Cons:

not enough moisturizing (especially important if you use Benzoyl peroxide). Seems to leave a chalky colour on the face. Doesn't act like a good base for makeup.

This is actually quite a shame because i LOVE the purpose gentle cleanser its the best i've ever used. However this moisturizer is so gross. I have 3 different moisturizers at home and this is the worst. It doesn't spread well- it dries really fast and leaves a whitish hue. It barely does its job with moisturizing. In fact, when i put my makeup over it, it was so patchy and exaggerated the dry patches. I would never ever recommend this to people with dry-combo skin(from using BP), and to women who wear powdered makeup. Its honestly a waste of money, trust me.

Pros:

Lightweight, little bit goes a long way, does not make my skin greasy or break out, no fragrance, easy to "lock" for travel purposes

Cons:

A bit pricey, does not need to be sold in a box (excess packaging)

I have finally found my perfect moisturizer! I have normal to oily skin. I had trouble finding a moisturizer that was oil free, had SPF 15 and didnt make my shiny. I tried Cetaphil SPF 15 (made me VERY greasy) and Eucerin Q10 SPF 15 (not bad but this is way better). I imagine if you have dry skin that this might not moisturize as much as you need, but if you have oily or normal skin that doesnt need tons of moisture and are looking for something with and SPF and is lightweight, this is it! Love it, love it, love it! Using in combo with Purpose cleanser. Together are a great combo.

Pros:

This moisturizer goes on evenly and doesn't leave me greasy or dry. It isn't thick or gooey as some have stated. I've never turned orange with it--that must be a caucasian problem. It's easy to find; every Target and Wal-Mart (gag!) carries it.

Cons:

Kind of pricey. About $7.50-$8.00 a bottle... but it does last for a very long time. I buy about two or three a year.

It's a great basic moisturizer that doesn't clog pores, doesn't contain fragrance, and doesn't cause breakouts.

Pros:

Works well.

Cons:

Poor consistency makes it a pain to work into skin without leaving white gunk on your face. Seems to change a strange color when exposed to a lot of sun.

Try something else.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

I broke out in red, oozing hives after ONE application. My dermatologist told me to discontinue immediately (duh) and gave me a prescription pill of some sort, and said I was really lucky scarring didn't ensue.

BAD product! NEVER EVER buy!

Pros:

no pros, except perhaps availability (any drug store) and low cost.

Cons:

caused an itchy, red reaction on areas of my face. aside from that left a greasy, shiny film.

I think my allergic reaction was caused by the titanium dioxide, as I seem to break out in a rash from mineral foundation & sunscreens that contain TD.

Cons:

This lotion turned my skin orange so it looked like I was wearing greasy, weird makeup. It also stained my bed linens, as if I had put bleach on them. The collars on several expensive blouses/jackets are ruined because of the bleaching effect.

I would never recommend this product -and I have decided that I will never again visit the dermatologist who prescribed it and the products it reacted with. My orange face looked worse than the acne. This product needs to be taken off the shelves - and buyers should be given a refund + compensation for the garments and linens ruined.

Pros:

really light weight

Cons:

leaves a little shine

This was the lotion my first dermatologist recommended to me when I went to her when I was in 7th grade. Nothing like being taller than all the boys, wearing big glasses, a mouth full of braces and a red pimply face. I used it for about 8 years before branching out. It's still the ol' standby for 12+ years. For those worried about people complaining of "burning" make sure you do not get the kind with Alpha Hydroxy - that is the burning stuff.

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.

Pros:

no pros

Cons:

This stuff caused a rash all around my eyes, made my eyelids and below my eyes swell and stings and itches like the dickens. I threw it in the trash and will inform my dermatologist who gave me these "free" (thanks for nothing) samples. Don't use it!

Do not use this at all unless you just get a kick out of flirting with misery! I have dark pink rashy circles all the way around my eyes! I have been miserable!
