Pros:

-worked for a while
-cleared pimples

Cons:

After a while of using it, it stopped working and instead of clearing my acne, it simply replaced them. Like, I would have a pimple by my hair line and after i used the scrub, that pimple would go away but i would get another one somewhere else.

It's alright if you're looking for temporary relief. But, it still worked pretty good(:

Pros:

Clears skin, smells great, exfoliates, cools

Cons:

Stings if you get it near your eyes

I love this scrub! It's not very abrasive, but I was using st. ives before, which is way TOO abrasive. Anyway, it's the only thing besides proactiv that my skin has ever even reacted to (positively, I mean.) I've really noticed my skin clearing up, and it's only been a couple weeks. The consistency is weird, kinda fake and waxy, but not exactly bad. You can't just whack it on your face, though. You have to rub it between your palms and then rub it on your face. The little beads get everywherre, so I only use it in the shower, where I can rinse them off. I guess it's kinda expensive, considering the amount of product you get, but if you only use it a couple times a week, it should last a while. It smells AMAZING, like mint and watermelon. It also has a little menthol in it, so if you don't like menthol, skip this. But I really love it. Buy it! It actually works!

Pros:

Reduces enlarged pores, clears moderate acne quickly, very inexpensive.

Cons:

Dried my face out if I used it morning and night so I reduced to morning usage only. Recommend using a moisturizer.

This is a good product to try. I use it in the morning in combination with a light hypoallergenic moisturizer and at night I only wash with a moisture rich bar soap and use a 2.5% benzoyl peroxide leave on cream. With this regime it's been over a year since I've had severe breakouts and my face stays surprisingly hydrated. If you do use this product in combination with a moisturizer I would recommend you also try the benzoyl peroxide with it, it really did work wonders for me. (just not the 10% because you will have extreme dryness)

Pros:

Makes skin feel fresh / clean, does help clear the acne most of the times if use is consistent / constant, decreases the look of acne scars, did not leave skin dry.

Cons:

Made my face itchy for a while, gave me outbreak the first time using it, it feels a little stingy the first time I applied it. The itchiness and the stingy feeling went away eventually. A little over priced.

It was a decent product, and I probably wouldn't recommend it to people with heavy acne. Another thing I used immediately after this product was the Biore Pore Minimizing Exfoliator, so perhaps the second product prevented me from having dry skin (to counter the first product that may dry skin). The first product did help with acne prevention. My skin was somewhat dry when I didn't use the exfoliator and just the scrub by itself.

Pros:

Clears acne and dead skin without irritating my skin.

Cons:

Hard to wash off, I sometimes fine little grainy peices on my skin after I use it.

This scrub is one of the only scrubs that hydrates my skin, clears acne and dead skin off of my face without irritating or burning my sensitive skin.

Pros:

- Makes your skin feel clean

Cons:

- Doesn't do much for acne
- There isn't enough "exfoliating" action

It's good for a day-to-day "exfoliator", but don't expect it to work wonders on your skin. I'm quite disappointed with the results... My skin doesn't respond to ANY Biore products for that matter. I've seen and tried better products.

Gets the job done, but that's about all.

Pros:

Light exfoliation

Cons:

Not to many benefits

I found it was good for some light exfoliation.. but beyond that.. nothing much. I don't believe it helps much with any breakouts you might get.. but it could help very mild breakouts with some skin types.
