Pros:

Cleansed my skin
Helped clear my acne
Helped prevent new acne from forming

Cons:

Left my skin a bit dry
Didn't remove all my makeup

This is an average cleanser. It didn't cause me to break up, but it helped clear my skin. However it is too harsh to use during the winter time since it dried out my skin.

Pros:

Leaves your skin with a different, beautiful tone, pores seem smaller, smells good, good ingredients for skin.

Cons:

Salicylic Acid in the product does makes skin DRY

I liked the product until i mixed it with BP. I'm not sure this product would work good with the Regimen because the B.Peroxide will make your skin dried out already. But if you really want to try it, get a great moisturizer, i recommend Aveno Ultra-Calming, it takes care of irritated skin like magic and smells amazing.

Pros:

Evens out skin tone, helps clear up acne, nice foamy consistency, smells good, lasts a long time, good on body acne too!

Cons:

can sting if you leave it on for too long, your skin my feel a little tight afterwards, may dry your skin out

The is a good cleanser if you love foaming cleansers and you want you skin tone to be more even-looking. For best results, you should probably use a lightweight moisturizer afterwards. It also works REALLY well to keep body acne away.

Pros:

Clears the bumps && whiteheads off my face and makes my face smooth. Its also easy to apply and rinse off.

Cons:

Makes my face dry after rinsing so i have to put vaseline on it as moisturizer. Althogh it stops my acne from coming back it didn't take away the marks on my face from my old acne.

Its alright if you want to get rid of your acne. But if you have acne marks that you want to get rid off don't purchase because it won't take the marks away.

Pros:

i like the product. it easily exfoliated my skin and i could notice the difference in my skins texture.

Cons:

i notice that with using this product you have to stay consistant. and us a light mosturizer. and a b/p acne spot treatment. i still will break out but not as much.

i always wanted to try the product and im glad that i did. it helps me to stabilize the acne. and after trying so many products i feel its the gentlest with out too much drying, and that has always been hard problem to solve.

Drying, but Ive only used it for a week
First things first, I have only been using Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser for about a week along with BP and tretinoin prescribed by my doctor and a very heavy moisturizer. Here is what I have to say about it so far. PROS: -is very gentle and non-irritating -non comedogenic -overall it is helping me clear my mild acne CONS: -VERY drying -Skin is feeling a slight burn when I wash my face I will update this review after I have been using this cleanser for more than a month so I can be more helpful.

Pros:

Leaves skin soft
Smells nice
Is gentle
Contains Salicylic Acid so fights pimples

Cons:

No real advantage for acne, other than being gentle

I love this, I will continue to use it just because it doesn't make my skin any worse and it is gentle and easy ( zero scrubbing). I am trying to be gentle with my face so this is basically it. I combine it with 2.5% benzyl peroxide for tough spots and neutrogena oil free moisturiser for combination skin as a moisturizer. I also treat with vitamin e oil and manuka honey on occasion when I feel like getting sticky.
