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:

Made my skin visibly smoother
Minimized pore size
Made my face glow

Cons:

A little drying (nothing moisturizer can't fix)
Still have areas of acne
I think you have to continue this product more than a week to see results, acne wise.

I also used this with St. Ives green tea scrub about three times a week, the combination of this two products were the only thing that has actually minimized the size of my pores greatly.

Pros:

smells nice
pump
foams

Cons:

does not clear acne completely

Foaming cleansers are my favorite because I feel like I am getting a deep down clean that washes away all grime on my face. Aveeno's foaming cleanser goes on gentle and lathers quite nice. I use one to two pumps for my whole face and neck area. I always remember to get the neck area because it's as equally important as the rest of my face. Neglecting that area can cause breakouts along the jawline and on neck. This can be very unattractive for girls if you wear your hair up often. Foaming cleansers are the best at lathering everywhere for a deep down clean. I don't think I could live without this cleanser in my regimen.

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:

-Gentle
-Easy to use & wash off
-Great smell
-Decreased acne, zits, bumps, etc.
-Unclogs pores
-Really foamy/lathery
-Coolbottle! (the color mathes my body wash lol)
-Make skin soft and silky smooth

Cons:

-First use made my skin tight, red, and irritated

I love this product! It's great, but I do have to say that your first use can be a bit tricky and doubtful. Don't give up on it though. I have been using this for about 2 weeks now and my skin is starting to clear up and I have no more awkward discolorations.

Pros:

Nice, light smell.
Light foam, easy to pump.

Cons:

Had a major allergic reaction within days...literally have a moderate chemical burn on my face. Red, dry, itchy, and very painful!! I'm pretty upset. I start collee in a week and I look awfu!!

Be careful!! Even though it is for "sensitive" skin...sometimes it can make you look and feel worse than before!

Pros:

-Great clean feeling afterwards, felt amazing.
-Easy to use
-The foam feels great- light and clean, not greasy or oily or thick
-Leaves my face glowing
-Great for cleaning before applying makeup
-Leaves skin soft and clean without over drying- good for winter especially
-Cute little bottle
-Keeps my acne (which is light to moderate, it varies) under control

Cons:

-Doesn't really work well for cleaning makeup residue off, but that's not what it's for so it's ok
-Doesn't get your skin to be completely clear and flawless- it mostly just prevents more acne from sprouting up and clears away the dirt and bacteria from existing acne

Great product!! I was using Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit face wash before and it pretty much didn't do me any good. I have combination skin (oily on my lower forehead, nose and tops of cheeks; overdry everywhere else) and Aveeno's wash really balanced that out. I love the feeling I get after using it- so clean and awake! It's not perfect, but it works really well.

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.
