This reformulated face wash from AVEENO is an improvement. It only takes one pump of product to wash one’s face of dirt, grime and makeup. The fragrance is light and does not cloy to the skin. This wash is best for those individuals with Normal to Oily/Combination skin.

Have been using this cleanser for years. The new formula is just a cheap hand soap. The new dispenser pumps more than double what I need. I will be looking for something else

Why? The previous formula was perfect and highly rated. The new formula smells like a cleaner I would use on my countertops NOT my face! It also does not provide the refreshing clean feeling it used to. PLEASE bring the old formula back!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you're looking for a facial cleanser that's gentle and effective, you gotta try Aveeno Positively Radiant Brightening Facial Cleanser. It leaves my skin feeling clean and refreshed and helps even out my skin tone. Plus, it gives me a nice glow that makes me feel amazing!

I have used this cleanser for many, many years, but recently they changed packaging and formula . The previous cleanser was excelent, this one is not. I am returnig product. Why does Aveeno choose to change something that worked for 20 or mor years, I don't get it.

I used to prefer this face cleanser above all others. However, I noticed its formula has changed and now I'm getting pimples-- it's not as effective or as nice on the skin.

I use to use the Brightening cleanser for sensitive skin but Aveeno has discontinued it. It says this cleanser is for ALL skin types… uh, NO! My skin is extremely sensitive and this product burns my skin! Horrible! Plus, Aveeno needs to STOP testing its products on animals!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Leaves my skin feel fresh and hydrated. Simple to use to wash away dark spots that occur with age. Wet lather and rinse always making sure to hydrate afterwards. I use this daily and would highly recommend if you want to brighten your face.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great at removing the excessive amount of eye makeup I wear daily, and you definitely don't need more than one pump of product to cleanse your entire face. The scent is wonderful, and feel like I'm getting a deep clean with minimal effort

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love the Aveeno Positively Radiant Brightening Facial Cleanser. It smells really nice, it has a light sweet scent that is not overpowering or strong. The texture is lightweight and cleanses dirt and makeup off really well. It leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean without feeling tight and dehydrated. I feel it has worked well with my exfoliant to brighten my skin.

I have used Positively Radiant Brightening cleanser for years. I loved the silky feel of it and was great on my sensitive skin. This new version does not feel the same at all. It is sticky feeling and more like liquid hand soap than the previous version. Bummed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using this product for a couple of months. I’ve noticed my face is less red after washing and feels incredibly smooth. I’m obsessed with the light scent. Must have for smooth clean face. Pairs well with other products in my skin care regimen.

Inconvenient to use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Where this product leaves my skin feeling smooth, it is not my favorite variety. I prefer more of a foam cleanser with a more rich lather. The worst thing of all though, was I could not get the pump to open, meaning I have to unscrew the lid every time I use it. This has not been convenient, and I usually end up with a lot more than I need. This product has been okay so far, but is far from great.
