| Cons | none! |
| Bottom line | I used it in accordance with the regimen. It was very moisturizing and good. Also it lasted for few months. However, I don't use this anymore because i am not using BP and am trying other stuff. |

| Pros | -Will hydrate your skin for the whole day. Absolutely NO dryness. -Has a mild AHA (5% lactic acid) that will help control flakes and even contribute to the prevention and fight with acne. (Not enough to depend on by itself though) -No smell -A lot in one bottle |
|---|---|
| Cons | -Pretttttttty thick. You're gonna get pretty fustrated trying to spread this stuff around. -WILL. STING. SO. MUCH. But this subsides in about 30 minutes afterwards, and gets better the more you use it and the more your skin gets used to it. -The bottle is squeeze :/. I'd rather pumps. -Requires a SPF. Don't go out in the sun for long periods of times without protection. |
| Bottom line | This is a quality moisturizer. It will hydrate your skin, control flakes, and even help a bit with your acne. While it is thick, its still thinner than things such as Cetaphil. If you have tolerance for the stinging and can be smart with it, I recommend this 100%. |

| Pros | - Moisturizes - Heals skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | - A little sticky after applying |
| Bottom line | This is the first moisturizer I have used in the past 4 or 5 acne-ridden years of my life that I felt was actually making a noticeable difference. I have tried CeraVe, Complex 15, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, olive oil, petroleum jelly, hyaluronic acid, etc. NOTHING has worked as well as Lac-Hydrin Five. Which is not to say that it's a miracle worker. It does moisturize and heal skin, but the results are less than amazing. Nevertheless, it's still leagues ahead of CeraVe, my previous moisturizer of choice. And it doesn't seem to clog pores or cause breakouts (I think this is because the lactic acid has a light exfoliating effect). As a side note, I also applied this to a patch of dried, cracked skin on the heel of my foot that had been causing pain for weeks. The pain went away after 2 days of use. Now THAT was amazing. |

| Pros | Incredibly moisturizing! (even in the harsh midwestern winters) Helps to fight off all acne past, present, and future! Perfect compliment to Dan's Regimen |
|---|---|
| Cons | A bit pricy and hard to find. I had to get mine off of Amazon. But this should in no way turn you off of this product. |
| Bottom line | If you are like I was and couldn't find that perfect moisturizer, look no further!!!! I like to think of myself as the "universal acne sufferer". In other words, I have a textbook case of acne. I'm a teenager who has mild-moderate hormone-related acne and whose skin is moderately sensitive to acne fighters. I've gone through it all: BP, salicylic acid, Dan's AHA+, etc. All of it tore up my skin something fierce!!! However, I stumbled across this little miracle and needless to say, it's fantastic! As other reviews have noted, though, it can sting a little bit for a short time after the first handful of applications. To avoid this, I mixed a dime sized amount in with an equal amount of some leftover acne.org moisturizer (the last bottle of that crap I ever bought by the way) and it REALLY helped to ween my skin onto it. It was a little bit nostalgic of the first few weeks of being on the Regimen, lol. Anyway, after about a couple days of that, I upgraded to about a quarter sized amount and applied it the same way any acne sufferer should with anything (slowly and gently). It dries in about 10-15 min. About half the time it takes for the acne.org moisturizer. This is perfect because that is about how long it takes me to get to work/school. All in all, good choice on my part. I highly recommend this product with every fiber in my being. You should not pass this up!!!! Those negative reviews are from people who give up too quickly and are mad at themselves for not being disciplined enough to take care of their acne. |

| Pros | *Reduces the appearance of Acne Scars. * Moisturizes Skin *Reduces Breakouts |
|---|---|
| Cons | *Apparently makes you more sensitive to the sun! |
| Bottom line | I had a particularly bad breakout in December after visiting Paris and having to weather the horrible climate. On my flight from NYC to LA they took away my Olay lotion due to the 3 ounces rule, so I was left with no lotion and horrible skin. I proceded to buy LacHydrin 5, and WOW! Although the BP and LacHydrin produce a significant amount of flaking (due to the AHA acting as an exfoliant?), I can say I have cleared up faster than ever before. My complexion looks much more even, my breakouts have been minimized, and my skin just looks healthier overall. I will definitely continue to use this product and can't wait to see how my skin will look when it's fully healed. |

| Pros | Fixes dry skin Mini facial peel Eliminates flakes |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stings but no pain no gain in this case! |
| Bottom line | The brand I used is AmLactin which you can get at Walgreens. I have severe dry skin with some eczema but AmLactin cured it well! Expect your skin to sting and peel in the beginning. After a bit, your new skin will merge without the dryness and flakes! |

| Pros | lightweight, clears up eczema, can be used on face, body and even dry heels. Great for sensitive skin |
|---|---|
| Cons | none |
| Bottom line | I had severe eczema on my chin about 15 years ago. The first time I used it, I could feel some tingling. It cleared up my eczema in two hours. I have sensitive skin and it has improved the sensitivity. I am 51 years old and look 15 years younger. I constantly get compliments on my skin. I've had acne problems before I used this problem and have had very little acne since. I use it twice day and use an apricot facial scrub before I apply it in the morning. I like that it is lightweight and absorbs easily. It can be found at any Walgreens. A bottle which costs about $12.00 lasts over 6 months. My male store manager at work used it on his severely dry feet and it cleared up the dryness in 2 weeks with regular use. It is safe for your face and your whole body. |

| Pros | Lightweight, non-sticky, odorless, very moisturizing without causing breakouts. |
|---|---|
| Cons | Stings the first few times you use it (but this does go away fairly quickly with repeated use). Also stings if you have any cuts on your face (also goes away after a moment or two). Somewhat hard to find. |
| Bottom line | I have tried several different moisturizers trying to find a brand that doesn't cause me to break out. This is the ONLY moisturizer that I have used that not only doesn't cause new breakouts, but actually contributes to the acne-fighting process. The lactic acid in this lotion not only keeps my face from flaking when I use benzoyl peroxide, but also seems to help keep my pores clear even when I run out of BP. My face is also smoother--I like how less "bumpy" my face feels! Here's my regimen: I apply a thin layer of AHA lotion to my face, then mix a dime-size amount of Lac-hydrin Five with an equal amount of 2.5% BP in my hands, and spread it all over my face. Then, to keep it from drying in streaks, I pat my face lightly with my palms. I've been using this lotion for 7 months now and you wouldn't believe how this routine has helped clear my skin. I don't even need foundation anymore, and my face isn't as oily as it used to be either. I would recommend it to any acne-sufferer. |
