Pros:

* Doesn't break me out
* Light gel texture
* Fragrance free
* No SPF ( I prefer this)
* Works well with the acne.org regimen
* Affordable (4.2 FL. OZ. for $25 and lasts a long time)
* Available in a smaller and larger size too
* Bottle has pump and is travel friendly
* Yellow color disappears on skin - don't worry!

Cons:

* May not be moisturizing enough for others
* No SPF (some people want SPF in their moisturizer)

This is the only facial moisturizer that doesn't break me out! Believe me, I've tried them all. This gel actually helps with my breakouts. It's anti-inflammatory on my skin. It wears wonderfully over the acne.org benzoyl peroxide treatment. I don't have to worry about it balling up or leaving streaks. It does help with the dryness and flakes, but I also use the acne.org AHA+ and the Clarisonic brush for exfoliation. This gel lightly moisturizes and leaves my skin soft and smooth. Moisturizers with sunscreen tend to make my face oily and break me out, so I appreciate that this product doesn't have SPF in it. Everyone's skin is different, but if you have combination or oily skin, I definitely recommend this. I'm not a big fan of Clinique products, but this gel is great for my oily, acne-prone skin. I hope it works for you as well.

GEL vs LOTION

Pros:

•Smells nice and light.
•Never greasy, always light.
•Not irritating, leaves skin soft.

Cons:

•Easily confused with the lotion.
•Won't do much for acne.

I love them both. I keep a bottle of the gel and the lotion handy at all times. To me, it seems that many reviewers are either confusing the lotion with the gel, or they don't realize that they are two different products. I like to use the lotion at night and the gel in the morning because I feel that it wears a bit better under my foundation. In the winter I use strictly the lotion, and in the summer.. (you guessed it) I use only the gel. Neither are effective on extremely dry skin. They are mostly for maintainence/prevention. If you are experiencing dryness from a BP regimen, this gel will not help you. Perhaps try the lotion version instead.

My holy grail.
I went through plenty of facial moisturizers and this one was by far the best. I have mild acne (cystic, whiteheads, hyper pigmentation etc) and very sensitive skin (eczema, scars easily etc) and cliniques gel and lotion are the only products that don't make my skin extremely oily or dry. They also don't "feel" heavy. I have never once regretted using clinique on my face - this is the same product my mom has used for 35 years. Will likely never stop buying.

My absolute favorite moisturizer
I am completely in love with this product! I have a mixed skin, prone to acne, and this is my absolute favorite moisturizer! This feels very "light" on your face, and not oily at all! Would highly recommend it!

Pros:

- Good for oily skin
- Super lightweight gel formula
- Leaves my skin soft and moisturized

Cons:

- A tad expensive

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! I have never changed my moisturizer after using this. If you have oily skin, then this will probally be a good moisturizer for you seeing as it's in a gel formula and feels very light and not greasy. However I guess it's a bit expensive compared to most drugstore moisturizers, but it's totally worth it and I don't mind spending extra if it's for my skin.

Love it!
My night skin care routine- cetaphil gentle skin cleanser with clarisonic, Rentin-a 0.025 %, and this. I really like this moisturizer! It's really light and refreshing, because I use Rentin-a it can dry out your skin ( it hasn't for me yet {I have been using it for 3 days} ) this will hopefully be moisturizing enough if that happens. I only have to use 2 pumps so a little goes a long way! Not too fond of the smell but it doesn't linger at all. Great moisturizer at the moment!

Smoothes skin
Oil-free

Cons:

I have been using this stuff for years! However, I have figured out the secret! Add Jojoba oil to it and its the BEST moisturizer I have found. Its a gel, so its not super moisturizing, which is good for oily skin or summertime. But since its winter now, I have been adding Jojoba and it is PERFECT. My face is feeling super smooth and clear and quenched! :) I love this stuff so much, and for me its worth every penny and last for like 4 months at least. Add the jojoba if you need more moisture, which you probably do if using BP (which i am)

Just an overall amazing moisturizer for combination/oily skin! It's a bit expensive, but it is totally worth it and you only need a pump or two for full face coverage.

THIS CHANGED THE GAME

iv'e pretty much always had acne. I used to think i shouldn't moisturize (like most of us) my breakouts were getting worse and my skin was peeling & dry. I decided it was time and my my mother recommended it. MY FACE was so freakin moisturized when i used it that following night. Plus, the bottle lasts over a couple month PLUS with me, my brother, and my mom using it. Fast forward about 1 year later, i still have breakouts but it is 10x better than before. I didn't use moisturizer for a long time because I was scared of it. DONT BE. just because u have acne. your skin needs it after u wash ur skin. SO be good to ur skin! And never give up the fight. im sure glad that i didnt!
