Pros:

Good amount for price

Cons:

Too Greasy/Oily
Seemed to Clog pores

For a Face Moisturizer, I was not pleased with this product. The ingredients are iffy, and it left my face looking oily. I much prefer CeraVe.

Pros:

Light

Cons:

Runs out quickly.

This is a really good day moisturiser, and does not leave you looking oily (unlike the cream version). The only downside I can think of is that it runs out suprisingly fast (faster than both the cleanser and cream, which I both use) and so is less value for money than those two. Otherwise it is a good lotion, and does what it promises to do. I do not break out when using this product.

Pros:

Very moisturizing, took care of extreme flakiness, doesn't cause redness, skin looks even

Cons:

Using too much makes you look greasy

The acne.org regimen was helping my acne, but presented a new problem: EXTREME dryness and flaking. It was horrifyingly bad. Also, DK's moisturizer made my skin red, burned all day long, and did nothing for the flakiness. In desperation, I switched to this moisturizer, and I am SO glad that I did! After the first use, the flakiness was GONE. No redness, no burning, no itching, no embarrassment! BOTTOM LINE... if your skin is extremely dry, flaky, or burning, try this! I am so glad that I did!

Pros:

At 1st I did not like it. But I gave it a chance and love it. My small pimples cleared up on my forehead and my skin is smooth,soft,and this doesn't make my skin greasey. This is the only moisturizer that didn't make my skin greasy!!!!!

Cons:

none,except if you use alot it has a slight burn. But I like this moisturizer. And I am very PICKY about my skin.

You should get it a try. Dont use alot if it makes you face look shiney. Because that is what happens to me when I use alot. But if you wear a little you should be fine. Cover the shine with compact. But give it a try before giving it up.

Cons:

very greasy
still see flakiness

I only bought this because i thought it would moustririze my skin well because i've been using BP 4%, which is really drying non-oily areas out. I would have to apply this stuff on really thick and multiple times because the flakiness around my mouth would come back. And I got a pimple on my chin after using it :(. I like it for the rest of my body though.

Not a Fan :(
Tried this out when i was looking for a good night moisturiser. This made my face like an oil slick to wake up to, didn't absorb properly and broke me out with little white heads on my nose (I don't usually get spots on my nose!) I've tried using it as a body moisturiser as i suffer with eczema on my arms (and I'm loathed to throw a nearly full bottle of product out) but i haven't seen much improvement so far and it still takes AGES to absorb. Wouldn't buy it again.

not for acne
This is a great product for dry skin not prone to breakouts. I have combo skin that's very breakout prone. I tried it on a few dry areas and ended up with clogged pores in those areas I used this lotion.

I love it
This is my favorite lotion, second only to Cetaphil Daily Advanced. When I started to use Cetaphil on my face, I stopped getting new acne!

Too greasy/broke out easily
Type: mild acne/acne prone skin/ summer: oily/ winter: dry) I used it as a face moisterizer. Better to use on your body than face. Pros: *hydrates skin Cons: *makes face feels greasy and oily *Made me broke out after a few uses Not for people with really oily skin. People with oily skin should not use moisterizers with oil in them such as this one ((this prouct uses Macadamia Ternifolia (Nut) Oil)). Water based or oil free moisterizers work best for oily skin type. Maybe good for people with dry skin.

Didn't work for me
If you have dry skin then this product could work for you. I have extremely oily skin and this product did not control it what so ever in fact I felt it made my oily skin worse. The more oil my skin produces the more acne I get so after months of using this product my face was filled with acne. If you have extremely oily skin like me PLEASE stay away from this product. I find the only thing that works for me is a mattifying moisturizer.
