Pros:

none

Cons:

new sunscreen ingredient, greasy

I, like others, are very upset that J&J changed this formula. I cannot use it now, as the new sunscreen and formula make my face extremely greasy and caused little bumps to appear on around my frown lines, nose, and cheeks. After 2 hrs. of wearing this stuff, I literally wanted to take a washcloth and scrub my face at work. It felt so heavy, cakey, and sticky. After I started noticing the pimples, I quit using it.

Pros:

Nice to have an SPF
Quality Ingredients

Cons:

Unneccesary for night time
Sub-par moisturizing action

I'm a guy who needs quite a bit of moisturizer after showering and/or applying treatment. While this product did an adequate job, I need a product which allows me to put on a liberal amount without looking oily. If you don't need the SPF, pass on this product.

Pros:

spf, lightweight, does not clog pores

I had severe acne in middle school once I hit puberty. I've been using this along w/ Cetaphil & Clinique products. Now I'm Acne Free for over 8 years. Yay!

Pros:

At this point I don't have any pros

Cons:

This lotion was working for me up until some time last year when I began to break out. I had no idea what was breaking me out until I read all of these reviews. I can't believe they would change an ingredient that so many people are allergic to. I have had itchy rashes on my face and very large itchy eczema patches on my neck for a while now. It's a horrible horrible lotion.

DON'T get this product. If you have sensitive skin like me and many on here it can harm you more than help u. My face was burning and itching and still is at the moment. I am about to call the company and file a complaint. Once again BUYER BEWARE of this lotion.

Pros:

It moisturizes my skin after apply BP. I use it during the day and at night. It's great because it has the SPF. I use the newer version called Redness Reducing Moisturizer with SPF 30 because of the higher SPF. It does not make me break out.

Cons:

Nothing really.

Been using this for 20 years!

Pros:

light, doesnt leave your face too oily

Cons:

leaves a nasty film on your face, turns it red/orange, does not moisturize well at all

I think i may be allergic to this moisturizer. I have extremely oily skin. I have tried putting this on my face 3 different times, for a few days in a row each time. Every time, my face gets progressively redder by the day, my skin looks like it has some nasty film on it that can't be washed off, and it does not do a very good job at moisturizing because i still peel when i have it on. The redness reducing moisturizer from Purpose is far better, even though it is more oily.

Pros:

Doesn't have a wierd smell. Hypoallergenic. SPF of course.

Cons:

Doesn't absorb well. It tends to ball up instead of smoothing over face. Makes skin white and clings to any zits you may have making them look just odd. May make other areas of skin look super greasy.

I believe there are much better moisturizers out there that offer alot of the same benefits.I'm disappointed by the results from such a trusted company.

Average
I picked this up one day without every hearing of the brand before. I was excited to use it, because it was my first moisturizer that wasn't loaded with fragrance and chemicals, and I had high hopes for how it would work on my skin. I will agree with a previous reviewer, if you're medicated (with anything, really, in my experience) this may not be the best option for you. It did burn my face like crazy once I started using topical treatments prescribed to me or any OTC spot treatments, etc. However, before I started using those things, it was pretty great. It's heavier, and I do remember it making my face a bit oily/greasy. I think for someone with dry skin like me, it would be good to use before applying makeup so that there isn't any flaking, but I don't think that I ever wore this out on a naked face, because it looked just like I had applied an actual sunscreen to my face. I think it would be great for the winter or for people who have very, very dry skin. (however, if your skin is raw it's gonna burn like hell so I would stick to something like Cerave) IMHO, I agree with another reviewer that said that if you don't need the SPF, you should pass on this product. While it works, there are better options out there for the same (or lower) price.

Pros:

Not heavy or oily. Light and excellent cover.

Cons:

Not being able to find this product in most drug stores- most drug stores only stock the "Purpose Gentle Cleansing Wash". The wash is also excellent.

Excellent product. Recently, I have not been able to find this product in most drug stores.
