Pros:

Great Smell
Cleared Up Some Acne/Redness
Great Price

Cons:

Still have a few acne, minor.

I think it's a great product, It cleared up some acne that was cause by another face wash. I think it's a great buy, i mean my face isn't flawless, but it cleared up most of it. i noticed results in the first few days (:

Pros:

Helps remove dry skin from old or healing acne lesions. Helps remove dry skin from possible eczema patch on my forehead.

Cons:

Can over-dry. Must use a moisturizer afterward.

I'm not sure that it's helped reduce over-all acne, but I do have a bad habit of falling asleep in my makeup. It has made my skin much softer and smoother. I'm probably exfoliating too often, but I alternate every other day with either Cetaphil (the foaming one, to remove makeup), or Neutrogena salicylic acid wash.

Pros:

works
smells great

Cons:

really brings out the redness if you scrub to hard.
made me break out a little

Don't use this everyday! I found that it worked great using it every other day. I did break out after using it a couple of times and it turns your face red if you scrub to hard

Pros:

- Makes skin soooo soft
- smells yummy

Cons:

- Made me break out when I used it too often (everyday, sometimes twice a day)

I started using it again after a couple months after it totally destroyed my face and made it worse than ever. I use it once every few days, maybe just once a week just to take off some dead skin cells. and after I use aveeno clear complexion foaming cleanser which I love. I use that everyday though. so far so good. Im just tryna make sure I dont over due it!

Pros:

Leaves soft, clean skin
Inexpensive (£4 in the UK but frequently in half price/ BOGOF deals)
Easy to locate
Not tested on animals
Natural ingredients

Cons:

Can cause dryness
Has walnut shell powder so not suitable for severe acne

After a week of using this my skin felt much smoother, after several weeks the redness has gone right down. This is not going to 'cure' acne but it does feel like it helps as the acne that I have is a lot less obvious and the areas of my skin without acne are much smoother now than they were. This is a scrub not a cleanser so it should be used fairly sparingly alongside your own cleanser- I tend to use it on average once a day, but sometimes every other day as it can dry the skin out a bit. Also, do not rub too hard with it as it has walnut shell powder and you do not want to go damaging sensitive skin.

Pros:

Makes skin feel sooo soft after washing off!
Exfoliates
Smells good
Faded acne quite a bit

Cons:

Didn't help get rid of blackheads

This is a great choice for an exfoliating scrub, and you should use it 3-4 times a week. I personally think it helps with pimples and making skin feel soft, but it didn't help with blackheads at all.

Pros:

It removes the dirt, okay...

Cons:

It drys up my skin just a bit, makes my skin look whiter, irritates a bit if you scrub for too long or for a long time

I don't know if there is a major difference in my skin, with blemishes and acne because personally for me it doesn't help in that area. On the other hand i have pretty oily skin, so i like to use this product to reduce a lot of the oil.Its worth a try though!
