Pros:

- Doesn't leave face shiny
- Feel it working
- Actual moisturizes AND treats acne
- Bottle lasts for a long time if used 2x a day

Cons:

- Some redness/irritation at beginning of use (very small amount)

This is a fantastic product as it combines two very useful actions into one cream! However, this cannot be used by itself as a acne treatment, it's meant to supplement/aid with other acne treatments. I have had a bottle for 9 months now and still have some left over after using it 2x a day. Great product, and would recommend to anyone!

Pros:

-acne looks less red after use
-feels refreshing
-nice soft scent
-skin doesn't dry out
-skin breaks out less

Cons:

-none

It's a great moisturizer for my face, which dries out really easily. It doesn't irritate my skin and I have very sensitive skin. I don't see a huge difference in my acne from this product alone, however it seems like the only moisturizer that doesn't worsen or irritate my skin. My face seems less red after usage which is always a plus.

Pros:

It leaves skin soft, helps to slightly reduce acne

Cons:

caused more acne in areas around the place you put it, like if you had only one pimple and put it on that area that pimple might be gone the next day but there are more surrounding pimples.

I've had mine for a while and haven't ran out. I think this is overal an okay product. After using BP, skin is dry and flaky. This mosturizer makes that area soft and baby smooth. Acne is still there, but your skin is soft. I would use this product combine with others.

Pros:

- Moisturizing
- Doesn't feel oily
- smells good
- refreshing
- helps with acne

Cons:

- none so far

It actually moisturizes!!! It doesn't feel think on my skin. It actually feels refreshing, like my skin is being cleansed while at the same time being moisturized. I love it! At first I was skeptical because every other oil-free moisturizer that I have tried either was not moisturizing enough, or caused me to break-out. But I am now glad I decided to buy this. If it helps, I have combination tan sensitive skin.

Pros:

Keeps acne under control
Minimal Breakouts

Cons:

Has to be used continuously
Doesn't moisturize very much

This product is great at helping keep Acne away, but the Salicylic Acid tends to impair the moisturizing capabilities a little. You can get the generic Target brand for a little less. I sometimes get flaky skin while using it, but nowhere near as bad if I didn't use anything at all. So far, it is the best I have found.

Pros:

mosturizes very well.
its good to use under makeup.
does not make acne worse.
helps prevent new acne.
has a nice scent.

Cons:

not really any acept the pump on mine got stuck a couple of times.

This is a very good mosturizes for people with acne. My acne medicatoin (10% bp) was making my face very dry. This product eliminated that problem. My face felt nice and smooth. It also helps prevent new acne from forming.

i was using proctiv (which i HATE and broke me out once i stopped using the product horribly) and then i have been following the regimen for about three months now trying different stuff....i personally love this moisturizer. not only does it clean my face up from rough breakouts but it also gives me the feeling that it works and i love that. i think the right combo of salicylic and benzol perixode made my face look gorgeous and i really hope it keeps making my face fabulous.

I have loved and cherished this moisturizer for years. Honestly, this has always been the one product that I repurchase over and over again. I've gone to the drugstore at midnight just so I'd have it for school the next day, that's how heavily I relied on it. It works great under makeup and I found that without it my makeup wouldn't apply correctly and my skin would overall look terrible. Up until recently this was the ONLY moisturizer I felt comfortable using on my face. I literally used it twice or more per day for at least 3 or 4 years. Recently though I decided that maybe I should try something different just in case this moisturizer was actually causing my acne. I always have those stubborn whiteheads (closed comedones) and more occasional inflamed breakouts, but since I've stopped using this and switched to Cetaphil (along with the acne.org regimen), my face is looking better and better every day. So unfortunately, for now, I'm putting this lotion to rest because I just don't know if that has been my problem all along or not. I'll probably try it after I'm consistently clear because I really do love this moisturizer like a child and I don't know if it truly breaks me out or not. Try it in a controlled way so you can see whether this causes you problems or not. Hopefully it doesn't because overall it's amazing, I just needed a change.
