Pros:

I have extremely dry skin, so this is heavy enough to help it, and it does REALLY well on flaking. It has no fragrance either which is a big bonus, and you can also get it with SPF 15.

Cons:

Makes my face really red and burn for a little bit after putting it on, and it feels oily and greesy for a little bit, too (but I think thats from the extreme dryness of my face). Usually after about 5-10 minutes it goes away though.

If you have really dry skin on your face, this is a really good moisurizer to use, if you're okay with feeling shiney and greesy for a little bit before it absorbes/drys all the way. I end up having to put it on at least 3-4 times a day, but it really does help, and since it's a thicker product, a little bottle goes a long way! I only have a 4 fl oz bottle, and I've been using it for probably a month now, and still have about half left.

Pros:

Moisturises without being oily. Unscented. A little goes a long way. Well priced.

Cons:

Burns my (sensitive) skin severely, makes it hot and stinging to the point where i needed to wash it off.

Avoid it if you have sensitive skin.

Pros:

Gets rid of bad flakes really well. This is the first moisturizer that I've used that is effective in the battle against flakes, which my skin is very prone to.

Cons:

Smells sort of funny and it's shiny for the first twenty minutes.

Great moisturizer. It does its job wonderfully. However, I always have to be sure I get up early because if I apply this and run out the door, my skin is shiny for the first twenty minutes of school. I would definitely recommend it to anyone who isn't rushed in the mornings. It's a fabulous moisturizer.

Great overall moisturizer
I've used this moisturizer for a long time, I made the switch when the Acne.org moisturizer formula was changed several years ago. That change left my face super dry no matter how liberally I applied it, so I gave Cetaphil a try and fell in love. I've found it doesn't irritate my skin or lend to causing breakouts. I can use it for morning or night, and I can use it on my hands, neck, etc. It's versatile. The biggest drawback is that it can leave you with a sheen on your face, so if you prefer a more matte moisturizer you'll want to look elsewhere. I have dry skin and this leaves me looking a bit greasy.

Pros:

Moisturizes well
Good price
Last long
Makes my skin soft and smooth
Good for someone with DRY skin

Cons:

Makes my FACE greasy

I bought this moisturizer to try on my face. It says for dry to normal skin. I have oily skin but i decided to use it anyway. I didn't break out or anything but bad mistake -__- I wouldn't recommend it for someone with oily skin because it just makes your skin look more greasy and oilier. However, my body itself usually does get dry so I saved it and now use it for my body. Works really well and keeps me moisturized through out the whole day and gives me soft skin.

Pros:

Soothing
Gets rid of dry skin
Promotes healing
Doesn't break me out

Cons:

Makes skin oily
Isn't a good base for makeup
No SPF

My skin reacted badly to an aloe vera gel leaving me with dry, itchy, spotty skin. After using this moisturiser, my skin is well hydrated and spots have reduced significantly. However I can only use it if i'm staying at home or at night because I find it to be very greasy.

Pros:

Moisturizes well

Cons:

Too thick
Too greasy
Takes too long to dry

I bought this after Dan's new moisturizer made my face dry out. This product moisturizes well, but I don't love the texture. I prefer Dan's original moisturizer to this, but for now I will probably continue with this product.
