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:

Really moisturises!

Cons:

On the thick side, gives white blotchy effect when applied.

It's a wonderful night cream! I mix it with some jojoba and I don't worry about my skin at all at night time. It is the perfect amount of moisturiser for night because it slowly seeps into your skin, and when you wake up the next day it has absorbed fully and is really supple! The only real downside is that it tends to make you look a bit greasy and blotchy, because the white cream does not absorb right away. But if you're like me and are serious about fighting your acne, you will disregard this in the pursuit of clear skin! I've been using this product for around 4 months now and I don't break out anymore! Yay!

Pros:

-VERY moisturizing
-Oil-Free
-Doesn't clog pores
-A lot of product for very cheap

Cons:

-No SPF

I am in love with this product. I have really dry, sensitive skin and I was hesitating wether or not to use a cream on my face. I used to use Clinique's Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion and it made my skin very flaky. Nothing made the flakes go away. So I decided to use this, and I am SO glad I did! My skin is softer than ever before, I never get flaky skin anymore. I rarely break out. It's a miracle worker! I highly recommend this product! :)

There's a trick to using this, read.
BEST EVER! I bought the generic version from Target and walmart - both good. Pat/Tap onto your face, don't rub or smear on to your face. Put a big gob in your palm, rub both hands together and tap tap tap pat pat all over your face that was treated with benzoly P. Works great, not oily and keeps skin from ever flaking. I only use the regimens benzoyl P and this. Had pretty bad acne for years until finally using this and neutrogena bar soap. 3 steps that really work.

For Body, not the face

Pros:

fragrance free
non comedeogenic

Cons:

doesn't glide
makes face shiny

This cream is creamy like yogurt. When rubbing on body skin, it doesn't spread smoothly as it seems to disappear really fast. Lotions ALWAYS feel much better when applied to the skin as it can glide on the surface and can be spread to different areas of the body. This product requires a "scoop" of the hand which is a waste of product in my opinion, in order to have adequate lubrication to glide over the skin. When applied on the face it is SHINY and make your face appear oily. I can't say it has given me breakouts, but I am in search of something else for the FACE.

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.

Would've given it a 3.5 star rating. It's not the best but it gets the job done.

Pros:

Keeps my face really moisturized, doesn't dry out.
Controlled my flaking to a great degree.
Doesn't smell bad.

Cons:

Gets my face greasy after a few hours of application
Consistency makes it hard to smear around.

Since I'm using the benzoyl peroxide, I usually get dried out and flake. I've been using Celeteque moisturizer for a couple of months now but it doesn't moisturize as good as the Cetaphil moisturizing cream. I've been using it for 2 weeks and it really made a great difference on controlling my flakes and keeping my skin moisturized, now here are some things that I don't like about it. First, it's really hard to smear around my face, I don't know why but you're going to take more getting your face prepped with this. Second, it makes my face greasy. The consistency is really thick. Overall it's pretty good, not great but good enough.

Flakes Be Gone!

Pros:

Extremely Moisturizing
Non Irritating
A Little Bit Goes a Long Way

Cons:

Greasy
Difficult To Rub In

I bought this moisturizer back in December of 2012. After reading some reviews, I decided that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try; at this point, I would do ANYTHING to irradicate my flaky, dry skin for good. Because I was on the acne.org regimen, the amount of Benzoyl Peroxide I was using on my skin was really taking a tole on the well-being of my skin. let me just say, this is by far the most moisturizing moisturizer I have ever tried. It got rid of my flaking almost completely. However, the reason that this product gets four out of five stars from me is the fact that it's very thick and greasy. It's not good for the day time because it leaves residue on the skin, so it never completely absorbs. This is a great nighttime moisturizer, and I use it as such.

Pros:

Great for very dry skin
Can be used for hands
Does not break me out if not used all day long
I like the smaller 85 g bottle

Cons:

Very thick / rich
Not for oily skin types
Have to wait until soaks in a little
Might clog pores
Little expensive
Hate the big jar without pump

I bought it from the pharmacy where they sell it cheaper ($12 for 85 g). Its great for very dry skin or long trips when my skin usually dries out and becomes flaky. This one is great for that purpose. However it might clog pores if used all day long.

Pros:

moisturizing
easy to apply
protects dirt and other things from getting onto your skin.

Cons:

looks oily

This is legit. I have been trying to find a good mix and this is the stuff. I actually apply BP with this so it does both jobs at the same time. I have seen good improvement, although probably not just from this step. Keeps my face nice and soft. Great stuff
