An exceptional product that delivers. Have used this lotion for a few years and am always being complimented on my skin.
The stinging sensation mentioned in some posts can be minimized by waiting approximately 10 minutes after you dry your face.
Also, if you really want to treat acne combine this with a salicyclic acid toner (don't use if allergic to aspirin)and/or a benzoyl peroxide (5% lotion). It's a harsh regime so be careful. Do toner, then BP. Wait 10 minutes and apply Healthy Skin

I picked this stuff up one week ago today and i have to say it is the best product i have ever used. I have many many many red spots, and in one week they have decreased in size and become much more skin colour. Id say it's improved 25% so far and i am rally happy with it. I use it and i am on accutane however i dont apply it for very long and i spot-treat. Pick this up it is perfect for accutane users with red spots!

Just bought this product because my neck turned red and flakey after using the clearasil ultra crap. Every other moisturizer I used would work for like 30 min. and wouldn't heal the redness. After 10 min. of using this stuff my neck is smooth, the flakes are gone, and theres no red. My skin looks great. I would def. give this stuff a shot!

Works well as a mositurizer, still seeing if it will help fade the leftover red marks that I have so much of. This product really burns though.

I used this product in the summer months after having seen a show saying that AHA's were great and to use an SPF in my moisturizer. Within 1 week I had tiny bumps - not pimples - but bumps all through my t-zone. They are getting better but have still not subsided. The cream did sting on application and the fragrance was not one I'd look for again.

i tried this product for one day and one night while on the regimen, when i usually use the regular neutrogena oil-free moisture. the night i used it i woke up with a few new breakouts and didn't think anything of it. that day, however, i used it again on the regimen and went to work with relatively clear skin. after a five hour shift i got home and had tiny breakouts ALL over my face!!! now i'm scared to try this product again! aside from that, it does burn a lot, feels sort of greasy, and is a little expensive.

This lotion isn't my cup of tea. The AHA does produce some harsh stinging, but nothing really painful. I wouldn't mind this lotion at all if it didn't make my face so reflective. I was really disappointed when I seen my skin shimmering with light. This may not bother girls that can put make-up on over it, but we guys can't have it! The smell is... unique I guess. After applying, my face appears to have a fresh sunburn on it that goes away with time. My skin stays moisturized for a long time after applying it and, so far, it hasn't caused me any break-outs. Also, the price isn't bad when compared to other moisturizers. In conclusion, if you don't mind some massive reflection and you can handle the sting of AHA, this might be the product for you.

This is by far the best moisturizer I've used. This beats Eucerin Skin Renewal with SPF 15. Smells a bit like soap, fells great, not oily or gooey. Goes on very easily and doesn't make face sticky or oily. Works very well for flaky skin during the winter months. Highly recommended.
Pros:
-smells great
-contains AHA and 8% Glycolic Acid to clear red marks
-not oily or sticky
-goes on clear and absorbs immediately

Cons:
-$9 is a bit expensive (I got it from walmart. It costs $12 elsewhere)
-No expire date on bottle. They do give you a LOT number, which tells you when this is made. LOT 1285 would mean that this was made on the 128th day of 2005. I called neutrogena, and the shelf life for this is 2 or 3 years
-Might sting a bit, but not much
