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...

Pros:Great as a body moisturizer - keeps my skin supple all day.
Cons:A little heavy for my face. I don't get much acne, just a pimple here and there yet when I used this moisturizer I really broke out!
Bottom Line:The whole time I used this moisturizer I was breaking out and I thought it was just a phase my skin was going through... but as soon as I stopped using it my skin cleared up! I checked websites on-line for the most acnegenic ingrediemts and one of them is the 2nd ingredient in this cream! Go figure!!! (Cetearyl alcohol & Ceteareth-20)

Cons:After 2 hours your face will turn into a slimy monster!! Too much oil that you can almost use your oil on your face to fry eggs...
Bottom Line:The con beats the pro.. Too bad... hope they do sumthing about the oiliness...

Pros:This product does moisturize your face but you have to apply a lot of it!
Cons:This product leaves your face feeling and looking super greasy.
Bottom Line:If you don't mind carrying a sponge with you to soak up the oil on your face after using this product then this moisturizer is for you. If you can't stand going in public with a shiny, greasy looking face then I don't recommend this product.
Recommended:No

Pros:Affordable, great moisturizer for people with over dry skin
Cons:If you have extremely oily skin like I do, keep looking.
Bottom Line:After reading all the reviews for this product, I thought I would try the generic brand Equate. I compared the ingredients and they were exactly the same. Unfortunately, the generic brand is just as greasy as the Cetaphil brand. I have extremely oily skin and I do not like the feel of this product. It moisturizes great but I cant get past the oily feel and I sure cant use it in the morning before going to work. DAN, where is that moisturizer you are working on? There's a conspiracy to discontinue the few good moisturizers out there for people with acne prone skin.

Pros:It takes care of flakiness and moisturizes great. Also, it's cheap and lasts a long time.
Cons:Very thick and creamy. It sometimes makes me a little greasy, but the moisture lasts all day
Bottom Line:This is my favorite moisturizer because it works so well. Like Dan says, it has a weird feel, but is great other than that.

Pros:Effectively moisturizes my skin for a really good price. I bought the larger bottle with the squirt top.
Cons:It does feel a little oily and sometimes takes awhile to absorb into the skin, but for me the oilyness is good since the bp really dries out my skin. Also it smells kinda funny but I find the smell disappears after it's absorbed. No SPF in it though.
Bottom Line:I used to use a very pricey moisturizer that still left my skin feeling tight. (It was fine until I went on the regimen.) This moisturizer did the trick without even having to use a lot. Since it's winter and extra dry here I sometimes have to put a little more on after it first absorbs, but overall I'm happy with this product. It didn't make me break out either, which was my biggest concern.

Pros:It is a good lotion. Nice for sensitive skin. Works well for me.
Cons:Too much can cause it to make your face oily.
Bottom Line:Don't use too much and your face won't be oily. It works well to make your skin soft and nice. If you avoid touching your face and use this, I really don't see why it would be a problem with your other treatments.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Cheap, great moisturizer- only one I have used that both completely takes care of flakiness and doesn't clump with Dan's BP
Cons:A little thick and causes an oily feeling that, for me, goes away in about 20 minutes
Bottom Line:This is a Great product that is well worth the price. If Dan can manage to make a better moisturizer than this, then I will certainly buy it because Cetaphil will be tough to beat
