Pros:

moisturizes, great for the BODY

Cons:

too thick, greasy, and heavy for the face. made my face look oily.

I would recommend this, but only for the body. On the face, it's far too thick and greasy-looking. Makes my legs and arms feel pretty soft, but makes my face just look oily and gross.

Pros:

moisturizes well, not irritating

Cons:

a bit greasy; might break you out if used too much

this moisturizer has been great! after using so many OTC products on my skin, my skin became dried out and red on top of having acne. my derm recommended a switch to Cetaphil. at first, i didn't like it because it was so greasy. however, the trick is to not use so much- all you need is a pea size amount or less for your entire face, right after you wash your face. if you apply the lotion on a moist face, the lotion seals in moisture really well. after using for a week, the redness faded, my skin was more moisturized, and my acne and scabs started to heal faster.

Pros:

Its unscented, which is better than a horrible scent, and its somewhat cheap for the amount of lotion you get.

Cons:

Ick, the first time I used it, I felt like I was smearing butter all over my face. It worsened my acne, which is NOT ok....

Not worth it for your face, I researched a bunch of lotions before I went out and bought this, looked at each individual ingredient for it's comedome rating and it seemed so great... find something else. I'm back to researching, since the lotion I use is discontinued and almost out.

Pros:

The price and quantity seemed great. It boasted all of the same qualities as my Oil Free Neutragena moisturizer at a fraction of the cost.

Cons:

Does not function like a non-comedogenic moisturizer. Greasy and clogs poors. Also is not alcohol free like Neutragena's Oil Free.

This product clogged my pores even on parts of my body that are acne free. I'm sure it's great of you have dry or flakey skin, but if you have problems with clogging pores, go elsewhere.

Pros:

Inexpensive, Mild formula, Effective

Cons:

abit greasy

its a good product and it does not block your pores!! a few people say its greasy but i think its greasy when too muhc is applied. if the right amount is applied it should absorb easlily, leaving ur skin with very little or no greasy residue!!!

Pros:

Affordable. You get a lot for what you spend. You can use it on your body so once you discover that it sucks for your face, you won't be angry about wasting your money.

Cons:

It didn't absorb, made my face very greasy even after I washed my face in the morning and used my day lotion (I only used the Cetaphil at night).

I was just looking for something to use while my Dan's moisturizer was being shipped-- something light and non-irritating. This was way too greasy and my face never felt clean after I used it. DAN'S all the way!!!

Pros:

- It does what it's meant to do, moisturizes.

Cons:

-kinda greasy
-makes my skin shiny
-clogs my pores

Bottom line, i won't use it again. My skin was doing so well, but I had to buy a moisturizer with no salicylic acid because it made my skin red for the whole day. So I tried this and it clogged my pores and I've had my worst break out in a few months.

Pros:

Extremely hydrating..

Cons:

Greasy, leaves face shiny, causes breakouts, comedogenic!!

Extremely hydrating, but really greasy after applied. It says non-comedogenic which is a lie, half the products are comedogenic or a known irritant. Caused a horrible breakout for me, would not recommend to anyone.

Not the best moisturizer

Pros:

-Hydrates Skin
-Non-comedogenic

Cons:

-Bit of a shiny face

So I've been using this moisturizer on and off for a year. It does hydrate the skin, but you've got to make sure you cleanse your face and exfoliate as well. If you don't, the repeated applications of the moisturizer will result in build up of skin, etc.
