Prevents acne
Inexpensive

Made my skin look dull
Gives you breakouts
Doesn't clean very well

I've been using this for two or three weeks now. I've been noticing acne near my eyebrows just after 3 uses of it. After I use this, It makes my skin look so dull and it loses it's radiance.

Pros:

Leaves skin very smooth.
Nice consistency.
Good price.

Cons:

Too harsh to use every day(for mae at least!)
Breaks me out if used daily.

I have used this as my regular exfoliator for a few years. Used twice a week it keeps my skin feeling smooth and helps my make up glide on nicely. However if I use it every day (like I did at first) it breaks me out really badly and left my skin very sensitive, so for me a couple of times a week is best.

Pros:

nice texture, nice smell

Cons:

can over dry and a good moisturiser is required even on my very oily skin

since having clearer skin due to use of roaccutane, i have used this product i feel it has over irritated my skin and caused the breakouts on my chin, it leaves an excellent clean feeling but that is not worth the acne.

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:

Smells good :D

Cons:

Will destroy your face

My friend has used this for years, because she's just never bothered to get another facial cleanser. She has the most rediculous blackheads all over her face, which isn't caused by this product; that's just the way her skin is. Her face looks rough and flaky, and it's red almost all the time. If anything, the product hurts more than helps your skin. It's simply way too harsh :'( Tip: try using a basic, but effective cleanser, combined with baking soda. Baking soda is seriously the best exfoliant ever; it's so gentle, yet extremely effective. ;)

Pros:

It smells amazing and is cheap

Cons:

The beads are HUGE and it burns after a while.The breakouts stoped after a few weeks but came back

I used THREE tubes of it and my acne did not improve or got worse PS.This product is cheaper in Trinidad than the US because the conversion rate is $1US to $6TT
