Pros:

It has sunscreen and is made with a convenient pump.

Cons:

It made my skin burn after use. It's also quite expensive for such a small bottle.

I read the good reviews so I decided to try it along with the Cetaphil cleanser. I only used it for a couple of weeks. I used it at around the same time I started to use Retin-A, which made my skin break out pretty badly. I don't know if the lotion had any particularly adverse effects on my skin, but it did burn (which is kind of strange for a lotion for sensitive skin). The burning sensation only lasted for a few minutes, but since other lotions I've tried don't have that effect I decided to discontinue use.

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.

Works for my dry skin
This product works for me, I tend to have very dry skin and during the winter I need a really thick moisturizer. I use this in the evening and in the morning I actually use Eucerin Dermo Purifyer instead, because the Cetaphil one feels a bit too thick to wear during daytime. But it's a simple product that does what it says it does.

Not Sure How I Feel...
I have been using this moisturizer in combo with Tactuo and quite honestly believed that the reason my face stung so much when I applied this on was due to the dryness of my face from the Tactuo. When I switched to a new moisturizer I realized the stinging was in part from the Cetaphil. On a sunny day if I'm going outside I will definitely use this as it noncomodogenic as well as having a built in sunscreen. When I'm staying inside though I would recommend a different moisturizer.

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:

Very Moisturizing
SPF Protection
Non Comedogenic

Cons:

Stings/Burns upon application
Takes a while to absorb

I bought this moisturizer for the SPF protection and because it didn't have any other acne fighting ingredients such as salicylic acid in it, which can over dry your skin. It really helps my skin stay hydrated and gives it a nice glow, but it does sting a little upon application (doesn't last very long) and takes a while to absorb. I will continue using this product unless I find one that offers the same benefits without the side effects.

Pros:

- SPF protection
- Goes on smooth
- Decent job preventing flakes
- Has not caused breakouts
- Goes on shiny but dries

Cons:

- The dispenser is not good for traveling
- Could moisturize more
- Burns if it gets in your eyes (like all sunscreen)

I really wanted SPF in my moisturizer, so I got this one even though acne.org says it can sometimes cause breakouts. I wanted to give it a try. This moisturizer is pretty thick, and it does keep my flakes at bay. It could be a bit more moisturizing, though. I don't notice a whole lot of shine once this product dries. I have not had any breakouts since using it. DO NOT put it anywhere near your undereye or eyelid area. Inevitably, some will get in your eye and it REALLY STINGS. It does not sting on my face, but boy does it irritate the eyes.

Pros:

- Light Weight
- Very Moisturizing
- SPF 15
- Doesn't Clog Pores
- Fragrance Free
- Helped Reduce Dry Patches on Skin
- It has a Pump

Cons:

- None that I can think of

After having a bad experience with Eucerin Everyday Protection Face Lotion I decided to use this to help my dry face recover. I like this product a lot because it really moisturized my skin and helped reduce the dry patches on my face. It also has SPF which also helps with acne because it protects your skin from the sun which helps reduce hyperpigmantation and worsening of acne. It also didn't cause any acne as far as i could. It really was great for my sensitive dry skin.

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!!
