Pros:

Got rid of most of my flakes

Cons:

Irritated my skin (red and scaly)
Didn't remove ALL of my flakes (and even a few look terrible...)
Very thick
Takes a while to absorb (20-30 min)
Left me shiny

Ok, so I have only used this for a little over a week, but I'm mixed so far. It's very thick and takes a while to fully absorb, but it did a much better job of getting rid of flakes than Dan's moisturizer (the new one, at least). It also made my chin very irritated, red, and a bit scaly at times. I'm not sure if my skin is going to "adjust" to it over time but I'm not going to find out. My chin looks like a lobster, so I'm going to switch to another lotion. Not everyone has experienced this redness, so don't assume it will happen to you unless you try it. If it weren't for te redness, the rest would be fine and I would probably give it a 4/4.5.

Pros:

-moisturizes a lot
-very minimal breakouts
-red spots are clearing

Cons:

-hard to apply when skin is dry
-can irritate the skin at times
-very shiny
-takes awhile to absorb
-never put on your ear or body, you're going to get rashes for a week
-eye lids were getting dry (dont know why :s)

i have moderate severity of acne, i used it for a few days until my skin started to itch LIKE MAAAAAD during the night, i applied to my ear and neck and chest and it gave me rashes. i stopped applying it then. make sure you use it only on your face, dont get it on your lips or it will dry up, then you have to apply a different mosturizer

Pros:

Fragrance free
Noncommedogenic
Non-oily

Cons:

Heavy
Too thick
Does not absorb into face all that well.
Only moisturizes face ok
Immediately after applying I get so oily and shiny that I think I could swipe the oils off my forehead and do an oil painting with my fingers

If you are out of something better and have this on hand then go ahead and use it. I use it as an absolute last resort when I run out of everything else and I do not really like to use it, but it sort of works when I don't have anything else. It is thick and sticky and it just sits on skin. I love to use it as a body lotion, but for a facial moisturizer it is not that good.

Pros:

Moisturizes well, fragrance free, inexpensive.

Cons:

Thick and greasy. 'Sticky' feeling.

The hydration comes with a price.. Even with dry skin my face is quite oily and sticky during the day - especially in hot humid weather. I also get mild redness and irritation using this moisturizer with Dan's BP. Everyone is different though. Nightime - great. Daytime - not so much.

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:

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.
