Please bring back the Old formula moisturizer, I know it is still sold in 2 ounce bottles but that is not cost effective. Now I have to order 8 of those at $5 A piece for a grand total of $40 for one months supply of moisturizer. Please offer both products Dan in the same economical large bottles. PLEASE! Nothing else is working well..

Pros:
  • The only good thing about it is it goes on light and absorbs well with Benzoyl Peroxide.
Cons:
  • It does not moisturize. I have been using the regimen for several years now with no problems at all, but this moisturizer has really messed up my skin. It does not moisturize well at all, my skin is extremely dry and flaky. I have experienced many breakouts and I am SO FED UP RIGHT NOW that this product was changed. I have not changed anything else other then this moisturizer in the regimen so I know it is the culprit.

best moisturizer ever!

Pros

  • matte finish. non-oily. overall best moisturizer i've ever used! can't believe I found the best moisturizer i've tried through acne.org.

Cons

  • if anything, the yellow color of the lotion can be a turn off, if anything. but i don't care, it works!
  • light
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

Overall, this is a good moisturizer, but I think it certainly be improved. It feels good and looks good on the skin, and gives you a good tone. But it also isn't moisturizing enough and leaves parts of the skin flaky. I've been also using Cetaphil at night in the flaky spots, but that still hasn't totally helped.

So I would recommend this, but also say that it is not perfect and I was hoping for something a bit more moisturizing.

Pros

  • This moisturizer feels good on the skin. It is light, so it doesn't feel heavy on your face. It is not shiny or greasy, and gives your skin a good color or glow. Nice feel, nice look. Won't break you out.

Cons

  • Unfortunately, it does not seem to be moisturizing enough. Even though I use more than the recommended amount, my skin can still be flaky--especially on the sides of my face. Even when adding jojoba oil at night, the flaking problem still persists. It has a fragrance that I don't particularly like. Sometimes it can ball up and flake off in certain areas.
  • moderate
  • for about a month
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

This is my second review for the new version. I initially loved this moisturizer, but it's been over a month now and realize it's simply not moisturizing enough. I got a mild breakout from having excessively dry skin. Added jojoba oil, and interestingly this worsened the dryness. I ended up going back to my cetaphil moisturizer. Really bummed, since I thought this was going to end my search for the perfect moisturizer...guess the search continues....

Pros

  • Doesn't break you out. I've used pretty much EVERYTHING out there, low and high end. Really one of the few (maybe only) moisturizers that doesn't break me out

Cons

  • Just not moisturizing enough. Even after two pumps. Even after adding jojoba oil.
  • light
  • for about a month

Before this I was using Cetaphil's moisturizer and although it hydrated my skin fairly well, it always felt thick and It made my skin feel tight and stiff after using it. Besides the fact that it always stung and burned after I applied after the BP. Dan's new moisturizer is amazing! It is lightweight and very hydrating, doesn't sting or burn, and doesn't make my face feel tight or stiff, but rather soft, smooth, and normal. The smell is very mild and I can't really even notice it. I am careful when applying it so as to not get it on my clothes since I have read that the yellow tint of this product can stain clothing. I couldn't be happier with this product! By far the best moisturizer I've used. Way to go Dan, you're awesome!

Pros

  • Lightweight
  • Soothing/Calming
  • Non-Irritating
  • Very Hydrating

Cons

  • Mild Scent
  • very light
  • for a day or two
  • $ 20
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I absolutely LOVE the new moisturizer. Though the old moisturizer was did a great job in eliminating flakes and keeping skin moisturized, it burned and left my skin feeling raw and shiny, consequently adding to irritation. However, this new moisturizer completely takes away redness from my skin (especially when i put a bit of AHA+ with it) and absorbs extremely well. My skin really absorbs the moisturizer well and there are no feelings of oiliness, burning, or any sort of even minor irritation.

This new moisturizer has completely reinvigorated my confidence in the regimen and after 2 month of redness from the moisturizer, I feel I can stick with the new moisturizer-powered regimen indefinitely. Fantastic job Dan!

Pros

  • Absorbs extremely well, no shine, soothing effect on skin, drastically reduced my redness.

Cons

  • None
  • moderate
  • for a few weeks
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I love this moisturizer. I used the old formula and even though it left my skin looking oily, it helped to prevent further breakouts. While waiting for this new moisturizer to be shipped to me, I ran out and had a bad breakout for a couple of days. Within two days of using this new moisturizer, not only was my breakout under control, but my acne has almost disappeared completely, which hasn't happened in years.

Pros

  • doesn't leave skin oily
  • skin feels smooth after breakouts
  • no stinging

Cons

  • NONE!
  • moderate
  • for about a week
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I am following the regimen with all the products from acne.org and have seen positive results in just two days. I'm amazed.

This is BY FAR the best moisturizer I have ever used.

Pros

  • absorbs and moisturizes well (but not oily)
  • skin feels tight and clean (but not dry)
  • no artificial colors or fragrance
  • the price is more than right
  • no allergic reaction or irritation

Cons

  • none
  • light
  • for a day or two
  • $ 15
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

Not as good as the original. Just when I found a moisturizer that worked wonders (i.e., Dan's original), he changes the formula to some yellow junk that is more expensive, tints skin and clothing, and is more expensive.

I think he should give the option to buy the new stuff or the old stuff. I wasted $30 (including shipping) for this new yellow junk. I need to find a new moisturizer...again. Very frustrating!

Pros

  • Goes on as easily as the original

Cons

  • Leaves skin with yellow tint
  • Stains white clothing yellow
  • Have to use a lot more than the original
  • More expensive initially, not to mention you use more so you need to buy more frequently ($$$)
  • very light
  • for about a week
  • $ 30
  • I do not recommend using this product/treatment.

Best face moisturizer I ever used. Much better than the old oily one.

Pros

  • Moisturizes very well. Dries fast. Matte finish. Doesn't smell bad. Yellow makes it look exclusive.

Cons

  • Two pumps really needed or is Dan just extorting us? White streaking before drying can be intimidating at first. Price is too expensive for a month supply.
  • light
  • for a few weeks
  • $ 20
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.

I like this moisturizer much better than the previous one for the many reasons every one else is stating; less irritation, calming, feels good on the skin, etc.

Only real drawback is that it leaves a yellow stain around my white collared t shirts where it comes in to contact with my neck. I washed one shirt and it still seems a little of the residue stayed.

If there was a way to make it not yellow in color, it would be perfect.

Cheers!

Pros

  • Softer on the skin than the previous moisturizer
  • Calming effect
  • Feels good when absorbed on skin

Cons

  • Yellow residue can stain white clothing
  • Sometimes still stings when putting on
  • moderate
  • for about a month
  • I recommend using this product/treatment.
