If you're on the Acne.org regime, which you probably are if you have this moisturizer, then you will need the moisture. This product is really this to some heavy creams for dry skin, which we should have with this routine. I was on the routine for about a year and just discontinued to start Retin-A. I started to get painfully dry and itchy around mouth area with RED tinted skin. I removed BP for about a week with no prevail; I was still as unusually dry. I can't believe I thought that the BP was making me worse, but actually it was the MOISTURIZER. Unbelievable that after a year I would get this reaction from the moisturizer. However, I have never broken out from this moisturizer, so that is a major plus. When I was really, really dry and chapped I used DML Fórte Cream. It is delightful! You can try getting it online or though a dermatologist -- it is doctor grade (good stuff). It will NOT break you out. It is worth a try because you may need extra hydration once in a while. DML makes extremely gentle products, you can even use them on baby skin. I have dry, sensitive skin if anyone is wondering. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

I had a similar problem recently. I had been using the routine with the BP for about a year and loved it. My skin was calm, even toned and nearly pimple free. All of a sudden last month I started to get really, really dry. Especially around my mouth. This wasn't unusual because this routine had always made me dry -- but not this dry. This really hurt by mouth and it was red and it ITCHED. I was so confused. I had nothing new to my face routine or diet. I took out BP for about a week. I had no new breakouts, but the dryness didn't dissipate. I was still using the moisturizer. Since two week ago, I ditched [link removed]'s products and started on Retin-A. Retin-A has worked well so far. I am not dry at all. I can even pass with a light layer of moisturizer -- and I have dry skin.

Hi, you should be careful using the Glycolic moisturizer in the daytime. It attracts the UV rays to your face, and then deactivates in the sunlight. It will only make your face get hyper-burned. I only used it at night three nights a week. Although, had to stop the whole regime lately...
