Pros:

gets rid of those flakey dead skin cells. Skin feels so good after its dry. Washes off easily. It just feels cleaner than any other scrub i've tried.

Cons:

I do NOT have sensitive skin, I wouldnt recommend it for those who do. I don't scrub the scrub either, i just lightly glide it around my skin.

A moisteriser of course is a must. I've read some bad reviews on here about this product and I can understand why some people find it irritating, etc. if they have sensitive skin. I have very stubborn, deep acne and skin of steel so it doesn't bother me one bit.

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:

it feels really nice on your skin.. so it doesn't aggravate my red marks by making it redder.. seems to be helping with my whiteheadss :]

Cons:

should use makeup remover before if you use makeup..~

I've tried..proactive.. neutrogena..olay acne scrub..biore..regular soap.. all kinds of things but i think this one is the best because it feels like its exfoliating my skin but yet very gently.. i also use neutrogena acne mark peel 3-5 times a week n it seems to be helping a lot with my blemishs and acne marks~!

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:

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:

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:

It leaves skin soft. Works really well for back acne. Smells nice. Exfoliates well.

Cons:

my skin kinda built up a tolerance for it, i believe. I've been using this stuff for over a year now, and I got great results during the first 5 or 6 months. Now, I'm really broken out and the face wash feels really irritating on my skin. :(

This is great stuff, for a while.
