Pros:

Helped clear my breakouts.
Helped with oil.
Made my pores smaller.

Cons:

Slightly, just a pinch, drying.
Burned like crazy when I first used it.
Pump occasionally gets jammed.

I have used two bottles so far, and I'm planning on buying it again after finishing the other cleansers I bought. It's a really soft, fluffy and fun foam. It's typically easy to get out, minus the occasional pump jams. It was my first ever cleanser (When I was 11, I think) and when I first used it, it burned like fire. I nearly cried from the pain. Hey, hey my skin was young and sensitive when I was in Grade 5. I threw it away when it was about 3/4 done, since I couldn't stand the sting, even though it soothed down as I continued to use it. After I went through so much pain, I didn't notice how clear my skin has gotten (besides my war-zone of a forehead) I love this product, and there's not really another product that I tried that foams like this.

Pros:

Good fresh clean.
No irritation whatsoever.
Soft and gentle, makes for nice even skin.
Does it's job. CLEANSER.

Cons:

This isnt really an "acne treatment".
Its a good cleanser, but if you have spots dont expect this to magically kill them. Youll ned a complete regimen, my firend.

Does not leave skin tight or dry, leaves it soft and even and fresh. Gets out all impurities, takes off makeup. Its basic, no redness or irritation. A good cleanser. But agian, doesnt really get rid of spots, it makes your acutal skin lvoely, but its not a spot treatment. Works well and a reccomend it for anyone looking for a good, gentle and refreshing cleanser. Been using it for a few months and it is a very nice cleanser.(:

Pros:

EVERYTHING <3

Cons:

NONE!

So I got this maybe 3 weeks ago, and WOW. How was I ever using anything else? I love it. I have REALLY oily skin and it's kind of hard to keep my acne under control but this definitely worked. I still have a little bit to go, but my skin already looks amazing <3333333

Pros:

Clears skin, gentle, lasts long, evens skin tone

Cons:

None

I have very sensitive skin that was super red all the way through high school. I started using this instead and it have continued use for around 4 years now. This is the only thing that clears my acne without irritating my skin. BE SURE TO USE A MOISTURIZER. As with any acne face wash (and most regular ones at that), your face will become dry and irritated if you don't. I recommend the Aveeno Clear Complexion one.

Pros:

Gentle on the skin, Smells Nice, Natural, Helps prevent future breakouts, leaves skin soft and smooth.

Cons:

Nothing, I am happy.

I'm not saying you are never going to have another zit, but this product line REALLY helps control acne, for the most part. If your skin is drying, it's because you need to use a moisturizer. I use the clear complextion moisturizer...I REALLY like it, makes my skin feel silky smooth. For the hard stubborn zits, I would recommend their spot treatment! Love it!!! I like that it noticibly helps to even my skin tone a little bit. I also use meladerm whitening cream to help even out my skin that need a little extra work. Also, Remember...no matter what product you use.....you need to exfoliate your skin with a scrub once a week, to get rid of dead skin cells that can clog your pores and cause all hell to break loose. I don't like any other brands because the chemicals are just to harsh! Also give the product time when you first try it. You have to give your skin time to adjust and get use to your new cleanser. If you keep switching your cleanser this can make things worse!

Pros:

Cleared up acne, soft skin, nice lather and smell

Cons:

Slightly drying

I used to have the best skin but about a year ago, my forehead exploded with acne and whiteheads. I spent a year trying to clear it up and pick up Aveeno out of desperation. Within a week, there was a massive improvement. My whiteheads started popping off my skin and the pimples and zits died down and stayed down.

Pros:

Very soft light, natural

Cons:

NOTHING

It is great. I have dark combination skin and I've used everything, nuetrogena, proactiv, yes EVERTTHING. But with this, my skin really made a breakthrough. I'm so glad I used it. Remember when using this product, good things come to those who WAIT.

Pros:

It really evened out my skin tone and made my skin baby soft. It cleared up my mild acne fairly quickly. The Clearn Complexion Correcting Treatment is helping to get rid of the marks my acne has left behind.

Cons:

I have not personally experienced anything bad with this product.

Aveeno's products are much gentler, and I think that really helped because other harsher products only irritated my skin more. I love this product and I feel it gets the job done for me.

Better than most
I've been using it for 5 months now, and up until this last month I was seeing great results, better than anything else I'd tried. However, lately, I've been noticing more breakouts, but I think it is due to diet, stress and lack of sleep more than my cleanser, so if you are eating healthier and sleeping more than I am now, it would probably work better for you!
