Pros
inexpensive; fragrance-free and noncomedogenic; super absorbent and non greasy; controlled release keeps skin hydrated for longer
long lasting moisturizer, so you won't need to apply it every day; pleasant fragrance
inexpensive; non-greasy formula that absorbs quickly into your skin; fragrance-free version good for sensitive skin
Cons
doesn't contain sunscreen; doesn't contain antioxidants
expensive and not necessarily better than drugstore brands; jar packaging exposes the lotion to the air which can cause ingredients (esp. antioxidants) to break down, so you are better off buying the tube; fragrance may irritate sensitive skin
formula hasn't been changed in years; doesn't contain antioxidants; tested on animals; doesn't include sunscreen if you are wearing it during the day
