Pros:

matte finish- IF that's what you're looking for

Cons:

-doesnt moisturize well at all
-left a filmy feeling on my face
-takes longer to absorb
-my skin actually felt drier & tight after application
-adding jojoba oil doesnt seem to boost the moisturizing quality at all
-expensive for a product that doesnt do its job

Please bring back the old formula! This was a total waste of money for me. Of all the products i bought in my last recent order, the moisturizer was the one that i desperately needed more of. Just when i thought i had found the best facial moisturizer out there for me, the formulation gets changed and now i am on to another endless search for another brand.

Disappointed! Bad moisturizer!
This thick white formulation is clogging on my pores, it is causing breakouts, pimples on my skin until I switch to a new moisturizer. My skin does not break out anymore with the new moisturizer. Very disappointed with Acne.org, why did you change the formulation for acne.org's moisturizer? I have been a loyal user for years but will not be repurchasing Acne.org's moisturiser anymore!

It's obvious you're toxic, the majority are complaining how bad the new moisturizer has been. You must really have some mental issues.

New formula is absolutely horrible

I have reliably been using this product for 4-5 years, and it was the only moisturizer that didn’t irritate my skin or interact with any of my other products in a negative way. To the founder, you keep telling people that have used this product for years that the change in the formula is too small to cause all these new negative effect; maybe you should just accept that this was an unnecessary change to an other wise perfect formula. I have no skin allergies, and haven’t reacted to poorly to your moisturizer for years. With this new formula, my skin is half as moisturized, and I broke out in small whiteheads bumps all over my face, which has NEVER happened with another moisturizer or your old formula. Would not recommend this. And for someone who understand how sensitive acne prone skin can be, it’s quite ridiculous for the founder to tell people that changing the extract and adding 2.5 times the amount won’t affect how the lotion acts on skin. And I actually observed these horrible effects before reading that the formula had change, so it’s far from a placebo effect.

Old moisturizer- awesome! No issues. New ingredient moisturizer=terrible dermatitis (chemical burn like effects)

Using this product for maybe 10 years, all good, no issues. This newly updated moisturizer causes terrible face burns and swelling. /profile/1-dan/?do=hovercard" data-mentionid="1" href="<___base_url___>/profile/1-dan/" rel="">@Dan, please change the ingredients back. Seeing all the other reviews helped me narrow down what was causing my issues recently.

Hi. I'm sorry to hear this. I assume you're talking about the moisturizer now that it has a slightly different form of licorice root in it. People can have an allergy to any ingredient, but an allergy to the new type of licorice root I put in there is exceedingly rare. It's one of the reasons I am excited to be using it. However, nothing else about the product has changed, so perhaps you are allergic to this particular type of licorice root. Stop using it right away of course and proceed with a different non-comedogenic facial moisturizer. 

Also, think about if you possibly used any other product recently. Since allergy to the new licorice root I put in the moisturizer is so rare, you want to make sure you're not reacting to something else in another product you're using.

I commend Dan for addressing so many of these bad ratings and concerns for so long before they just became rampant. Everything he said is true and only makes sense. Not literally everyone is having this experience. I was actually not even aware anyone was having an issue until I updated my account password and started looking to review and see reviews of products. I was going to rate this product a 5 star, but I already had done so LOL

New formulation caused horrible dermatitis

I am so heartbroken that the moisturizer in the regimen now is causing a huge case of dermatitis! I have been using it for 8 years, but several months ago a bought some new bottles and this moisturizer has changed. It is causing burning, itching, and seeping blisters on my face. I am so disappointed.

Moisturizer problem complain
First I've use this product for four day and I feel like wow my skin got better but somehow it constantly feel itchy and a bit allergic. I think I have to stop using this moisturizer and try another product instead. I have read so many review about this product and found that it's great quality in the past. But now seem everyone have the same problem as mine.

WARNING
Just a quick warning for anyone that is thinking about purchasing this product....it contains oil. Jojoba oil that is. IN MY EXPERIENCE.. this oil clogged the hell out of my pores (although it claims not to....) I was getting small bumps and white heads on areas I have NOT gotten acne in years! Also, I had one huge cystic pimple on my cheek which is very ODD because I have taken Accutane and haven't gotten one cystic pimple in the past 3 years..... I was SO afraid that this product was going to give me cystic acne again but thankfully I stopped using it. My skin is slowly going back to normal (because I now use Clean & Clear) although I still have some scars. This lotion is horrible for my skin I will never use it again. Also, a lot of people said that this product dried out on their skin very quick but I experienced the opposite. This lotion was so oily on me (very moisturized) to the point where my foundation would move around and not set on my face. Nothing happened in coincidence...this lotion does clog and caused a nightmare on my face. If anyone DOES plan on trying it out...buy yourself the travel size before wasting your money and test the product for a good two weeks. Sometimes I feel like they purposely do this so it counteracts with the Benzoyl Peroxide which makes us keep using both and relying on both...just my thoughts.

Pros:

none

Cons:

skin reaction, color, scent, texture

I was an ardent user and fan of the old moisturizer. I can't even use the new one. It leaves my skin flaky and I seem to have an allergic reaction of some sort, as it irritates my skin and turns it all red. It also doesn't go on as easily as the old formula (requires more finger pressure). The lighter pressure of the old formula meant less irritation. I'm left searching for a new product unless they bring back the old formula. :(

Pros:

- Does not leave skin as shiny as the old formula
- Feels less greasy when used with Dan's BP than the old formula
- Doesn't have the weird cinnamon smell the old formula had

Cons:

- Not moisturizing enough. My skin has been basically perfect for four years, and making the switch to this from the old formula has ended that. The skin around my mouth is dry to the point where when I smile, it almost cracks.
- Burns on application and causes redness
- Need to use a lot for it to do anything. I could use two pumps of the old formula and be good all day; with this I use three pumps in the morning, plus jojoba oil, and still need to use more throughout the day.

Huge disappointment. It may be fine if you are in a humid climate; I'm not, so I don't know. I am in air-conditioned rooms all day, so the air is cool and dry, and this moisturizer just isn't up to the task. It leaves my skin cracked, flaking, red, and burning. From a veteran Regimen follower and guy who truly respects Dan for the work he has done for us: avoid this product.
