Pros:

it seems to work for other people...
the moisturizer is nice, but its also the only one that I've ever used thats only for the face

Cons:

the foaming cleanser's bottle does not spring up anymore
the cap doesn't stay on properly
doesn't really work

it doesn't really help clear my acne after this i've tried neutrogena and it was ok, but later i went to the dermatologist and he really helped me now i just have some marks and i'm using vichy normaderm, don't know if its good yet cuz i us got it today, but the reviews are good and even the person at the store recommended it

Pros:

Very economical since it takes very little to make a good lather. Made my skin less red and nice and smooth. Cleared up breakouts somewhat, not completely gone

Cons:

Caused dryness and flaking around nose which required the use of a separate moisturizer

I have had adult acne (54 yrs old) for about 8 years. Used b/p products before but always had to stop and let skin recover from excess dryness and mild rash every little bit. I use this twice a day.Aveeno works best for me when followed by a salicylic acid moisturizer. The best moisturizer for me is L'Oreal Tone step 3, but my local stores have stopped carrying it, so I have been using Clean and Clear which doesn't work nearly as well. The best thing about Aveeno is the reduction of redness

Pros:

The smell, it makes my skin soft and looks clear and clean. Keeps acne at bay. Follow up with a moisturizer or the astringent that goes with this works awesome! Maybe some spot treatments of BP for ppl with moderate/severe acne.

Cons:

Pump breaks

Love it!

Pros:

Lovely smell
Pump
Foam
Cheap (in US)
Cute bottle with lid

Cons:

Cystic acne all over face
Soy protein reaction (cysts)

I loved this cleanser at first. However, after about a week I started breaking out really bad with cystic acne. I belive it was from soy-protein that it contains. I returned it.

Pros:

-Light
-Clean and Refreshing Smell
-Absorbs into skin well
-Helped Reduce redness

Cons:

-Pricey (but worth it!)

It has helped the discolouration in my skin, making it look healthier and clearer. Its expensive here, but its DEFINITELY WORTH saving up for! People keep on complimenting me on my clear skin. :)

Pros:

Keeps my acne under control and is both affordable and easily accessible.

Cons:

The only thing that might be a negative is I use a lot of pumps to make sure I have enough for what I think is an effective cleansing.

I would strongly recommend it, and this comes after years upon years of trying so many different things. I just wrote in post that I've read reviews that it dries out your skin. I personally haven't had that problem, but to be on the safe side I decided to only use this cleanser once a day. My skin gets oiliest when I sleep so I wash my face with it before I go to bed. It's the first over the counter product I've really been happy with.

Pros:

it cleans well. has a nice scent. great for sensitive skin

Cons:

has it made a difference for me? I can't really tell. It's pretty expensive tho

I like that it smells nice. Probably better for people with light acne or people who are using a harsh topical ointment and want a cleanser with salicylic acid. It didn't irritate my skin at all. Tho its a lil expensive, if you want a very gentle acne wash, go for this.

Pros:

Cleans well, not an overwhelming fragrance, you don't need very much of the product because it lathers very well for a foam.

Cons:

Very drying (everything is for me), I don't love the smell

It keeps my breakouts under control.
