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:

Pros:

smells good, got rid of few pimples

Cons:

made me breakout very bad, harsh, dries out skin

I will never buy this product ever again. It's the worst thing I ever bought. I don't reccomend it to anyone. It made me breakout, it's very irritating to the skin (don't buy this if your skin is sensitive like mine) and it dried out my skin.

Pros:

does not sting
does not dry out face
makes face feel fresh
exfoliates well
makes skin feel soft
you don't need to use a moisturizer with this product
clears acne
clears blackheads
prevents acne as well

Cons:

-takes a few weeks to start working
- have to use it daily or acne will get worse

I loved this product and am still using it. it got rid of all my acne. and also prevents acne. i would highly recommend this product as it works great. i followed the same thing as another reviewer posted below i use Clearasil ultra deep pore cleansing pads in the morning, with the Clearasil spot treatment. and i use this scrub at night with the spot treatment, LOVE IT! and definitely saw results after a few weeks.

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 feel refreshed

Cons:

-didn't clear acne
-didn't prevent redness or acne
-made me breakout

my acne is light, and i only get a few pimples on my face. i had high hopes for this product since it made my skin feel so good after the first use. i used it twice a day all over my face. i woke up the next day with five more zits which was extremely unusual for me, and with the same zits still there, same size and same redness. i kept using the product, and the acne didn't go away. i finally tried popping one of the zits and using the face wash afterwards, and the zit slightly improved the next day, but still wouldn't go away. i stopped using this product after a while and switched to using no product, and the majority of the acne got better after i stopped using it. this product is definitely not for me.

Pros:

-Cleared acne
-Smelled good
-Didn't take long to start working
-Super easy to use

Cons:

-You HAVE to keep up with it.

I used this scrub once a day- when I showered- and it started working so quickly! I started using it twice a day and it worked really well, but sometimes I forgot. I started using the face pads in the morning and the scrub at night. My acne was completely gone in a month!

Pros:

Micro Beads feel cool

Cons:

-Was ineffective
-Acne appeared in places that it was NOT originally in
-Left pores feeling clogged

This scrub is a waste of money and time. I'm a teen who has tried many acne treatments, none of which have worked, including this one. I'm desperate for anything to clear up my skin. Most of my acne is in the corners of my nose, upper cheeks, and chin.

Pros:

Cleared all pimples and blackheads on my face, left face feeling smooth and refreshed.

Cons:

Hmmm, personally didn't have any problems at all with this product, perfect for my skin. I have fairly dry skin, and this product is fantastic used with witch hazel and a nice moisturiser.

Fantastic product!
