Like an ex you keep running back to ;)
My derm recommended this moisturizer to me several years ago and it's the one thing I can say saves my skin. Any time I stray from it my skin reminds me of what it really wants! Then I keep going back... Used morning and night (I live in the desert w 0% humidity and hard water so hydration is a must for me) it helps w the dryness and flakiness I've had w any acne product. I started Dans regimen 8 days ago and just couldn't stick w his moisturizer. It was still leaving me a scaly mess! And it broke me out so much. I just switched back to Cerave and can already see the difference. Hopefully this w dans cleanser and bp will finally be the perfect balance for me. As frustrating as it is to hear, you really have to try a product for yourself before you know if it works. Certain ingredients will work for you and some won't, and reading 1,000 reviews isn't gonna change that. Listen to your body, be gentle (like Dans advice!) take everything you read here with a grain of salt, and don't stress too much!

Break out
It hydrates very well and reduced redness. But it clogged my pores, like I applied this in the morning, and before going to bed my skin was still hydrated. it reduced redness, with white heads...

Almost perfect! Just one flaw... OILY SKIN INDUCING
OK! So, this moisturizer kills dans (for my skin type.. I have beach tan semi-sensitive skin) Dans always kept my skin feeling dry and flaky no matter what! But, this product makes me skin feel sooo nice and comfortable. I only use this at night when I put benzoyl peroxide because it's the only thing that can take the dryness away. In the morning it's just cleanse with Cerave Hydrating Cleanser and moisturize with Neutrogena oil-free moisture. Ok now here's unfortunate flaw.. it makes me so freaking oily. I mean it's okay because I'm just sleeping with oily skin but could that cause more acne? If anybody else gets the same results as me from this let me know. Hopefully you have solutions :)

Made me break out everytime
This moisturizer made me break out every time I used it. I was hopeful because of all the positive reviews, but if you are an acne prone teen like me, I would avoid this product. Even Dan reviewed and said it caused acne, so I definitely would not reccomend it.

Soothing and great moisture.
I love this lotion, this is what I used every day before I started Dan's regimen. I now use his lotion on my face but I still use this for my neck it's less sticky and absorbs nicely. It feels great going on to as well.

Works for me!
Let me just start by saying i have suuuuper dry skin. I got a sample of this moisturizer from the medi spa I go to. I like it because it actually goes into the skin and makes my skin feel hydrated and comfortable, versus just sitting on top and making my skin feel sticky and dry. I will definitely purchase a bigger bottle.

Really great moisturizer!!

Pros:

Light
No Scent
Good amount

Cons:

Cost

CeraVe is a great moisturizing lotion. I had tried so many moisturizers before trying CeraVe but I'm so glad I tried it. It's a little pricy for a broke college student like myself but it's with it and lasts you a pretty good amount of time. It's very moisturizing, yet very light. I suffer from acne yet lately my skin would get really dry especially after using the regimes Bp. This really went well with the regime and it does not break me out. I would recommend this for people with sensitive skin who need some moister.

SO glad I was recommended this!

Pros:

Very moisturizing
Helps with flaking
No new breakouts

Cons:

very very slight sting when applied but immeadiately goes away

I have had clear skin my whole life and have only broken out once badly in high school and then again recently being 21. Apparently I break out pretty bad due to a dairy sensitivity combined with hormones( just quit birth control). Anyways, I was put on oral antibiotics and two creams and my skin was extremely dry and flaky. My face being flaky made my acne look worse. I also tried tea tree oil which burnt my skin and I needed to heal that as well. Needless to say I searched and tried numerous products before being recommended this moisturizer. Total Godsend for me! My flakes were gone and minor burns were repairing themselves within one day! Now a couple days later, my skin is a huge difference. I would definitely recommend!

Good quality lightweight moisturizer

Pros:

No/Low scent
Not greasy
Very moisturizing

Cons:

Reacts slightly with BP

I've recently begun on the Regimen and started before I had a quality moisturizer. My skin was getting REALLY dry and I wanted to get rid of the visual effects of the hardening of the BP. The moisturizer I was using just wasn't cutting it, so I went out and got this one. After about 3 days my skin is almost back to it's normal moisture levels. It's not greasy though may not be heavy duty enough for the depths of winter. It hasn't caused breakouts or clogged pores. The Glycerin does react slightly with the BP on my face creating some mild tingling or burning if my skin is in bad shape but it fades.
