Pros:

-Great brand
-No scent
-High SPF
-Thick, sunscreen-like (yet non-greasy) consistency

Cons:

-Burns my sensitive skin

Though I listed five pros and only one con, that one con outweighs them all. The Cetaphil brand has saved my fair, dry, sensitive skin. I use their gentle cleanser, and the spf 15 moisturizer for day as well as the regular moisturizer for night. It's getting into the spring and summer months, so my fair skin (I'm a redhead) needs a higher spf than 15 for the season ahead. I love my spf 15 moisturizer and other Cetaphil products so much, I knew I had to try this. What a disappointment! My sensitive skin has been nurtured by all their other products, but this one really stings my skin! Five minutes after application I could no longer stand it, and I re-cleansed my face and slathered it with their regular moisturzer, and it still took a while for my skin to calm down. I'm really surprised that the Cetaphil brand would make a product like this. It reminds me of that quote, "The food here is terrible. And what small portions!" It's a bad product, it's more expensive than other Cetaphil products, and it comes in a tiny container! Very disappointing for sure! I guess I have to go to the Neutrogena Sensitive Skin Healthy Defense Moisturizer. It comes in the same SPF but doesn't sting at all. Kind of annoying, because I'm big on brand loyalty. Why, Cetaphil? WHY?!?!?!

I tried this for one day and it was all I could do to keep it on my face, I couldn't wait to wash it off. Never have I tried a product that has made my face look so greasy and gross feeling! Not to mention It has caused a nice rash to appear on the right side of my face, TERRIBLE! can't wait to return this awful product.

oily and heavy

I saw someone else write pretty much what I wanted to write too - very heavy and oily on my skin. I couldn't wait to get it off and ironically, that day I did get burned even while wearing it.  Came home and threw it in the trash. Total waste of money.
