Made Face Red
I decided to try this, along with the usual regimen of a cleanser and benzoyl peroxide. I don't know why, but it caused my face to get really red. I think it's because it doesn't combine well with benzoyl peroxide. The lotion is pretty thick and clumped with benzoyl peroxide. It has an odd smell to it. I won't use it again.

Breaks me out :(

Pros:

Very hydrating
Great for dry skin

Cons:

Broke me out
A bit oily

I have very dry skin and it's been very hard to find an acne-safe moisturizer that's moisturizing enough. This has been the only thing that moisturizes my face enough to be able to put on foundation and have my face not be flaking by the end of the day. That's why I was so sad when I saw about 3 new pimples the day after I used it. This is the second time I've tried it. The first time, I broke out as well, but I couldn't pinpoint what was making me break out as I changed a few things about my acne regimen all at once. But now I know I definitely can't use this. :(

disappointed me.
I had great expectation of this product because of my pleasant experience with Cetaphil cleanser. But, this moisturizer disappointed me. It is nothing more than an over-the-counter greasy moisturizer. I didn't even dare to try putting it on my face. I am now using it as a hand cream. It was like applying oil to my hands. Although the lotion will eventually be absorbed, it doesn't bind water well. I would say that even Vasline is better than this one.

Don't like it at all. I'm pretty certain that it gives me acne.

Pros:

For dry skin

Cons:

Very Greasy, made me have break outs

For me, it didn't work. I have oily skin, and my face is acne prone. I tried using it for a week, and sadly, I had break outs. It's good for the body, but I wouldn't recommend it for the face, especially those who have sensitive skin like me.

Pros:

it does moisturize like it's intended

Cons:

made my skin very oily
clogged pores
broke out BAD

i wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. i would definitely think twice about choosing cetaphil as your moisturizer, even if it's used while on accutane.

I've tried using this product each time with a renewed conviction that this time it'll come out right, thinking that it's supposed to be the least likely thing in the world to cause problems, thinking that it must be some other factor. However, over the course of using it regularly, my skin (i.e. acne) gets worse and worse. Pretty strange. Moreover, it feels bad on the skin.

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.
