HATE
If this is the only thing people with sensitive skin and acne are supposed to use, I'd rather go without moisture. It looks terrible under makeup. It sits on top of your skin, softening nothing, soothing nothing.

Pros:

Everything!
+ non-greasy
+ good for sensitive skin
+ combats my flaky skin and doesn't worsen my oily T-Zone.

Cons:

- slight burning sensation when used after exfoliation. But other than that, I can't fault this product.

Picked up this little magic-worker after reading so many reviews on it and SO glad I did! I have oily skin but I get really flaky skin around my mouth and eyes of a morning after I wake up, so I wanted a good moisturizer that would counteract that. I got For Dry to Extremely Dry and it has worked wonders.

Pros:

Very misturising, calming and gentle.
Good for sensitive skin
Should not break you out (not for me)

Cons:

Greasy if use too much

It is a cheap and effective. My mum has very dry skin I am gonna get her the cream ones to try. Good combination with BP, will keep using it. DO NOT ALLPY TOO MUCH, otherwise it is too greasy. Good for winter, but use small amount (one soy bean size is good for me). Australia sells it cheap, NZ price is crazy!

Pros:

Quality Product
Lasts a long time
You only need a small amount

Cons:

None

I've been on the regimen since 2005 and have used a number of moisturisers.This one is probably the best . I can also say the same of carleys clear and smooth. If you have normal to dry skin I would recommend.

Pros:

-Plain old moisturizer with nothing added
-Helps hydrate skin, very gentle formula
-Doesn't make face shiny and greasy looking

Cons:

-Doesn't provide moisturize enough alone, but its better than using an oil based moisturizer (I would just use more during the day if I had to)

I've used this for 5 years, it works great, very gentle on the skin. I apply a little bit under the eye area to keep it hydrated and prevent wrinkles; it doesn't irritate the eye. I use this and add a small amount of Dan's AHA+ lotion after applying BP and it helps dilute the AHA+ You can find it at Costco in a double pack, I think it was about 8 bucks, in the stores I see them for 12 bucks for one.

Pros:

Very moisturising
No breakout

Cons:

Thick
Too much = shine

I had no intention of changing moisturiser whatsoever. That was, until the acne.org moisturiser changed. I needed skin hydration badly, and went for Cetaphil Lotion because it had largely positive reviews, and was available here in the UK (although I could only find it online). Firstly, I have found it to be highly moisturising, and able to deal with BP flakiness about as well as the old acne.org formula, which I was satisfied with. Because my skin was so dry, I plastered this stuff on at first, even adding some jojoba oil at night. Whilst it dealt with flakes more quickly, it left me very shiny, and for about half an hour, stinging in my driest areas. Now I use a thin finger's length, and I suspect this may still be a bit too much. So be careful. It still might be too shiny for some people, but I'd rather that than dry and irritated skin. Another point to make is that it is thick. Much thicker than I'm used to with the acne.org moisturiser (old and new). It is therefore, more of a challenge to spread it around evenly whilst maintaining the gentleness that is so crucial to the regimen. I find applying it in exactly the same way as the acne.org BP helps, as they have a similar consistency. All in all, I am satisfied and relieved to be back to where I was before I received my first and only bottle of the new acne.org moisturiser. I still hope there's a way for the old one to return though - I feel it was about as affective as Cetaphil, but lighter and less greasy in larger amounts. It's a shame.

Pros:

gentle, great on body for sensitive skin and for eczema.

Cons:

does get greasy on face

i like to use this on my body daily after showering it really helps with my eczema. but on my face i find that it is too greasy. i tried using less but my face still comes out greasy in an hour or so and then i unconsciously touch my face to get rid of the grease but that in turn causes me more acne.

Pros:

Not greasy, keeps skin smooth all day, great consistancy, doesn't evaporate

Cons:

None that I've found yet.

I've had this lotion on my shelf for months and kept using my 'fancier', good smelling stuff. I guess you could say that I am sort of a 'lotion junky' because I have so many. I even have some in a storage room because I don't have enough room on my closet shelves for all of them. I have some that I love the fragrance and some that I just thought were better for some reason. I don't know why because I hadn't even opened my Cetaphil lotion yet. Maybe because it's in such a plain bottle. But, as they say, "don't judge a book by it's cover". I now know this applies to my Cetaphil lotion. For a while now I thought Olay Quench was the best, but I finally opened my Cetaphil yesterday and all I can say is WOW!! I don't think my skin has felt this soft in a long time. Well, maybe I should say felt this soft and STAYED this soft. This stuff doesn't wear off or evaporate like some others that have to be reapplied a few hours later. My skin feels so soft that I keep wanting to feel my
