Pros:a LOT of moisterizer for the price! Moisterizes well. I like the smell!
Cons:Eh too liquidy. Doesn't absorb quickly.
Bottom Line:I like it. I had before spent over 30 bucks on 1.5 oz of Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion and now I have 8 oz of this stuff for less than half the price! And it moisterizes BETTER. Go figure!

I did notice a stinging sensation when I put it on but I notice that with all moisterizers if I put it on before the benzoyl peroxide fully dries. so to anyone experiencing this wait a bit longer after putting on your BP before moizerizing...you'll notice a huge difference.

The smell is yummy<3 It reminds me of peppermint/cinnamon. Anyways for the price and amount you get you cant really go wrong. I recommend using less than a full pump I tested it with a full pump and was running out of face to put moisterizer on. (= and I GLOB it on cause my skin gets very flakey after BP.


I got it with the kit since I didn't want to buy the full size of each product yet I recommend the same (:

Pros:Light weight, moisturizes okay
Cons:irritates skin, redness, burning
Bottom Line:When I first put it on, it was 5 minutes after I put on BP. Burned so much and irritated my skin. My redness came back and pores looked huge again. The next time I waited 15 minutes and there is less of a burning sensation. My skin still gets a bit of red blotches though...

I would advise another moisturizer. I will probably use up the 99% left over on my body.

Pros:Doesn't make your skin feel greasy, spreads easily, nice "natural' smell which you'll get used to, moisturizes well
Cons:Can make your skin bright
Bottom Line:This is a very good facial moisturizer. I guess it will only burn if your skin is ALREADY irritated. In order to avoid that, don't exaggerate on the products until your skin is used to them.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:None
Cons:burns, comedognic, non moisturizing, etc.
Bottom Line:If you have sensitive skin and break out easily, I would not recommend this product. Everytime, I used this product, my face turned bright red and it burned my skin. Moisturizers in general dont seem to agree with my skin.

Pros:doesn't make me break out
Cons:doesn't moisturize enough, makes my face incredibly greasy looking, and feeling. can't wear this stuff out in public. slight burning sensation first couple times i used it.
Bottom Line:it just doesn't moisturize enough to counteract dan's benzoyl peroxide. i've switched to using regular lotion (vaseline total moisture) on my face after washing, then adding dan's benzoyl peroxide gel once it dries. this seems to be doing the trick. i can actually smile without my face cracking.

it also has a mild cinnamon scent, which people seem to be worked up about

Pros:-Usually takes care of flakes.
Cons:-turns skin red

Bottom Line:Makes my face red!! It doesn't burn but it turns my face bright pink. It also caused me to breakout horribly! The best thing I ever did was stop using this moisturizer!

Pros:Applies well, smells decent
Cons:I tested this on an area of my face where I am not prone to acne. Unfortunately it clogged my pores very badly after about a week's use. I bought this item out of respect for the site as I love the Dan's BP. I will stick with Complex 15

Pros:light feeling, absorbs quickly
Cons:makes my face shiny, does not moisturize enough, and BURNS horribly when applied on top of the BP.
Bottom Line:By itself, it is not moisiturizing enough for my skin (which is actually quite dry now in the winter) and makes my face look greasy. I am unable to use it in as it it meant to be used in the Regimen, as it burns my face horribly when applied on top of the BP.
Also, although it claims to be unscented, it smells very strongly of cinnamon to me. Overall I would say that this is a very disappointing product.
I will be going back to using the Olay moisturizer for sensitive skin.
Recommended:No

Pros:very light feel
takes care of flakiness
makes my skin feel happy =)
Cons:very runny
leaves my face very greasy looking!
stings after BP
Bottom Line:i really really appreciate the fact that this moisturizer takes care of flakiness for me without having to add extra drops of jojoba oil.
maybe i should try using less of it to avoid looking greasy
an interesting point about the fragrance.. it claims to be unscented, but to me it somehow smells like donuts! don't ask how :p
but you know what all in all, i like it!
