I first tried this when I bought it at a clearance sale in Five Below. It's amazing! I hated the fact that every moisturizer I had used clogged my pores and would cause me numerous white head. But this moisturizer was fresh, light, and did it's job well. Even though it has salicylic acid in it it did not dry me out at all or over moisturize. It even evened out my skin tone and gave me really nice glow through out. I really wish it was still available in stores!!

I really liked this. It's really moisturizing, but it adds just enough moisturization. I have seen a definite improvement with my acne. It feels great on skin and it smells very fresh. Neutrogena makes so many great products, an this is defintiely one of them. I def recommend this.

Well this moisturised my skin really well in the warmer months but now in the winter it is just not cutting it.
This doesn't break me out and make my acne worse which is a huge plus, however whilst it doesn't cause acne it also does nothing to help treat the areas of my face that have breakouts but I have never had that expectation from moisturisers.
It absorbs pretty quickly and is an good base for makeup. There is a slight tingly sensations when applying it which some people might not like, but I didn't mind it.
Won't be repurchasing this in winter but if the one I've switched to now proves too heavy for summer then I would go back to using this.

Normally I use products with more salicylic acid (this has only 0.5%). This lotion is too mild and moisturizing for me most of the time, but whenever my skin is drier or more irritated than usual, it's perfect. I wish they'd leave the scent out of facial skincare products, but I don't mind it as scents go--it's a bit like baby powder. I also like to use this on my underarms and bikini area, after using my epilator--it soothes and combats bumps and ingrowns.

I borrowed this while away from home and not having my normal moisturizer. I was pleasently surprised how well this worked. I'm surprised at the other reviews saying it left their skin oily, I actually noticed a significant decrease in oil on my face while having this on, will def purchase my own.

I don't use this all over my face, just on the areas that I know are prone to breakingout. It feels light and helps keep my skintone even. I get those read spots sometimes where a break out might occur, but I hardly get actual zits. It is a good base for foundation too. It comes in a small amount though, which can get annoying and it is not carried everywhere. But I have bought this product more times than i can count.

I brought this only because i've been using the neutrogena face wash and it has done wonders for my skin. I do like this moisturiser but it makes my skin sooo oily, my make up barely stays on until the end of the day as it just seems to slide off! even after i take my make up off my face is still oily. I must say it does moisturise well compared to another oil free product i was using and i have noticed that a lot of my red marks from previous breakouts have faded since using this, it also has quite a pleasent sweet smell. Im going to continue to use it and see if my skin stays as clear as it is now!

I have oily skin with moderate acne. I do not like this moisturizer. It made my skin shiny and gross looking. I know no moisturizer can stop oil, but I found a moisturizer that makes my skin soft, raidiant, and it holds off oil for awhile.(its the enrich moisturizer at trader joes just so you know.) Also, this moisturizer did nothing for my acne. The packaging is nice, but I won't be repurchasing, no matter how cheap.

After a week of using this, it broke me out and I don't even have problems with pimples really. I switched to Olay Complete Defense All Day Moisturizer and loved it. I gave this away but I don't even remember to who.

It moisturizes well, can't beat oil free, but the smell is awful and prevents me from using it. Yeah I've tried holding my breath, but a product shouldn't be torture, right? If they improve the smell I will try again.

This moisturizer actually does what it says it does! For me it leaves my skin feeling moisturized, soft and it's helped to clear up some of the bumps I have on my chin that have been such a hassle to get rid of. It does have a tingly sensation when you put it on but I believe that is the salcylic acid doing it's work. Before this I was using Oil of Olay complete everyday moisturizer with SPF and it was making me break out on my chin and didn't moisturize...at all. But this stuff works well for my skin! I gave the packaging quality a 4 because mine doesn't seem to want to stand up on my counter.

I'm surprised at all the negative reviews--I love this moisturizer. It's nice and light, perfect for my oily skin, and sinks in quickly without making me in the least bit greasy. It is fragranced, which worried me at first since my skin can be a bit finicky, but it has not broken me out or caused any irritation. This contains salicylic acid 0.5% which is supposed to help exfoliate and keep pores clear of debris.

I give it four lippies out of five because I still get blackheads on my nose sometimes and this hasn't helped eliminate them. However it has helped keep my skin clear on my forehead and cheeks, and my nose has always been a problem area for me so I didn't expect this to work miracles on it anyway :P I will repurchase this when I run out. I had been using Alpha Hydrox enhanched lotion prior to this and it wasn't doing much for me; I like this much better.

Sometimes I wonder why I still use this product... I mean, yeah, it smells nice and make my skin feel soft after using it, but that's it. I break out quite often, and I don't think this moisturizer actually ever help prevent the break out. Sigh... but yeah, if you have super oily skin like me and want a moisturizer for winter, this might be an OK choice.

A good but lame moisturizer at the same time.
This will not help you if you have severe acne. The occasional bump or two, but not bad cystic acne.
If you had dry skin, this will not be your friend either.
It is not the most moisturizing formula out there. It smells nice and feels nice, there's calming ingredients so if you get red bumps it will really help.
I am very physically active, especially during the summer months and this is a great moisturizer for then, when you don't want something heavy.
I took a lipstick off since it didn't really -improve- my acne so much as it didn't aggravate it.
And I took another off since there was no spf and it didn't really moisturize.

It was also costly for the amount you get $12 at shoppers drug mart. For $4 you can buy Clean & Clear ant acne moisturizer which comes with more, has more salasylic acid and moisturizers better.
I would not buy this again, I would just buy the better deal of clean&clear. It is not as calming, but I would suggest a good calming toner or mixing it with aloe vera gel (which helps get rid of that sort of crusty feeling you can get from aloe vera gel).

I didn't expect much from this product and yet, I was still disappointed.

Pros:
The smell was light and kind of nice.
It was not heavy and it "soaked" into the skin fast.

Cons:
After weeks of using it, I did not see any effects-
I was still breaking out and my skin was still dry in many areas.

Overall, this product basically did nothing for my skin.

I bought this to replace my beloved Avon skin solutions moisturizer and at first I loved this. It smells great and I can feel it "working". Since using it though, my face has been breaking out like crazy and it leaves me super shiny and oily. I will be switching to something else and not buying this again.

I gave this moisturizer 3 lippies because it was light, but it made me shiny. It smells good, and I can feel the acne medicine in it, but since I recently figured out that my skin is sensitive, my skin has not been breaking out much since I switched over to Olay's sensitive foaming face wash. It really has saved my skin and it's clearing most of my acne away.

Anyways, it does do what it says, it's just not for me. Shininess is something I hate! ..and I feel like it takes a while to absorb for my combo/sensitive skin.

I got this for $6 at wal-mart. It's worth a try if you have dry/normal skin and have acne. It might work for ya!
