Pros:

Works well, quickly, Very cheap compared to other products and it lasts for months.

Cons:

none!!

I would recommended this product to anyone. It worked within a week of first using it! My sister had bad acne and started using this product and it worked wonders as it did for me. I have tried clean and clear, neutrogena etc. and they never worked for me so i was so happy when i found a product that worked! 5/5.

Pros:

works quickly, smells great, tingles, inexpensive

Cons:

doesnt feel like it washes completely clean

im almost 24 years old and i USED to have great skin, even as a teenager i never had a problem with acne...i used to use this stuff years ago and i liked it well enough but since i didnt have any acne i assumed it wasnt any different from any other cleanser and i'm the type of person who always wants to try a new product. well the cetaphil face wash was highly recommended by dermatologists so i started using that stuff..well needless to say i ended up with so many blemishes i couldnt leave the house because even ppl at work were making comments, the cetaphil ruined my face! so i wanted to get rid of them and do it fast so i heard all the celebrities are using murad, so i purchased the acne pack for about $40, well that was alot of money to throw down the drain..the first week i felt like my skin was getting smoother and i had high hopes for this stuff, well i used it for almost 4 weeks i think. and i thought the cetaphil had bad results...they werent even pimples anymore, it was a mix between cystic acne and open wounds, plus the murad made my skin so tight and smelled like sulfur..i was confused and scared, i went and bought the BIORE UNCLOGGING SCRUB AGAIN and its only been i dunno 3 days and my face is amazingly better! i dont care how curious i get im not switching from this product. i use their hard days night moisturizer (day and night lol) and that product feels great too so i recommend it. so now i wash my face with the scrub in the morning and use their astringent before i go to sleep. IM JUST SO IMPRESSED...no need for those expensive ones.

Pros:

Gentle exfoliation while leaving skin feeling clean and refreshed. Clears acne and really helps prevent it.

Cons:

none that I can think of except maybe that it can be just a little bit drying.

I have had pretty bad acne since I was 15. I have tried just about everything from prescriptions like tetracycline and topical acne medication to proactive and murad type things. None of it worked and some made my skin break out soooooo bad that I didn't want to leave the house (Murad). I decided to try this biore stuff, not expecting any results... I was dumbfounded! Within 2 days of using this product my acne had faded so much. My skin feels wonderful and I am even going out of the house without makeup! After using the Murad that had left me with many horrible post acne scars, I am so thankful for this Biore pore unclogging scrub. I use it with the Biore SPF 15 moisture lotion (just because the scrub can be just a little drying) and I take a 'One A Day teen advantage vitamen for her' and now my skin is amazingly clear after only using all three products for 1 month. The scrub worked perfectly on its own but using all three of the products I mentioned my skin just glows( and I have really fair skin so every little imperfection would show up clear as day). hope this helps somebody!

Pros:

Smells great
Gentle on skin
Feels refreshing

Cons:

Doesn't really work for acne

Let's get it straight, the reason people on this website use this product is because they think it will help them with their acne. However, this simply does not work for mine. Biore certainly makes attractive products- they all smell great and feel really refreshing. The problem with this product and moderate to severe acne is that the active ingredient is salicylic acid. Salicylic acid in reality doesn't do a whole lot other than open your pores, making them susceptible for *other* treatments. For many acne-sufferers, this is simply not going to improve their condition. I read one reviewer saying this is "gentle" and doesn't do "stripping". "Stripping", or removing a layer of skin may actually help some acne sufferers. The reason some people get acne is because they have relatively thick skin, which doesn't promote regular cell turnover, thereby clogging their pores. This is exactly what tretinoin does as a prescription medication. In short, this product is just far to mild to be effective. I think it may benefit people with very light acne, but it just didn't do anything for me.

Pros:

My face is mostly clear and ive only been using it for a little over a week. After using it my face feels really clean and fresh and it smells good.Its gives my face a nice scrub but is gentle at the same time.

Cons:

Like every other acne product ive used dries my face a little bit but i fix that by using a moisturizer immediately after.

Ive tried countless products and some of them worked but they made my fave extremely dry and i wasted my time using3 step systems. I but a small sample of this for a dollar and its lasted me over a week and my face is clear and feels very smooth and is mostly clear of blemishes. I think im going to buy a big bottle of this stuff and continue to use it because its been very helpful to me.

Pros:

It is a mild, non-stripping cleanser compared to other acne washes out there.
Doesn't leave my skin feeling tight or dry. Brightens skin, and lessens redness.
Makes skin feel cool and texture is left smoother and softer.
Helps keep balance between oily and dry skin.
Turns into creamy foam, and contains gentle circular exfoliation beads.
Helps soften the look of pores.
Smell is pleasant and almost fruity.
Cheap.

Cons:

Doesn't clear up blackheads(BUT it helps prevent them)
Other than that there was nothing I really disliked about the product haha.

This is good cleanser that is great at brightening the overall skintone and balancing. It doesn't zap your pimples and blackheads, but it gently clears your skin and shrinks pores. Would definitely buy if you have sensitive, oily, acne-prone skin. It actually has slight moisturizing properties to it ^-^. One of the best cleansers I have tried.

Pros:

-smells wonderful like cucumber/watermelon
-really did its work
-non drying
-great for oily skin
-made acne somewhat go away
-clean, minty feeling after wash

Cons:

-waxy feeling

This is an amazing product. I would recommend this to anyone who has fairly light acne or moderate; if you have severe acne, it may not work, so take caution I have tried many products while I had severe acne but when my pimples became mild and less frequent, the cleansers and scrubs I used did not make my acne go away entirely, and I do believe this scrub did its wonders! I am very pleased, and anyone out there who has tiny annoying zits and is looking for a milder scrub, I recommend this product; it is amazing. Also, it is great for oily skin--just use a moisturizer in case it makes you flaky. Bottom line, its a great product! Be patient, and work this with your daily routine--does wonders!

Pros:

I had moderate acne when i first started using this, i have been using it for months now and it has kept my skin clear, except the odd pimple or 2. Notice results really quick also.

Cons:

Smells kinda funky, but not too bad.

It's a great acne busting product. Especially when used with St.Ives Blemish Fighting scrub and Olay moisturiser for sensitive skin. It worked wonders on my acne. Recommended for anyone and everyone, even people with sensitive skin, like me.
