Pros:

No smell

Cons:

Takes ages to dry
Does not work unless heaps is applied

I had high hopes for this product. However, I am very dissapointed with it and will not be buying it again. First off, it takes at least 4 pumps on the face for me to control all the flaking caused by the Cleanser and BP and this is just not economically viable for me, using 8 pumps each day.

Too gloppy. Where's the old formula
I'm bummed about this new formula. It's extremely gloppy, takes forever to rub in, and if I have any sort of stubble it just doesn't rub in. I'm constantly flakey and really dislike the experience of the new formula. Agree with so many others, why is it so hard to rub in? And so gloppy it's unpleasant.

I dont understand why they cant just keep the old formula(yellow one) in stock, so we can choose to buy instead of switch to a NEW one without noticing everybody, cant they just keep both options? Pls bring back the yellow one pls, people might like the new formula, thats fine, just produce both, so we could choose! Dan pls listen to our voice, or you will lose $ since people will stop buying the moisturiser! Im a 15 years user of your product, this moisturiser is too thick to absorb, takes 1/2 hour for 2 pumps to sink in, but end up not moisturised enough, then another 1/2 hour for another 2 pumps, I end up spending 1 hours for this new moisturiser! And it is GHOSTING! Making my face look WHITE!OMG!

Well because it's probably extremely expensive to try to maintain two products that are very similar......I find the new formula to be much better than the old yellow one.......I have not had ANY issues like so many on here.......I can see how a moisturizer may cause some irritation initially as the skin gets used to it.....or if there is a specific allergy.....But it's unlikely a moisturizer would cause true acne from deep within the skin.

You are the only person not having issues we have a bunch of complaints here so don't be the silly person on here. Let us voice our bad experiences as the old moisturizer works better and gave me a glow. Take your lies somewhere else.

Poor Cherry.......Start your own cosmetic line if you don't like it whiner.

Kenneth I see you have been paid to come here and lie. We still stand with our reviews. The new moisturizer is very bad and not for acne prone skin. Dan bring back the old moisturizer

Please bring back the old formula
The new moisturizer isn't working and it didn't moisturize my skin. My sister and I have used your products for 8yrs and it cleared our acne. But Dan this is a very bad formulation. This new one feels kinda thick, milky in a way, just like everyone is saying. Unfortunately it doesn't fully absorb into my skin after using the Benzoyl treatment, and once again skin is very flaky and drying. Can you please bring back the old moisturizer as you have a lot of complaints on the new one.

ITCHY, RASHY, BREAKING OUT - FAIL
I was really looking forward to using Dan's products but unfortunately my skin hasn't taken very well to the moisturiser. Immediately after putting it on i felt a tingle and slight itchiness but didn't want to think much of it to give up on it straight away. So i decided to try it again the next morning and again the same reaction, but worse. It got to the point where i just decided to wash it completely off my face because it was so itchy. I also noticed the morning after using this moisturiser i broke out for the first time in a while with little whiteheads. NO GOOD, i will not be using this again and sadly it will be going straight into the rubbish. Prior to using this moisturiser i was using Cetaphil moisturising cream with no problems and i have gone back to that immediately in hopes of soothing some of the irritation Dan's moisturiser seems to have caused. ARGH!

Moisturizer should Replenish the moisture and nutrients of the skin...not to make it dry, red, flaky, and itchy :(
I've been using the regimen for 4 weeks now. For 2 weeks my face is at worst. Red, flaky, and itchy. On the 3rd week i expected that the peeling, redness will be gone but nope...didn't happen :( my acne cleared up a bit though so i know that the regimen is working. I went back to the website to read reviews and see if there is something wrong about the regimen or good advices to do to improve my skin condition. I read reviews about how bad the moisturizer is so for 3 days, I decided not to use the moisturizer and find an alternative moisturizer. My red flaky, itchy skin got better and my acne is getting better. No more new breakouts. My advice... Use the cleanser and the BP and ditch the moisturizer. It's just bad :(

Which moisturizer are you using?
September 13, 2014
Oily but not moisturizing! Takes too long to absorb! Yellow!
As many are reporting, this moisturizer is really oily (because of the great amount of jojoba oil in it) and it leaves the skin all day long shining and feeling so greasy. Moreover, like many others, I felt it not moisturizing enough! The yellow color gave such a funny tan on my face that everybody asked me if I had been on a holiday! After seeing the contrast with my neck, they believed I weren't and thought maybe something else had happened to me. Unlike the description, I guess too much jojoba oil breaks me out, that is however individual since everyone's skin is different. So, I switched to another moisturizer by Eucerin and things are getting better now!

I will not buy this again
The first problem when i started using this moisturizer was the matte color that it leaves on my skin (i have a very light skin), it wasn't really a problem until the week 4 when my skin started to become more dry and the flakiness out of control, 2 full pumps with 6 drops of jojoba oil wasn't enough for me anymore, i started to use it more than 4 times in the day (and my skin was still dry) it takes A LOT to absorb and i dont have so much time in the morning because of the school, my skin color was like i put mustard on my face, everyone asking me what happened with my skin or if i were on a holiday... I started to search for a new moisturizer and i found the Avène - Clean-AC Hydrating Cream for people who are on an acne treatment and the reviews that i found were good so i bough it, the first day was OK but in the second day it burned my skin, if it wasn't for the burn i will 100% recommend the avene moisturizer because it worked perfect in the hydration and the flakiness and it doesn't leaves the skin shiny but you guys can try it and see if it works on you. Now im searching again a new moisturizer, please recommend me one if you are on the regimen and you arent using dan ´s moisturizer.

Pros:

None, really. Seems to work for others.

Cons:

-Stained my pillowcases permanently- and yes, I gave it plenty of time to dry/soak in (30 minutes).
-Broke me out again, after my skin was looking so much better on the regimen.

I'd been using the Olay with sunscreen for sensitive skin that is recommended, which worked great but wasn't quite moisturizing enough with the regimen. Switched to this even though there were some negative reviews...which I am adding to. Waste of money and a couple of pillowcases, although I've wasted plenty in my search for stuff to clear my skin- so I was prepared for the fact that this might not work.

Pros:

- Doesn't make me break out

Cons:

- Liquid-like consistency
- Takes forever to dry
- Still have flakes
- Makes skin look greasy
- Burns/stings and causes redness

I really want to like this moisturizer, but I just can't. I've been using this moisturizer, along with the cleanser and BP for about 3 weeks now and I just don't feel like it's that great. I have oily, acne prone skin and while this doesn't seem to make me break out... it's not doing anything else. Once applied it sits on my skin forever. When it finally absorbs it looks really greasy. Throughout the day my skin will noticeably flake. I don't feel like it moisturizes as well as it should. Maybe I'd prefer a thicker cream, but I'll take a thicker cream making me look oily if it acutally works. Also, the lotion causes me more irritation than the BP! Once the BP dries, my skin feels fine (if anything it's tight), but once I apply the lotion... red/burning/stinging sensation. Has to be the moisturizer. I know I should probably give it a little more time, but the tomato redness and burning it causes around my mouth isn't worth it. I'll take the flakes. On a mission to find someting more agreeable for me.
