasted several weeks... made my skin more oily!

Not worth it at all, if you have very light acne and strong skin this might be good. I see all these good reviews and I was hoping for something good, but I guess my skin has become sensitive over the years of trying sooo many acne products. I HATE ACNE, it has ruined 7 years of my life! Aveeno products are much better, I just started on that this month and love it :)

Pros:

Smells good
Cheap

Cons:

Way too rough, damaging to skin
Didn't clear my skin

This did absolutely nothing for my skin. It actually made my skin oily, every time I ever used it, the next day my skin was much oilier than it usually it. Plus, I heard it can be very damaging to your skin from many different websites. DON'T USE IT!

Pros:

Not harsh at all. Gently exfoliates thoroughly. Skin feels very soft and fresh after use. Get rids of dead skin cells and oil residues very well.

Cons:

None actually, but I am not sure if it did any help with my acne. But it didn't do anything to make it worse either.

Try it! Unless you can find something better at such a price...
