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:

Doesn't clog my pores, never given me a breakout, goes on light, doesn't leave a greasy residue, keeps my face moisturized, lasts a long time (about 3-4 months per bottle).

Cons:

Sort of pricey, I still have to exfoliate every once in awhile

This is the best moisturizer I have ever used. I was afraid to use a moisturizer at first because every single one has made me break out, but CevaVe gives my skin the moister it needs in the places where it needs it and actually helps my oily spots to become less oily. I can't imagine being without CeraVe, I can always count on the fact that my skin will be kept calm and moisturized with it.

Pros:

It feels light and absorbs easily without leaving a residue. It has never broken me out, which I was afraid a moisturizer would do. No fragrance, which I like. It's also pretty cheap.

Cons:

For a period of two weeks, my face would get really red everytime I was in a dry room (it's freezing in NY and the heat is way up). I suppose I didn't use enough lotion to counteract this dryness. Also, it's hard to carry the lotion around - I wish they made a traveling size!

I use a full pump on my face, let it absorb for ten to fifteen minutes, then use another half pump for particularly dry areas like my cheeks. This is a great lotion; I use it as part of the DKR regimen and my skin is completely clear of acne after four weeks on the regimen (I put that I have light acne, which I did before I started the regimen).

Pros:

moisturizers throughout day, leaves no shine, no harmful ingredients, improved my skin's moisture balance, absorbs into skin great

Cons:

none i can really think of..

I love this product! I use this product with clean & clear sensitive foaming cleanser and I used to always have dry skin after washing my face. i used cetaphil lotion and moisturizer but it didn't regulate my moisture balance + it broke me out. This lotion has brought back the balance in my skin. Now most of the time I don't even need to moisturize when I finish wanting, but i still apply the lotion because it's pleasant, doesn't break me out, and i don't like cheating my skin out of moisture. cetaphil = greasy, cerave = moisturizing.

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:

best moisturizer EVER. Non greesey feeling and blends in easily.

Cons:

No SPF.

I have tried every moisturizer on the market and this is by far the best. Will never look back.
September 25, 2008

Pros:

Good moisturizer.

Cons:

No SPF

I've used this cream before when my friend gave it to me and it works very well. My dermatologist prescribed me tazorac and told me that after washing my face with Cetaphil, to use this moisturizer so that the tazorac won't make my skin red and dry. It's worked so far! Try it.

Pros:

Light, moisturizes well without anything below it

Cons:

If you use benzoyl peroxide or anything under this moisturizer, it won't work. It clumps up and does not moisturize well. Definitely not recommended for people using creams and gels for their acne.

Works great for a standard lotion with nothing under, but anything under it will block the absorption of this moisturizer.

Pros:

it doesn't make my face oily! this is the only moisturizer i have ever used that leaves my face relatively matte for over 2 hours

Cons:

doesn't moisturize great but its a small price to pay

i started using dan's bp. my skin before used to be very very oily. i used proactiv and my acne was under control but i was looking for a cheaper alternative. i wash with purpose bar, then use dan's, then moisturize with cerave. my skin has now turned pretty dry after using dan's but after using cerave its nice!
