Pros:

Used it for years with no problem until now.

Cons:

I don't know if the formula has changed or I have become sensitive to this moisturizer. It stings my skin now and causes breakouts.

I will not be using this product again as it has stopped working for me.

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

Broke me out so badly I had to go on medication.

I used this ONCE because I had been using some very harsh 3 step cleansers for my acne. I was getting very flaky from BP and desperately needed a moisturizer. I picked this up because I saw it was labeled sensitive and it had the least ingredients out of all of the Neutrogena moisturizers. I only used it in my flaky areas, because I was aware that it may break me out...which eventually it did. I noticed the very next day I had some small bumps on my right cheek. I had never in my life broken out on my cheeks before I used this product. Within two weeks my cheeks were so broken out that it hurt to eat, laugh, smile...basically enjoy life. I went to a dermatologist and ended up going on Doxycycline. This was 4 months ago and I am now dealing with tons of red hyperpigmentation on my cheeks that is taking forever to fade. Again, I had never experienced more than one or two pimples on my cheeks and within two weeks of using this only the areas I had used it on were broken out. Be aware...there must be some insane ingredient in this that my skin must hate.

Pros:

. Adequate sun protection

Cons:

. Burns
. Redness
. Greasy feel
. Leaves a sheen

This is not a product for sensitive skin, particularly not skin undergoing acne treatment. Rather than healing and moisturizing, this product sometimes hurt so badly that I had to rinse it off.

Pros:

Gets crustyness away
doesn't sting

Cons:

-doesn't absorb well
-causes small whiteheads

Got away the crusty caused by benzaclin, but left my skin oily and caused breakouts. If you must, use it in only the problem areas and blot with blotting sheets afterwards.

Pros:

Fragrance and dye-free. Somewhat moisturizing.

Cons:

Greasy if too much is applied

This is fragrance-free but it does not have an odor, which is a huge plus for me. My sensitive skin loves it, and my nose appreciates it. To keep it from going greasy, I only apply a little bit. Then I add a bit more where needed, since the weather is drying my skin out a lot. However, I might switch to another brand. 4 ounces for $11 is only ok. I'd rather go for something cheaper. This is one of the best moisturizers I have.

Pros:

no oiliness

Cons:

still a bit dry, breaks me out

i recently switched moisturizers (cetaphil to neutrogena sensitive skin) and at first i thought i liked it, but now on day 4, my skin is much more red and broken out than it was before. i have about 5 new pimples and im thinking of going back on cetaphil even though it definitely wasn't my favorite. ughhhhhhhh.

Great Moisturizer.
Lightweight and non-greasy. Gives my skin a nice glow & doesn't irritate my skin. Good for sensitive, combo/oily skin.

Don't use when using over the top of BP

Pros:

Good if you have good skin and are just looking for a everyday moisturiser

Cons:

Burns, stings and irritates when used over BP

This was great when I first started the Regimen, but now my skin gets kind of red and sensitive from using BP often. I found it was great for the first week but then it began to really burn my skin. I do not recommend this product if you are using Benzoyl Peroxide or any other harsh chemicals on your face. However, I do recommend if you are just looking for a good moisturiser for everyday use and your skin is in good condition.

Pros:

Good item for oily skin
Didn't break me out
Works well under makeup

Cons:

Not the longest lasting product
Not the best for very dry skin

Worked good for me, but I am naturally very oily. Did its job and didn't leave a really oily sheen. Worked well under makeup. Not the best for very dry skin. Doesn't control major flakes for very long after applied if that is what you are looking for. More of a lightly moisturizing product.

Pros:

Works great

Cons:

N/A

I really can't think of any cons for this product. I've been using it for 7 years now and it does a great job. No crazy smell either. My holy grail moisturizer. I don't know what I would do if they stopped making it.
