Pros:

-moisturizes

Cons:

-Does not help acne
-Thick consistency
-Clog pores
-Oily, shiny look

The bottom line is that I bought this because my target did not sell the clean and clear morning burst moisturizer anymore and I was extremely mad about that, so I though cetaphil would help me get that same consistency as the clean and clear and I was wrong. I feel terrible and don't want to waste this moisturizer so I will use it to the last drop, but next time I will get a better moisturizer for sure

Pros:

Moisturizes well

Good sunblock

Cons:

Clogs pores

This product moisturizes your skin very well but it is very heavy and hard to wash off. If you have ACNE dont use this. if you just have skin it's pretty good.

Pros:

moisturizes well

Cons:

not oil free, so will leave shine for dry/extra dry skinned people

i've used this for too many years and finally did research on the ingredients and compared them to neutrogena. basically, one of cetaphil's active ingredients that blocks the suns' rays is oil based. notice how they don't say oil-free, but do say non-greasy...gee, that doesn't make sense. i look like a grease ball after 4 hours of this stuff. time to switch!!

Pros:

No sunscreen fragrance
light and easy to apply
never seemed that greasy

Cons:

minor stinging for the first few uses
made me break out!!!!

I'm a huge cetaphil fan which is why it took me weeks to realize it was my new moisturizer that caused my worst break out in over 10 years!! two days after i stopped using it my skin is already getting back to normal.

Pros:

-Great brand
-Doesn't clog pores
-Absorbs quickly
-Effective moisturizer
-SPF is great for day
-Frangrance free
-Soothes and hydrates my dry, sensitive skin

Cons:

-SPF, so you can't use it at night
-No added fragrance, so it doesn't smell pleasant

I love this moisturizer! I use it every morning following the Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser. I have pretty sensitive skin, and most things make my face sting. This wonderful product actually doesn't sting at all, and I love it! I actually like the consistency much more than the moisturizer I use at night, the regular Cetaphil moisturizer. That seems more like a lotion and takes a while to absorb, but this absorbs quickly (but efficiently... my skin is still very well hydrated) like a good moisturizer should. I need higher SPF when the sun's really hot, but this is the perfect daytime moisturizer for me in the fall, winter, and early spring.

Pros:

Moisturizes skin, doesn't make my skin break out

Cons:

Stings my skin

Sometimes it really stings when I put this stuff on! It always stings a little, but the second my skin gets a little extra sensitive, ouch. It does moisturize alright, but I just wish it wouldn't sting.

Pros:

-It doesn't require a huge amount to do its job
-Works well to prevent flaky skin from my BP and BHA regimen.
-I can use it on top of my BP mask before I go to sleep to keep skin hydrated
-It has sunscreen to prevent acne caused by the sun.

Cons:

-Smells chemical (as others have stated)
-A little greasy if used too much. I usually put it on my face, wait for it to absorb deep into the skin, and then take a light, damp towel to pat away the oily top layer.
- Makes skin shiny sometimes, but this can be remedied with some water some soft cloth (towel, sweater, etc...)

It works well at preventing my irritation, flakiness, and sandpaper texture caused by BP. It has a slight smell, but I usually forget about it, and it is overpowered by other smells such as my shampoo, soap, deodorant, etc... It's a good buy that will not clog pores, and helps to keep skin look healthy. Well for me at least, try other moisturisers to see what works for you.

Pros:

-moisturizes/hydrates very well

-good moisturizer to use when you're using products with benzoyl peroxide in them

-lightweight, so it's good for wearing under foundation

-not very expensive compared to many other moisturizers that lack the same benefits

Cons:

-does have a slightly chemical smell that lingers

Overall, I'd definitely recommend this for hydrating skin that is being treated with benzoyl peroxide and other acne medications. It is a great solution for dealing with flaky skin that results from these drying products!
