Pros:

Lasts a long time
Actively combats acne
Good texture and thickness
Gives your skin a glow
Oil free

Cons:

Burns a little on application
Not the most effective moisturizer you'll ever use

My skin texture seems more balanced since using this product. It's not the best moisturizer that I've ever used, but I like to think that it helps a bit with my active spots.

Pros:

-easy to apply
-nice and smooth under makeup
-refreshing feel
-its good stuff for clearing heavy acne
-has a good amount of salicylic acid
-cheap
-doesnt leave my face greasy or oily
-easy pump

Cons:

-smells weird
-no spf

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.

Pros:

-Leaves a really nice finish that goes well under makeup
-Provides just enough moisture without looking greasy
-Smells good to me
-Very affordable (I often got it with buy one get one free deals and had an extra on hand)
-Could apply a lot without it feeling gross

Cons:

-Possibly causes breakouts
-Stings eye area
-Applying many layers in a short amount of time could cause balling

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.

Pros:

Great for combination skin, I thought

Cons:

You can be the EXACT same stuff as a generic store brand. Both work amazing, though!!

A really good product, cheaper version available.

Pros:

Moisturizes, makes my skin feel soft, doesn't make my skin worse/breakout, nice smell, don't need to use a lot

Cons:

Doesn't make my skin better either

I've been using this since high school (in my 2nd year of college now). I have experimented with a few other moisturizers, but they either really dry my skin out or make my face extremely greasy. This isn't the best moisturizer, but it works for now. I'm going to be trying Aveeno next, but for now I just keep coming back to this. Maybe it's just that I've been using it for so long, but it never burned my face...

Pros:

Really moistruizes my skin. After I put it on my skin feels very fresh and clean. oh and epecially smooth! I've tried a handful of lotions. None of them compare. It moisturizes my skin exceptionally well, i would definatley recommend it.

Cons:

Even though they say it gets rid of acne it sadly doesn't. After I put it on my face looks a bit shiney. But it wears off after the first 15-20 minutes.

Moisturizes very well. Its also very consistant. It smells pretty good, and keeps my face feeling refreshed all day. Only down side is it doesn't do anything to help with acne. And you have a bit of a shine at first. Other then that its a wonderful product.

Pros:

Seemed to moisturize well, and did not make me beak out

Cons:

kinda greasy

It was a good moisturizer, and it did not make me break out, however it did not seem to clear up any acne either. So i will keep using this, since it does half of what it claims to.
