Pros:

I definitely break out less since I've been using this (once daily), and I've been VERY stressed out lately, which usually triggers breakouts for me. Also smells good (cucumber-y) and leaves skin very soft without being super irritating.

Cons:

My skin is really sensitive so I get a little red from this and it hurts a little. Still, my skin seems to tolerate it pretty well.

I'm 25 and have had moderately bad acne my whole life. I read a good review for this in a magazine so I tried it and it's definitely been working for me better than anything I've probably ever tried. It's also not burning my sensitive skin off, which is also a rarity. It definitely does (for me) what it says--prevents acne before it starts. It also helps clear acne when you have it, naturally. It seems like it only works for some people, but it's cheap enough to give it a try. Even if it doesn't end up clearing your acne, it's a good exfoliator.

Pros:

-Exfoliates
-Doesn’t smell too bad
-Doesn’t irritate skin
-Clears acne pretty well
-“cool’ 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!!!

Pros:

scrubbing beads

Cons:

redness, burning, not much help

worked a little but for the most part left my skin red and still prone to breakouts - was hoping it'd live up to the stress prone breakouts (which i have) but didnt seem to do that

Pros:

Smells good
Helps prevent most breakouts

Cons:

Doesn't do much for current breakouts

I started using this a few months ago, and for the most part I haven't got much acne. However, sometimes I still do break out, and when I do this doesn't help very much.

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.
