Pros:

oil-free
fragrance-free
no alcohol
wont clog pores
not greasy

Cons:

nothing!

My face gets really dry but if i put the wrong moisturizer on i will break out. I have been looking for a year for the best moisturizer and i finally found it! I asked my doctor and my derm. and they both said try Cetaphil, they said it was the best out there. It sucked... it made me brake out the most of all the things i tried. Use this it good and it does its job!

Pros:

The best moisturizer I've used on my face. Goes over Dan's benzoyl peroxide beautifully.

Cons:

Perhaps a tad bit expensive for the quantity

This is the best nighttime moisturizer I've found. However, I do not have oily skin, so I can only speak for those with normal skin. Get this, Eucerin Q15 for the daytime, and Lac Hydrin Five for your body, and your skin will thank you.

Have used it for years, possibly causing more acne this whole time

Pros:

Very light
No added perfumes or dyes

Cons:

A little pricey for a tiny bottle
Contains pore clogging ingredient
Leaves skin oily

I am in love with this moisturizer! I use a heavier Cetaphil lotion at night with jojoba oil, and it really slicks up my face. So during the day I needed something that was super light. I had previously tried Cetaphil's Daily Facial Moisturizer with SPF, and it seriously burned my face so bad. I thought it was normal for your face to hurt after using moisturizer. Neutrogena's is so soothing, never makes my skin too shiny, and just glides on my face very well. Wish it wasn't so expensive, but it's a pretty typical price for a moisturizer. UPDATE 08/16/15 My review above was written several years ago. I am still battling acne. This past week I was about to pick up another bottle of this when I decided to check out the ingredients list. One of the ingredients is Isopropyl isostearate, which is listed on acne.org's "Comeodogenic (pore clogging) ingredients" list. It is the very first ingredient on the list!! I quit using it this week and switched to CeraVe moisturizing lotion and WOW. What a difference! When I use this moisturizer, I often wake up with my face very, very oily. I thought this was normal. Well, since switching my skin is not so oily anymore. I have gotten back on the acne.org regimen the past 2 months and have made big improvements, but abandoning this moisturizer has set me over the edge and am seeing even more improvement! So glad I quit using this after so many years!!

Pros:

Oil-free, won't clog pores; Fragrance-free, no cheesy smells; Powerful, my face glows!:

Cons:

Absotuley non.

This is the BEST moisturizer ever! It doesn't give me rashes, thank god. My face glows after using it, and it still feels smooth after a couple of hours after application. My skin is so sensitive that even the sensitive skin-targeted products out there can give me rashes and zits, like La Roche Posay(worst product line I ever tried). It's cheap and it's amazing. Give it a try!

Pros:

-Fragrance Free
-Oil-Free
-Seems to keep my face from getting more oily as well
-Great for sensitive skin!

Cons:

-Can sometimes burn a bit for the first few seconds, but not nearly as bad as Cetaphil and other dermatologist suggested products I've tried

Best I've found for sensitive skin yet, so I'm sticking with this lotion unless someone points out something even better!

Pros:

It works amazingly! Apply it once a day and your skin will start looking and feeling much better.

Cons:

Greasy. Avoid using it during the day since your skin will be shiny after the application.

Great product. I've tried several moisturizers and this is by far the most effective one. It's also not that much expensive. Only problem is having the skin shining after you apply it, but nothing is perfect in life.

Pros:

unscented, oil free

Cons:

Petrolatum!!!! clogged pores.....

At first I thought this product would be perfect for my skin because I have sensitive skin. after a few months of using it i noticed small pimples always coming out. i looked in the ingredients and i saw it contains Petrolatum!!!!! not good at ALL if you have acne prone skin!!!!!!

Pros:

I break out if I use products that are extremely harsh so this works great. I bought it because I needed a nighttime moisturizer without an SPF (I also use Neutrogena Healthy Defense SPF 45 for the day) and I stay moisturized all through the night!

Cons:

No SPF, so it wouldn't be good for day use. You have to buy two moisturizers if you want one with SPF and one without, which can get a little pricey (in the 20-25 dollar range with my Neutrogena products).

It's definitely worth it for me! It doesn't make me break out, it keeps my skin soft and fresh without any harsh and irritating ingredients or fragrances, and my skin looks great!
