Awful...for me....
I've never had burning in my face from any moisturizers until I tried this one. Perhaps it's b/c of the high SPF, but this moisturizer burns my face and even both of my eyes. I did not let it get directly into my eyes, but I think the fact that it's on my face and near my eyes, it burns them very badly. I was so irritated all weekend from this moisturizer that I didn't even leave my house this past weekend. I will definitely discontinue this product and find something else to use.

Pros:

Has SPF
That's about it...

Cons:

It burns!
Makes face itchy and red
It just really, really hurts :(

I used this for a month or so because someone had recommended it. I thought it was normal that my face hurt so bad every time I used it, because maybe my face was just sensitive from using BP or whatever. Uh no!!! Your skin should not hurt from using a moisturizer! Some people really like this and have good results, but for me, I would never ever use this product again. Try a patch test or something if you are considering using this product :)

Pros:

Moisturizes pretty good.

Cons:

Looks a little oily, so you have to put it everywhere to make it match. Makes me breakout in cysts!

Coincidence or not, I decided to try Cetaphil again for a week (it's winter) [I used to use it a year ago and my skin was BAD] and I began to break out the worst I have in quite a while..Once I quit Cetaphil they healed quite fast..I'd avoid at all costs..Neutrogena's moisturizers are much better..I'd suggest the AHA one.

Would not buy again
Made me break out in a bunch of tiny pimples, clogged my pores and made my face greasy throughout the day.

Burns

Cons:

Burns
Makes skin worse

This is horrible! If you use a cream for acne like epiduo (that's what I uses) don't use this! It will burn and will make your skin even dryer than before!

Pros:

readily available
decent price

Cons:

Extremely oily
does not moistruize dry skin well
no physical sunscreens

Pretty sure this clogged my pores and gave me some cysts. Stay away!! CeraVe owns this!! Avebenzone sucks!!

Pros:

Not too greasy.

Cons:

Turns my face red, burns, itches, and dries it out terribly(yeah, i can't explain it either).

Normally i use the Cetaphil cream and it's absolutely amazing, but i ran out and couldn't find any so i grabbed some of this for the time being figuring it should be similar. Wrong. This stuff absolutely destroys my skin. I use only a moisturizer every day and nothing else has changed. I even gave it a second chance just to make sure it was the moisturizer and sure enough, within two days of using it once a day my face was bright red and burning. Seems a few other people have had similar reactions, but many more have had success. Just be careful if you have sensitive skin and start with a small test area.

Pros:

SPF

Cons:

BURNS

I was not surprised to read that a lot of other people experienced burning from this product. It also made my skin very red and shiny. I can't say whether it made my acne any worse because I did not use it for very long. It is not gentle, unlike other Cetaphil products. Not only will I not buy this again, I threw the nearly full bottle out.
