I just purchased this product tonight. I've always had acne blemishes and under the skin type acne that never comes to the surface on my cheeks. I stopped using acne washes for a few weeks in hopes that my acne would dry out and clear up. Today while at Walmart, I decided to look for a new facewash (I only use Neutogena Naturals Makeup Remover & Biore pore cleanser to open my pores for toners ect.) and I was looking at Aveeno products. I use their brightening cleanser (I think that's what it's called?) and I haven't seen any difference in my skin.. And I have been using it for months! But I decided to try this without reading any reviews which is totally not like me, but I know Aveeno is for more sensitive skin like mine so I figured, why not?
I just washed my face with it and my skin feels SO soft, which isn't normal for me. It looks really red right now and feels warm, I'm not sure what this is about? However my mom always told me that when it feels like this, it usually means it's working. So let's hope so! Definitely looking for a way to clear up some of these blemishes that make my skin look horrible, and avoid major breakouts. I'll check in to update you all on how it's working for me! continued >>

I just started. Using this and I have amazing effects. Ok so the micro beads shrieked my enlarged pores and faded my red marks. I love this product. I do however only wash my face with this two times a day but this is simple awesome since I haven't had one pimple yet.

Bought this due to recommendations I read on here. I have the calming foaming cleanser but wanted to add another cleanser to alternate with that would treat acne. I feel like this is helping and feels good on the skin. Not a fan of the smell though, so I just try not ti inhale through my nose.

i wanted to try aveeno skin care products i stumbled upon this cleanser that has acne medication. the first day i used it makes a big difference in my skin i think i found my HG cleanser and i cant live without this i hope theyr'e not discontinuing this product because i will keep buying when it runs out i love how it brightens up my discoloration and acne scars on top of that i havent got acne since i used it

I have been using this product for over a month now, my friend recommended it to me. I dont have a lot of pimples as well I tend to break out when im stressed. So far from using this I have been getting a lot of pimples I mean my stress level isnt even high at all right now so not sure if what it is. I am going to test it out for 3 months exact and see how it turns out hopefully works out good. So sick of looking for a good cleanser, toner, moist for my skin. Any suggestions for me please let me know :( I have would say I have combination skin because I am dry in during the year and I am only oily in the summer so sucks finding a good skin care products that works for me.
So I have to continue writing my review on my original.. so in my review i said im going to keep trying this product to see how it is. Well It has been 3 months now and still nothing. this product does nothing for me and it even made me break out more. I have never had so many pimples at once since I have been using this product. I have completely stopped now. I would not recommend this product to anyone and I will not purchase it ever again. Now I am back to searching for new skin routine for dry skin :(

I have not been using this for very long but I can already tell a HUGE difference in my skin. I tend to have breakouts from time to time, as well as redness from previous breakouts. Aveeno's Cleanser has already reduced my bumps and erased the redness. It almost seems to good to be true: my skin is truly clear and I don't look as scary without my makeup. I have tried many cleansers over the years and nothing has solved the problem of breakouts AND erasing past damage. Thank you, Aveeno. I really enjoy the gentle scrub and the scent of the cleanser. I use this with the moisturizer and the Aveeno anti-aging night cream.

I actually got this because it was on sale for $4 and I'm glad I did! After cleansing, my face it felt really clean and supple. Has cleared some of my acne too and the beads are very nice to the skin. The only thing is that it doesn't remove my makeup. Would definitely buy again.

I've used it a few times and I already regret buying it! It wasnt cheap where I got it, and it doesnt make my face feel clean after using it. I guess the beads does somewhat exfoliate, but I rather have my face feel clean. I have to really scrub my face a few times to get it off. And it makes my face rather oily throughout the day. Before I used this, I don't really have a problem with oil on my face, but with this my face is shiny by night. On the other hand, it does get make up and dirt off your face.

I have extremely dry skin with red patches on my cheeks. I have tried everything from Clean & Clear to Neutrogena to Biore and everything in between, and this is my favorite that I have tried so far. It is super moisturizing! I have been using it a month (give or take) and I'm noticing that my red patches are slowly going away. This is not going to work overnight. I am 1/2 to 2/3 of the way to the bottom of my tube. You must give this time. I have definitely noticed a better complexion overall and I have had hardly any acne at all since I started this (but I am not very prone to acne in the first place) and this cleanser is clearing up my red patches, which is exactly what I bought it for. At less than six dollars at my local Walmart, this product is not very expensive at all compared to skin cleansers I have purchased in the past. I use this 2 times daily along with my Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion..it's my HG moisturizer and if this cleanser keeps working the way it has, it just might upgrade to HG status. :) I'll do an update when the bottle is finished to let you know if my opinion still stands!
EDIT: I've finished the bottle! I liked it, it did a great job moisturizing (it feels sooo nice) but I thought it would reduce my redness more than it did. It did reduce a lot of redness, just not as much as I wanted it to. Some days my redness was very mild and other days it got kinda bad. I used this twice a day every day. Maybe I just have unrealistic goals for what I want in a cleanser? I don't know..but overall, I'm still giving this product four stars because it is so moisturizing and for the most part, it did what it was supposed to. I think I'm going to try something different though..this doesn't quite make HG status! Oh and when I bought this I think it was on sale because it was under six dollars at my local Walmart and I went back to the same store yesterday to see if the price was the same and it had jacked up to almost seven bucks. I think I'm gonna try St. Ives Green Tea Scrub. continued >>

Everything you could imagine that could possibly be wrong with skin, is wrong with my skin. It's just a mess. I used to use five - FIVE - different cleansers and acne washes, depending on which of my problems were the worst on that particular day.
This covers everything. I apply it every other day. It controls every single problem. At first it actually made the problem worse, but after two weeks there is an amazing difference. I had intense acne scars that are now gone. I can finally go out in public without make-up. I'm so happy, I could cry.

I credit this cleanser with saving my skin. I started using it around four years ago, and it didn't take me long at all to see obvious positive results. It's very creamy, and I absolutely love the little micro beads. It's also great to mix with other gentle cleansers (such as Clinique's cleanser for oily skin formula). I know quite a few people don't like the smell, but it doesn't really bother me. It's a soft enough fragrance, in my opinion, that it doesn't really make that much of a difference. Over all, a great product from Aveeno that is more than worth the price!

I really wanted to like this cleanser, and at first I did. It has a nice tingle to it and it leaves my skin really smooth and soft right after use. Unfortunately, after a couple weeks of regular use, it's exacerbated my acne -- to the extent that I have breakouts in places I haven't before -- and my combination skin has become a veritable oil slick.

I have sensitive, dry skin that is prone to pimples once in a while and during my period. Every other acne products i've used always irritated my skin, made it read and didn't do anything for the acne at all. This cleanser is very gentle and creamy, doesn't dry skin out at all after, and contains mild level of microbeads. It doesn't do wonders on acne, but I think you shouldn't even use this product if you have severe acne in the first place. It makes my skin smooth. Obviously, the result isn't dramatic, but I think this cleanser is the only cleanser that didn't irritate my skin or caused a problem. If you wear makeup, don't expect to use this once to get it off. I usually use cetaphil to get it off once, then this to cleanse my face. you really should be washing your face twice with any cleanser if you wear face makeup.. hope that helped. BTW, when I registered for this website, I was asked about my hair colour. Brunette and brown is the same thing. stupid people

I bought this and I liked it. I like to use a cream cleanser before regular my facial soap, or just cream cleanser. This does the job nicely to me. I do have good skin though. I cannot say it brightens my skin because I do exfoliate. If you like cream cleansers like Noxzema, or clean and clear you could give this a try. You just do not get a lot in the package for the money.

So I haven't been using this product long. But even a little over a week I see a difference in my skin. The texture and tone are become very nice soft and even, it also gives me a glow. I love it. This product does NOT say it will clear your acne. But it does have salicylic acid which does help fight acne. I can't really say yet if it does prevent acne, and as far as the exfoliating goes, there is very little microbeads within the cleanser, but if you cleanse morning and night it should not be so bad because to much exfoliating will ruin your skin. I'm also a huge fan of this cleanser being hypo-allergenic since I've tryed so many things on my skin and they have probably ruined it a looot. Over all it's a pretty great buy if you have senstive acne-prone skin and want to even out everything :)

Doesn't cleanse well.

I've tried everything from ProActiv, AcneFree, Clean&Clear, Clearasil, Skin Id, everything! I wanted to try something natural and not so drying. It's no miracle, my face didn't clear up overnight or anything...but it feels awesome. My skin is clearing up and it has little microbeads that really brighten the face. Recommend! continued >>

Battling acne is hard. I came to the point of getting treatments from a dermatologist but it really didn't do much, and was just expensive. So back to drugstore I went. I had already found what I think is now my HG cleanser (Olay) so I decided I needed another product with salicylic acid because my Olay one doesn't. A scrub would be useful to get rid of dead skin build up as well so I decided to add one to my skincare.
I tried Neutrogena scrubs at first but I didn't really notice it doing anything beneficial for my skin. I remembered using Aveeno products back in college when my skin was really good, so I decided to try them out again. After a few months of using this everyday after my Olay cleanser, my skin is now almost prefectly clear.
I no longer get painful cysts, no more dry patches on my skin from dead skin build up, and this has helped clear my acne-blemished skin. Even when I do get the monthly pimples from my period, I believe this helps in resolving them fairly quickly and scar-free. I am very happy with this product. I don't know why this has such low remarks! Now that my skin is pretty clear, I only use this every other night just to cut back from too much exfoliating. Although I am the type of person who always wants to try new things, I would definitely stick with this one.
I would also like to add that even if you're not looking for an anti-acne scrub, still try this one for a gentle everyday one. Highly recommend it.

It is surprisingly hard to find a decent non-mineral oil based cream cleanser. As with most cream cleansers, this does not foam, nor is is made to lather which I don't mind.
After a long and hard search, I found this product by Aveeno. Price wise it runs about $7 in drugstores which I feel is decent. I like the cream like consistency and lack of fragrence. Another selling point for me is even though the label cautions against contact with your eyes, it does not burn or stink if you should slip up which is often the case with facial cleansers. My face looks and feels clean after each use. Kudos to Aveeno!

Love this cleanser. It has everything I want -- it's super gentle, it battles blemishes, it helps even out my skin tone, AND it doesn't cost a fortune. A lot of "acne" washes that are made for teenagers are too drying for my skin, which still gets breakouts but isn't too oily. This is perfect!
