Pros:

Inexpensive; hydrates my skin better than the Olay Sensitive skin moisturizer, absorbs quickly.

Cons:

A little sticky upon initial application; no SPF so need to compensate with a sunscreen or SPF-rated concealer.

After using the Olay sensitive skin moisturizer for about a year I decided to switch to a heavier moisturizer as the former still resulted in flaky skin. I like this Cetaphil one much better hydration-wise, and it is also considerably cheaper.

Pros:

Doesnt smell bad. Keeps me from flaking. Doesnt make me break out.

Cons:

Nothing!

This is the first moisturizer that actually works. It doesnt make my skin feel oily and gross. Thats not a good feeling when you have acne. It really hydrates your skin.

Pros:

Keeps my eczema flare-ups to a minimum!

Cons:

I haven't found one yet

I have mild to moderate eczema. As long as I use this product everyday, as soon as I dry off from the shower, I usually won't get any dry spots. I've read some other reviews. For those who say it's heavy, you may be using too much. A little bit really goes a long way. Also, try using the lotion instead of the cream, if that applies to you. The lotion seems to absorb better. I've been using Cetaphil for 4 years. It saved my itchy skin!

Pros:

I have extremely dry skin, so this is heavy enough to help it, and it does REALLY well on flaking. It has no fragrance either which is a big bonus, and you can also get it with SPF 15.

Cons:

Makes my face really red and burn for a little bit after putting it on, and it feels oily and greesy for a little bit, too (but I think thats from the extreme dryness of my face). Usually after about 5-10 minutes it goes away though.

If you have really dry skin on your face, this is a really good moisurizer to use, if you're okay with feeling shiney and greesy for a little bit before it absorbes/drys all the way. I end up having to put it on at least 3-4 times a day, but it really does help, and since it's a thicker product, a little bottle goes a long way! I only have a 4 fl oz bottle, and I've been using it for probably a month now, and still have about half left.

Pros:

Everything about this product is great for me. Best moisturizer I've ever used.

Cons:

None.

I have been trying so many different moisturizers, and none of them took care of the flaking and dryness from my acne medications. Or, they'd make me break out worse. This is the first moisturizer that works well for me! And I love the consistency, packaging, etc. You do have to make sure you let it soak in before applying make-up. I love this stuff!

Pros:

Moisturises without being oily. Unscented. A little goes a long way. Well priced.

Cons:

Burns my (sensitive) skin severely, makes it hot and stinging to the point where i needed to wash it off.

Avoid it if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

Gets rid of bad flakes really well. This is the first moisturizer that I've used that is effective in the battle against flakes, which my skin is very prone to.

Cons:

Smells sort of funny and it's shiny for the first twenty minutes.

Great moisturizer. It does its job wonderfully. However, I always have to be sure I get up early because if I apply this and run out the door, my skin is shiny for the first twenty minutes of school. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who isn't rushed in the mornings. It's a fabulous moisturizer.

Pros:

It moisturizes well and gets rid of flakiness.

Cons:

It's greasy as all get-out! I swear, touching my face was like touching a piece of bumpy raw bacon, and I wasn't even using that much!
Disgusting. It also burned my face for some reason, even though it's for sensitive skin.

Maybe it'd work for people who don't have normally oily skin? I couldn't stand how greasy it made me feel, though.

Great overall moisturizer
I've used this moisturizer for a long time, I made the switch when the Acne.org moisturizer formula was changed several years ago. That change left my face super dry no matter how liberally I applied it, so I gave Cetaphil a try and fell in love. I've found it doesn't irritate my skin or lend to causing breakouts. I can use it for morning or night, and I can use it on my hands, neck, etc. It's versatile. The biggest drawback is that it can leave you with a sheen on your face, so if you prefer a more matte moisturizer you'll want to look elsewhere. I have dry skin and this leaves me looking a bit greasy.
