Cetaphil

This doesn't work on me despite so many people loving it. Break me out and I didn't feel clean. Might just be me though because so many people swear by it.

Despite the label saying that this product is for dry to very dry skin, it’s really not. The consistency is that of a thick serum, and it definitely didn’t moisturize my skin enough, although it might work for oilier skin types. I also experienced some itching whenever I applied it, and my skin felt a bit hot afterwards.

I love this moisturizer. It has a creamy consistency. It doesn't contain fragrance. It is very hydrating and soothing. My skin feels good after using it. It never breaks me out. I use it on my face and body.
My only complaint is I wish it weren't in a tub. Jars and tubs expose it to air and bacteria from having to dip into it. This can make it expire faster. If this were a small jar that wouldnt be a problem, since I would go through it faster. However, I am glad the large container saves on cost. I have bought this multiple times and will continue to do so.

Pros:
does its job at moisturizing.
Hydrating and soothing.
No irritating ingredients.
Good deal.

Cons:
owned by a company that tests on animals.
Unsanitary packaging when compared to pump packaging.

Excellent value, already on my 2nd bottle. I've tried a few different methods of removing eye makeup. I'm prone to getting styes and have to be very careful. I like using cleansing milk or oil cleansers on my face to remove foundation and SPF, but I wanted something especially for the eye area that would be very gentle. I saw that this was recommend by an ophthalmologist in a magazine (forget which) so I tried it out. The important thing to remember is that this is a biphasic remover, so you *have* to shake it before using! Otherwise, you're only going to get the thick, viscous silicone layer on top, and it'll feel awful. When you shake it, it gets thinner and more pleasant to use.

I use Lisa Eldridge's method of sandwiching my lashes between two cotton pads soaked in cleanser and just tapping along the lashline with my finger to dislodge the pigment. No rubbing whatsoever. It does a pretty good job for eyeshadow and mascara that way. If I've tightlined my lashline with waterproof mascara then I need to go in with a q-tip soaked in this to get that off. I also dab my eyebrows with this.

This definitely needs to be followed up with a gentle cleanser to remove any residue, but that's normal to me. I am using Bioderma's gel face wash for sensitive skin right now, and it does a great job. My eye area is neither dry nor irritated and there aren't raccoon eyes or anything like that, for the first time in my life. Stye-free, too!

For the price, you absolutely can't go wrong. I think Cetaphil knocked it out of the park with this one.

This could easily be advertised as a "dewy finish" sunscreen. It may absorb sebum, but the sunscreen itself is super shiny.

It also burned my eyes so badly I almost had to pull over because I could barely open my eyes while driving. Maybe I'm just allergic to something in it, idk.
