Pros:

Amazingly moisturizing w/ NO greasiness or shine, my skin stays soft & smooth now (even if I skip a day), doesn't irritate sensitive skin, redness is gone, my acne is clearing up (w/o BP!), unscented, great light texture, water-based, hypoallergenic

Cons:

Not yet available everywhere. (Fortunately my local Walgreens carries the lotion, but not the cleanser or the cream.)

This stuff really is incredible. Although I like Dan's cleanser and BP gel, I was having unsatisfactory results with his moisturizer. No matter what I did, I could not get rid of the shine on my forehead and it caused me to continue to break out, even when treating with large amounts of BP Gel at night. I saw some reviews here for CeraVe, but I was skeptical, so I started looking around on the web. That did it for me! Everywhere I looked, from Amazon to [link removed], and even on support group sites for people with skin conditions like rosacea and eczema, nearly everyone praised this stuff. I found it at my local Walgreens for $12.99 (not bad, considering the size) so I decided to try it. It truly is amazing. Almost feels too light at first, but it actually moisturizes throughout the day and doesn't cause acne or shine. (In fact, I'm clearing up w/o BP!) Using it on my body even cleared up all my eczema patches! Now, my skin feels comfortable all the time. Seriously, try it!

Currently really enjoying this, I like that it contains ceramides and HA. I can't comment on how it is with very dry skin as since I've been using the cleanser my skin has been less dry. Sinks in well and doesn't leave me shiny

The Best

I love this lotion. I use it on the regimen in conjunction with the BP and face wash. I find it very hydrating and it does not break me out at all. I have had points of putting it on every couple of hours just from being so dried out from BP and its much more soothing than other lotions I have tried.

my go-to

The only thing that worked for me while on Accutane, and I've been using it ever since.  My skin has gone through very dry and oily seasons of life but it is the best no matter what.

A literal life saver!!!!!
This lotion, after six months is one i still use everyday and it makes your complexion so smooth with such a little amount especially when you're on the regimen. I saw no breakouts when i made the switch and i continue to see none after using it for so long

Great.

Pros:

Moisturizes
Doesn't clog my pores.
Not thick.

Cons:

Your skin can look greasy the first 45 minutes after applied.

Best lotion I've tried. Works best as a night moisturizer in my opinion.

Pros:

amazing .... after using Cetaphil and it burning my face off in conjunction with Epiduo ... its making my skin look the best it ever has. Its not greasy at all and I feel it actually absorbs into skin instead of laying on top

Cons:

none so far

totally recommend it

Pros:

Goes on smooth
Doesn't irritate skin
non-greasy

Cons:

None

This is my favorite of several moisturizers that I've tried. The ingredients are pretty good; I don't believe it's led to breakouts. I am a male and use Dan's BP, which dries out my skin a bit. I've relied on this moisturizer quite a bit to help repair the dry skin, and am pleased with the results. It doesn't always alleviate the flakiness, but for the price you can't beat it.

Pros:

very light, almost gel-like consistency, doesn't make me break out, non-greasy

Cons:

none, really.. wish it had SPF but I have never found an SPF lotion that wasn't super sticky and greasy

so I decided to use this lotion after extensive research (I research all my products, and i'm a product junkie). I love the consistency, as I said above, as its non-greasy and feels really light. BE CAREFUL THOUGH because the pump dispenses a LOT of lotion-- its made for the whole body but works better than any face lotion i've tried. a little bit goes a looonnnggg way! try a tiny bit and build from there. less is more. I use from head to toe-- great lotion! oh ps... go to Rite Aid and some walgreens stores. or [link removed]. otherwise, you may not be able to find it. its about twelve dollars, but it'll last you half a year or more and I use it for the entire body!
