Pros:

Smells great, doesn't dry out skin, and makes my skin feel smooth and less oily.

Cons:

Stop working after a while. I think it's better to take a break for 2 days every week.

I like it a lot. I just wish it could work all the time, but pimples come back, so I take a break and use it again in about 2-3 days.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Makes my skin feel weird after I use it, like it has a very thick, greasy lotion on it.

The beads get into my eyes no matter how careful I am.

I reallyyyyy don't like this product, at all.

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:

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:

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:

Has acne fighting ingredients. Helps slough off dry skin.

Cons:

Too harsh for the face and aggravates acne even more.

What I have learned is to stick with a gentle face wash instead of harsh scrubs. After I stopped using scrubs on my face, it started to look alot less irritated and red and actually started getting better. If you are using things like benzoyl peroxide on your face, its better to be as gentle with your face as possible since these other medications can being drying.
