Pros:

Leaves you feeling nice and fresh, never too greasy.

Cons:

It can make your existing pimples a little irritated. :(

It's worth giving it a try, sometimes it works and others not so much.

Pros:

personally, i love the fragrance.
it leaves a nice, cool tingling feel on my face after i apply it.

Cons:

don't put multiple layers on, one is enough.

i find this moisturizer very gentle, and is great for people who only get a bit of acne. it won't however, get rid of your current pimples, but it will prevent future breakouts. i clean/exfoliate my face with clean&clear daily pore cleanser, then apply this. keeps my face clean for quite a bit of time.

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:

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:

Lovely lovely stuff if it works for you...

Cons:

I have none, but I will say it is all diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks... it may not help you as much.

I used this as a teen and then I had many blissful years of good skin... well not anymore... so I thought right, I'll try again. I have been following Dan's regimen, and this is one of two moisturisers that I use (the other is Hamilton Everyday Face SPF30+). After washing with Cetaphil wash, using Benzac 2.5 AC, I then use this if I am wearing make-up with SPF in it, or at night as a light night moisturiser. It is great, a matt finish, you only need a small amount and it doesn't stink. One other thing... the Aussie bottle is better than the US one!! It has a flip top lid, which it stands upon, and this also means that you get every last morsel out, and can handbag/backpack it easily... It is also a lot cheaperthan other medicated moisturisers... I rate it highly, as doo both my sisters...

Pros:

Nice cooling effect. Didn't clog any pores. Didn't aggravate acne.

Cons:

Left a bit of film. Didn't moisturize well enough to be called a moisturizer. It stung a little, and it didn't really do anything for my acne, either.

I remember using this for a bit in high school, and I thought it helped a little, but then my skin started getting drier and drier. I got another bottle recently, since it's cheap, and I was experimenting again. I only have mild acne, and it didn't work for me. I wasn't happy with it at all, so I gave it to my bf's little sister, who had recently gone off some kind of acne medication (I don't know which one). It seemed to work perfectly for her, even better than her prescription! I personally wasn't satisfied with the product, but I could recommend it to others after seeing this.

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:

I love this product! In the past, I was unable to find moisturizers that wouldn't cause me to break out, no matter what the labels said. But this moisturizer works great, has a more than tolerable fragrance, and helps my acne!

Cons:

Almost none! Unlike some people, I haven't had issues with my skin looking oily when using this product. The only thing some people might not like is that it doesn't show immediate results. However, using it regularly I've noticed a HUGE difference.

Use it. It works great, and it's CHEAP. I've only been using it about 2 1/2 weeks and I can see a big difference. However, I've been using this product in addition to Oxy daily wash (also works like a charm) so, my results may be partly thanks to that. But the Oxy facewash dries out my skin, so it's perfect to have this moisturizer to use that I can be sure won't clog my pores and cause breakouts... just the opposite!
