First of all, the pump in this product would not work at all. I had to pump too many times to have enough product on my hand. Second of all, I felt like this product didn’t clean my face well.

Love this face wash! My doctor recommended Aveeno after I experienced an odd painful breakout. This gave me immediate results! I just feel so guilty using this as I usually only purchase Cruelty-Free products; that's the only thing I dont like about Aveeno.
The smell is too strong.

Have used this for years and this most recent batch with the dark brown lids is definitely different. Really perfumey and not useful to anyone with scent sensitivity.

I love, love the formula. It has kept my skin clear for YEARS. There’s times when I try changing products and notice breakouts and have to immediately return to this product. However, I am not a fan of the pump. Every bottle I have purchased over the years the pump has always been an issue. It works when first purchased but after a few pumps the actual disposal gets stuck and I have to use both hands to lift up and down to pump out the product. I have three bottles at home and each one is the same issue. I recommend this to most friends and family and they also have expressed the bottle disposal issue. This need a major fixer up! Please!

Like many others, I’ve used this product for probably over 10 years and have absolutely loved it. Right before the color of the pump was changed to brown, I noticed it would break on every bottle I purchased. Then the tops were changed to brown and I was hoping the pumps were improved, but nope! Then I noticed the smell was changed (and it’s horrible!) and the formula seemed different altogether. I’m confused as to why companies with a great product feel the need to change something that wasn’t broken to begin with. Hoping this product goes back to how it used to be, but I’m guessing it won’t, so I definitely won’t be repurchasing or recommending to others.

New Formula Stinks - Literally

This has been my go-to face wash for over a decade now, but this new formula is absolutely horrible. Smells completely different than the previous version and is so strong that I had to rewash my face several times with a different cleanser to rid it of the smell. The packaging is also terrible with the pump getting stuck every second. Please, please bring back the old formula! Until then I'll be trying other brands to find a new salicylic acid face wash.

New Formula So Bad!

linds080 - 2 months ago, Verified purchaser
This has been my go-to face wash for over 10 years, but as others have stated, this new formula is so bad! The packaging is terrible - the dispenser gets stuck with each pump, but the worst change of all is the smell! No way this is unscented. I bought a new bottle recently and the smell was so horrible and so strong that I had to rewash my face twice with CeraVe to get the smell off my face. I figured I just got a bad bottle, so I bought a brand new one and this one smells the exact same. I won't be able to continue using this any longer, sadly. Please switch back to the old formula and packaging!

I will use this forever, it truly keeps my skin nice and balanced (I have combo skin) and when I do not use it, I notice the difference. I an really in need of a travel size though, I can never take it with me when I travel and it really messes up my routine to not have a travel size. Please bring a travel size!!!

I just started using this cleanser, and I like it so far . I think it is a little weird to pump, but it does foam up and I use it pretty much every time I shower. 
New formula broke me out and dried my skin out at the same time!

I have been using the Aveeno Positively Radiant brightening and clear complexion cleansers for years. The combination of both cleared up my acne and helped my dry skin. This new formula broke me out with acne all over my cheeks (which is an area I never had acne on before) and caused dry patches that are peeling around my lips and nose. My skin looks awful! DO NOT USE THIS! I am so disappointed that they changed all their products. The fragrance is too strong and the soap is too harsh. Aveeno has always been my go-to for my sensitive yet acne-prone skin, but not anymore.

Excellent face wash at preventing blackheads and acne BUT Aveeno, PLEASE fix the pumps! I’ve gone through 3 bottles of this and EVERY time the pump keeps getting stuck and you have to use both hands to manually get the soap out. So annoying! Also, can be a little drying for sensitive skin as it has salicylic acid so I use it only once a day or every other day.
Love!

The new formula (brown, white, and green bottle) is making my skin look worse than ever. I was a faithful user of the old white and green formula, and my skin had been clear for years. Now, I am broken out to the point that I have to wear a ton of makeup. I’m so upset.
