Pros:

This product really did moisturize my face. I was looking for something that did not clog my pores and was fragrance free without any or few irritants. Yes, this did moisturize but this is day two of using this product and my face is super oily. So much so that my mom stated "you didn't realize you were shining in the dark?" On top of this I have been experiencing a slight burning sensation on my forehead and right and left cheek from using this product.

Cons:

Skin became so oily I am shining like a light bulb.

I do not suggest this product to anyone with oily skin. for those that do not have oily skin you definitely will after using this.

Pros:

no scent, firm not drippy, smooths out easily, excellent price, can use it all over - not just face, not greasy at all, absorbs quickly

Cons:

wish for spf

I LOVE this stuff. I started using it last month when I noticed how plastic my skin was feeling - probably due to the cold. I have never had a lot of success with moisturizer due to my very oily skin. This is fantastic! I put it all over at night but just around eyes during the day due to it causing a shine. The texture of my skin is more amazing than I can remember is years.

Pros:

Oil free
Moisturizes very well
Fragrance free

Cons:

Takes a long time to soak into your skin
Makes your skin look shiney

This is a great moistruizer to use overall. A lot of other moisturizes I used in the past had a girly fragrance to it, while this does not. The only thing about it is it takes a long time to soak into your skin. It also makes your skin look shiney. Other than that, it's well worth it.

Pros:

Mosturizes my skin.
Keeps it hydrated.
Does not clog pores.
Hasn't broke me out yet.
No more dry skin!

Cons:

Too oily.
I went from dry to oily skin, but this only appears at night.

I only use this at night. I recommend it very much. It's very thick and takes minutes to absorb, depends on the amount you apply. It can make your face oily as hell in the morning. But as I said, I only apply it at night time, and use Proactive SPF moisturizer in the morning. Since I use Proactive Solution, the dryness is miserable, so I think this is the best moisturizer for that. My best friend and I have been using this for months, and it's amazing.

Pros:

-It does a good job at moisturizing dry skin
-My dermatologist recommended me to use this

Cons:

-Break's me out badly
Shame cause it was the only thing that moisturized my face really well

My dermatologist recommended this to me so I thought it must be good, and I really liked it in the beginning because it was very moisturizing and made my skin soft after it had been so dry from using acne meds. I have been using this for about a week and this morning I woke up with 6 new pimples! I have never had this bad of a breakout before ever in my life, and its the only thing that i added to my skincare regimen ;-( ps: the cetaphil daily advance moisturizing lotion breaks me out too my derm gave me samples of it.

Pros:

-Very moisturizing
-Unscented
-Works well with DK Regimen
-Does not break my face out

Cons:

-Very thick
-Does not "glide on" easily
-Takes a while for it to absorb
-Leaves my skin looking dewy
-Sometimes gives my face a burning sensation/redness (this could be from the combo with BP)

Despite the cons, I like this moisturizer because it gets the job done and really takes care of flakiness. It also does not make me break out (which is probably the most important factor for me when buying a moisturizer). I only wish it were less thick and absorbed into skin more readily!

Greasy sh*t and overrated.
This moisturiser never absorbs at all, it leaves a nasty greasy sticky film on your face that stays like that for hours on end. I don't know why people think it makes your face smooth, when in reality it feels like putting cooking oil on your face. It doesn't feel satisfying to put on your skin at all, in fact, I'm always disgusted everytime I put this crap on. The worst part is that when you wake up, your face will feel even greasier than ever. I do not recommend, this product is completely overrated.

Pros:

+ Great as an every day moisturiser
+ Didn't break me out
+ Pretty cheap for what you get
+ A little goes a long way!

Cons:

- Could perhaps be too 'heavy' for some

I started using this moisturiser when i started my accutane course around 5 months ago. It hasn't made me break out, and has treated the redness / dry skin that the accutane caused very well. Only minor problem I had was that if I sweat, my face more or less turns in to a mirror. Ok not that shiney, but it does get very shiney! Despite that, 5 little circle people things!

Pros:

- Got rid of my flakes
- Very moisturizing
- Big bottle
- Easy to apply to skin
- Leaves skin smooth
- Doesnt clog pores or cause acne

Cons:

- Seriously nothing wrong so far but for me leaves my nose a tiny bit greasy but nothing bad or too noticeable

Amazing moisturizer! Worth the buy. I'm 15 and have moderate acne and I was unknowing of the fact that the BP 10% in the product I use dries my skin out! I thought the white flakes were flakes of the product that dried out and were left behind but recently I discovered it was my skin! This lead me to buy a moisturizer and I bought this and let me tell you, IT'S AMAZING! Before I would put on the 10% BP at night just by itself and wouldn't moisturize at all and would go to bed... Every day I would wake up an extra 30 minutes just so I can remove the flakes from my skin and have an uncomfortable feeling throughout the day thinking flakes were on my face..BUT! the first night I tried this moisturizer I washed my face, applied the BP, and than moisturizered. I woke up with not a single flake to be seen on my face! I'm so relieved I have found this. THIS PRODUCT IS A MUST FOR DRU FLAKEY SKIN! I will countinue to buy and use this product.
