Pros Great consistency, moisturizes well, eliminates flakiness, oiliness subsides within 20-30 minutes
Cons only that it is not available in stores (although that would make the price go up)
Bottom line This is by far my favorite moisturizer. It is non-oily, yet effective. The wateriness takes a little getting used to, but that consistency makes it extremely easy to spread without clumping. Highly recommended.

Pros good price (college student)
thin consistency.
extremely moisturizing but not oily!
Cons there is a cinnamon odor (although it's fragrance free) that takes a little getting used to. i stung at first application but after a few washes my skin adapted easily.
Bottom line i have mixed oily/dry sensitive mild acne. before using the 3 step acne.org system i was religously using proactiv for 6 years. this is the best moisturizer i have ever used! although it has a slight sting with the cinnamon odor, it doesn't seem to negatively effect my sensitive skin. it also seems to be controlling the oil production on my face quite nicely (which is a problem i had to resolve with the oil control cream with proactiv). i would highly recommend this product and the other two acne.org products for anyone who is fed up with the inconsistency of proactiv and is looking for a change! this is the only system that has worked for me! good luck to everyone!

Pros Moisturizes skin, leaving it hydrated and oil free underneath make up.
Cons When you sleep with it on at night it feel a little funny. Not oily or sticky, I can't really put a word on it but it doesn't bother me at all because I know I will not have any new pimples when I wake up in the morning.
Bottom line Dan's products WORK. They're MY solution, and they could be your's too. All the over the counter stuff NEVER worked on me. Proactive, no. Triclear, no. Oxy, no. Neutrogena, no. You get the picture.

Pros It moisturizes well and does a great job at combating the flakiness and dryness cause be bp
After rubbed into your face the scent which some people complain about leaves and it really is fragrance-free
Cons When applied to extra flaky or sensitive areas on the face it gives a stinging sensation and becomes red but then the redness and stinging go away in a few minutes also I'm not such a big fan of the extra watery consistency that it has
Bottom line This is a great basic moisturizer for not extremely dry skin. but sometimes i apply this and then put on a more rich and nourishing moisturizer to extra dry areas.A few little tweaks that Dan seems to be working out and this could be the greatest moisturizer ever. But still I would definitely recommend this to a close friend or family member!

Pros It smells sooooooooooooo good! Very light and fast absorbing. Works well under make-up.
Cons For some reason it really really stings my face especially under my nose.
Bottom line It seems it stings some people and not others, despite the stinging it doesn't make me break-out and thats worth it!

Pros Goes on super light and absorbs very well, also even though it has no fragrance it smells strangely good.
Cons Could be more moisterizing, but then it would be accompanied by a more greasy and heavy feeling, unless Dan can do something magical.
Bottom line Best moisterizer ever!

Pros Nice light consistency, generous size and convenient bottle
Cons Cinnamon odor, burned my face slightly and then my neck broke out in a horribly itchy rash.
Bottom line I can't use it...wish I could. I also had the feeling that whatever causes that fragrance caused my reaction. I actually tried it again after the rash healed (took about a week) just to be sure. The rash came back when I started using it again.

Pros Very lightweight, yet works unbelievably well!
Cons Not a single one.
Bottom line I almost never review products, but this one is worth the time. I've been using it for about 2 months now, and am amazed at how well it works. Flakiness is totally gone, and my skin is as healthy as it's been in a long time. Here's something interesting: Dan's regimen seems to work better for me if I use the moisturizer FIRST, and the BP gel last (after washing). Reversing those two steps completely cleared my skin.

Pros Cost effective (ish), big bottle, smooth, absorbs easily
Cons Not as effective on flakes as Cetaphil, have to lose of it for it to be effective, Leaves my skins feeling dry and flakey after a few hours.
Bottom line I have been using this for a few months. I wanted to give a fair trial. However the results are not great. This moisteriser is not 100% effective on flakes. It works great for about 2 or 3 hours then the flakes return. I feel dry and become flakey after this time. The only way to have a flake free day (to a certain degree) is to use A LOT of it and to moisterise twice in the morning before leaving for work, which is highly inpracticle. It does not do much to reduce redness caused by b.p. This moisteriser does show a lot of promise. A few tweaks here and there and it will work great, maybe adding alpha hyrdroxy into the mix will solve the problems. A good first attempt from Dan on this but there a few teething problems.
