I used to use St. Ives Apricot Scrub- I love the smell, but I found that the beads were too harsh on my skin. It was like rubbing sand on my face. However, it did a good job at exfoliating my skin. I also used Proactiv for a long time until it stopped working for me, like my acne became immune to it or something because it was no longer effective. I have bad acne on my back and somewhat on my face and I wanted to find something that would heal my face. For the last couple of months now, i have been using Be Fine Food Skin Care exfoliating cleanser and their firming toner. my face has cleared up a lot and my back is improving, still get acne, but is disappearing on my shoulders. the exfoliating cleanser has brown sugar so it is not so irritating because the sugar melts when i scrub and lathers well. It makes my skin feel and look clean. the toner says on the box that the ginger prevents free radical damage, increase circulation and 'kick starts new cell growth'. I have been putting the toner on my face, chest and back. anyway, i found it at cvs and haven't heard much about it. I find that it works for me.
