Pros:

makes you feel like youre cleaning your face really good but really youre irritating your skin. good for chest and back acne NOT FOR FACE!

Cons:

too irritating and really does make you break out more than you would if didnt use it on your face.

you should not use a scrub on your face, i stopped using it and my face actually cleared up, i didnt change anything different in my routine but i just stopped using this on my face. that doesnt mean its a bad product, my sister uses this and she doesnt have acne, but for acne prone skin i think its too harsh and irritating.

Pros:

refines the texture of your skin mega-ly, prevents most breakouts, clears oily skin well.

Cons:

acne isn't totally under control with this product.

i really like this scrub. i don't usually bother writing reviews for products, but i thought that for this one, it would be worth it! it's so far the best acne wash i've found. i have oily to combination skin with mild acne + acne scarring. i think this does an amazing job of cleaning and exfoliating the skin. it's the best feeling i've gotten from any product! it even seems that my overall complexion is evening out, so i think the results will improve other time. i will definitely keep using it!

Pros:

Leaves skin soft and smooth getting rid of dead skin cells

Cons:

Doesn't completely clear blemishes

For those who find it hard to scrub round your face, don't use. Although if you need to exfoliate your face use this and it helps a little to clear bemishes. Also moisturize after use

Pros:

The first two days it made my skin very soft and I thought it would end up working well.

Cons:

after about three days or so it ended up spreading my acne to areas of my face it had never been a problem in before.

It made my acne MUCH MUCH worse. I wouldn't risk it if I were you.. seriously.

Pros:

Exfoliates skin well, all natural

Cons:

The crushed walnut shell I think it is that they use for exfoliation is kind of harsh and dries my skin out. Left my skin so oily I had to use an anti-oil facewash like the neutrogena brownish orange clear stuff afterward.

Doesnt prevent breakouts. Exfolitant dries skin and is too harsh. Leaves skin feeling oily.

Pros:

Cleared little tiny white heads.
Good, strong scrub
Creamy texture

Cons:

Didn't do much for over all skin.
Stopped working after a while.
Makes face red

I used this scrub for around a year. Its the type of scrub that feels really fun to use. (It's creamy and scrubby) But, its horrible for your skin. Made my skin red and my acne bleed.

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.
