I hate this "scrub." It's not even a scrub, the beads are like little pieces of paper floating around a cleanser. So I used it as a cleanser, and at first it dried out my skin, and then made it even oilier, and it made my current acne worse! It even made me develop more annoying pimples in places I never developed them before, and it really ticked me off. I will never try this product again, it is just so useless.

Love this cleanser! I had been using Proactiv for about six months when I started to break out very badly. I have extremely oily skin on my tzone so I decided to pick up the Almay "clarify & cleanse" scrub and I am so glad I did! This cleared up my skin in no time and removed excess oil without over drying. I will continue to use this product daily.

Got this because it was recommended by a friend. She has acne prone skin but I have oily skin & some blackheads & thought I'd try this to see if it would help - but it only made my skin more oily & did nothing about the blackheads. I'm happy it did not break me out but some parts of my face like my cheeks & chin were so dried out. Not a good product.

I used this a couple of years ago, and got results then that I'm just not seeing now. This cleanser makes no difference in my skin, other than smelling nice at first and drying it out afterwards. There are barely any microbeads in this product; how can they call it a scrub? I use the Acne Stress-Control line by Neutrogena now, and it definitely works much better for my skin. I wanted to love this again, but it's just not for me.

For a daily scrub, I wish it had more scrub granules. Plastic tube, stands on its cap. I like the flip top - easy to open. My boyfriend and I have been using this for four or five years. It was called something else when we first started buying it. The price is really good because Olay usually has coupons in the Sunday paper and d/s usually has this 15-25% off. I still get blemishes, but it's quite rare for my bf to get a pimple. He doesn't use anything else, except sunblock if he's out washing the car or we're going to be outdoors for hours. We'll be out of this soon, and I look forward to trying something else that would work better for me.

What to say.. This is the worst thing I've ever used on my face. It made my acne grow MUCH bigger. It went from small, to huge. It's so hard to squeeze the product out also. I do not recommend this.

Mixed feelings about this one. I bought it on a whim when the grocery was out of my usual stuff. Not really exfoliating, but works well to keep my skin clear. It's a gel cleanser that foams nicely in the shower but not so much when I use it at the sink (it's also harder to wash off at the sink). It tends to dry out my skin, so I use it in the shower in the morning with Olay Regenerist cream cleanser in the evening. It also makes my skin scaly-feeling and not at all soft, even though it kept me from breaking out. I didn't feel like it did much for minimizing my pores, but it isn't a bad cleanser overall. In the future, I'll probably stick with my Biore Pore Unclogging Scrub, which makes my skin softer and is easier to wash off at the sink.

I have loads of these kicking around because it came as a bonus with the olay wet cleansing wipes which I love and buy all the time. This cleanser is okay, it has little beads in it and have more of a gel sticky consistency than a traditional exfoliator. It does not foam for me, I just stick it on my face, massage and then rinse off. It is alright, but I wouldn't buy it again. I just use it cause it came as a bonus like I said.

I bought this scrub recently, and although it did its job, I just don't personally like it. I use it once a day in the shower, and it just hasn't done enough for my skin personally. I do like the beads however, and the fact that its gentle enough to use multiple times a day. I think its just bad luck that it doesn't work that well for me, because it does work quite well for my boyfriend.

Probably wouldn't buy it again.

I think I have found the right cleanser/scrub for my skin. I have combination skin with occasional breakouts and this cleanser has done a good job of keeping my skin clear. The exfoliating beads feel similar to ones in St. Ives Apricot Scrub. I really like that it's a cleanser and scrub in one. It leaves my face feeling clean, and the scent is soft and pleasant.
