Pros:

-Exfoliates
-Doesnâ€™t smell too bad
-Doesnâ€™t irritate skin
-Clears acne pretty well
-â€œcoolâ€™ feeling

Cons:

-If you use too much, dry skin
-Irritates eyes
-must use consistently

I am 16 years old and have had acne ranging from light to severe since I was around 12. This product was one of the few acne treatments available from Stop And Shop. I bought it, and it seemed to work just as much as the other products I've used. It definitely reduced redness and pimple size, and I believe it helps fade scars as well, but I use it with an oil free moisturizer afterward. The combination of the two products leaves my skin soft and pimple free. I can only give this product 4/5 stars, however, due to the fact that it does not completely eliminate acne, and doesn't seem to help blackheads or whiteheads. I use it once a day. Any more, and my skin becomes flaky and irritated. If I forget to wash my skin for a few days, my light/moderate acne returns to its moderately severe state. The bottle also doesn't contain much product, which is a problem, because when it runs out. the acne returns and you must buy more,and its expensive!!!

This Product is amazing. im 18 years old. i've had horrible acne since i was 13. I used everything in the world you can think of. ONE DAY i used this product because i was hoping this was the one. and it was! just put water on your face. put the scrub anyway except your eyes . of course. rub it in . i use my my palm(on my cheeks) wash off. go to sleep. ( or wake up ) my skin is normally oil. but this ance scrub controls it more than any other product without making your skin irritated. TRY IT . ACNE STRESS CONTROL? i agree, pimples and new pimples are no stress for me now. USED THIS PRODUCT MAYBE FOR A WEEK . MY SKIN HAS NEVER BEEN SO CLEAR IN 5 YEARS.

Pros:

-smells refreshing and really good
-clears acne a lot and fast
-calms redness (i have a lot of redness in my cheeks, etc)
-skin feels smooth and soft
-doesn't dry out the skin (my skin dries out easily to other products)
-good for sensitive skin (I have sensitive skin)

Cons:

nothing!

Okay, I didn't buy the actual Neutrogenia one. I bought the generic CVS version because it was cheaper and on sale. It was something I just wanted to try out but not spend too much money on. I got it for $4! The Neutrogenia ones are usually around $6-8. Anyway, this product is AMAZING. After a few days, my acne started clearing up! I have pretty bad acne on my cheek and now, they're almost all gone! Still a bit visible, but still A LOT clearer than before. I love this stuff! I'll be repurchasing this product for sure! I use this scrub every day, day and night with my Humphrey's Lavender Witch Hazel toner and this random korean moisturizer. If you want a good moisturizer, I suggest Clean N Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. Give the scrub a try, you'll be amazed!!

Pros:

drys skin
smells good
gets rid of most acne(I think?)

Cons:

beads are annoying
must use for more than a couple weeks
need to use along with over counter medicine

I am also using epiduo(benzoyl peroxide) so I dont know if its helping everything. But, I've been using it for over a month and works pretty well. I have to use it in large amounts and about 3 times a day though.

Pros:

-TOTALLY GOT RID OF MY ACNE
-refreshes

Cons:

-stings sometimes
-too mild, doesn't exfoliate my skin that well.

at first when i got this, i thought it was garbage and it didn't work. but one day, i got the idea to LEAVE IT ON MY FACE FOR A COUPLE MINUTES after i scrub my face with it. best idea ever! i guess when you leave it on your face, it really gets into your pores or something, i don't know. but it did wonders for me. now i use it every morning and night. i went from having horrible cystic acne to having the occasional pimple every few weeks.

Pros:

Clears acne
Skin is instantly softer and smoother
"Clean" feeling, but not drying
Energizing scent
Prevents acne

Cons:

The exfoliating beads don't all always wash off easily (I find them caught in my hair line, etc. sometimes), but that happens to me with any exfoliating beads.

This is my current favorite cleanser/exfolient. I've used it for about 6 months now, and it's done simply amazing things for my skin. I decided to give this cleanser a while to start clearing my acne, because INSTANTLY it made my skin feel really soft and smooth (more so than anything I've used before). I did have initial breakouts that cleared within a month. It's still working for me, so I'll keep using it! Another plus is that it doesn't have sulfates, which tend to break me out terribly. I'm a product junky, but this is a staple for me, and will be unless it stops working, but so far it hasn't. I highly recommend it.

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.
