An Average Cleanser

While I adore Aveeno's body care and hair care products, I've never really cared for most of their skincare products, and this is one of those products. I think I bought this just because the labeling claiming to detoxifying and purify pores really caught my attention, along with the cute, cheery packaging. And yes, while the packaging looks great and is sturdy, the product itself is not as great....read more I think the only thing I really like about the product is the smell, which is like a fresh but floral scent that reminds me of carefree summer mornings out in the countryside. Besides this, this cleanser does not lather well, and it doesn't make my skin feel very clean. I used this in the summer, when my skin felt oily and gross, and after using this cleanser, my skin still felt oily and gross, but now it was also wet. I tried this in the winter as well, when my skin is dry and sensitive, and this still didn't give me a clean feeling. I didn't expect a tight, drying clean feeling, I just wanted my face to feel fresh, hydrated, and free from makeup and dirt. Overall, I will not be repurchasing this cleanser because it just didn't lather well and didn't clean my skin well.

Good

My skin can at times be sensitive and this does not bother my skin. It washes off easy doesn't leave a film and is gentle. It is also affordable for a good quality face wash.

Average

This is just an ok cleanser for me. It does nothing special for my skin. I don't have problems with acne & my skin is on the normal side. I'm glad it wasn't really expensive. I will use it up but won't be repurchasing.

eh...

I don't really like how this product is hard to wash off and difficult to get out of the container, plus it doesn't leave my skin feeling at all clean. I haven't broken out though, the only redeeming factor.

great

This is one of my favorite facial cleansing products. I have dry, sensitive skin and this cleanser does its job at cleansing my face. It doesn't leave that overdrie d or icky feeling, nor does it irritate my skin. The scent and afforable price as an added bonus. I will cintinue to use this facial cleanser

Not so great...

I've had good and bad experiences with Aveeno facial products. This one in particular wasn't a favorite of mine. I have combination skin, it's typically hard to find a single cleanser that does it all. I usually use Aveeno positively radiant facial cleanser to remove my makeup. Then I will use another brand of facial cleanser to moisturize and remove excess dirt/oil. I bought this one instead of t...read morehe positively radiant and found that it dried my skin out. The scent wasn't that great either.

Amazing

I feel in love with this product the first day that i used. After washing my face , it felt like my face was very clean, it does give you a deep cleaning , i use it every morning and every night ... does not dry out my skin and the best thing is that it doesnt have a stinky smell, it smells nice. It a great product definitely worth the price , oh and a small dime size goes a looonngg way .. you dont need to much ... go and buy this product!

lovely results

This product rid my skin of blemishes and cleared up most of my acne around my jawline and chin (I still have blackheads though). It really does clear your skin and even out your complexion. It's super gentle, smells alright, and keeps your face completely moisturized (gently splash water and don't scrub your face to wash off the product, then pat dry). It's gentle enough to use morning and night. Definitely worth the money and I'd recommend it to others.

Amazing Product

I just bought this after switching from Clinique, I love this product my skin has never looked so good. It looked bright and smooth and completely renewed. I highly recommend it. I have never gotten such results from any other product.
