Pros:- Non-comedogenic (won't clog pores)
- Makes shaving easy
- 1 can lasts long (I shave once a week)
Cons:- Although it's a good shaving gel to use with acne, it doesn't necessarily make acne any clearer
Bottom Line:Probably better than other shaving gels since it's non-comedogenic. As for shaving in general, it's great!
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Mitch has used this item for about a year.
Price Paid:10.00
Acne severity:moderately severe

Pros:Protects well, doesn't clog razor, leaves skin soft, no unpleasant smell
Cons:Spendy
Bottom Line:They were out of the 'positively smooth' so I got this one. I'd say it works pretty good, too. I didn't nick myself or have razor burn with it, and it cleared out of my razor easily when rinsing it. I went back to the positively smooth once it was back in stock but I'd recommend this one to people too. Especially if they'd rather have a less scented shave gel. Worked great on my delicate face and neck skin.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Mar has used this item for about a month.
Price Paid:3.59

Pros:Doesn't make me break out! :D Smooth skin.
Cons:A little pricier than others, get it while it's on sale.

Almost soothes the skin. I hadn't shaved my face in a couple of weeks and my neck was beginning to get itchy and irritated under the curly nrck hairs. After shaving my neck is smooth and free of bumos...sweet. Pricey, but wortth it.

Have used this product for years. Last batch clearly has a strong fragrance! The information line gave me the news that the product was reformulated in 7/03. Added fragrance is supposed to be non-irritating to skin, but certainly irritates my olfactory. They say that "positively smooth shave gel", another product, is still free of stink.

Great gel. I bought some yesterday and I used it for the first time this morning and I am totally satisfied. No skin irritation whatsoever. Whenever I used other gels my face would get itchy and red after use, but not with Aveeno. It is the best $ 5.30 I have ever spent.
