Pros:

It has exfoliating beads which make skin soft
Very affordable

Cons:

Made my acne MUCH worse - not effective!

I tried to add this to my skin care routine because I have recently moved and my skin has gotten worse since moving! I thought that the beads would help with my more severe acne but it has only made it worse!!! I have never had this bad acne, little clusters of BIG pimples and zits have broken out on my cheeks where I usually don't get any spots at all. Also there are some smaller red bumps that I've never gotten before. May work for oily skin with VERY mild acne but otherwise, no!

Pros:

makes my skin feel really clean + nice + tight for the next few hours after using it.

Cons:

in the first week of using this product, my acne became the worst it's EVER been. it doesn't smell too nice, but it's not completely bad either.

i never used it twice a day lol thats just ccrraazzyy. once every day is enough. in the first week of using this product, my acne became the worst it's EVER been. and thats HUGE. i swear im not lying, i had about 20 little-medium pimples scattered round my face with about 5 HUUUGGEE massive disgusting ones that looked like cysts. but for some reason, i kept with it, and now it's been about a week and a half and its calmed down a bit. it SEEMS like its starting to actually work but im not completely sure. oh, and i have extremely sensitive skin so, yeah... this probably would've worked for people with lighter acne and not so sensitive skin. recommended: maybe.

Pros:

i love the smell, very good packaging, works for a few days

Cons:

strips your skin of oil which makes your skin make more oil which makes you break out, agrevates pimples

you really need to try it out and see what it does for you. i used it with the gel wash and for the first few days of using morning and night it seemed to be clearing up but then nothing changed and then it got worse. you really need to try it out yourself and see what it does for you

Pros:

It really cleans out my pores, I can see improvement in my skin texture. Helps reduce the oil.

Cons:

It dries out your skin, but for me only dries out the skin on my nose.

I use Dickinson Toner, after using this product, it works extremely well, and I can see improvement in my skin with every use. I recommended that you use a facial moisturizer, or a toner. I use Dickinson Toner, but when I go outside I spread on some 15 SPF sunscreen, because my facial skin is sensitive to direct sun contact.

Pros:

It starts working the moment you put it on. Effectiveness grows the more one uses it.

Cons:

May dry skin a little.

It does work...It does not irritate skin just apply your favorite facial cream to calm your skin after use; Make sure the cream has appropriate SPF for your skin. One must always wear sunscreen even if it is not too sunny. Many people have different opinions but one must always remember that everyone is different and one will not know the reaction to this product unless one tries it.

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:

for the FIRST couple times it worked fine.

Cons:

your skin gets used to it...so it stops working.

works great at first, but if you use it everyday for 2 weeks, it doesnt work anymore..at that time it just makes you break out
