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:

Velvety skin

Cons:

Broke me out

I wanted to love this lotion, but after 2 days of use, I began to get little whiteheads in areas that I don't normally break-out. I stopped using it and my break-out immediately resolved.

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:

absorbs fast
easy to apply
doesn't make my face oily
skin feels soft

Cons:

when first applying I experienced burning that would turn my face kinda red and burned for about a week

I've been using this stuff for about 3 months now and I'm completely flake free and moisturized. Finally I don't have to switch products all the time. The initial burning/redness lasted only a week. I was upset about it at first but I guess my face just needed to adjust. Goes on smooth and I feel like it evens out my skin tone. At first I used 1 and a half pump. Now I only need half a pump. Maybe a full pump if it's cold and dry outside. This stuff is also really good for hands because it absorbs quickly and is not sticky.

Pros:

Made my skin less prone to flaking
Skin felt good - not dry or oily
Great pre-makeup layer

Cons:

Made my breakouts worse!

I had been using Dan's Regimen and all of the acne.org products, and I have to say that they have really made my acne much better. However, the flaking had never really stopped, and I tried all of the suggestions I could find on the forum here. So my mom had Cerave lotion at her house and on a whim I tried it. Oh, wow! Velvety is the most appropriate word you can use after you apply this stuff. Not greasy at all. It was like baby bottom skin on my face. That's nice, when you're almost 30. :) I went home and bought some and noticed within a few days that my chin started breaking out in those big, ouchy, under the skin zits. I thought, "Oh, my skin needs time to adjust," and so kept using it. It didn't stop. And then I started getting these weird zits along my jaw line and neck, which I had NEVER had before. I gave it months to make sure that if they were kinks, they could be worked out, but after this last round of jawline zits, I said enough. I ordered Dan's latest moisturizer to see if it was improved. Time shall tell. I am very sad Cerave didn't work for me. If I don't like Dan's lotion, I may try the Cerave cream in hopes that it won't do what the lotion did.

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:

Absorbs quickly
Odorless
Skin looks hydrated and glows
Does not cause breakouts
Affordable

Cons:

None

I can't believe I found a moisturizer that works on my face that comes in a large pump container! I was sick of paying 10 or more dollars for tiny bottles of moisturizer that wasn't that great. This stuff does not contribute to acne and works very well. I especially noticed its softening abilities on my neck. My skin became velvety.
