I have been using this moisturizer for awhile now. It's the best one i have ever used.

It sounds good- how about for sensitive skin ? My skin was okay with the Cetaphil moisturizer for about 2 weeks, then started reacting with this stinging and redness. Now just using Cetaphil regular moisturizer BUT its too heavy. Neutrogena moisturizer for sensitive skin- way too light...its hard to find a good one.....I'm spending a lot of $$$ these days experimenting. :-k

I did it with great success ! Just go really easy on the BP....less is more as they say when you start. My cheeks are most sensitive to anything so I put BP everywhere else..my cheeks cleared up too ! I have sensitive, oily, dry, combo skin plus rosacea. You having nothing to lose by trying it ! / Except some zits !

Hi shugar, I have used Neutrogena and also found it was light and also really greasy. NeoStrata mats well but it does sting when you first apply it.

I've used the Neostrata Face Cream with 10% Polyhydroxy acid for sensitive skin. It worked well, and is more suitable to sensitive skin, without stinging.
