Pros:

Evens out skin tone
Feels great, dries quickly
Works if used sparingly

Cons:

I've figured it out, once I use this moisturizer for a week straight I began to form small pimples. What I do is use this moisturizer MWF and use cetaphil for the other days, at night I use clean & clear night. In the first week, red spots faded, leftover hyperpigmentation disappeared, but I gained two pimples on eyebrow and one beginning on chin.

I WOULDN'T recommend using this existing severe acne or ever moderate acne.

Use it as I said for red marks/hyperpigmentation, but if you use it every day, something in the product eventually irritates and clogs skin.

Pros:

Price, smell, feels soothing on the skin, good skin protection

Cons:

I noticed my skin breaking out after using it for less than a week. I battle mostly cystic acne, and with this product I started having small white heads around my nose and forehead.

I think the sunscreen is causing the breakouts. Skip this one if you are prone to clogged pores from sunscreen.

Pros:

Moisturizes well enough.

Cons:

face is shiny afterwards and sometimes white heads appear.

I used this product for a year and at first I thought it was the best. But after a couple of months in, I began noticing more white bumps. After washing my face and applying the bp at night, I would wake up in the morning to pretty decent skin; no white bumps, or at least reduced/ less visible ones, if any where present. After applying the moisturizer and checking up on my skin later during the day, I've always noticed that the white bumps started to appear again. Perhaps this moisturizer is more pore clogging than originally thought.

Pros:

Good Moisterizer

Cons:

Breaks out my face and cheeks.

I am so happy that I found this review!!! I could not figure out why my face started breaking out over the past couple months. I thought this new Aveno product that I was using was good b/c it felt great. But I too have been getting breakouts all over my cheeks (places I've never broken out at before) and I couldn't figure out what it was. It's really bad now, my skin was clear before. I just thought maybe my hormones were changing. But it all makes sense, it did start happening when I used the Aveno. You guys described exactly what's been going on so I know this is what has been causing the breakouts. I though it was safe for sensitive skin b/c it says non-comedogenic. We should sue! Thanks guys.

Pros:

doesn't break me out
has spf
seems to even out skin tone

Cons:

does appear a little bit shiny
the company sent me a faulty bottle so the pump didn't work

I was really annoyed with the bottle because it wouldn't pump the lotion, but at least the product is okay. Other people seem to have broken out because of it, but it seems fine for me as long as I don't slather too much on.

Pros:

?

Cons:

-reeeeeeeeeally greasy

My only problem with this moisturizer was that it was EXTREMELY greasy. It didn't break me out that much (just a bit), but it was terribly greasy. Whenever I wore it, my face looked like I had dunked it in oil.

I like it
It's a pretty good moisturizer I'd say. Nothing magical or spectacular, but it works for me. Can't say what it will do for anyone else's skin.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Greesy
Made my skin breakout
Tested on animals

I have been battling acne for the most part of 2008, but it cleared up miraculously over the last few months. Aveeno positively radiant made my skin breakout really bad and reversed all my healing process. Now I am back to battling stubborn cystic acne again. Thank yo Aveeno!!! Wonder what the poor animals had to go through.....
