Is the moisturizer supposed to look oily?

Hi everyone, 
Today is day 6 of using the acne.org products.  I'm not sure if I'm applying the moisturizer the correct way. I have normal skin but do tend to fall on the oily side of the spectrum. I apply two pumps of the moisturizer and I'm going on 6 hours right now with my face still looking oily and shiny, as if it hasn't absorbed properly. Would I be compromising the effectiveness of the products if I apply only one pump?  Has anyone been in a similar situation?  

Thank you in advance :)

I've definitely been in your situation!

I go between 1 and 2 pumps of moisturizer, depending on the amount of BP I am using. I personally have oily and shiny skin as well, and the moisturizer seems to make it more shiny than usual. Typically, 1 pump is not enough for me if I am using any more than a finger-tip sized dab of BP.

I don't think you will compromise the effectiveness of the BP, but you want to keep your skin as happy and balanced as possible, so pay close attention to how your skin feels and adjust accordingly. Good luck!
