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:

leaves skin soft

Cons:

smells like boy cologne

i've had a hard time finding a good facial scrub that helps with acne. ive sampled other products and this is my favorite..i noticed if i use it for a long while and stop, my acne flairs up terribly. i have oily skin, so this doesnt dry me out as i pair it with stridex facial wipes and im ok. it doesnt help with acne scars at all though.

Pros:

Smells good, affordable

Cons:

drys out skin, doesn't work, causes acne in places it wasn't previously.

I've never had a problem with acne until recently, so I went to the store and bought this. I used it the night I bought it. It smells really good, and the bottle is easy to use obviously. (: After I used it, my skin felt normal and it was severely dried out. :| I applied some moisturizer and it was fine. After several weeks of using this product, I see NO change! Except now I'm getting acne in places I didn't have it before I started using this product. I've heard good things about clearasil, so I was dissappointed. I will not buy from clearasil again.
