Doesn't Do a Whole Lot

Pros:

Drys fast

Cons:

Too many ingredients
Too light

Cerave all and all makes a very light moisturizer, but a bit too light for my dry Colorado skin. I'm sure this product may work for someone with better skin moisture, but putting that many ingredients on my face isn't worth how little it actually does for me.

Pros:

moisturizes very well
leaves skin nice and soft
no break outs
lasts forever

Cons:

sort of made me feel oily

Although it made me feel slightly oily, it did not break me out at all. I've been using this product for about a year but recently started using a different facewash that is less drying. Because of that, im now using less of the lotion and it doesnt make me feel oily anymore. This moisturiser is great but if you use too much it can leave you feeling oily. Still highly reccomended.

Pros:

Absorbs quickly.
Non-greasy.
Makes my skin look nice (excluding the flakes).
Doesn't burn my skin (with using BP).

Cons:

Doesn't keep my skin moisturized.

I was excited to try this, based on the description of the lotion and based on other reviews. I have really dry skin and this sounded like it might help out a lot. I've been searching for a good moisturizer because most of the ones that I have tried haven't worked. The first day that I used it, I thought it was very nice and was working well. But the following days, my skin got dried out again and it's just not getting better with this lotion. I tried adding jojoba oil to it, which usually helps out a lot when I add it to moisturizers, but my skin is still staying dry. I tried using more if it, but that didn't help either. It's just not working on my skin. Other than the fact that it's not keeping my skin moisturized, I really do like it. It absorbs quickly and isn't greasy. It does seem to make my skin look nicer, if you ignore the flakes. There are a lot of positive reviews of this lotion, so it might work very well for you. It just doesn't do what it's supposed to do for me.

Pros:

-Very light
-Moisturizes very well
-Gets rid of flakiness & redness
-NOT oily

Cons:

-Takes practice to use the lotion properly

It doesn't feel thick at all like most moisturizers. The best part is that my skin doesn't feel dry with the lotion and it doesn't make my skin any more oily than it already is. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is because you have to apply A LOT of the lotion if you are using Dan's BP. If you don't use a lot then the cream dries up quickly and leaves a lot of residue (especially if you have facial hair). If you use the 2-3 pumps Dan recommends make sure to use a lot of the lotion. I use .5-1 pump so I don't need to apply so much of the moisturizer.

Pros:

I like the pump
Definitely has made my face less dry

Cons:

My skin is very irritated through out the day.
I have bumps in areas that weren't there before I started using this product and my general acne is more inflamed.

I have been struggling with acne for over a year now, it seemed to get bad once I hit 20. I finally just stopped washing my face, moisturizing, using acne ointments, etc., because it seemed all the products were just making my skin worse and not helping at all. Miraculously my face cleared up, it hadn't looked that good in a long time! BUT it got very dry so with lots of research, I bought the foaming cleanser and moisturizing lotion. Today is my third day so I want to give it a fair try and wait it out for another few days or so, but it seems to just have made my skin worse. However, it has moisturized my skin, and it's not as dry and flaky, I also put it on my shoulders and the next day I had 1 zit that formed and i'm not thinking it was "coincidental", so i'm really starting to doubt this product, for my skin at least. :( I was very hopeful, and will update if anything changes in the next few days. Bottom line, next product I try will be oil free!

Pros:

Mixed with a couple of drops of jojoba oil, it does take away the flakiness. I like how light it feels, not creamy.

Cons:

N/A

After using this for the first day, it left my face tight and red, like a sunburn, for 2 days. Then my skin peeled a little bit. Now, my skin is fine but I have to mix in jojoba oil for it to work. I like how it moisturizes the rest of my body. I'm just not sure if it's doing anything for my face.

Pros:

Leaves skin "matte." Only moisturizer than doesn't turn my face red and shiny. Perfect amount of moisture. No more flakes after a long time.

Cons:

NA

It's hard to explain something when it just feels perfect. The only reason I feel free to say that is that I've tried the other ones > Olay Complete Sensitive, Complex 15 (This is actually more gentle than C15 and a lot more moisturizing, less shiny) Bought it at Walgreens... not at Target.
