Pros:using this since 4months, & it is terrific.significantly improve my skin cpmlexion though i m asian.it works on asian skin also very well. its really even out my skin tone ans lustre. it is a light lotion indeed.
Cons:only thing is uncomfortable with its smell & though it is light,its left a greasy feeling after 2/3hours, but immediately it well absorbs.also it is very pricy hear, cause unavalabily.i would request neutrogena to export in asian countries as well.
Bottom Line:highly recommended to those who really wants a better solution for thier delicate skin. as a chemist,i can say that most ingredients of this product are effective, unique and gentle, without the preservative which we cant ignore for any other brand indeed.thanks neutrogena. and pls think for asian skin also with this same formulae of chemicals.

Cons:It smells horrible and it can burns a little sometimes.
Bottom Line:Good, especially for flakes, but not great.

Pros:Definitely helps fade hyperpigmentation, but does so slowly, you really start to see improvement after 4-5 weeks.

Makes your skin ULTRA SMOOTH
Cons:I can only find it in a small 2.5 oz bottle size

Did cause mild irritation the first few times especially, and caused very light redness for an hour or so after application for the first couple weeks.
Bottom Line:If you are willing to ease your skin into it, and get used to the immediate irritation it causes until your skin is used to it, it does wonders for mild/moderate hyperpigmentation and smooths out your skin.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:David has used this item for a few months.

Pros:Works well. Light and not too shiny. (I never even noticed a smell.) Great thing: they have SPF for day and a non-SPF for night. Am very pleased to have an alpha hydroxy that keeps my skin looking fresh while keeping my pimples away.
Cons:It's no Eucerin, but it definitely takes the place until Dan finishes up his magic formula.
Bottom Line:I tried the Cetaphil and wasn't happy with the fact that it lacked the Alpha Hydroxy. I was a devout Eucerin user and was totally bummed when it went away. I am very much looking forward to Dan's moisturizer but will keep on using this product until Dan's is available.

Thank you Dan for making all of this information available to the public. You are so appreciated! The regime truly works and you have done so much for my self-esteem. It's really tough looking in the mirror and despising what you see and not being able to do anything about it (except take medication which is worse for you in the long run). I rave about acne.org and will keep on buying your products, not only in gratitude, but because THEY WORK! :-)

Pros:Inexpensive, effective, lasts a long time
Cons:no expiration date, the sunscreens used do not cover all of the UVA spectrum, sunscreens can irritate
Bottom Line:I have used this twice a day for about the past 8 years.
The 2 main benefits of it are: A. acne reduction by clearing out the pores and tightening them, B. smoothing lines and discoloration (age spots).
I am 40 in a few months but everyone thinks I look 30. I think the combination of my religious sunscreen usage along with the AHAs in this lotion has kept my skin looking young and even during my 30s.
I have very oily skin and hair, and I also have needed to use 10% benzoyl peroxide on my face every night for the past 25 years.
A few months ago I began to get a different kind of breakout than I normally do, and after doing some reading on the internet, I wondered if it was a reaction to the sunscreen in this lotion. I stopped using it to see. After a few months of not using it, I can say that my pores are bigger, I have more lines, I am getting age spots especially on my cheeks (even my new roommate of 6 weeks commented on my age spots that are developing!), and more pi
