So far, this product feels like a bargain. Compared to Garnier's gel moisturizer, it moisturizes more, and compared to Neutrogena/Olay's basic lotions, it doesn't feel as greasy.
Also, they have either reformulated or the others are mistaken: there is no salicylic acid.
I think I have finally found a moisturizer I can keep... my only regret is that I didn't try it sooner!
Pros
Came bundled with Spectro gel cleanser for only $9 at Wal-mart
Skin absorbs the lotion quickly
Sits well under makeup
Not greasy, less shine on my face as the day goes on
Unscented
Cons
Spectro's products can run a bit expensive
moderate
for about a week
$ 9
I recommend using this treatment.

It seems that this moisturizer (the purple bottle) was made for people with very oily skin. I have "normal" skin, and for me it didn't moisturize well enough, especially since my skin gets dried out from the BP. I have not tried the orange bottle, but I assume that it would moisturize more than this one. Also I found that it didn't get completely absorbed and would leave a residue on my skin, which I could feel the next time I would wash my face.
Pros
Light, Non-greasy, doesn't irritate skin or cause acne
Cons
Leaves a residue, doesn't moisturize very much.

I mix lots of tea tree oil with this moisturizer and it works just as well as BP, if not better. Tea tree oil has similar effects to BP only it's very healthy for skin. Benzyl peroxide can be very damaging to skin long term. It produces radicals which, much like harmful sun rays, can cause premature aging.
Pros
Moisturizing, absorbing, nice minimal shine.
Contains salicylic acid which helps eradicate acne.
Cons
not cheap
moderately severe
for about a month
$ 10
I recommend using this treatment.

Needs a little help from a non-medicated moisturizer if you have dry skin. I would only recommend using it at night because it contains salicylic acid.
