Light enough to know it's not creating an oil slick, yet heavy enough to moisturise my combination skin. A bit too expensive, but it is lasting a long time. I would definately consider buying it again

Horrible! My skin is very dry and flaky around the mouth and chin and this product is way _too_ light to sufficiently repair my skin. Instead, it made me breakout. When I stoped using it, I stopped breaking out in the areas I was applying this product. NOT recommended.

I love this moisturizer! I have used many others but they always seem so thick and seem to weigh down my face (if that makes any sense.) But this lotion is so lightweight! I love it.

I used this moisturizer on one side of my face and the Aveeno ultra-calming with a spf15 on the other. Aveeno broke me out and didn't moisturize as well as the Neutrogena side- even when the Neutrogena side is worse in terms of breaking out. After that, I was convinced. It does seem a bit oily and I do not really like how my skin looks after I apply it- but it moisturizes and doesn't break me out which so far, is the best situation yet.

I was very reluctant to use this product at first having read a majority of the comments and then those about the Cetaphil Daily Facil Moisturizer, but went ahead and tried this instead. My face was extreamly dry and flaky just after 4 days of starting the Clear Skin regimin. I have been using this moisturizer for 4 days now and my skin is back to normal, no more flaking or dryness. It has really helped me. You will get a little shine in the late afternoon, but just dab it off, or just don't use so much because a little goes a long way. You can also smell the sunscreen when you are applying it to your face. It's not too bad and it goes away after a while. I also bought the Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion, and I use a little of that on my face at night so I don't feel so dry. That's working so far - no complaints from me.

I have always used this product and had no problems but now I am on the CSR it just does not seem enough to get rid of the dry skin. In my experience it also does not mix in well with BP.

I am now going to give the other recommended moisturizers a try to see if they alleviate the dryness.

Goes on light, very emulsified, skin doesn't feel greasy and other than being overpries I like it.

I have sensitive but oily skin. The regimen works great. But I cannot use any moisturizer with spf chemicals; they irritate my skin and cause a mild burning sensation. My wife is a dermatologist and likes the regimen but suggested that those of us with sensitive oily skin stick with a non-spf moisturizer like Neutrogena Oil Free for Sensitive Skin or the regular Cetaphil moisturizer. I use about a dime size amount of Cetaphil for my entire neck and face. I'm a litle shiny by mid-day, but a blot or two during the day to make my face look less shiny is much better than struggling with acne.

I have experienced no stinging as other people have complained about. It goes on really easy and you don't need to use a lot. It doesn't have an oily consistency but after a while your face may feel a little oily. I think its WAY better than the cetaphil spf 15 though!! Cetaphil was so thick and greasy. This one is good.

I have read through everyone's comments on this product, and have taken in that it stings sensitive skins, is greasy for oily skins, but is reasonable for dry skins.
For myself, having oily but sensitive skin, I have been using this product for well over 6 months. Let it be known that it isn't my primary moisturiser. I don't even treat it as one. I use another Neutrogena moisturiser (one suitable for acne-prone skin. In Australia, it's called the SkinClearing Moisturiser. I think the American equivalent is the Multi-Vitamin formula, as displayed on their website.), and another 'Anti-Shine Moisturiser' made in France (my mum is a beautician).
I simply use the Neutrogena SPF 15 as an ADDITION to my moisturiser, because of the sunscreen aspect. I cannot stand the idea of being old and wrinkly beyond my age. But, I agree with many people here, it is greasy. It might be my skin, but no matter what moisturiser I use, my face is always oily at the end of the day. It also has the sunscreen smell, when applied, but is better than other sunscreens+moisturisers. I use a small amount of my forehead, nose and cheeks, and find that it doesn't sting or burn. If I can remember, the first time I applied it, my skin did have a reaction, and turned slightly red and blotchy, but now it's fine.
I recommend other Neutrogena products (I use the Oil-Free Acne Wash daily), but as for this SPF 15 moisturiser, I would only use sparingly.
