Pros:

moisturizes pretty well
smells great
good texture, makes skin feel smooth

Cons:

seems like it only works during the summer in warm weather, when I used it in the winter, my skin was still dry and I had more breakouts

good moisturizer, doesn't clear up acne

Pros:

does lighten skin complexion

Cons:

caused more breakouts and very itchy on some parts of face.

I have used this for almost 2 months now and my skin went from ok to bad. I never used to get whiteheads and blackheads before using this moisturizer. When I used it the first week, i had numerous whiteheads on my cheeks - about 20 on each cheek. I thought my skin was just getting used to the moisturizer. Weeks passed and my whiteheads turned into bigger and painful papules.

Pros:

Non greasy

Cons:

Breakouts

I use the Proactiv system... which drys skin out. I would use this, sparingly, around my mouth to help with the dryness. Well for months, around my mouth and on my chin I would always get nasty little pimples. I NEVER put two and two together and realized it was from the this lotion! Once I stopped using this, no more pimples. I was dumb for not realizing earlier but I didn't think an Aveeno product was making me breakout. It just had adverse effects on me and I would def not reccomend if you have acne-prone skin...

Pros:

I got it on sale.

Cons:

Greasy face, huge breakouts.

This, along with the clear complexion foaming face wash by aveeno, made my almost clear skin a huge disaster.

Pros:

-Feels light

Cons:

-Personally, I think it smells funky.
-Doesn't moisturize enough for me!
-Didn't really help my skin tone or acne

It was okay, but nothing special!

Pros:

not harsh on skin
easy pump system
nice scent

Cons:

didn't help acne!!
left skin super shiny!

i have oily skin and after using this, it left my skin really shiny! it also didn't help my acne at all! for oily skin, i reccomend the "patricia wexler acnostat cleansor" available at Bath & Body Works... it is $16. if you use it 2 times a day, it is worth the price!

Pros:

I use the standard size one that's just for general use for my face. Much cheaper and I'm pretty certain it is more or less the same thing.

Cons:

It's just a moisturizer (shocking, I know).

I like it. It smells nice and softens my skin majorly.

Pros:

Only takes a small amount to cover entire face.

Cons:

The smell lasts for hours, it reeks! Will leave face feeling very oily/greasy.

I have bad, adult acne. Proactiv USED to work great, but quit working so I tried this AVEENO line which if anything seems to be causing more, painful zits. I do not recommend, waste of money.

Pros:

Smells nice. Moisturized really well.

Cons:

Didn't do a thing for my skin.

It didn't work to clear up my skin, but it did moisturize it very well. My skin wasn't greasy after the application, nor was it shinny. Guess I got lucky, haha. This may work for someone who has maybe one or two blemishes, but not someone who has a more severe case.
