Inexpensive, Mild formula, Effective

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:

Tons of moisture for dried out skin
Doesn't leave face overly greasy and absorbs relatively fast
Helps flakes and dry patches

Cons:

Potentially could clog pores for some people
Bad packaging(not a big deal)

This stuff is literally the only thing that has ever noticeably improved my flakes and dryness. Now that Spring is coming, it shouldn't be as much of an issue but during the colder, dryer months my skin is always extremely dry and tight. I've tried everything and this is the only thing that reduces flakes by about 75-85%. I sometimes add 1 or 2 drops of jojoba oil at night for flake control and although I still get some, it takes care of it enough where it's barely noticeable unless an inch or 2 away. The only downside is that it hasn't really helped with skin tone or redness and I believe it can potentially clog pores for some people because it's fairly emollient. I wouldn't really recommend this stuff over the summer since it's pretty strong and could leave shine, unless BP is still drying you out in the summer. As for winter/fall, I haven't found anything better and I slowly feel my skin's barrier returning to a normalized, moisturized and healthy state.

Pros:

*very moisturizing
*pump bottle
*gets rid of flakiness

Cons:

*comedogenic

I was looking for a very emollient moisturizer to combat the bothersome dryness I was experiencing from the regimen during winter. I do not have oily skin like others who disliked the product so I gave it a try. (I have sensitive combo skin that is slightly oily in the T-zone.) About a week of use, I noticed a few more pimples than I usually have with this moisturizer as the only change to my routine. I did look up the ingredients and the combination of Cetearyl Alcohol and Ceteareth 20 has a 4 out of 5 comedogenic value according to [link removed] So though I loved how well it moisturized, I had to discontinue it.

Pros:

Gets rid of flakiness extremely well. Perfect for use with acne medicines, because it is noncomedogenic. This is good stuff.

Cons:

Makes skin look greasy.

I use this morning and night for use with my acne medicines. Because it looks greasy, what I do is put it on and then wipe the excess with a facial tissue. Works great to get rid of greasy look.

cetaphil knows best
who would of thought that we would use a lotion as a facial wash , well it works wonders , the point that there are no harsh chemicals stripping all the goodness of our face but still cleansing it makes cetaphil lotion the ideal product to use in our daily routine .

How do you use it as a facial wash ?

It works well...
This makes your skin soft and dewy. It even adds shine. But it is greasy and makes you sweat. If you have oily skin or combination i wouldn't recommend. But it does work well with sunburns, sensitivity and flaky skin, which is one of the main reasons i bought it. I personally try to only use it at night.

Pros:

Even though it says fragrance free it has a light pleasant smell to it.

Cons:

It is a bit greasy.

It does its job and moisturizes the face nicely. I used Dan's moisturizer and this one works better in my opinion.

Pros:

Hydrates well, relatively inexpensive, great for use with drying acne medications, doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin, one bottle lasts forever

Cons:

GREASY and sticky on face - not light at all

I'm torn on whether to recommend this. I cannot use this on my face during the day at all - way too greasy and it leaves even my very dry skin looking slick. I cannot use it on my face every night, either, again because of the greasiness, and I hate that feeling of my face sticking to the pillow from it. It does hydrate well and is very soothing, though. Doesn't irritate my very sensitive skin at all, and that right there is a feat. The consistency of it, though...ugh. Now, for my hands and body, it's great. I use it daily for that. On my face, though - no go. It's just too heavy for daily facial use for me.

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.
