One thing I forgot to add to my previous review - the thing that makes this item work the best for me is because it uses salicylic acid (the mellow stuff) instead of benzoyl peroxide (the harsh stuff). I don't know if maybe I just got a special brand or if all of Aveeno's Clear Complexion bottles are like this but that definitely makes the difference - benzoyl peroxide is definitely terrible for sensitive skin, which is why I love that Aveeno items are always mild yet effective and dermatologist-approved.

Pros:

Smells nice
Non-comedogenic
Evens out skin tone (to a small extent)

Cons:

Didn't moisturize very well
Tends to ball up instead of soaking in

If you're going to use this product, I recommend adding some jojoba oil to it. I use Clinique Acne Solutions as my face wash and benzoyl treatment and it dries out my face a lot, and this moisturizer just can't handle it on its own. Also it balls up if you use a lot and don't rub it in all the way (which is what you're supposed to do with the regimen anyhow), which is annoying. It also bleached a couple of my pillowcases. So yes, it helped even out my skin a little but when I run out I'm going to switch to a different moisturizer. This was definitely not worth the money I paid for it.

Pros:

I have very read cheeks and this actually blends my whole skin in and my cheeks to a lesser shade of red without make-up.

Cons:

Makes me skin feel tight and dry even though when I touch it it's soft.

Yes, I'll continue to buy it. I only use the bar and not the moisturizer because the bar does the same thing and I only paid $2.97 for it. I also buy the Aveeno Dry Skin bar for the same price to hydrate my skin.

Pros:

this product does even out skin tone and makes skin smooth and lessens redness. my face stays supple the whole day and my oily skin isn't a problem combined with the moisture.

Cons:

it is kind of expensive and it doesn't even cure acne bumps.

if you want less noticeable acne and an even skin tone you should definitely try this.

Pros:

this moisturizer made my skin litterally silky smooth! I use it eveyday and it really does tone, and makes your skin glow, i had people come up to me and were like "woah your skin looks really good, it's looks really soft!"

Cons:

I don't really have any cons, it is natural so it takes a little longer to get rid of acne than it would using an overnight on the spot thing but in the longrun it really works well. IT can be pricey depending on where you buy it.

I have tried MANY moisturizers and this one works the best. You can even use it as a mask, if you want your skin to look really good the next day, put a thick layer on your face before you go to bed and in the morning your skin will look amazing and gorgeous. or you can put a thick layer on your face adn wash it off after 15 mintues. yeah i know your thinking that will make your skin too oily, and greasy, but believe me i use it as a mask almost daily and my skin has never looked greater. actaully the more the better. THE BOTTOM LINE?? USE IT! IT IS BOMBBERRRRR it get's rid of acne and makes it less noticible by toning out your complexion so it isnt red or discolored and makes it radiant! my skin is now FLAWLESS and you take my advice? i almost guarantee you will thank me for reading this.

Pros:

I love the lightness of the product. It is not oily. IT DOES NOT HAVE SPF. It is hard to find a product now without the SPF. I hope they keep making without for those of us that react to SFP products. I

Cons:

I have a hard time finding it in my area.

This is a great product that helps keep my skin clear and radiant. LOVE IT.

Nothing!

I have been using this product for a year now. (Morning/Night) At first I didn't notice any changes, but as I keep using it, I did see improvement on my skin! My blemishes are less noticeable and my skin complexion got better. I will keep using it!

Pros:

Medicated (salicylic acid), smells good, non-greasy and doesnot clog pores

Cons:

very very pricey-but does last long.

This worked well as a night cream which I used in conjunction with a salicylic acid treatment cream and cleanser. It smells good and can actually be used daily. but as it doesnot contain any spf it is best used only at night. for acne skin which needs to be cleaned and treated it can cause dryness that could cause peeling- so a good option is to use a medicated night cream. this is a very good place to start. although frequent use can cause some build-up so need to cleanse face very well before and later in the morning. for very oily skin this moisturiser may not be necesary but is a good option. Would certainly recommend this product but I am presently looking for better ones which are easier on the purse.

Pros:

Makes my skin really smooth, goes on nice, smells pretty good.

Cons:

Not good if you have oily skin. Doesn't really help acne.

Keeps skin moisturized pretty good. Try it if you don't have a problem with oily skin.
