Pros:

good for winter in dry climates
good for dry skin other than face

Cons:

makes my face break out

I used this at night for a loooong time at the recommendation of my dermatologist, because I was on some pretty harsh topical products. It worked really well, even when I went off those products. I used to live in a drier climate, but recently moved to a more humid one and my face went crazy. I tried all sorts of different things, but to no avail. Then, by chance I ran out of this lotion and had to use my morning moisturizer at nighttime as well for a few days - and all of a sudden my acne started clearing up. I thought it might be a coincidence so when I bought more I used it at night again, and sure enough in a couple days I had more zits pop up. So even though it says it won't cause acne, for me it seems that it did. I have combination/oily/sensitive skin, and I think living in a humid climate, this is just too much for me. I still love it as a body lotion though, especially on my legs after shaving. So I recommend this, but not for the face!

AHHH

Pros:

soft silky smooth skin
healthy glow
great foundation base

Cons:

CLOGGED PORES
CLOGGED POREEES
lumpy lumpy skin gwoss pimples ugh

I've tried this lotion and the facial one with spf15. They both provided a silky smooth canvas for my makeup, I loveeed the way they gave my skin a soft glow and they actually reduced my oil production dramatically. BUT, BUT, BUT OMG. CLOGGED PORES EVERYWHERE. PLACES I DIDN'T KNOW WERE POSSIBLE In a few days these moisturisers have wreaked havoc on my face. Cetaphil, you suck.

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.

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 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.

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.

Pros:

Excellent moisturizer.

Cons:

I dont know if it was just me, but for some reason, when im on this moisturizer, i get random really dry spots, that kinda turn into scabs like things? My skin would get so dry in places, that it would start have a clear watery like substance come out and scab over. it was really hard to get rid of. I ended up switching back to Dans moisturizer and now everything is fine again.

Maybe its just my face, but be careful with this why on Dan's BP.
