Pros:

i have used it for a week and so far i love it. no zits, face looks smooth and clean.

Cons:

fragrance. i'd like my facial products to be fragrance free.

i had a major breakout when i stopped my oral contraceptives, and it was very hard to control and i kept having ups and downs. i got it under control with a benozy peroxide wash and i thought that was too harsh for maintaince purposes, so i switched to this and it has been great!

Iffy
The scrub has helped some of my acne. I made my skin soft because of the exfoliating beads (which sluff off dead skin). But every time a pimple goes away, another one come back! It's annoying. I don't know if its working or not, because pimples are going, and new ones come back.

Pros:

-exfoliation beads
-price
-availablilty
-scent
-great for oily skin

Cons:

-tends to dry out skin due to the ingredients (not intended for sensitive skin)

I was having bad acne left and right especially now that I have bangs! It was so unattractive. This is a must!!! I needed something fast and the fact that my facial skin is oily too this was a great plus. I love the exfoliating beads and it made my skin feel really clean afterwards. I use a benzol peroxide cream from target's brand with this scrub so it helps out alot as well. Never dried out my skin though! but this is something that you have to use continously to see results.

Pros:

- Keeps skin under control
- Skin feels fresh, clean, smooth
- Good for imflammatory acne

Cons:

- Not going to clear up severe acne

The exfoliant particles are spherical which massively helps reduce inflammation. A lot of face scrubs use staggered shards of random things that actually tear your skin up even worse I think as a daily facial cleanser for someone with acne this stuff is the business. Once I started using it I kept buying it again and again. It isn't a miracle cure but it does help reduce redness and generally calms your skin. The whole range is great, I use the one for sensitive skin now which is just as good.

Pros:

+ the packaging
+ the beads are not harsh, they are rather gentle
+ refreshing scent
+ makes skin soft and velvety
+ exfoliates amazingly

Cons:

- can cause irritations/dry patches if used too frequently
- not suitable for sensitive skin (or use a very light hand)
- cause a major breakout (!)

I like it! After using it for two week but only when i feel like i need to exfoliate (every 2-4 days), i can tell my skin is much softer. But unfortunately it has caused quite a massive breakout on my chin and my cheeks... I would still give this a go since it is a great scrub!

Pros:

makes your skin VERY VERY soft

Cons:

does not treat or prevent acne

as a normal cleanser, this does a great job and makes your skin feel very soft. for treating acne, however, it will not clear it ...at ALL!!

Pros:

It DID clear up my skin in 3 days, but it's an exfoliate one so you can't JUST USE THIS ONE or it will make you break out more. I guess the unsatisfied customers didn't know that.

Cons:

Made me a little dry on the nose but I used a moisturizing lotion and it took care of it. Also, like with EVERY exfoliating scrub out there, too much can make you break out more and irritate your skin.

It works great, just use the acne clearing scrub for about a week or week and a half, then go get the clearasil ultra facial soap and switch to that and ONLY USE THE CLEARING SCRUB ONCE A WEEK. I also recommend getting the Clearasil Stay Clear cleansing wipes, I use those at night and my soap in the morning. Aside from small breakouts I get from my period or stress (which are at a whitehead the night they come in or the day after), my skin is clear.

Pros:

After I used it my face felt fresh and very clean. (when paired with a moisturizer) It cleared my acne significantly, if not totally, and and my skin feels really soft.

Cons:

I wouldn't reccomend using it more than once a day,though, because it's very potent and it would probably dry your skin out.

I like this product alot and I would reccomend this for folks with medium acne.
