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!

Pros:

Little product is needed in order to work up a good lather
Leaves skin feeling smooth
Removes make-up easily

Cons:

Does not help much with acne
Can be drying

I have been using this product for years, and I really do like it. I prefer using it during the summer months because it is a bit drying, I make sure to always follow up with a moisturizer! It leaves your skin feeling nice and clean, but does little to help acne. If used in conjunction with other acne products (such as benzoyl peroxide) you would have better results.

Pros:

Very Bad.

Cons:

Immediately after I used this "Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser", my face got all red and and burning !!!, was like an eczema, all over my face. I simply HATE IT.
My skin was just fine before I used this product. I would never use this product again.

I suggest not to buy this if you have combination skin, or light acne, this will make MUCH WORST!!...

Pros:

Gentle
Calming
Effectively Removes Oil
Removes Make-up
Shrunk Pores
Skin is noticeably brighter and healthier
Removes Acne scars

Cons:

Doesn't help reduce pimples or redness

Well, it's a *clear complexion* cleanser, not necessarily an *acne* cleanser. I'm disappointed that it doesn't do anything for the pimples themselves, but it's definitely helped my skin. My skin is still red, yes, but my pores have shrunk and acne scars I've had for years are gone. I love this cleanser, it's slowly but surely getting rid of my acne, and I will definitely buy again. It IS pricey and I HAVE only been using it for a week, but I really like what I've seen so far. It's done muuuuch more for my skin than years of big name acne products. Only a 4/5, though, because it doesn't do anything for the pimples themselves.

Pros:

Smells amazing before and after use.
Feels light during application, not heavy or oily.
Makes skin very smooth and soft.

Cons:

Makes my face really dry throughout the day, more towards the afternoon. It is helping with my acne, and I had oily skin before so it's a good thing, but at times it makes my skin so dry it itches, and my lips have been getting really chapped as well.

It's a great product, but watch how much you use depending on your skin type. Mine is oily so I use 3 pumps, but it makes my skin dry. So I will decrease to 2 pumps. I also only use it once daily.

Pros:

This stuff really works on my skin. So does the cream that your supposed to use with it. It takes awhile for it to work but it works way better than the new Epiduo stuff they have out.

This works great on people who have very light to moderate acne. For people with servere acne I would probably recommend using Epiduo gel. I used it and it made my skin burn and made it all senstive but for people with servere acne it would probably work better. Even though it takes about a week or so to start working its worth it in the end:)

Pros:

This is the only product I can use on my face and it doesn't irritate it! It works wonders. Controls my acne and keeps my skin clear and smooth. Better and cheaper than proactive!

Cons:

Some drying but I also use Aveeno moisturizer for that so I really can't tell that much at all!

Bottom line...It does what it's suppose to do, for me anywayz. We all have different skin types but I found it to be the only one that will do the job for me.
