Pros:

Goes on nicely and absorbs well.
It's very light and has a nice smell.
It helps with dryness or flakiness.
Skin feels hydrated after using it.
Cheap.

Cons:

It can make the skin look quite sweaty, especially on a sunny day.
Sometimes requires reapplying in the middle of the day.
The product itself is small and does not last long if used morning (on days without sun) and night.

I've used this on and off for around 2 years and for the price it certainly does a decent job. I've found it works well to control flakiness, especially if on benzoyl peroxide. The problem is if your skin can be oily, this will make it look slightly worse. This moisturiser can give a "sweaty look" to your face as if you've been working out, but if used sparingly and rubbed in gently enough it's just a light shine that is manageable.

Pros:

Oil-Free (Important while suffering from acne)
Sunscreen
Hydrates
Smoothes and evens out skin tone
Helps during Benzoyl peroxide 2.5% regime
Absorbs quickly
No oily face

Cons:

Small tube, could do with a palmers size! (hint hint Neutrogena)

Basically the one I brought isn't exactly this item but very similar. The one I'm using is named "Visibly Clear Oil-Free Moisturiser" I started the BP Regime 2 weeks ago and the moisturiser i was using before "Palmers" was too oily for my face and I didnt want to ruin my progress of fighting the acne! So I brought this one I have only been using this product for a week during the BP Regime and it seems to be working just great. I do use 3 times a day though. Be sure to give it a try what halm can it do.

Pros:

Fragrance Free
Feels Light
None-Greasy

Cons:

Doesn't hydrate my dry skin enough
When used in the regimen (after BP)
• Strange tingling sensation which can be quite overwhelming on cold days
• A bit of facial reddening

When I use this straight after my cleanser - it's great, but when used after BP, it caused a burning sensation and some reddening, think an active ingredient in this doesn't agree with BP.

Pros:

Goes on smooth, absorbs well, smells good, has salicylic acid

Cons:

doesn't moisturize as good as say Lubriderm. Small 1.7 oz tube for around $5 - $7 depending on where you get it. Cannot find it in stores. Must get it online.

Bottom line is it doesn't moisturize as good as say Lubriderm but I like that fact that it has Salicylic acid in it and is working for me throughout the day. A little expensive for the size of the tube but I have had good results with it so you cannot put a price on that. I use this along with Neutrogena Oil-Free Acne Wash in the liquid pump.

Pros:

its OK - cheap product

Cons:

cheap

I am 35 with olive skin. I still get light acne and my skin does NOT like heavy creams as each attempt has been accompanied with breakouts. I have used various fade-creams in the past, but found them to be too heavy for all over face use, yet at 35- I need all-over moisture! I recommend the Rosehip & Hibiscus Serum (from the Made from Earth skin care line) which is non-greasy and my skin looked significantly better after only two days of use- more even toned and bright, less dull and splotchy. I have a patch of melasma on my upper lip (due to 15 years of being on the pill) and after a week I have noticed that it has markedly faded and my face seems much more elastic and vibrant. I highly recommend it! you can find them at [link removed].

Pros:

great scent. absorbs nicely on skin. helps fight acne. the reddness in on my face decreased within the first two days.

Cons:

I cannot find this moisturizer anywhere. I have looked at every drug store and grocery store within a 20 mile radius. Ordering it online gets expensive.

worth the extra hassle to order.

Pros:

It absorbs fast, it gives a fresh feeling and it smells good.

Cons:

Doesn't work a lot on acne. However I think it makes them a little bit smaller.

I wouldn't recommend this product since I've found similar products (from Yves-Rocher) that is only slightly more expensive than this moisturizer.
