Pros:

leaves skin amazingly soft & smooth. smells good. cheap. scrubs away dead skin. gives a nice glowy complexion.

Cons:

can be quiet harsh if used incorrectly. use VERY gentle circular motions!!

It is the best exfoliation for oily and acne prone skin. This is better than the Invigorating one. It makes your face so much softer! I was amazed at the results. This is definitely a must-have in my skin care routine.

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...

Pros:

Skin feels very soft, and fresh after use. Great to use in the shower! I have very sensitive skin, and have not found this product to be too harsh.

Cons:

Doesn't really help with acne.

This product has not helped decrease my acne, however it has given my skin a better overall appearance. Does a great job of removing dead skin cells, and leaves you with a fresh feeling and appearance. Definitely use with another acne treatment.

Pros:

-Good consistency
-This is a TRUE SCRUB you actually feel the exfoliation, make sure you don't scrub to hard
-I like the packaging and the ease of using the product it comes out nicely. Excellent Product

Cons:

The New Scent is HORRIBLE. It actually smells like your cleaning the toilet or the floor its really strong.

If they didn't change the Scent/fragrance this would be a wonderful formula. I aminly use this for Bacne and it works it exfoliates nicely and my acne seems to be less and less. I use this almost everyday for the back since the back has a stronger outershell skin. I leave this on the back for an extra 2 mins for the SA to do some work. I'm loving this product and the price is Great $3 for it and it's great. I use both this and the original formula as a body scrub. Best and cheap scrubs!

Pros:

You feel like you have baby skin!

Cons:

If you scrub too hard, you will go red. So use a gentle sliding motion. It is too harsh for the face, though.

It is the BEST exfoliating product I've come across, and I've used pretty much everything on the market. It is gentle enough for regular use and best for use on the body.

Pros:

WORKS! non-irritating, smells nice (or at least it used to), gets rid of flakes, feels really CLEANSING

Cons:

literally, none for me.

I used this everyday for about a year and had perfect skin. I used the medicated at night and invigorating in the mornings. I didn't even moisturize or do anything else. Sadly, though...it completely stopped working! now, my skin sucks more than ever. Woopee!
