It average...but love and hate relationship

I would gave it a 4 stars, but I do have this love and hate relationship with this product. Yes it moisturizes, but it felt like it was just on top of the skin instead of penetrating through the layers of skin. I tried to put a light layer, and still kinda felt that it was sitting on top of skin. Also, it felt that it sometimes stings my face (which is kinda weird if this is supposed to be GENTLE and suitable for normal to dry skin and also sensitive skin as well). I think this is more ideal if you have dry skin, and also for the winter just to be put on to protect the cold weather or even dry cold weather (like where I live at). However it feels like it is doing something but not really type.

My current regimen:

Morning: Nothing (unless if there's a special event then gently cleanse with soap bar for 30 to 45 seconds, rinse, pat dry, and moisturize). If skin feeling tight/dry then slap on moisturizer (current fav vanicream cream).

Night: Cleanse with dove soap bar. If had makeup, then cleanse twice for 30 seconds. Every 2 to 5 days (or just when my skin needs it) exfoliate with a device (a baby rag towelette or hand glove exfoliate). Then use moisturizer (current fav vanicream cream).

Budget friendly?: Depending on where you buy it at and also if you buy it as a generic brand.

Does it do its purpose?: YEA-NO. Like I mentioned before, it feels like it is working but it is just right there on your skin.

Would recommend?: It doesn't hurt to try, but take at your own thanng.

Overall, it will not to try it out as a travel size to test it out. However it would be better for people who have dry skin and or who are living at a windy, cold and or dry weather.

Not ideal with regimine, but good hydration
I bought this to use with the regimine. However, this stuff is too thick and causes the BP to pill up with it and even cake in some places, no matter how long I let the BP sit. However, it is still a great moisturizer and noncomedegenic. I will still use it for my neck and body. Occasionally I'll slather it on my face before washing if I wore makeup that day, just to take it off in a non irritating way.

Not good for summer time
I'm still giving this product 3 stars because it really helped me during my acne stage. I used it as an alternative to Dan Kern's moisturizer. Acne.Org products + this baby cleared my acne. Comes summer, I started seeing small bumps on my face like milia. Some of it were red around the eyes, some were the same color as my skin. I stopped using it. I thought I found my forever moisturizer. Use it only on colder days.

A bit too thick for the face
10 years ago when I was 14 my dermatologist recommended I use this for a hydrating lotion to accompany my Aczone and Differin 0.3%. I used it until I was 20 and I'm not sure why I ever changed! This was before the blue to green bottle change. They've changed the formula and added face and body moisturizers. Unbeknownst to me, I grabbed the body hydrating cream. This stuff is magic, but might be a bit too thick now for my poor face. I have severe dryness from changing skin products and this is my miracle. I do notice clogged pores, but am not sure if it's from other products to try and restore hydration. I'm going to have to try the face hydrating cream or lotion, but Cetaphil had always been my go to during the most hormonal periods of my life.

Pros:

Hydrating, moisturizing, no flakes or dryness, fragrance free, non irritating, feels great when applied.

Cons:

-If you put too much you look shiny
- EXPENSIVE.

Great stuff. A little bit goes a long way. It doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin. It moisturizes all day. If you put too much you look shiny, just don't put too much! The cream has a cold feeling that's GREAT.

Pros:

It moisturises really well, gentle and no irritation for me at all (I've extremely sensitive skin). Flaking reduces after a few days of usage. Fragrance free.

Cons:

Texture is very thick and may take some time to apply, face may get greasy after a while if over applied.

I would say its a good moisturiser if only the texture would be lighter but I won't complain about it since it's taking care of my dry flaking skin without any problem.

Pros:

Great Moisturizer
Removes Flakiness
Removes Redness

Cons:

Burns my face

I bought the tube to try it. This product works great for moisturizing. But it burns my face so much! I was burning around my nose, the upper part of my lip, my forehead, sides of my face, and my chin.

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.
