Pros:

very light weight, smoothes skin, keeps it clear

Cons:

You don't get the cooling feeling after you use it for awhile.

I absolutley love this product. For the longest time i was looking for a very LIGHT weight mositurizer that kept my skin soft and controlled my small break outs. It doesn't GET RID of my breakouts but when you start using it for awhile you break out much less. It such a great product and i love the sanitary pump packeging. However, everyone's skin is different. I love this . You may hate it. But, i would definately say give it a try!

Pros:

Makes skin feel great.
Does not make face greasy.
Moisturizes very well.

Cons:

None

I really love this. I have very oily skin and acne so I don't like to use moisturizers after I cleanse/exfoliate etc because I fear that the they will moisturize TOO much to the point my skin is oily, but moisturizing is still important. I used this and on the FIRST try my face felt really soft, and it wasn't oily! It didn't feel greasy at all, and it had no oily shine. I really recommend this product to anyone with oily skin!

Surprisingly effective
I received this moisturiser in my stocking this year and honestly, I was skeptical that it would have any effect on my moderate to severe acne as I have tried so many products that claim to clear spots with no success. However, I needed a new facial moisturiser so I thought I'd give it a go. My skin routine is minimal: after removing my makeup at night I apply sudocrem in my problem areas (I've been doing this for years) and I've started to use this moisturiser every morning and to my surprise ever since my skin has cleared up drastically. My skin is now smooth and spot free - I still have a lot of hyper pigmentation but this is easily covered with a thin layer of makeup. The moisturiser has a cooling effect which makes my skin feel refreshed and hydrated and a little bit goes a long way. For £3 I was shocked that this was so effective but am super happy with the results so far :))

Miracle product
When I started using this, I had moderate to severe acne. In my routine, I like to keep things simple with a Cetaphil wash, this moisturizer, and a spot treatment. My dermatologist wanted to take me off all acne medications because she wanted to put me on an antibiotic, and when I stopped using this, I broke out horribly. After 10 months of antibiotics, I stopped the pills and now I'm back to my normal routine and I noticed my skin is starting to clear up again! I cannot believe this product took my skin from moderate/severe to mild and easy to control! It absorbs fast, doesn't leave my skin feeling tight, and even though there was a bit of a purge when I began, the initial effects clear up pretty quick. This product worked wonders on my skin. The effects will vary from person to person, obviously, and even though I use the Target generic brand, it's essentially the same thing, but cheaper!

Pros:

-It has salicylic acid~
-its a gentle moisturiser
-available internationally
-moderately cheap
-Really good with Benzoyl Peroxide
-Recommended to dry and oily skin.. (My brother has dry and I have oily skin yet it works for both of us!!)

Cons:

-My acne gets red but after I apply sunscreen it gets better...
-Stings a bit but my brother who also has acne like it..XD
-Stings moderately with BP

I am Asian and I have oily/combination skin and I suffer from moderately severe acne. I found this site and I decided to start the Regimen but I live in the Middle East so i decided to get some of products from a nearby supermarket. I didnt like this moisturiser at first because it stinged and I changed my moisturisers alot but I always end up using this one... I buy BP from my pharmacist and together they create a good combo.. In the morning, I apply BP, Dual Action Moisturiser and non-comeodogenic sunlotion,(I change sunscreens alot,,) It creates a good combination and I recommend it to young adults of all skin types.. I really want to use Jojoba oil with this because I heard it is really good with moisturiser...

Pros:

Refreshing, feels very light, doesn't make skin oily, helps dry skin, leaves skin soft, no scent, cooling sensation, doesn't clog pores, inexpensive, works well under makeup, comfortable, helps fight spots, sinks in skin, calms breakouts, you can feel it working, nice texture to it, very moisturising.

Cons:

None.

I use Clean & Clear Dual Action Oil-Free Moisturiser which is branded by the same name but given by some of the reviews I think it may be slightly different from the one I purchase in the UK, compared to the one you can purchase in the USA. It's genuinely the best moisturiser I've ever used and I will continue using it. Great for soothing acne and reducing spots as well as keeping skin healthy and soft!

Pros:

Gets rid of dry skin.

Cons:

Doesn't get rid of flaking.

Overall, it worked, a very light moisturizer, but worth the price. I mixed it with Olay Sensiitive Skin Moisturizer.

Pros:

Smells great, doesn't break me out, easy to use, and attractive packaging

Cons:

Hasn't helped my pimples much, no added SPF

Although I probably shouldn't have tried it because salicylic acid really does NOTHING to my skin, I decided to because I'd read great reviews on this moisturizer. If you have mild acne, consider using it as a night moisturizer (it has no added SPF), and do not stop using if it you break out right after starting it. It is an INITIAL BREAKOUT, people! I really hate having to sort through reviews that whine about the person breaking out and then stopping use of the product when they didn't give it much of a chance. If you are interested in trying it, and you haven't yet, why not? Even if it doesn't work for you, then at least you tried.

Pros:

Fantastic Moisturizer, cheap, works very well.

Cons:

Small bottle, but the price justifies it.

Fantastic product, highly recommended. makes skin look better just by being moisturized. I feel that when I use this, my skin does not feel the need to create as much oil as with other acne medications, so new breakouts and such are very minimal.
