Pros:

Smells nice
Foam(:
Natural
Has a pump
Not messy
Didnt break me out
Left my skin feeling clean
Affordable

Cons:

Didnt do anything for my acne(:

This cleanser is a great bargain, but unfortunatly did nothing for my acne! I think if you want reasults from this product, you have to use the whole line from Aveeno (wich, i didnt), wich maybe thats the reason it was not effective, but it was a nice cleanser over all! Plus it;s natural, with no parabins! And it was a foam wich is always an added bonas! Mambye it would be good for preventing acne, but getting rid of it , im not so sure....

Pros:

-Smells great
-Fun to use
-Makes skin feel soft
-Perfect clean feeling
-Clears away oil, dirt, and makeup
-Great for sensitive skin
-Good base for other products
-Keeps acne under control

Cons:

-Doesn't clear acne (like it's supposed to)

I love this cleanser! I have been using it for years, and I only use this. It is a great mild cleanser and I absolutly love it. I've read that cleansers with powerful anti-acne fighters are pretty much useless because you end up rinsing them off anyway and the ingredients don't have time to penetrate. That's why I said it's a great "base" for me. It doesn't clear my skin, but it cleans it and works great. Also, like ANY other cleanser you must use a moisterizer. I use the clear complexion one, but any oil-free one will work. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

Pros:

smells good
works great
easy to use

Cons:

have to use atleast 2 or 3 pumps

in the beginning of my freshman year I had developed really bad white heads and blackheads and had gotten the occasional pimple or two on my cheeks and chin, and I had searched all over for a good product that worked but everything I got did nothing, and at the end of my freshman year I had found this. I am now in my junior year and haven't really had any problems with them anymore. My whiteheads cleared up almost completely and I have way fewer blackheads. I really love this stuff.

Pros:

Clears up really fast and feels really good. It leaves my skin soft and silky!

Cons:

None!

I woke up a few weeks ago to find had about 3 pimples all red and painful. As I studied them I noticed my nose was covered in white heads! About a week later I found time to visit the drug store and I got Aveeno facial cleanser I used it and with in days the pimples and whiteheads were gone, leaving my face soft!

Pros:

I switched back & fourth between this product & proactiv. It's so much cheaper & so much better. I can't live without it. Clears up skin & it really does prevent breakouts.

Cons:

None :)

It works!

Pros:

it is a good moisturizer, and i really like that it doesnt have a fragrence, if i t does that would probably make your face or where else you put it irratable.

Cons:

on the back of the bottle it doesnt say how long to keep it on. and it doesnt get rid of acne quick.

i also agree with one of the comments it is easy to get off of out of the shower. i really like how its foam. and. alot of people only get proactive because its so called the " 19, to 20 dollars including tax, aveeno is only about 8 dollars and it actually works. more expensive brand" but on the other hand your wasting your money on something that doesnt even work. proacitve is about it clogs your pores and it increses acne. that is why i enjoy and will keep buying aveeeno foam moisturizer.

Pros:

Evens out skin tone dramaticly (note: Little brown spots and post acne marks) . Affordable compared to Murad and such. If you have light acne its worth the 11 bucks.

Cons:

DRYING. but only on my nose so i avoid that and wash everything else. ( honestly all cleansers to that to me)

Its worth it! my favorite cleanser. you have to figure out how to use it with your skin . Cleared up all my acne except some of the cysts but i have clear glowing skin now. PS USE LOTS OF AVEENO LOTION! and i use vasline on my super dry spots

Pros:

Light.Non irritating.Natural.Smells Good.

Cons:

Leaves Skin Alittle Dry.

If your looking for a gentle cleanser with a low percentage of salicylic acid (0.5) This is recommended.The soy extracts leave skin soft.Face will be dry due to the salicylic acid but you can manage that will a light, non pore clogging moisturizer.Just Try it.Everyone is Different.

Pros:

Soft, convinient and kinda help with acnes.

Cons:

Does not provide CLEAN feeling.
Personally, I like clean and crispy feeling after washing my face.

I have been using this product for several months now. although it did not make my face dry or make my acne worse, it sure did not have any effects on me. it is just a cleanser to me. not special at all...
