| Pros | - Keeps skin soft and moisturised all day - SPF 15 (but doesn't leave you shiny) - Oil- and fragrance-free - Widely available - Does not cause breakouts |
|---|---|
| Bottom line | I bought this on a whim as an alternative to Dan's moisturiser and I'm really glad I did. I have very dry, eczema-prone skin which becomes almost unmanageable during winter. For the past few years I've also become very prone to breakouts all over my face. I've tried many different moisturisers, low and high end, and the one's I've tried either felt heavy / greasy on my skin, left me shiny, or didn't keep me moisturised for more than a few hours. This moisturiser is the only one that keeps me moisturised, lasts all day, contains SPF, does not leave shine and is gentle on sensitive skin. Another benefit I did not expect was how soft it made my skin feel, which was surprising for a product with such a light consistency. I don't feel any burning or stinging when I apply it (maybe because your skin was very dry when you put it on?), and I've been using this daily for a month now. The moisturiser is very effective on its own, but when I have to be outside in the wind and snow for a long time I pat on a few drops of jojoba oil on top as an extra precaution. I recommend anyone with dry, sensitive, and acne-prone skin to give this product a try. I really hope Cetaphil doesn't change the formula because this moisturiser is perfect as it is! |

| Pros | I guess it moisturizes your skin a little. |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Didn't moisturize my skin fully, skin was still flaky and dry. -Burns, but not Too extreme. Either way still burns. -Feels somewhat greasy. |
| Bottom line | My dermatologist gave me this product to help with my dry skin when I started 10 MG of Accutane daily for about two months. I applied this product morning AND night. It only helped slightly with my dry skin. I would wear makeup over the moisturizer, and you could still see the dry skin/spots/flakes on my face. So, I wound up having to buy an exfoliator and scrub off the visible dry skin with a towel (I know that's bad for your acne, but I wasn't going to walk around with dry spots on my face that was very visible.) A month later I was switched to Spironolactone and Retin-A. Still using Cetaphil Daily Facial Moisturizer. Retin-A is very drying to the skin. This moisturizer still is doing the same - Not moisturizing enough, and I still have dry, visible, flaky skin. I switched to Aveeno Positively Radiant Daily Mosturizer. Wish me luck! |

| Pros | - moisturizes well |
|---|---|
| Cons | - burns at first, but it goes away after a minute - greasy & shiny-looking skin |
| Bottom line | When I used this moisturizer for the first time, I thought that it was expired or something because it burned! That never happened before with a moisturizer. I stopped using it for a few days and then I used it again. The burning sensation happened again, but I decided to keep it on to see what happens. It went away after about a minute or so. I have been using it every day for a month now, and the burning sensation only happens every now and then, but it does not cause any other harm. It does a good job of moisturizing. I use it at night because it leaves my skin very soft in the morning. However, I don't like using it during the day because it is a little greasy. It's not the worst moisturizer and I will finish the bottle, but I probably will not purchase it again. |

| Pros | - SPF protection - Goes on smooth - Decent job preventing flakes - Has not caused breakouts - Goes on shiny but dries |
|---|---|
| Cons | - The dispenser is not good for traveling - Could moisturize more - Burns if it gets in your eyes (like all sunscreen) |
| Bottom line | I really wanted SPF in my moisturizer, so I got this one even though acne.org says it can sometimes cause breakouts. I wanted to give it a try. This moisturizer is pretty thick, and it does keep my flakes at bay. It could be a bit more moisturizing, though. I don't notice a whole lot of shine once this product dries. I have not had any breakouts since using it. DO NOT put it anywhere near your undereye or eyelid area. Inevitably, some will get in your eye and it REALLY STINGS. It does not sting on my face, but boy does it irritate the eyes. |

| Pros | - Light Weight - Very Moisturizing - SPF 15 - Doesn't Clog Pores - Fragrance Free - Helped Reduce Dry Patches on Skin - It has a Pump |
|---|---|
| Cons | - None that I can think of |
| Bottom line | After having a bad experience with Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion I decided to use this to help my dry face recover. I like this product a lot because it really moisturized my skin and helped reduce the dry patches on my face. It also has SPF which also helps with acne because it protects your skin from the sun which helps reduce hyperpigmantation and worsening of acne. It also didn't cause any acne as far as i could. It really was great for my sensitive dry skin. |

| Pros | None |
|---|---|
| Cons | Left my skin oily BURNS! Left my nose and undereyes (where I applied most) very red and sensitive |
| Bottom line | I wanted a good, gentle SPF for my face that was light but effective. I got this product because I found Cetaphil to be a reliable brand. I bought this with high hopes, but the first day I used it, it made my skin very sensitive in those areas. I also tried using it to take off makeup (using a tissue and water) and it stung very badly. And don't get me started on how damaged my undereye skin was after smoothing this on. I wish I had good things to say, but I can't. |

| Pros | well I was looking for a good moisturizer with and spf, and I guess it does moisturize...and it has an Spf.... |
|---|---|
| Cons | it made my whole face Shinier than heck!!!!! and it burns!!!! when I put something on my face and it starts burning that much I don't want to use it again! moisturizers are supposed to be calming and nice.....but beware it felt like I put acid or something on my face, and it made it red:( I had to wash it off |
| Bottom line | I would never buy this product ever again. it sucks. when the cetaphil people designed this, they did not keep gentleness in mind:( |
