Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

I feel so terrible for the people who had a bad experience with this moisturizer, and I was so worried I almost didn't buy it. But, I did and I love it! This works awesome on my skin- absorbs totally. It goes on great under makeup and I think it even helps keep my oils at bay. I've been using it for about a month and I couldn't be happier. Try it first, because it just might work for you. I'm 43, have rosacea and used to get 5-10 massive white heads every day. Not anymore!

Let me first start by saying that I've been using the Acne.org regimen (Cleanser, Treatment, Moisturizer, and AHA) for about 7 and a half months now, so I've experienced this moisturizer both during the CRAZY HUMID north-east summers, and the cold, frigid north-east winters. I HAD moderate cystic acne, particularly around my forehead, nose and cheeks, but thankfully, that's all gone now. Now, this moisturizer is good. Like very good. However, depending upon WHERE you are in the treatment process, the amount of moisturizer you'll need to use will vary. Personally, two pumps is WAAAAY too much moisturizer for someone with oily/normal skin (even if said person is using 2 pumps of BP); the only time I really had to use two pumps was when I was using 2 pumps of treatment and NO AHA, as during the first month of the regimen, I followed the steps and did not use the AHA bottle to help get my skin accustomed to the amount of treatment and product it was getting. Now, after that 1st month, if you decide to use the AHA everyday, you need to HALVE the amount of moisturizer you use, regardless of season. Now, my personal recommendation is 3/4th to 1 pump morning and evening (if you're not mixing the AHA), and about 1/2 pump moisturizer + 1/2 pump AHA every night, if you are. This is quite a rich moisturizer, and I recommend really dabbing it over your cheeks and neck, while spreading it around your forehead when you're massaging it into the skin. Initially, the efficacy of the moisturizer hits, as it'll feel kinda warm and heavy (perfect for the winter). However, after a while, it'll start to feel cool, as the product gets absorbed (and it gets absorbed rather quickly if you apply it in 3/4ths - 1 pump a turn). If you feel you need to apply more after this much moisturizer, feel free to, but my guess is that if you have particularly oily skin (like me), you won't need to. All in all, a great product that has not broken me out (although, I still follow the regimen everyday, so it may be that the benzoyl peroxide as well as the AHA are preventing any future breakouts).

I'm surprised by the high number of negative reviews that this product has received, for me it is absolutely perfect. i combine it with Aha+ 3 times a week and the rest of the time i use it alone and my skin looks radiant. The adult acne bout is now under control and just the other day my husband asked my what I was using on my face because he said i looked really good.

This product works great after applying the peroxide treatment. My skin feels itchy before I put it on, and immediately after it calms my skin but dissolves fully. I love it!

The only thing this moisturizer lacks is spf protection besides that it is perfect. My skin type is asian and I live in japan so the weather is very dry in the winter , using this protect does wonders to my dry flaky skin. I use to get white patches around my mouth whenever I eat my lunch and it was so embarrassing , now I don't have to deal with that.

I really enjoy this moisturizer. Every time I use this my skin looks naturally luminous and not oily. I like to layer this as an emulsion step prior to using a more moisturizing moisturizer when my skin is dry. On oily skin days I just apply two layers of this and proceed with my makeup. I have noticed that people are feeling that this stings and I have only experienced this when I have used to much of the benzoyl peroxide. When my skin gets dry and irritated from the treatment I take a break from it and moisturize with this + jojoba or this lotion + a more moisturizing cream and the irritation subsides. ** I can layer this with other moisturizers because my acne is under control , but I just wanted to say that any irritation was due to excessive drying from the acne treatment and all water based products sting when this happens. Versitile moisturizing lotion! I love it!

Honestly I didn't think anything could keep my face moisturized and not be oily!!! This is THE BEST moisturizer I've ever used and trust me I've spent ALOT of cash on some really expensive moisturizers that I had to throw out. It's definitely worth it. I have the cleanser as well which I absolutely loooove <3.

I've dealt with acne my entire life. There are times when I have it under control and there are times when it flares ups for no apparent reason. I've used the Regimen on and off for years, and I've come to the realize that it's the only way to keep my acne under control. However let me tell you , buy the Cetaphil Soap Bar or the Store brand one from Walgreens or Cvs, it's a much cheaper option for "gentle cleanser" ( 3 bars for $8-$9 bucks and they last a while). For the Benzoyl Peroxide and Moisturizer YOU MUST but it from Acne.org, the 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide is great and the Moisturizer is awesome. If you get Cystic acne, just go to the dermatologist and get some Cortisone shots, I've gotten them and they work great. Unfortunately it seems like I, like many other people on this site, will have to do this Regimen till who knows when in our lives. As far as my diet, I've tried all possible diets and i'd still get acne, I tried Zarzaparilla for 3 months ( I was making the tea myself with the actual herb), I tried the caveman regimen for 3 months and more stuff, the only thing that works is ocassional use of antibiotics and cortisone shots if Cystic acne flares up and the Regimen. By the way , I only use BP at night , in the morning I still wash my face but instead of BP i use some topical antibiotic that my derm gave me Clyndamacin if I'm not mistaken, but I don't use it all over , i apply to spots where i might something semi active, and once it dries I apply moisturizer. ALWAYS APPLY MOISTURIZER!!!BP will irritate your skin so much and even cause more acne. But i'm telling you , you won't find another MOISTURIZER like this one out there, the closest thing is Neutrogena - Combinatino Skin, but it's too expensive and it doesn't dry as well as the Acne.org Moisturizer.

This moisturizer is great. You will not find this quality moisturizer anywhere else on the market. This moisturizer along with Dan ´s other products is a testimony to why he gets up in the morning and does what he does; help people, make quality products and improve people's lives.

This is really the best moisturizer I have ever used. My face gets quite dry using BP, but this moisturizer fixes that! Most moisturizers do not help enough, and they can feel heavy and thick or too thin and irritating. With this moisturizer, I feel like my skin is hydrated and protected and it can still breathe! I don't use as much as Dan recommends, because I use less BP. The anti-inflammatory ingredient is perfect for my sensitive skin. I don't mind the smell, because it works so well for me!
