Pros:

Does not cause break outs
Not oily
Absorbs quickly

Cons:

Skin feels dry shortly after application

After spending a lot of money on several different products and finally doing research on which ingredients to avoid for acne prone skin, it finally came down to getting this one. Neutrogena Oil Free Combination Skin. I tried the Sensitive skin formula which really clogged my pores and the SPF 15 one also caused breakouts. There are several lists online of ingredients to avoid and I was completely in shock to see that although Neutrogena claims to be oil free and to not clog pores, their products contain some of the worst pore clogging ingredients on the list. However, Neutrogena Moisture Oil Free Combination Skin has only a couple 'bad' ingredients which are considered 'low level cloggers'. After researching each product I had bought and some I had read good reviews on, this one won hands down on the ingredient list. I've been using it for about 2 months now and have had no problems at all and have had no new break outs. Although it makes my skin feel a little dry sometimes, it doesn't actually cause dryness. Great product!

Pros:

-gets rid of dryness from Proactiv
-great under make-up
-doesn't smell like anything
-has never given me a breakout
-NO spf (their SPF version breaks me out)
-sits on face a little (I like that... less chemicals seeping into my body!)

Cons:

Wish it came in a huge bottle!

I use this at night after proactive and in the morning after I splash my face with water/ gentle cleanser. I've been doing this for 3 + years. Proactive keeps me 90% clear but when I do breakout, I usually get a lovely cyst or two, and this has never aggravated a breakout (whiteheads or cysts) of any sort. My jawline is SUPER dry, as well as my cheeks. However my forehead is an oil slick and this moisturizer has been perfect!

Pros:

Less shine
makes you look matte
non greasy
absorbs quickly
moisturized some areas

Cons:

Doesn't moisturize whole face
Clogged pores around nose
nose filled with blackheads/small red bumps
A little expensive
nose more oily?

I have a combination of oily(t-zone)/dry skin(cheeks,jaw, etc). At first this worked in the beginning. When i first bought it i had some redness/ irritation on my nose due to using oxy cleansing pads. It actually helped with the redness in the first 3 days. However, after a few weeks i started to notice my nose just kept getting clogged. My nose just kept getting blackheads, puss or white stuff from pores, bumps(clogged pores?) and very small red pimples. Even, when i exfoliate they return in 2 days.My nose is usually very oily but when i don't moisturize it seems to get worst. I really wanted this to work. Hard to find something that works for my skin.

The only thing that doesnt break me out
I've used this for a year, and have stopped using it and tried heavier moisturisers cause i found this wasnt as effective as moisturising, however i always find myself coming back. This is a very WEAK moisturiser. If your on antibiotics try something stronger. This does moisturiser and does control oil, and its the only thing that does not clog my pores.

Pros:

Doesn't have a strong, overwhelming scent.
Keeps dry spots moisturized.
I never experienced any residue, it went on smooth and kept the shiny part of my face at bay.

Cons:

Does it have SPF?
The product itself could be a little thicker, the texture it has is sort of runny.

Bottom line, this is one of the best moisturizers i've used. It does what it claims and a little bit goes a long way.

This stuff is miracle in a bottle! My skin looked like crocodile skin, but within a week of using this product, my skin was soft and smooth again! And best of all, absolutely no breakouts. My face has actually become completely clear since starting to use this product. There is nothing negative I can think of to say about it! I love it!

meh
I dont recommend it. I ran out of my previous moisturizer ( which is my mums sheseido white lucent with spf, but its too expensive) so I opted for this one instead. My face have never been so oily before after 4 hours of application. I was off accutane for 3 months now. This moisturizer didnt seem too help. Makes my face even more oily.

Pros:

-went on really light
-not greasy
-cute bottle

Cons:

-wasnt moisturizing enough
-strange feeling to the skin
-made my nose shiny

The product seemed to be good at first, but it really didn't do much for my skin. It was still dry, but it made parts of my skin get greasy. However, my younger sister with oily skin swears by this!
