Pros:

Very hydrating, does what its supposed to, clears up any dryness from the dkr regimen,
very generous size (will last for long time)

Cons:

Very thick, goes on thick gives off greasy look

Basically if your looking to eliminate dryness this product is great, however like I mentioned it goes on very thick, I would recommend this product only at night as it makes your face look far too shiny during the day!

Pros:

-Hydrated my skin really well
-Removed all my flakes
-Big size

Cons:

-Takes FOREVER to apply on
-Heavy, greasy substance
-Didn't break me out?

DO NOT use this if you are on the Acne.org regimen, this stuff will keep balling up even after wait 5-15 minutes to dry your skin from the BP. I would seriously be standing in front of the mirror for 10+ minutes just applying this crap because no matter how many times I gently rubbed it in, the white residue would not go away! I used so many different ways to apply it, I use small amounts, I swiped it side to side, etc, nothing really worked. Also I use the Acne.org Benzoyl Peroxide Gel kind and supposedly balling up isn't not supposed to happen with the gel but it sure as hell happens with this moisturizer. Other than that though I think if you aren't using any face products before applying this product(excluding cleansers) you should be good! Again this is a great product, just wasn't good for my use.

Pros:

• Extremely moisturizing
• No scent
• Smooth application
• Low-priced
• Completely gets rid of peeling/flaking skin

Cons:

• Slight sting similar to Dan's old moisturizer (until September 2010)
• Thick consistency

Though it may feel as if you are applying peanut butter to your face due to the consistency of this product, the moisturizer goes on smoothly. As long as you use the right amount, it all soaks into the skin with a minute of very gentle rubbing motions. There is a stinging/burning sensation much akin to the experience of most other moisturizers due to the product's inclusion of glycerin. As long as you are extremely soft with the application, the pain is very minimal. In fact, after using the product over time, the pain disappeared for me. This magical cream was a tremendous replacement of the new acne.org moisturizer, which caused my face to peel like I've never seen before.

Pros:

* Very emollient
* A lot of product for the $
* Fragrance free

Cons:

* Thick (better as a night cream)
* Greasy appearance by mid-day

I live in a very very dry climate so moisturizing is extra important. I love the way this product feels on my skin. Immediate hydration! I would recommend this morely as a night cream though because I find myself blotting my face a few times during the day to keep the oiliness down. Great emollient cream with no scent or irritation.

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! :)

Pros:

Hydrat very well. cheap, specially if you buy it at costco

Cons:

Too creasy, hard to put on, leaves white residules. Burning my face after BP, don't why though. May be my face gotten used to it. Jar's too big, it's like digging in a big hole. Boys may be ok with this

I usually like this. But toward the 2 and 3 week in the regime, this make my face red and very itchy and irritating after BP. Along is OK. I can't take it anymore with this regime. So i have to switch to another one.

Pros:

Leaves the skin velvety smooth

Cons:

Broke me out

I've learned to avoid things that cause acne (iodine, sugars, stress), so I am mostly acne-free. I know that I am prone to acne, however, so I read the reviews suggesting this product. I applied it only to my right cheek, and 4 days later I have 3 cysts on that cheek only. I haven't had cysts in over a year. I was a bit skeptical about this cream, since it does have at least one ingredient that is known to be slighly comedogenic (google 'acne detective' for a complete list). I'm going back to using shea butter, which has a similar consistency and I know is good for my skin. Its too bad shea butter leaves my skin shiny.

Pros:

I think this is a lovely moisturiser, it is soft and pleasent to use and very soothing, which is highly important if you have just begun the Regimen. It hasnt made me break out, controls flakes and redness. Quite thick, but personally I like that,

Cons:

Erm, none as yet. Very nice for acne prone skin. The packaging of the squeezy tube is handy, but that might just be the european line of Cetaphil moisturiser. Sadly I haven't come across the SPF cetaphil moisturiser yet.

Pleasent to use, handy tube and most importantly, hasn't given me new spots! :-D It cost me around £9, not sure what that is in dollars.
