Kari from Minnesota

Pros Skin feels moisturized all day
Very lightweight on the skin
Pleasant scent
Cons Stings when initially applied
Bottom line Takes a little getting used to! The first time I used it, my face stung for over an hour. The only reason I even tried it again was because I'd spent 10 bucks on it. I am glad I gave it another chance!

Now when I use it, my face stings for a minute or so, but I barely notice it. The fact is, this stuff makes my skin feel moisturized and it lasts all day. It is not greasy and does not make my skin look shiny once it's dry. It absorbs into the skin and does not "sit" on top of the skin like some moisturizers tend to do.

This moisturizer works very well with the BP. I usually mix it with a few drops of jojoba too for extra moisture. I don't know why it stings when it goes on, but it's a small price to pay for a good quality moisturizer.
Price paid $10.50

Pros Moisturizes very well with jojoba oil added
Easy to apply
Large amount
Feels good
Cons Definitely, it's the shiny part that bugs me the most. I can't really use it in the daytime because it makes me look all sweaty and oily, but it doesn't feel like it, just that it looks like it.
Bottom line The moisturizer (w/ jojoba oil added) is my guilty pleasure of a moisturizer. It works and feels amazing. But the fact that it makes my face look shiny forces me to use it only at night. I use clean and clears dual action moisturizer during the daytime.
Price paid $16.00

Pros Moisturizes skin well and prevented flakiness for me when I was using the acne.org regimen.
Cons Made my face very oily, shiny, and red. Could only use a small amount during the day time because of this which made my skin feel dry and tight.
Bottom line Works well as a night-time moisturizer and is easy to apply. Also inexpensive and the bottle will last you a while. It was really the only moisturizer that worked for me while on the regimen (also tried cetaphil and cerave but they both caused flaking). You need to find a different day time moisturizer during the summer months that has SPF.
Price paid $20.00

Pros eliminates flakes
keeps my skin from feeling to dry
Cons liquidy
can make skin look oily
you can feel the layers of gel on your face when you go to wash it off
no SPF
Bottom line This is the only moisturizing I found to to be compatible with acne.org regimen products. Any other moisturizer pills or leaves residue.

However, it sometimes leaves my skin overly shiny as opposed to glowy. But I found this to be resolved by blotting with a napkin. However, it's not long before I have to blot again.

Pros Big Bottle
Lightweight
Moisturizes without clogging pores :)
Cons None
Bottom line LOVE this moisturizer! I was a little skeptical the first week I used it. As my skin was adjusting to the new product line and treatments (benzoyl peroxide, cleanser, AHA and moisturizer) this burned a little bit when first applied. I stuck with it though and after a couple weeks that is all gone and my skin is clear, glowing and wonderfully moisturized! :) I couldn't be more pleased...

Pros nice consistency, great ingredients
Cons none
Bottom line This is a great moisturizer. After using this for over 2 weeks, my face is less red, more like the color of the rest of my skin. My skin has a more even toned appearance. My pores appear smaller. My face feels slightly sticky due to the humidity in the air, but I use blotting papers to absorb the oil. I am not using the Benzoyl Peroxide, so my face isn't as dry as some people's with acne.org. I bet this would be an ideal moisturizer if you are using the BP or have a problem with dryness. My skin is super oily, but I still love this moisturizer. I use it at night after washing my face with Acne.org cleanser.

Pros Good price.
Unscented.
Light feeling.
Cons It's okay when used overnight but it leaves my skin way too oily during the day.
My face burns for a while after I apply it, especially in my driest areas.
As greasy as it becomes, it still doesn't help my driest areas.
Bottom line It leaves my skin too oily, which causes me to break out.

Pros big bottle
price is fair
basic and simple
Cons watery
inconsistent texture
makes face oily
Bottom line i love the cleanser and bp from Dan, but I do not like this moisturizer. it's really watery and inconsistent. i feel like i'm washing my fash again when i put it on. it also makes me oily, as i am already oily. either that or it doesn't help oily skin. not the most moisturizing.
