Pros:

Love how soft my skin is after. Takes care of almost all dry spots, and spread evenly. Easy to add other products (sunscreen) into as well.

Cons:

BURNS. REALLY. BAD. I dunno if it's just that I've got sensitive skin, but I have to grit my teeth when I put it on.

Overall, even though it's a painful experience (I'm hoping it'll get better over time) I still don't think there's anything better than Cetaphil. I've had countless dermatologists and my physician recommend it. I also use the lotion, but I find that's more greasy compared with this. I'll update in a couple weeks to see if it's stopped stinging so bad...

Pros:

- A lot for the price
- Moisturizing
- Goes on clear
- A little goes a long way

Cons:

- Can make skin look shiny

I've just started on Dan's regimen and I've been having trouble with the flaky skin period. So I decided to use a moisturizer that would help balance that out. I agree with what others have said about the "shine" left on the skin after applying, so therefore I've decided to use it as just a night cream and use a different moisturizer during the day that doesn't have so much shine. However, this is a great one because it feels VERY moisturizing as soon as it's put on my skin, which is what I needed. So far I've really liked the results!

Very moisturising
This moisturiser is very thick and yes it will take some time to get used to. I would recommend this to everyone to try since there isn't any ingredients that are unhealthy for your skin. It is a very simple moisturiser and is especially good when you have a very dry skin.

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

Pros:

No more dry spots!!! Makes my skin soft. Not greasy.

Cons:

The container's too big, wish it came in a smaller size.

I LOVE this stuff!!! I was hesitant to try it cause I thought it would leave my skin really oily and greasy, it doesn't!! It absorbs into my skin and makes it so soft and smooth. Perfect for extra dry spots. I avoid any open areas of skin, like healing blemishes, cause it does sting there.
