Been using it for 5 years!

Pros:

Lightweight
Absorbs relatively quickly
Oil/fragrance/harsh chemicals free

I have very acne prone and combo skin. When I was in 7 grade I had pretty bad acne on my forehead mostly between my brows so I tried this moisturizer with the cleanser and it leaves my skin feeling great. I've been repurchasing it since. It doesn't clear away acne but it helps to sooth them and it won't clog pores. I do only use it as a day moisturizer and use another at night to switch things up. If your on an acne treatment and the products that you use are very harsh and drying, then you most likely won't like it because it's a light moisturizer.

Pros:

Non oily
Non greasy
Moisturizes well
Leaves skin feeling smooth and healthy looking
Doesn't make my face look oily or feel greasy

Cons:

A bit expensive

Works great! I've always been scared of putting moisturizer on my face because all the ones I put on made my face looking very oily and feeling greasy. When I bought the cleanser, it came with a free bottle of this moisturizer and I was a bit scrared but the minute I put this on I was thrilled. Since then i've always use spectro hydracare. LOVE IT!

Pros:

in specific for their dry skin moisturizer, not blemish prone:
- makes skin super soft, not greasy
- does not give you acne (no difference in comparison to blemish-prone moisturizer)
- reduces redness!!! this was a huge problem for me, even with their blemish-prone
- evens skin tone and oily/dry spots

Cons:

it's $15, but it is really, really worth $15.

The hydracare for dry skin is the best moisturizer I've ever used. I used spectro's blemish-prone cleanser and moisturizer for a while, and decided to try out their stuff for dry skin. It's just as awesome as the blemish-prone, except it moisturizes a ton better and makes my skin EXTREMELY SOFT and a lot less red.

Pros:

Very moisturizing, absorbing, non-greasy. Contains salicylic acid and helps eliminate acne. Truly the best!

Cons:

not cheap

Benzyl peroxide can be very damaging to skin long term. It produces radicals which, much like harmful sun rays, can cause premature aging. So I mix lots of tea tree oil with this moisturizer and it works just as well as BP, if not better. Tea tree has similar effects to BP only it's very healthy for skin.

Pros:

Basically everything that you would expect out of a moisturizer for people w/acne is what this product is. It works well on Body and face.
And it has a nice smell. Sort of peanutty...

Cons:

A TINY bit of redness & shine, which (if you're a girl, or you are a guy who likes makeup) can be covered with a little foundation.

Great product for anyone. And if you are now clear, the spectro gel cleanser is good. if not then use it before using a harsh cleanser. I got it onsale for $5. So, if you don't have the cash for full prce just wait for it to go on ale.

Pros:

Not greasy, helps acne

Cons:

Needs a little help from a non-medicated moisturizer if you have dry skin. I would only recommend using it at night because it contains salicylic acid.

Great product! Very good price

Pros:

Works well.
Doesn't feel greasy or leave thick residue.

For sensitive/combination skin, it's my new personal choice of moisturizers.

Pros:

Spectro Hydra Care is a great moisturizer especially for acne stricken skin as it is non-greasy and non-irritating. I used this after 5% Benzoyl Peroxide, and since the benzoyl peroxide is so drying i knew i needed a good moisturizer, and this is honestly the best! If you have acne, i recomend Spectro Hydra care Normal to combination skin.

Cons:

The only thing is that it is shiney when you put it on, but you just have to let it soak in after you spread it around.

This is the best moisturizer i have ever tried! No wonder Spectro is a dermatologist recomended brand!

Pros:

Great texture.
Non-greasy.
Actually feels like it's water-based.
All ingredients are safe.
Moisturizes well, especially with the Safflower Oleosomes.
Goes a long way.
Totally non-irritating. Very mild.

Cons:

Leaves a bit of a shine on the face.
Although non-greasy, it still leaves a residue.
Does not totally absorb into skin immediately; some of it just sits on the skin. But then again, that's the characteristics of a true moisturizer. If it is absorbed immediately, then there will be no long-lasting moisturizing effects. But this product does.

Try it.
