I have combination skin. There are many better moisturizers out there. (It sounds like CeraVe is the way to go.)

Pros:

+ (I'm coming up with a blank)

Cons:

+If you have sensitive skin DO NOT USE
(dries and irritates skin while making it more oily)
+If you live in a dry climate DO NOT USE (you need an actual moisturizer and this will not do the trick)
+Caused break outs
+"Moisturized" skin while also causing irritation and redness

Okay, this is a biased review, keep in mind: I have very sensitive skin to fragrance and this one is harsh. I don't believe in moisturizers with ingredients that also dry your face (what's the sense in that?) I am also in a dry climate, so I actually need a moisturizer. My skin was greasy and oily long after use, while also burning. (If you can imagine that feeling...it's not a good one) I broke out in the first couple days of use on areas of my skin that weren't that dry. As for the areas that were dry, it did help but after a couple of hours of burning. It's inexpensive and sounds like the perfect combo. But not for my skin.

Pros:

-It was on sale.
-Nice bottle.
-Convenient.

Cons:

-It made my face peel off.
-It made my face feel wrinkly when I made face expressions.
-It dried out my face overall.

If you don't have much acne, it is probably the worst moisturizer EVER. It dries out your face and it makes your face feel very wrinkly. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT IF YOU HAVE LITTLE ACNE.

Not for people with sensitive skin
I bought this after i lost my other moisturizer. The first day my skin felt smooth but still kind of dry. After the fourth day of using this it caused dry patchy spots in my skin and a big noticeable rash on both sides of my face. The rashes didn't go away for 2 weeks and caused a trip to the dermatologist. I had only used this product once a day for four days. Keep in mind that i do have sensitive skin but no other product has caused it to react in this way. So in conclusion it may work well for people that don't have sensitive skin. Only 1 out of 5 stars from me.

crappy product.
So my skin type is very oily but also flaky, a really gross combo IMO. I get pretty much all types of acne; tons of blackheads, many whiteheads, cysts on the rare occassion. This moisturizer didn't make me breakout anymore than I already do but it didn't help either. At first when applied it feels hydrating, but it dries up quickly. If you don't have flaky/dry skin, then this might be nice to help rid of whiteheads without excessively drying out your skin. Otherwise it kinda sucks. Also if you use more than the tiniest amount of it or apply any makeup product on top, it peels off in little filmy white chunks. Just gross, but you get what you pay for I guess.

Try using Noxema. You can find it at Walmart. Great for sensitive skin.

Dried out my skin, made my chin acne worse
This product dried out my skin. It also has this chemically scent which I'm not a fan of. I bought it because i needed a moisturizer. I had bumps on my chin, the next day they were inflamed and red, some with heads. I wouldn't recommend this unless they reformulate it and maybe add in some spf for daily use. It's not great for people with sensitive skin either since it can be irritating. I have moderately sensitive skin.

Pros:

Smells Good

Cons:

Didn't help with any pimples
Made skin appear oily
Dry red skin
Made me breakout mroe

This didn't help me at all. It was good for a little bit but then I started having to put more and more on because my face had gotten so dry. I would not recommend this to people with severe acne and sensitive skin

Pros:

- absolutely none

Cons:

- skin dried out shortly after application
- doesn't have spf
- doesn't help acne at all
- horrible, cheap ingredients
- uncomfortable sensation on skin

This thing is totally not worth the buy. It moisturizes at first when you apply it, but 5 minutes later i found myself with dry skin that was starting to peel. The ingredients in this product are cheap and can harm your skin, even if you do not have sensitive skin. It did not help my acne at all. In fact, i think it made me break out. When you first apply it, it has a really weird tingly sensation. I tend to like things that feel tingly on my skin (like cleansers and other moisturizers), but this just felt really uncomfortable. It was not a burning sensation, just an indescribable tingle. Really weird. Anyway, don't waste your money on this. Oh, by the way if it helps, I have combination/dry skin with light acne.

This product burned my daughters face, not just turned it red but actually burned her face. Today is the 4th day and her cheeks and chin are still very, very red. It stings and also dried her face out. Never again will I buy any medicated product over the counter.
