Pros:

Works well to moisturize your skin, especially around the eye area. I only use it around my eyes and it seems to be gentle, and i have sensitive, acne-prone skin

Cons:

A bit thick- makes you look a little greasy...

Worth it but if you plan to use it all over your face i would recommend that you only use it at night so you dont look all shiny during the day

Pros:

Doesn't causes acne and it feels great when you apply it for the 1st 2 hours.. But..

Cons:

After 2 hours your face will turn into a slimy monster!! Too much oil that you can almost use your oil on your face to fry eggs...

The con beats the pro.. Too bad... hope they do sumthing about the oiliness...

Pros:

Effectively moisturizes my skin for a really good price. I bought the larger bottle with the squirt top.

Cons:

It does feel a little oily and sometimes takes awhile to absorb into the skin, but for me the oilyness is good since the bp really dries out my skin. Also it smells kinda funny but I find the smell disappears after it's absorbed. No SPF in it though.

I used to use a very pricey moisturizer that still left my skin feeling tight. (It was fine until I went on the regimen.) This moisturizer did the trick without even having to use a lot. Since it's winter and extra dry here I sometimes have to put a little more on after it first absorbs, but overall I'm happy with this product. It didn't make me break out either, which was my biggest concern.

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:

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:

hydrates the skin, inexpensive

Cons:

awfully greasy

have no idea why some ppl say that it's light. This moisturizer is awfully greasy. I read lots of reviews before I end up buying this, and it turned out pretty ..well not bad but kind of not what I was hoping for. if ppl think that this is light, then I have no idea what they'd call other ultra light moisturizers which I am using. this is good only for the body.

Pros:

Very moisturising, reduces flakiness considerably, calms redness.

Cons:

A little greasy when first applied or if too much applied.

Only a teeny tiny pea sized amount is needed! I go on and off with this cetaphil lotion but I keep coming back! Cost for me was around $10AUD for 250mls which will last easily 3 months if not more.

Pros:

Gentle, inexpensive, versatile, effective.

Cons:

Greasy, not all-natural ingredients

I like the Cetaphil moisturizer, but if I use more than a dab on my whole face it leaves my face feeling greasy. I wish it would absorb into my skin more quickly. On the plus side, the bottle will last me forever. Also works well on hands, etc. While I marked that I would recommend it, I am not sure if I would recommend it or not. I am going to try it a little longer but I might prefer switching to something less greasy.
