Pros:

Goes on nicely and absorbs well.
It's very light and has a nice smell.
It helps with dryness or flakiness.
Skin feels hydrated after using it.
Cheap.

Cons:

It can make the skin look quite sweaty, especially on a sunny day.
Sometimes requires reapplying in the middle of the day.
The product itself is small and does not last long if used morning (on days without sun) and night.

I've used this on and off for around 2 years and for the price it certainly does a decent job. I've found it works well to control flakiness, especially if on benzoyl peroxide. The problem is if your skin can be oily, this will make it look slightly worse. This moisturiser can give a "sweaty look" to your face as if you've been working out, but if used sparingly and rubbed in gently enough it's just a light shine that is manageable.

Pros:

-Very light so is absorbed quickly
-Non greasy
-Smells fresh
-Leaves skin feeling moisturised but non sticky/oily

Cons:

Doesn't get rifd of acne

A really good everyday moisturiser but doesnt get rid of acne. I did find however that it helped reduces the severity of my acne, and it helped prevent large pimples

Pros:

It absorbs fast, it gives a fresh feeling and it smells good.

Cons:

Doesn't work a lot on acne. However I think it makes them a little bit smaller.

I wouldn't recommend this product since I've found similar products (from Yves-Rocher) that is only slightly more expensive than this moisturizer.

Pros:

It dries quickly and it smells good. Fights new pimples well

Cons:

doesn't work as well after a while...hard to find at stores so you have to buy online which is a rip off. Also the tube is small

It's a good moisturizer and fights acne at the same time. In the beginning it shrank every new pimple I got, but now it takes a while to get rid of them...but it still does the job. By the way, I just got off accutane for the second time, so maybe my skin texture changed.

Pros:

Makes skin look really good right after use, evens out skin tone, light moisturizer cancels out drying effects of S.A.

Cons:

I'm not sure how much it did for me when I had heavier acne

Pretty good, a little small
