Pros:

natural soy complex
light creamy feeling
get's rid of discoloration (hyper-pigmentation)
salicylic acid treatment
affordable
easy to apply

Cons:

can ball up if used with any topical medications
has a fragrance (that is pleasant to some!)

I love this moisturizer - I'm big on facial products (have tried them all!) and by far I swear by Aveeno's products. I use this moisturizer along with Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 - and together the two (along with Benzaclin and Retin A) have cleared my face completely. I had moderate/sever acne (now I have very light) and my dermatologist recommended that I try these both out and I would recommend them to anyone suffering from acne ( I've experienced the embarrassment, the frustration, anger and sadness it has caused and I would only recommend and share the best!) If you can get it on Amazon or another more affordable website - get it there. I live in Manhattan and it is about $20 where as Target, Walmart, and other stores have it for around $14.

Pros:

Good Basic Moisturizer

Cons:

None so fare

Key to this moisturizer or any moisturizer is simply less is better ! I mix this with Aloe Vera Gel ( Fruit of the earth) small amound to help offset any potential issues and my skin glo's and it's clear. I have Very Very Oily skin and this works much better than my PTR for 42 dollars that sits on my face ... Less is better and don't smother it on it;s not an acne treatment its a moisturizer for dry spots.

Pros:

Doesn't clog pores
It's a good complement to the regimen(think about it, two of the best acne fighters working together?). It gives it a little extra umph.

Cons:

Tiny bottle
Pricy

This will terribly dry your skin!!! Especially in winter. Don't abandon your acne.org moisturizer or whatever default moisturizer you had for this one. Let me explain how I use it. Pay attention, because this could be your key to clear skin: I do the Regimen twice a day like always, but if I just had a breakout or I feel like one's coming, I use this right AFTER the BP application (I'll also do it occasionally to help fight the war on old brown spots and scarring). HOWEVER, despite this stuff being a moisturizer, it will tear your skin up somethin' fierce! Use your regular amount of moisturizer, but send in the troops on what would be extremely dry, cracking skin. By this I mean, grab jojoba oil and AHA+ for it. You will need it!! I guess you could say this is my unofficial 4th step to the regimen. SHHH! Don't tell Dan!

Pros:

It's cheap.
Works instantly!
Not oily/greasy.
Smells good!!!

Cons:

Nothing

I've been really hesitant on using this product, because let's be honest here, I never use any drug store brands before on my face.... but since I was running low on my make up forever moisturizer.... and well short on cash as that matter, I decided to try this out... and I LOVE IT!!! seriously, to me it works better then the name brand products, and it's so cheap too! which is perfect for me. I've only used it this for a week.. but let me just tell you.. on the first night i've used this, I could already see my skin being brighter and clear. It's been a week now, and I can see some of my acne scars go away! for anyone whose undecided on buying this product, I suggest you get this now! it works so good, and it's so cheap!!!

Pros:

- drastic changes in redness and pimple size within 3 days
- light and your skin feels soft :)
- salicylic acid included to help :)

Cons:

- nothing so far! :D

I recently purchased this moisturizer after using the Burt's Bee's Day Moisturizer with Royal Jelly because there was none in stock and I really can't live a day without moisturizer so I chose this. I realized that my skin can only use products that are light, gentle and without any harsh products included. At the back of the bottle, it states, 'Aveeno Active Naturals formulas contain skin conditioning or dry skin soothing agents that are sourced from nature.' Therefore, I decided to try it since I have been breaking out a bit lately. In the past, I have used the cleanser but it didn't go out so well. I have to admit, I was hesitant to try it; however, my sister has used it before and said it was great so I took her word for it. When I got home, that night I used it, you could feel your face where your acne is tightening. For me, that's a sign that's it's working. The next morning, I woke up and number one, my face redness has decreased and number two, my face isn't as oily compared to the other moisturizers I have used. By today, day three, the redness has gone by 95%! I am so pleased with this product and will probably never change :) *Drink plenty of water too :) I recently started to avoid eating chocolate (even though it may be a myth; however, it contains milk which causes breakouts), fried foods (no matter how delicious it looked), chips, candy, and the most important would be dairy products. They are known to be the cause of most breakouts. :) *I also use tea tree oil every morning and night. It helps a lot too cause you can feel it working into your skin, try considering it, you won't regret it unless you're allergic to any ingredients of course :) Hope that helps for you all and I wish the best of luck for all of you maintaining your precious skin :) Remember, if it doesn't help, keep trying until you find the one that's for YOU! :D Most importantly, everyone is beautiful, inside and out no matter what you think :)

Pros:

-makes my skin smooth&soft
-makes my skin glow
-evens out skin tone
-doesn't feel greasy or oily
-moisturizes well when using drying acne products.
-gets rid of most breakouts, doesn't cause any new ones.

Cons:

Expensive :/ that's the only con.

Bottom line is this is the ONLY moistuizer i have ever tried that does all those things for my skin. Most make my skin oily, and breakout or don't moisturize enough. This actually makes my skin look and feel amazing, and for a little while i have been trying to use cheaper products, but my skin will not have it. They have all irritated my skin and broke me out. So yes, i recommend this. The price is WELL worth it for me i love it and my skin won't have any other.

Pros:

It has actually helped lessen my amount of blemishes. It made my skin itch the first few days, but I think this is the only product that has showed results. It's gentle, smells nice. I recommend it to anyone.

Cons:

Doesn't include SPF. :/

FANTASTIC!
