Ok so it doesn't say that you can put it on your face and it looks like it's just for the body, I dont think I would put it on my face just because the skin on the face is alot more sensitive than the skin on our bodys, therefore the ingredients in it wont be suitable for your face, if you get what I mean :)

If you have acne prone skin, do not use it! It contains petrolatum which clogs the pores and will cause you to break out even more. But if you don't get acne, it might be ok for your face.

You're very welcome. My skin breaks out too but it has been getting clear with African black soap.

For a good moisturizer that won't cause your face to break out, check out Burt's Bees Intensive Hydration night cream. http://www.burtsbees.com/natural-products/face-care-intense-hydration/intense-hydration-night-cream.html

(Don't confuse it with the day cream, which looks similar but doesn't give as much moisture). I also use this cream in the morning after I wash my face. It's a little pricey but worth every penny. And it will last a while because a little bit goes a long way with this product. You won't need to use a ton of it to achieve results. It can be found at drugstores, walmart, Target etc

Actually, no it's not. Once you hit your eye area with that everyday, you've started the process of dehydrated eyes (dark circles) and/or white spots, and even wrinkles. And to test, you place the product on the inside of arm at night before bed. That way it does not get washed off....But it's up to you if you want to do that.

Yes, but it would be more beneficial to have a facial moisturizer. Sometimes lotions (that are made for your body) can cause breakouts or clog your pores.

aveeno has facial moisturizers that are pretty nice you should check them out!

you can test a product on your inner arm but i know that my arms are obv much less sensitive than my FACE. so a product on my arm may be fine but my face it may not be.. and that lotion is not for your face unless it's like, all you have and it's a one time thing. aveeno makes face lotions so if that's what you want why don't you get that?

What about baby lotion from Johnson's can I use that one

No it's not a face lotion. Facial skin is diff than body skin. It has different needs. It will make you more oily and could clog pores. Aveeno makes a face moisturizer, use that

You want to use a lotion that is Non-Comedogenic so it won't clog your pores!

Just simply switch to the Aveeno facial lotion.The ph levels on your facial skin is different than your skin from the neck down.Try Aveeno's moisturiser for day and use their night cream at night.This should help balance out any dryness you have been experiencing.

There's lotion that is passable, that doesn't do a ton of harm, but doesn't really do anything helpful either and Aveeno is one of them, filled with lovely chemicals. If you're going to the trouble to take care of your face you should probably use something that is actually good for it. I love Garden of Wisdom's products for this reason.
