Pros:

cute bottle, 1 pump is all u need for my face, doesnt really moisturize that well, helps acne a tiny bit

Cons:

works really slowly, i used nivea body moisturizer and it made my face smoother than clean and clear but its not a face moisturizer, sorta burns when i apply it (maybe its cause i have sensitive skin)

its cheap (i actually payed $6.24 becuz i got a discount), smells nice uhh i dunno it doesnt really work.. takes really slow

Pros:

It moisterized really well. It did what it said it would do.

Cons:

It burned my skin a little after applying bp, but the derm says that is natural and expected, so no biggie.

Use it! It is very good to moisterize skin. I have combination oily, dry, and normal skin, and it works well on all of them. The best regemin for your own skin type is on [link removed]. You choose your skin type and what type of acne and it creates your personalized routine. It's awesome.

Pros:

- smells good
- it works ok, good for light acne
- It does moisturize skin and kills acne without being oily

Cons:

- too little salicylic acid to be very effective, I have to use with Neutrogena's Oil free acne wash
- it burns sometimes!

Unless you have very light acne, use with another acne product with salicylic acid. Not very effective on its own, but still good to use.

Pros:

nice texture, goes on pretty darn matte for a moisturizer, CHEAP!, would be a good moisturizer for someone with very oily skin

Cons:

not very moisturizing for someone who uses large amounts of benzoyl peroxide or has dry skin, the 0.5% salicylic acid in it doesn't do very much besides dry your skin out

This was the moisturizer I used as my only topical treatment for several months between recovering from Proactiv and starting the regimen. It did as good of a job as Proactiv did at managing my acne, which isn't to say very much of course, but kind of impressive for a $5 drugstore moisturizer. I kept using it when I started Dan's regimen, though, which was a mistake because between my skin adjusting to large amounts of BP and the harsh winter weather at the time, my face was crying for help. It just wasn't doing the job. I was red and flaky and not very comfortable until I switched to another moisturizer. After I switched I was like, oh, THAT'S what real moisturizer feels like. That said, I do think this product is good for someone with a very oily skin type who is not trying to deal with flakiness, but just wants a basic moisturizer for whatever reason. It is pretty matte, it definitely has that going for it.

Pros:

Smells great and definitely works, if and only if you wash your face before using! I can not stress this enough, wash your face because it cannot clean out pores itself. If you do, you will notice a difference OVERNIGHT, I promise.

Cons:

Does not work itself, you must wash first.

Use it if you are responsible and hygenic. It is not a miracle 6$ formula. But it does help.

Pros:

This moisturizer worked very well. It was oil free and left my skin feeling nice, and it helped prevent future breakouts.

Cons:

Nothing!!!

Use it! It works and it's a very nice (affordable) moisturizer. Try it, you'll see results!

Pros:

-very light
-good for summer
-a little moisturising and good for a little zits
-refreshing

Cons:

-doesn't moisturise your skin THAT well
-doesn't stay on for long
-a bit pricey compared to the price that other people paid.

this moisturiser is pretty good because it's very light! it's not like a deep moisturiser, and good for summer. i dont have any zits except the tiniest little ones, and it helps :) but i cant say much because i've only used it once

Pros:

It smells great and makes my skin feel smooth and clean.

Cons:

It didn't take away the redness on my face like all moisturizers are SUPPOSED to do.

It's okay, so far. But, I've only used it once so there's nothing really worthy of complaining about. I guess I have to give it time.

Pros:

-Worked like a cham for me until a few years ago.

Cons:

-It doesn't work for me anymore.

This was the best product for me all through junior high and high school. I used to swear by it. The chemistry of my skin has changed and my acne has taken a turn for the worst not, and this product is no longer enough. I love this stuff. It makes the skin feel really clean because of the tingle, but it is not overly drying.

Cons:

WORKS SLOWLY.

BUY IT ITS CHEAP AND MAKES YOUR FACE FEEL AMAZING.
