Pros:

- drastic changes in redness and pimple size within 3 days
- light and your skin feels soft :)
- salicylic acid included to help :)

Cons:

- nothing so far! :D

I recently purchased this moisturizer after using the Burt's Bee's Day Moisturizer with Royal Jelly because there was none in stock and I really can't live a day without moisturizer so I chose this. I realized that my skin can only use products that are light, gentle and without any harsh products included. At the back of the bottle, it states, 'Aveeno Active Naturals formulas contain skin conditioning or dry skin soothing agents that are sourced from nature.' Therefore, I decided to try it since I have been breaking out a bit lately. In the past, I have used the cleanser but it didn't go out so well. I have to admit, I was hesitant to try it; however, my sister has used it before and said it was great so I took her word for it. When I got home, that night I used it, you could feel your face where your acne is tightening. For me, that's a sign that's it's working. The next morning, I woke up and number one, my face redness has decreased and number two, my face isn't as oily compared to the other moisturizers I have used. By today, day three, the redness has gone by 95%! I am so pleased with this product and will probably never change :) *Drink plenty of water too :) I recently started to avoid eating chocolate (even though it may be a myth; however, it contains milk which causes breakouts), fried foods (no matter how delicious it looked), chips, candy, and the most important would be dairy products. They are known to be the cause of most breakouts. :) *I also use tea tree oil every morning and night. It helps a lot too cause you can feel it working into your skin, try considering it, you won't regret it unless you're allergic to any ingredients of course :) Hope that helps for you all and I wish the best of luck for all of you maintaining your precious skin :) Remember, if it doesn't help, keep trying until you find the one that's for YOU! :D Most importantly, everyone is beautiful, inside and out no matter what you think :)

Pros:

natural soy complex
light creamy feeling
get's rid of discoloration (hyper-pigmentation)
salicylic acid treatment
affordable
easy to apply

Cons:

can ball up if used with any topical medications
has a fragrance (that is pleasant to some!)

I love this moisturizer - I'm big on facial products (have tried them all!) and by far I swear by Aveeno's products. I use this moisturizer along with Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Moisturizer SPF 15 - and together the two (along with Benzaclin and Retin A) have cleared my face completely. I had moderate/sever acne (now I have very light) and my dermatologist recommended that I try these both out and I would recommend them to anyone suffering from acne ( I've experienced the embarrassment, the frustration, anger and sadness it has caused and I would only recommend and share the best!) If you can get it on Amazon or another more affordable website - get it there. I live in Manhattan and it is about $20 where as Target, Walmart, and other stores have it for around $14.

Pros:

It has actually helped lessen my amount of blemishes. It made my skin itch the first few days, but I think this is the only product that has showed results. It's gentle, smells nice. I recommend it to anyone.

Cons:

Doesn't include SPF. :/

FANTASTIC!

Fairly impressed ☺
I suffered from acne pretty bad from 12-17. Now i get the occasional break out. Well recently I have been battling a break out that wouldn't go away. I can't use benzoyle peroxide because its to harsh on my very sensitive skin. And all the other brands with Salicylic acid dried it out or didn't help any. But after using this for 4 days my skin is amazing!! It looks evenly toned and all my spots, redness, and dry skin are almost gone!! Being a 22 yr old male I was questioning even considering a women's product. But I don't regret it now!!

Pros:

It's cheap.
Works instantly!
Not oily/greasy.
Smells good!!!

Cons:

Nothing

I've been really hesitant on using this product, because let's be honest here, I never use any drug store brands before on my face.... but since I was running low on my make up forever moisturizer.... and well short on cash as that matter, I decided to try this out... and I LOVE IT!!! seriously, to me it works better then the name brand products, and it's so cheap too! which is perfect for me. I've only used it this for a week.. but let me just tell you.. on the first night i've used this, I could already see my skin being brighter and clear. It's been a week now, and I can see some of my acne scars go away! for anyone whose undecided on buying this product, I suggest you get this now! it works so good, and it's so cheap!!!

Pros:

Moisturizes well without leaving skin oily or shinny. Evens out skin tone very nicely. Smells nice.

Cons:

Expensive, can be too harsh at times. No SPF.

I've been dealing with mild to moderate acne for about 11 years now. Thanks to my dermatologist I get very few breakouts, so my acne is definitely well controlled. The one area where I've struggled is finding a good moisturizer. Most either don't provide enough moisture or leave me with a greasy feel and a shinny face. Also, this is wonderful in evening out skin tone. Although I'm not getting nearly as many pimples these days, the ones I do get tend to leave a mark. This helps to reduce the appearace of those friendly little reminders. That's one of the key benefits of this product - actually makes my skin appear to be healthy, not just pimple free. That's a huge and important difference. Sometimes the fact that this moisturizer is medicated is a problem as I have days when my skin is extra sensitive. For me, using topical rxs makes this product a less agreeable on certain days. But otherwise no complaints! They could lower the price though, jeez.

Pros:

A great year-round moisturizer. I use it in the morning. Non-greasy, makeup does on well on top of it, great dispenser bottle. The first week my complexion (acne scar, freckles) looked more even.

Cons:

In winter, I needed an additional moisturizer for little areas of chapped skin.

A great product, I get bad acne sometimes and this product has moisturized without aggravating the problem. I still recommend using spot treatment in addition to the lotion.

Pros:

Light weight cream and a nice scent to it

Cons:

Maybe the price

Great product, so far it has done what it says it does. I had a few blemishes and a bit of an uneven complexion due to a bad sunburn and has prevented pimples. If u use it as recommended then it should work for you!

Pros:

-Helps with acne
-moisturizes
-salicylic acid!
-nice scent
-spreads onto skin nicely
-makes skin look very smooth.

Cons:

-doesn't really do much for hyperpigmentation
-moderately expensive.

I live in the Ukrainian capital city, Kyiv, which although beautiful, does not provide as many options for Acne treatments as they do in the United States. My sister brought me this product (along with the foaming wash, because I was sick of my olay wash that i bought here) when she visited me because I always complained that i needed a good moisturizer. This product doesn't do much for hyperpigmentation which is a bit unfortunate, but it does help diminish acne. It's a perfect match with the foaming wash, the smell is light and clean smelling, and it is easily smoothed onto my skin. My skin looks smoother, but the discoloration still looms around. I guess you can say it's expensive, but it could be much worse, and they do give you alot per bottle, so at least it has good value. It's a good product that i believe many people would benefit from! :) (PS: I gave it a 4 star rating, but I would REALLY, if i could, give it a 3.5, still, worth a shot, definitely!!)
