Pros:Great moisturizer for the body.
Cons:Not recommended for the face.
Bottom Line:I find this moisturizer to be too heavy for my face (it did clog my pores a bit) but it is fantastic as a body moisturizer as it cures the dryness. I notice that I am not breaking out anymore on the shoulders since wearing this moisturizer (the fragranced stuff is deadly for me). A little bit goes a long way. I also use the cleansing bar in the shower as a soap replacement.

Pros:Works well in controlling flakiness in conjunction with Dan's regimen
Cons:Pretty greasy and feels weird when applying
Bottom Line:I use this at night because it's so greasy on my face. It's the only product that controls the flakiness. During the day I use Neutrogena's oil free moisture with a drop or two of jojoba oil. This combination seems to do the trick for my sensitive skin which is flakier than I would have expected on the Regimen.

Pros:It really does moisturize. Oh, how it moisturizes. Given how much the BP seems to dry out skin, the fact that this stuff does its job, and well, is a point not to be ignored.
Cons:It is indeed thick, and it does indeed leave one's face as shiny as freshly poured olive oil.
Bottom Line:If you do not mind being on the shiny side, then this stuff is just fine. It doesn't seem to be an irritant, all leaving you with more acne than it takes away, but oh man SO SHINY. I can't say if it made my skin red, or if that was the BP. It's a good moisturizer, but seriously, it really does make your face like a biological mirror (which is to say, shiiiiiiny).

Pros:Works really well for dry, flaky sensitive skin
Cons:Does make your skin oily, but I have found if I only use it at night and use a sensitive skin SPF 15 lotion during the day (like oil of olay, which doesn't clog pores) it works like a charm.
Bottom Line:Definitely recommend it....I'd rather have slighty oily skin that's clear than dry skin with breakouts mixed in
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Great in conjuction with my benozyl regimen.
Cons:Greasy-looking face for about 10-20min after application. Funny
Bottom Line:Has made a great impact on my skin - I was in the midst of a massive breakout coming off minomycin and suddenly, in conjuction with my benozyl regimen, my skin is recovering and its awesome.

Pros:Went on smooth and quickly absorbed into my skin; easy to use; fragrance free!
Cons:It left my face a bit oily
Bottom Line:I had never really considered that my skin was sensitive when I reacted badly to other soaps and moisturizers. It wasn't until recently when my skin was left feeling like leather after changing face washes that I was desperate for something that would no longer irritate my skin but give it the hydration it needs. This was it! The effect was almost immediate. After a few minutes, the dry flaky skin had almost completely vanished. I'm sticking with cetaphil from now.

Pros:It gets rid of the dryness and flakiness that BP causes. In my experience it does for the whole day.
Although it is fragrance free, it does have a distinctive smell to it that I dont like.
Cons:It makes my face look so oily!! Im on the 10% BP now and ive noticed it takes a lot more effort to rub in Cetaphill, it seems to just stick to the top of my skin and not soak in..
Bottom Line:Ive used this product for a very long time. It doesn't seem to cause more pimples and has the desired effect. But the oilness is just getting too much so im going to look for another product. Everyone is different and this product may work well for your skin...
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Christy-lee has used this item for about a year.
