Nope, doesn't break me out at all. My skin is all over the place, sometimes is seems super oily then other times I get dry patches. It's not really localized to my T-zone or anything, but I guess I'd call mine combination skin as well. I find the proactiv cleanser to be the most drying for me - I actually like the lotion, but find it makes my skin feel greasy once it's all absorbed.

Anyways... the honey is fabulous for many reasons. Read here:

And I'm glad Cetaphil has worked out for you! I used to use that a few years ago... maybe I should try it again...

But this winter I've been using honey on my face after I'm done cleansing, and holy jeeze, I didn't have a single dry patch on my face the whole season. In fact my skin is smoother and nicer looking than it's ever been before! I just washed my face as usual, then rubbed in some honey and washed it off right away. It leaves the skin sooo smooth and nice for putting makeup on too. I'd recommend it!

Wow, honey? I definately gotta try that! LOL I hope I don't lick it off before it has a chance to work it's magic on my face!
