| Pros | Light moisturizer so it's easier to spread with the light touch of my fingers. It definitely moisturizes well and does not break me out |
|---|---|
| Cons | It could just be me but I found this lotion to be quite irritating to my face. Though there isn't any fragrance in this moisturizer, my skin felt like it was burning, similar to when I use the AHA. This also gives my face a very greasy look, I think it's because I am using the recomended dosage on my small face and it's actually to much on me. |
| Bottom line | I would have stuck with this if it wasn't irritating. I just don't understand why that happened when this is supposed to be specially formulated to be a very gentle moisturizer. I suspect its the new licochalcone ingredient or am I the ONLY one who found it irritating, or do I just have extremely sensitive skin? I'm currently using Cetaphil, though it moisterizes well and without irritation, it is too thick for my liking, but would be afraid to try Acne.org's lotion again any time soon. |

| Pros | No breakouts, moisturizes dry skin, little bit goes a long way (for me), cheap. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Makes my T-zone feel like a slip n' slide. |
| Bottom line | This stuff works on my dry parts, but I've found that I have to use a VERY small amount, or the oily parts of my face will be EXTRA oily. Its a great product though. I give props to any moisturizer that doesn't break out my skin. |

| Pros | -Very smooth and light formula, not thick and greasy! |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Doesn't moisturize enough -The yellow color is annoying, can stain clothes and can be visible when you wipe sweat off your forhead -Can irritate the eyes a little bit -Smells weird |
| Bottom line | I would stick to my Cetaphil Moisturizer. This would have been pretty good without the yellowing color effect, I like how it does on very smooth and light. It does dry out and doesn't provide enough help much, I've used 3 pumps like what was recommended. |

| Pros | Does a great job at moisturizing when used correctly. |
|---|---|
| Cons | After applied, it feels gross on the face and does not dry, its messy feeling. |
| Bottom line | This moisturizer has worked really well for me, I am on the acne.org regimen and am using all of the products which i think work great! REALLY great actually. The best way to use this moisturizer is to apply 2 pumps gently to your face after applying the BP, once it dries a bit, add the third pump. If you apply it like this it will for sure take away the flakiness, and once it dries, and you still see flakiness just dab on a bit more and its sure to do the trick. My issues with this moisturizer is that if i so much as touch my face my hand instantly gets greasy and dirty feeling, even if i try to rub it into my hand from the interaction, it feels dirty and gross, and have to wash it off. This moisturizer may be great when applying solo, but with the BP underneath it does this thing where it travels and does not dry on my face completely. It feels sticky, and does not dry to a smooth surface at all. I feel gross when wearing it, like i don't want to give anybody a hug incase my face touches them and they feel sticky from me (nasty i know) i recommend aveeno and cetaphil which are both very moisturizing and feel cleaner on the face Good Luck and hope this helps!!! |

| Pros | Non-fragranced; Non-irritating; Better at moisturizing than the latter. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Color; Thickness; Takes more time to put on then using the older version of this product. |
| Bottom line | I used to like the old formula better but have grown used to this one. I use 1 and 1/2 pumps for this. I think the recommended dose is too high for me, I have a smaller face then Dan. I add 4 drops of jojoba oil for during the day. After ten minutes, I blot my face gently with a tissue and this gets the excess oil off of my face. Bottom line is I like the older one better, but I have experienced less dryness/itching with the new one. Dan should (if possible) produce the two different ones because I think this will not work for everyone. My acne is very light now (previously moderate with horrible redness and scars) due to using the regimen. |

| Pros | doesn't make my skin oily or feel heavy |
|---|---|
| Cons | even though I put on 2 or 3 layers twice a day my face is still dry and flaky. I've tried mixing it with Jojoba oil, it's still flaky. Never had this much trouble when I was using Olay, I will probably switch back |
| Bottom line | needs to do a better job against flakiness |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | Good for my heels and elbows because it can stay glopped on and thick. |
|---|---|
| Cons | It has not helped my skin like the old moisturizer. All my bumps that were gone are now back. It is too thick and doesn't get into my skin. |
| Bottom line | Might be good for leathery skin, but doesn't help skin with comedones and slow cell turnover rates. |
| Recommended | No |

| Pros | Great moisture for my skin, Glad that I can get it in so many different sizes. |
|---|---|
| Cons | None yet! |
| Bottom line | I love this moisturizer. It really helps to calm my skin down when it is flaky, but doesn't make my oily spots oily! My skin feels great! This moisturizer is the only one I have found that doesn't clog up my pores. It mixes well with the jojoba oil when I choose to use that, but is great on it's own as well. The only note on this moisturizer is that I find I only need one pump for my face, neck, and chest as opposed to the 3 pumps that it tries to get you to use. That is just WAY too much product for me. So, start small and work your way up until you find the amount that works for you. |

| Pros | - a miracle - actually moisturizes unlike all the other crap labelled 'moisturizer' -recently did 10% tca peel, was left with super SUPER dry skin - this HEALED it instantly!!! - moisturizes for the entire day -skin NEVER feels taught or dry -need a tiny amount to moisturize |
|---|---|
| Cons | -none |
| Bottom line | -best moisturizer ever -i've tested this after various peels (10% TCA, 50% Mendalic, 30% Glycolic) and this has moisturized my skin! -the new formula is a joke -PLEASE bring this back!!! -i've researched moisturizers, and skincare ingredients ad nauseum, and I still can't find anything to rival this formula |
