Pros:

it cleans well. has a nice scent. great for sensitive skin

Cons:

has it made a difference for me? I can't really tell. It's pretty expensive tho

I like that it smells nice. Probably better for people with light acne or people who are using a harsh topical ointment and want a cleanser with salicylic acid. It didn't irritate my skin at all. Tho its a lil expensive, if you want a very gentle acne wash, go for this.

Pros:

makes face soft, smells nice, not greesy, rinses off clean, reduces acne and redness.

Cons:

After 3 days of use I developed an itchy reation similar to the one I get when I use aloe vera, sodium hydroxide or any type of hydroxy containing product. I tried to see if this product contains any of my known allergens but can't find out.

I have to stop using it. Ugh!!!

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:

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:

Cleans well, not an overwhelming fragrance, you don't need very much of the product because it lathers very well for a foam.

Cons:

Very drying (everything is for me), I don't love the smell

It keeps my breakouts under control.

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, Easy to use (rinsing off wise), and the pump is useful. It also keeps mild acne under control and evens out skin tone.

Cons:

Can dry out skin if not used with a moisturizer.

I would definitely recommend this for people with Mild Acne who also want to even out their skin tone. If you want a light cleanser this works well too.
