Pros:

works overnight
makes skin soft
doesn't dry out skin
doesn't smell bad

Cons:

you must use it constantly or else breakouts will return

I bought this product a few days ago with breakouts all over my nose starting to combine with the breakouts on my cheeks and forehead. I really needed a product that would work fast before my acne got severe. I saw the commercial for Neutrogena Acne Stress Control Gel and I stress all the time so I thought mabey this would work. The first night I used it I saw no difference mabey it was even worse. The next night almost all of it was gone and my skin looked great! I will defiantly continue to use this!

Pros:

Keeps skin smooth by exfoliating, refreshes skin, keeps skin clear

Cons:

None.

This wash is great! I rely on this stuff. Before I started using it, I couldn't keep my skin exfoliated enough--I use Retin-A and the skin needs to keep shredding otherwise it just makes the breakouts worse, with the dead skin sticking it your face. This stuff does that without irritating my skin (and I have really sensitive skin). My skin feels so soft and actually completely clean after use.

Pros:

started working quickly (less than 1 week)
smells good
reasonable amount for the price

Cons:

maybe a little too pasty

Had this annoying forehead acne that wouldn't go away with any cleaner and night creme, but I saw a significant difference with this product after only a week. It's working so far, hope it stays that way!

Pros:

Love the smell
Doesnt dry skin out
A little exfoliation from the beads

None

Really like this scrub. It doesnt clear all my acne but it helped clear a little. But its a cleanser, cleansers arent going to clear acne by themselves.

Pros:

-clears pimples
-reduces size of the pimple
-smells good
-feels good while using it

Cons:

-so far, none

This product has worked pretty well for me. I've been breaking our pretty bad recently. I had about ten pimples at once and they were really red and painful. I got this product and used it that night in the shower. The next morning, about 8 of those pimples had decreased in size and redness and the pain decreased too! I use this product with Stridex sensitive pads. When I get out of the shower, I let my face dry and use my stridex pads on my forehead. Works great!

Pros:

Soft skin, cooling effect was nice.

Cons:

Messy, and hard to get off of my clothes

Pretty good but my skin got use to it. But acne gets worse on the second week normally cause it's pulling out all the acne from your skin. So if you stay on it longer it might be better. But i didn't.

Pros:

Really nice smelling
Leaves no residue
Leaves skin feeling really fresh
Gentle
Gets rid of Redness

Cons:

I occasionally miss a few beads and find them in my hairline.

I had been experiencing a minor breakout while using Loreal Go 360 clean (the green one) and felt that It just wasn't quite doing enough. I decided to give this scrub a try. My breakout's gone away, and my skin's been looking a lot clearer. It has a really nice fresh scent and leaves my skin very soft. I had very minor redness before using this product, and the tiny bit of redness I did have has gone away. I intend to use this product for quite a while. It's great!

Pros:

This product smells great, and really cleans my skin well. It helps get rid of all the dead skin, because of the microbeads in it, but doesn't clog pores.

Cons:

Difficult for me to find in stores.

I searched long and hard to find a product that worked for my acne. I had mild-moderate, with about 5-10 zits at a time. I use the scrub twice a day, and it has dramatically cleared up the acne, and now I am left with a few pimples here and there, and the red marks left over. Overall, this is a great product. It seems to work for some people more than others, so I would try it...it can't hurt. I love this product!

Pros:

immediately worked for my bad break out
doesn't irritate my sensitive skin
you can see a difference after the first us

Cons:

none!

I bought the cream wash of this and the scrub came in a little bottle for free. So i started using the scrub at night and the cream in the morning. the scrub does NOT irritate my very sensitive and i swear my face began clearing right after i washed my face with it. it's the first product that continues to work for me my friends use it too and it works for them as well!
