Cramsession
October 29, 2007
Pros Goes on light and blends easily. Nice light smell. Good price/large quantity.
Cons Leaves my face shiny, this is the worst thing about this moisturizer. People can tell you have something on your face because it is shiny from the moisturizer. Stings just a little, but I don't have a big problem with that.
Bottom line I have a real hard time with any moisturizer. Most make me break out. This one is near the top of the list of the many I have tried. I like how it is light and goes on almost like water. It moisterizes pretty well. The biggest down side for me is that it leaves my skin shiny. Plus, like most moisturizers for me, it feels oily pretty quickly and I feel like I need to wash my face and get it off. I have to use it very sparingly.

Pros Good amount, nice fragrance, not too expensive.
Cons Causes a slight stinging sensation when applied, cause me to break out.
Bottom line I had only high expectations for this product and wanted to hopefully be able to praise it but unfortunately like others here have said, it caused me to break out! I have since stopped using it and my face has improved but its hard to recommend something that didn't seem to work for me.

I look forward to the next generation of moisturizer that Dan is coming out with, hopefully that one will work well for me.

Pros It moisturizes very well.
Cons Stings a bit. My face turns a bit oily later in the day.
Bottom line I still use this moisturizer even if it stings a bit because it can keep my skin from flaking aside from the very goood moisturizing effects.

Neil from UK

Pros * Applies and absorbs easily
* Good price
Cons * Seems to have stopped moisturising as time has passed
* Stings a bit
Bottom line I have tried many moisturisers since I started Dans regimen about 3 years ago, some useless and some very good (ie Eucerin renewal).

This moisturiser does not make sense as initially it worked a treat and I was chuffed to bits with it. It kept my flakes at bay (I do suffer from dry skin) and absorbed like a dream.
After using if for approximately 6 weeks however my skin has started flaking very badly (I have not altered any other aspect of my regimen/lifestyle as far as I know). It seems now that no matter how much of this moisturiser that I apply on an evening (ie applying it every hour before bed) that come the next morning my face has dried out in places and is flaking.
I am switching back to "Simple replenishing rich moisturiser" which i would recommend to anyone in the UK who seeks a rich moisturiser.

I think Dan is a legend for his work but there is something 'not quite right' with Dans moisturiser which needs looking into.

Fingers crossed!

cool as kim deal from USA

Pros Packs a lot of moisturizing punch for having such a thin consistency, great clove-like scent, even with shipping still a good value for the amount of moisturizer you get (compared with Complex 15 Face Cream), has kept my flakes at bay, not greasy
Cons Might not be moisturizing enough for those with severe flaking problems, no SPF, only available online, pump packaging makes it hard to get every last drop out
Bottom line This is easily my favorite moisturizer of all those that I have tried. It's similar in consistency to Complex 15 Therapeutic Face Cream (my old favorite), but somewhat more moisturizing and definitely a better value. It hasn't made me break out and goes on feeling very nice, only a very faint tingling sensation. The smell is unlike that of any other beauty product I have tried before, and very nice, and it goes away fairly quickly. This moisturizer layers well with sunscreen products and makeup, too. I use it on top of BP and a layer of jojoba oil. I've not yet needed to reapply it during the day, but I could see how someone with very parched skin might need to use a thicker moisturizer to get the flaking initially under control--but then they should definitely switch to this one!

Pros Light, non-greasy, contains excellent ingredients, works well under makeup, moisturizes extremely well, gets rid of flakes, contains jojoba oil, great price for 8oz, comes with a handy pump, makes your skin smooth, doesn't cause breakouts.
Cons Available online only.
Bottom line I've tried all kinds of moisturizers- Paula's Choice, Neutrogena, Clean and Clear, etc.- and this is my favorite so far. The bottle is huge compared to other 2.oz moisturizers, and the price can't be beat.

Pros At first, it seemed to moisturize better than other products that I've tried....but I still had a little flakiness due to the bp
Cons Caused me to BREAK OUT!!!!!
I didnt have break outs in my chin before...but now they're all over it.
Bottom line I didn't think it was worth the money...
the only thing I got was breakouts, but who knows..maybe it's just my skin type....
I wonder if Dan tries his products on many people that have different skin types before making it....
