Great product
I've used this for years. I stopped using it when I first started the acne.org regimen to make sure I didn't mess up the system, and now that my skin has been consistently clean, I've added the Cetaphil as the last step in my morning routine. Wash, treat, moisturize, then the Cetaphil on top. I'm very fair skinned, so an SPF 30 is a must.

Not good
I liked that it was 30spf but it felt greasy on my face and caused me to breakout.

Was so good for the first few days!
I love how this stuff feels, and it does control oil for me. The only downside is it makes me break out. I got lots of whiteheads after using this for a while and I was so disappointed. I love Cetaphil products but this was a big let down.

Pros:

Not drying
Rids excess oil
Nice consistency

I really do like this moisturizer. It sort of reminds me of the Olay sensitive skin moisturizer with SPF. I like that it has SPF in it, but the consistency of the product is good, though I'm not sure that it feels as well later on during the day. It doesn't feel thick or anything, like some products containing SPF seem to do. I use this, as well as the foaming cleanser. I feel as if they do a good job of ridding excess oil, without being too drying - which is definitely a plus! I have been testing products in different ways, and have noticed that my makeup seems to look as if it is separating in some places - I haven't been able to tell whether this is because of the moisturizer.. hopefully it is because of something else.

Probably does it's job but you can do better

Here in the sunshine state of Queensland not using sunscreen any day you go outside is a guaranteed sunburn within 15 minutes. As a result of the medication I use, namely retinoid creams and various peels my skin is more vulnerable than usual. Wearing this sunscreen was a necessity for some time and I didn't know I could do better. It made me break out every time but I would not risk not wearing it. I could not tell you why it made me break out, my skin just doesn't take well to cetaphil I guess. I gave a different sunscreen a shot and even though it's not great it's still so much better than this. I am looking at buying the la-roche sunscreen now.

Awful
Dermotogists recommend this all the time for people on acutane. If you wanna clog your pores & breakout use this. Stay far away. I use the rest of the bottle I have on neck & shoulders if I'm out at the beach. I wish I could give it 0 stars.

Amazing over benzoyl peroxide
I use this moisturizer over benzoyl peroxide and it works like a charm. I have not experienced any breakouts, and suggest adding a few drops of Argan or Jojoba oil to add extra moisture. I stay in a relatively high uva/uvb climate and since dermacontrol is broad spectrum it helps. I would recommens this to anyone suffering from acne and the sun conscious.

Doesn't cause new breakouts
It is hell trying to find an SPF when you are acne prone. I purchased this on a whim and it seems to working well (and by well, I mean causing no NEW breakouts). I don't think it does much in the "oil control" department, but it doesn't contribute to making it worse. Overall, I'd say it's a safe bet if you are looking for something that isn't going to cause any new acne but will also provide SPF. If I could find something better, I'd happily change though.

Don't hate it, don't love it.
This is a decent product but I would replace it in an instant if I found something better. I like that it has 30 SPF and doesn't leave my face white but this moisturizer does absolutely nothing for my oil. For now this moisturizer will do but I won't miss it when I find something better.

Ehhh...
The product surely feels refreshing when applied, but it also somewhat stings and leaves this oily whiteish finish which I have to rub off. I use it morning and night and it kinda ends up leaving a glowy but more oily kind of look to my face. I currently suffer from Urticaria (chronic hives) around my mouth. The product contains avobenzone which is an Urticaria trigger. I barely have acne so I might change to the Cetaphil Daily Moisturizer SPF 15.
