I've been doing the regimen for about 12 days now. In the first few days BP made my skin go horrible dry where I couldn't even open my mouth! And it still does but Simple light hydrating moisturizer and a bit of Jojoba oil really does the trick.. So far so good..

skinner05: Looking forward to hearing about that Natural Thinking moisturizer. Might get some if it's working out well for you as I experience pretty severe dryness still after a long time on the Regimen. Currently using Dan's moisturizer and it's so good but shipping is way expensive (I'm not from the UK but I get my Panoxyl from there).

I'm also thinking about trying that vaseline moisturizer at chemist direct someone recommended in this thread. Looks pretty promising, I've heard some great things about using vaseline for your face.

Been using the moisturiser for 3 days now. Not allergic to it which is a good start.

Seems to calm my naturally red skin down a bit. A little seems to go quite a long way and has completely got rid of any dry skin. If anything it makes me too shiny on my nose and forehead but i can live with that. It is a bit thick so does stick in my stumble a bit so need to be a bit more sparse in said areas

So far, definitely good. Have to wait and see if I break out over the next week

Aqua, olea europeae, glycerin, pentylene glycol, palm glycerides, olus, oleic triglycerides, hydrogenated lecithin, squalane, betaine, palmitamide MEA, acetamide MEA, sarcosine, hydroxyethlcellulose, sodium carbomer, carbomer, xanthan gum

even though it says its for dry sensitive skin i have combo skin and LOVE IT. only con is it's abit greasy/doesn't sink in quickly so I use it for pm no risky ingredients and they're natural! havn't heard of this breaking anyone out


seriously try it it's soooo good! only £8 aswell which I think is pretty good

hope this helps!

sorry haven't got time at the minute to do a complete write-up but I've been using Neutrogena Visibly Clear Oil-Free Moisturiser for the last couple of months and it's doing pretty nicely.

I previously tried the Simple oil-balancing moisturiser with zinc PCA however this blocked my pores and caused me to break out in very small red spots all over. Funnily enough more recently I gave the cleanser from the same range a go and its actually working quite well. Make of that what you will...

Hi guys i'm new here.. I've just gone n bought Simple Spotless Skin Anti-Blemish Moisturiser & I'll be using it for a week or 2 just to see how i get on as i also bough the Panoxyl 2.5% And Clean & Clear Exfoliating Face Wash and i'm going to order Some Jojoba Oil.. Will post bk in a week 2 let u all know how it goes

I swear by Neutrogena Oil-Free Moisturiser. I've tried switching before and everything else I've ever tried over the past 3 years, most recently, Cetaphil and Nivea Oil-Free Day Cream, has always broke me out / not moisturised enough, so I always go back to it and regret ever doubting it.

Neutrogena Stings a bit, and tends to make my face go red for an hour or so after I apply it but without a doubt it's the best, and in my opinion, only moisturiser which both doesn't break me out and moisturises enough.

[I hate redspots]

Oxy anti-spot balm ('engineered for male skin' but i'm sure lasses could use it too)

Ingredients:
Aqua, Cyclomethicone, Zea mays starch, Glycerin, Sodium chloride, Lactic acid, Dimethicone/ Vinyl dimethicone crosspolymer, Dimethicone copolyol, Panthenol, PPG-3 Myristyl ether, Phenoxyethanol, Dimethicone crosspolymer, Cetyl PEG/ PPG-10/ 1 Dimethicone, Isoceteth-10, Parfum, Silica, Zinc PCA, Hydrolised algin, Disodium EDTA, Limonene, Linalool, Butylphenyl methylpropional, Zinc sulphate, Alpha-isomethyl ionone

As you can see, looks pretty good, with just one questionable ingredient (zinc sulphate). I personally have found this less irritating than any other moisturiser I have ever tried.

I think the best moisturiser available has to be jojoba oil.
