I am extremely prone to breakouts, which is why I have to use oil free lotions on my face. Not all oil-free lotions prevent my skin from breaking out, though. This is by far the thickest oil-free lotion I've ever put on my face. I liked it and hoped that it would work for me, but after two days, I started breaking out. I had to stop using it. I gave it to my sister who loves it, so it really depends on your skin.
