Pros:

Doesn't dry out my skin too much, the foam doesn't disappear and feels rather lovely.

Cons:

It doesn't make my blemishes clear up at all - I still have had lots of breakouts. Plus it doesn't remove makeup. I use a blemish-fighting toner from Mary Kay with it and see a ton of makeup come off onto my cotton pad.

It's not my favourite. Since I have to use it in conjunction with an eye-makeup remover, a toner, and tea tree oil to spot-treat, plus a couple applications of moisturizer to even out a bit of the drying, I'd much rather find a product that doesn't take that much work.

Pros:

Leaves my skin feeling and looking soft and clean, and more even-toned than after using a harsher cleanser or scrub. Takes off eye-makeup! Concentration of salicylic acid is only 0.5% so it is unlikely to irritate most people.

Cons:

Packaging: the pump sticks every time. But it does have a plastic cap to cover the pump, so it is very convenient for (non-airline) travel. People who are *extremely* allergic to salicylic acid should not use this.

This foamy cleanser is fun to use, and will take off ALL makeup in just one easy, deep-cleaning, gentle step... so there's no excuse for falling asleep in your make-up anymore, ladies! ;p You will, of course, still need to use a topical treatment like Benzoyl Peroxide as a spot treatment or on trouble areas to get clear skin, but that is true with all cleansers. I have been using this off and on for a year, but started using it consistently over the last few weeks as I am trying to break my addiction to apricot scrubs. I do find that I still feel like I need to use a scrub every few days for some extra exfoliation, but, hey, I'm an addict! My skin is not totally clear, but I had a horrible breakout a couple of weeks ago, and I am finding that it is healing well since I started using this. Worth the $7 to try it if you wear makeup, as even if you don't love it, you will sometimes reach for this at the end of a long night to cleanse your face quickly before falling asleep.

Pros:

Great smell and packaging
Foaming texture

Cons:

Extreme redness
Tight feeling after each wash
Dryness and irritation
No improvement in clearing acne

I used this product half a year ago, when I was suffering from terrible and consistent breakouts. After each wash, my skin felt really tight, red, and sometimes flakey. I was very disappointed with this product.

Pros:

It makes my face feel soft. It smells good

Cons:

It prevents more breakouts, doesn't really do much for the existing ones.

I love Aveeno. I use the foaming cleanser and the spot treatment in the morning. At night, I use the cleansing pads to clean off all of my makeup followed by more spot treatment. I really like this line. In one day, it softened my face from the mess that acnefree left my face in. Mind you, the total cost is including the foaming face wash, the cleansing pads and the spot treatment.
