Pros:

Completely cleared my skin, doesn't burn, very gentle

Cons:

Completely dried out my skin until I bought the aveeno clear complexion moisturizer($13.50) @ Target, my skin feels so soft now

I had acne since I was 14, I am 21 now and acne free :)

Pros:

Helped calm down redness and overall size of acne, kept it smooth

Cons:

Dries out skin, had to use a moisturizer with it
Had an allergic reaction to the product after a week, rash bumps

I have combination skin, and the product did work well at reducing redness and size of acne, but it never completely got rid of it, even after a month. Also, it claims to be "hypoallergenic", yet I still managed to get a rash from something in the product. Bottom line is, it's not really worth buying. It doesn't get rid of acne, and it may have allergens in it.

Pros:

Foaming,Light,Smells fine, Cleans well

Cons:

Dries out skin, but I have Aveeno Lotion for that.

I was under the impresion that it helped even skin tone... color wise. In that respect... It works very well with daily use

Pros:

Noncomedogenic, hypoallergenic, oil-free, soap-free, smells nice, easy to apply and wash off, affordable

Cons:

Didn't really see a huge improvement on my skin, slightly drying

This is a nice foaming cleanser, and even though it didn't do much for my existing acne it did make my face less oily. I like using it when I'm in the shower because it's super easy to wash off. I'm going to continue using it for the time being.

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:

gentle enough to use daily, leaves skin feeling clean

Cons:

doesn't do much for acne

this stuff is great if you have clear skin to begin with. i took it to maintain my complexion after i cleared up from a particularly bad breakout several years ago. once i started breaking out again the cleanser proved totally useless. i think .5% salicylic acid isn't enough to combat existing acne, or exfoliate enough to prevent further breakouts.

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.

Pros:

I like this product because i have seen a tremendous difference in my complexion. My acne is also clearing up.

Cons:

None really

The foaming cleanser works really great with the velocity mosturizer(a marykay product). I wash my face 2 to 3 times a day and I can see the difference in my complexion. My skin tone is also more even.
