Gets rid of flakes

Pros:

Gets rid of flakes
Non-comedogenic
Cheap

Cons:

Can make face greasy

After I had been on the regimen for several months, my face was still uncontrollably flakey. It was making me miserable. This got rid of the flakes! It's an extremely intense moisturizer, but is still non-comedogenic. At first I used it morning and night, then reduced it to just night because it made my face too oily during the day. At night, I mix a dime-sized amount of this with a very small amount of AHA from acne.org. It works wonders.

best moisturizer

Pros:

great for sensitive/acne prone skin
very hydrating
cheap price for great moisturizer

Cons:

none! :)

I have very sensitive skin therefore making it sort of acne prone. Right now I'm also currently pregnant so the hormones make me a little extra acne prone. My face has never looked better than when I use witch hazel as a toner and then follow it up with this moisturizer. No more break outs and leaves my skin super soft..

Updated Review- New method of Application
This is an update on my last review. After about 5 months of usage, I noticed that this moisturizer did ball up a lot and when I perspired it turned white in some areas of the face. However, I found a new method for applying it so that it never did any of these things. Also, with it I had not just some but ZERO flakiness for hours and hours (This was when I actually got flaky from the BP, though. I don't anymore... I guess eventually the skin gets truly used to the BP). Anyways, the method is to put on a pretty liberal amount of it on the face to the point where you can see the whiteness of the cream in places. Then, I would usually follow up by waiting 1-2 minutes (you should still see some white afterwards) for it to soak in. Finally, I would take a paper towel (one that isn't too abrasive) and gently wipe the excess cream off my face. Make sure to wipe it off good so that it doesn't ball up. That's how I ended up using it and it worked really well for me; the only con being that it can be a little greasy. Also, this cream is a wonderful all-over body cream and it keeps my driest areas (my elbows) super soft. If you get it and put it on this way, I really hope it works for you as well ;)

This is a great products for people who are looking into a heavy , night moisturizer. As for a day moisturizer I would not reccomend this is your using make up in the morning ,if your not ,then it's just fine.

Pros:

Keeps flakiness totally over control
Extremely moisturizing
Good for people on Dan's Regimen
Doesn't sting

Cons:

None

I really loved this moisturizer, nothing bad to say about it! It's very thick and creamy. Incredible size (16 oz.) for the price! It has taken care of my flakiness to the point where there's almost no more. It goes on clear... But if you put a lot on it while go on white but then dry clear. Excellent product. :) I'm also using it on my dry elbows and it's working pretty good :)

Pros:

Rich and creamy, super moisturizing, helps makeup look flawless, does not cause breakouts..etc

Cons:

May be too rich for some.

This cream is great! I love it as a night time cream because of how soft my skin is every morning but I also love it as a daytime cream because it makes my makeup look flawless. Ive had acne for like 10 years now and this is what works best for me. It also at an amazing price point

Pros:

Perfect. I always come back to this. Removes eye makeup easily without losing eyelashes in the process. Doesn't sting eyes. Gentle. Thick and moisturizing. The ONLY thing that worked for me on Accutane. Sometimes use this as a cleanser, too! Does not break me out. A year later, I still have just a little less than half of it left.

Cons:

Absolutely nothing.

This is perfect. The only thing that saved my chapped, split skin during Accutane was this. It is healing, soothing, and so wonderful. It is a real treat to put this on my skin. It feels exquisite. For $13, this is definitely worth it. I will always come back to this product.

Pros:

-Very moisterizing
-A lot for the price
-Fragrance free
-Doesn't clog pores

Cons:

-Takes a little bit to sink into skin
-Skin has to be wet for the full effect of it
-Using it during the day feels greasy, but if I go to sleep with it then I wake up with smooth skin so bad during day and good at night

Good product, especially for someone on Accutane like myself. No more flaking. Also good on the body.

-Hydrates
-I haven't had flakey skin since

Cons:

I have dry skin. When I found something to work on my acne (Acnefree sensitive skin 3step) It dried my skin a little bit, and I decided to use this. It's wonderful. It leaves skin babysoft, Great under makeup, Doesn't clog my pores, and its great as a 30 minute gloppy mask to make your skin ultra soft. I swear my cetaphil, it is AMAZING. Really nice for us ladies when we shave our legs too :) Totally recommend

Pros:

- no breakouts!
- extremely moisturizing
- cheap (for the amount you get)
- lasts forever!
- unscented
- screw on top means I'm never worried about it exploding while travelling

Cons:

- too greasy for daytime use

An excellent overnight face moisturiser! This product saved my horrible, flaky, dry, acne prone skin last winter. When everything else seemed to burn, this was soothing and effective. While it didn't improve the severity of my acne, it also didn't aggravate it or make it worse. I even use it during the day sometimes, on any super dry patches (just let it soak in before applying make up). Honestly, don't spend crazy amounts on expensive overnight creams. This, plus a great daily SPF moisturizer, is all you need!
