Gentle but effective
By lyra_b
I started using Aveeno productions in regards to two months ago and have noticed a substantial betterment in my skin texture: much smoother and less redness. This scrub is very tame - no harsh grains to cause abrasions or redness; just smooth, little microbeads that softly exfoliate your skin. I use this in conjunction with the Positively Radiant Cleanser and have been exceedingly happy. I have very oily and sensible skin - believe me, I've tried just in regards to each product out there and this is the best I've found.

Not For Everyone
By sayock
I like the Aveeno merchandise I've tried, including this one. However, taking into account the reasons I purchased this product, I would have to say I'm disappointed with it. This product is in general not working for me.
First of all, a good deal of others here mention the littler beads. That might seem like a little concern. However, I think the beads are the reason this product won't work for everyone--I believe that this product is mainly for those with sensible skin, and that's what they will have to advertize so the rest of us may save our money. I may see how big/harsh beads may irritate a great deal of people's skin, and I've seen reviews of this product where a good deal of people have cited a scrub by St. Ives as an example of a harsh scrub. However, unless you have that problem of most scrubs irritating your skin, the seemingly non-existent beads in this product are just not going to get the occupation done on your skin...or possibly it will, but it will take a long time.
Second, this product claims to do galore things I don't think it does, or maybe--again--it only does it for those with sensible skin. For example, I have not seen my skin "brighten" so much as look shiny/oily in sure spots, particularly my forehead. Another thing is I do have uneven skin tone and texture, and it is not doing a thing for that. The product also doesn't in truth lather that well (unless perchance your face is soaked?), so I, personally, have to keep squeezing more out and wetting my face to get sufficient on as you need to rub this scrub in pretty good and for a while.
Third, I assumed that a product that would exfoliate the skin would likewise support with acne and have been led to believe by a lot of reviews I've seen that it HAS helped a great deal of humans with acne. In fact, the reason I purchased this product in the introductory place is that my mother has it and suggested it for my skin. I used hers at her house a few times and liked the way it made my skin feel, so I decisive to buy one of my own. At it is price, now I'm kind of sorry I did. My acne is just the same as ever--pimples/scars did not fade one bit with this product--and, in fact, each time after using this product the same spot on my chin has become inflamed, i.e. itching/stinging sensation that just would not go away (this would go on for hours) and a raised spot, kind of like a little swelling. The last time I employed this product, I used it to my forehead and cheeks only and my chin did not become inflamed. Aside from that slight inflammation, it's as if the product does not one thing but moisturizes my face, not exfoliate it.
I give the product two stars because I did like how it made my skin feel in general, particularly right after using it. If I want to moisturize my skin, I will unquestionably use it. But I've already moved on to another product to try and treat my acne and aid with skin tone/texture, Clean & Clear Oxygenating Scrub. I've been using this for a very short amount of time, but I may already note some key differences--bigger beads, a much nicer feel after using it (definitely feels awful and like it's working), numerous of my pimples feel like they are shrinking within an hour of usage, skin feels INCREDIBLY soft (even my hands), don't have to use much to rub it on your face and feel it working, etc. I think this Clean & Clear scrub is going to be what I was looking for and might commend this to people who need a more inviolable scrub than Aveeno's but a scrub that's not TOO strong (this C&C scrub says it's good for each day use just as Aveeno's does), but I will write a distinguished review underneath that product after I've applied it more and may report more reliably. As for this Aveeno scrub, I have the foam cleanser and I'm not sure I may tell the divergence amongst the foam cleanser and this scrub. If you have one, don't buy the other...

One of my favorites
By Ashlee
I've applied this scrub for with regards to 2 years. Each time it lasts me regarding 6 months, b/c it takes such a little amount to do the job. My skin feels smoother and does in fact look more brilliant after use. The beads are very little which I prefer. I have more or less sensitive, combining skin and this is one of few productions I've tried that in truth works with that. I even feel safe letting my toddler daughter use a little dab when she wants to be just like mommy.
