Indications
Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser is a gentle facial cleanser formulated with salicylic acid and soy extracts that help improve skin tone and texture, revealing brighter and clearer-looking skin. Its active ingredient is called Salicylic Acid. Salicylic acid belongs to a class of drugs known as salicylates. When applied to the skin, salicylic acid may work by helping the skin to shed dead cells from the top layer and by decreasing redness and swelling (inflammation). This decreases the number of pimples that form and speeds healing.
Uses and Dosage
Aveeno Clear Complexion Foaming Cleanser should only be used on the skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, mouth, groin, or any broken skin, such as cuts, scrapes, or rashes, to prevent irritation.

Prior to using the product for the first time, it's recommended to check for any allergies. Apply a small amount to one or two areas of acne for three days.
