Did Anyone Else Find this Really Drying?
I found it to be drying. Its one of those cleansers that I thought would work out well for me because i'm a big Aveeno fan but then it was just like...meh. Now,I always thought my acne prone skin was due to OIL and that I needed things marked "clear complexion" or "clear it up" etc. However, I now know that really my skin was just super thirsty so...do I think this product is terrible, no. Do I think it was right for my skin type- definitely not. Would it be helpful for someone with mild acne? Oh for sure. HOTTAKE: if you have genuinely oily skin OR mild acne and want a light cleanser that will suck the oil up and treat the acne - you could try this. But honestly, it's not really not amazing amazing.

Terrible
This just made my face worse. I used it for a few months and it never got better. I took a break and then went back to it once to experiment, and the next day I had several new pimples. It is soft and the foam is nice, but it's not the right product for me.

Pros:

the bottle is nice

Cons:

the pump broke after a few weeks, it got stuck.
Dried up my skin and left it red.

I would not recommend it, I think it made my acne scars even redder and just made my skin dry and red.

Pros:

None

Cons:

I used it a couple times and my face broke out into red bumps all over my forehead, and some bumps on my nose and cheeks.

I'm not sure if I have a sensitivity to salicylic acid, but I wouldn't recommend this to anyone. My face looks much worse now.

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:

Lovely smell
Pump
Foam
Cheap (in US)
Cute bottle with lid

Cons:

Cystic acne all over face
Soy protein reaction (cysts)

I loved this cleanser at first. However, after about a week I started breaking out really bad with cystic acne. I belive it was from soy-protein that it contains. I returned it.

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!

IIt wont help with any pimples because it is a acne prevention cleanser so if you already have acne it wont help.
