My favorite moisturizer
This is the best facial moisturizer I've ever used. I have very dry skin, so the formula actually works perfectly for me rather than being too greasy. I don't find the smell to be a problem and I love that the base is jojoba oil.

Pros:

completely non comedogenic, helped restore my skin's lipid barrier and the lichochalcone (?) calms my skin when it is irritated

i like it so much with the jojoba oil...i gave a bottle to my friend and she keeps thanking me. She and i had both stopped moisturizing because a lot of moisturizers clog pores...but not moisturizing really weakens skin and it becomes a downward spiral. i am so very happy to be moisturizing again.

Pros:

- Skin glows in a natural way;
- Skin doesn't feel oily throughout the day;
- yellowish color makes the skin look more uniform;
- Doesn't ball up and is easily spread with BP beneath;
- Skin feels soft and not greasy or pasty;
- Skin doesn't break out even if I apply too much of it.

Cons:

- I can't find any cons!

I have used moisturizers to soften skin from BP treatment for years. I have tried a lot of really expensive brands, and most of them left my skin really oily (i had to pat my skin with a tisse after applying so my face didn't look shiny throughout the day) and this is the first moisturizer EVER that doesn't leave my skin oily, doesn't ball up and doesn't make me break out even if I apply a lot. I found that the yellowish tone of the moisturizer helps in making my skin more even, like it's a very, very light foundation. It helps with the texture of the skin and leaves it incredibly smooth. It's more difficult to apply without the BP underneath (I don't know why, though) but it's a great complement to the regimen and works perfectly well with the treatment and the cleanser.

Pros:

High Quality Skincare Product
No offensive odor
Plumps Skin
Reduces Fine Lines
No Acne Irritation..so far

Cons:

Pump could let out a little less at a time for spot moisturizing

This product is AS good or BETTER than any High-end product I have ever used. Better than Proactiv, Clinique, Murad, Estee Lauder, DDF, Dermalogica, Dr Brandt, Glytone, Phytomer. Basically all the moisturizers that cost up to 10x more than the Acne.org product. Dan should be praised for his commitment to extraordinary product formulation, at a fair price most all of us can afford. Thank you.

Pros:

Not oily
moisturizes
smooth skin

Cons:

stings a bit at the beginning

I have very dry skin, but despite what other reviewers experience, this helps get rid of flakiness. I had some stinging when I first started to use this product, but it subsided. I loved the old formula, but it always left my skin shiny and this doesn't. One recommendation I have for other users is if your skin is really flaky apply some jojoba oil at night. This definitely helped me!

Pros:

Super cooling
Doesn't smell
very lightweight
invisible after it dries

Cons:

none

The old formula felt watery compared to the new formula, and wasn't as cooling as the new stuff. I even use it for sunburns, its better that aloe vera! This stuff helps for any kind of skin irritation, (itch, burns, redness, etc.) it's amazing. I've never used a more cooling moisturizer in my life. The yellow tint is not noticeable to me on my face either. After it dries, no one can tell i have anything on my face. By far the most important step in the treatment in my opinion.

Pros:

Moisturised my skin effectively

Cons:

Admittedly takes a while to absorb, but i've found that's the case with all half gentle moisturisers

moisturised my skin effectively after flakiness caused by treatment, can't fault it **One thing i will say to anyone buying from the UK as well as a fairly high shipping fee i had to the pay an extra £18 import tax + handling fees before i could get my product, leaving me short of around £70 for the mens kit.. it's lasted long and would definitely reccomend the regimen but it may be just as effective and a lot cheaper if alternative products available here are used**

Pros:

light, nongreasy, doesn't add shine, absorbs well, doesn't make me break out.

Cons:

None

This moisturizer is comfortable on my skin and doesn't have a greasy feel or shiny look. I use it under make up and it looks fine. I like how moisturized my skin is without looking greasy.
February 14, 2011

Pros:

Invisible after application
Doesn't cause acne medication to rub off
Doesn't seem to encourage acne growth or make existing acne worse

Cons:

Need to use a ton of the stuff to keep your face hydrated

Works great, and unlike most of the other moisturizers I've tried, applying it doesn't cause acne medications already on your face to come off, provided that you don't rub very hard. The recommended dose, 2 pumps, takes a fairly long time to rub into the skin, though I've found that I can get away with 1 - 1.5 pumps, depending on how dry my skin feels. Best of all, using it doesn't seem to make my acne worse, so I can use the amount I want instead of being forced to guess how much I can get away with using. This moisturizer seems to be more acnegenic for some reviewers than for others, so it might be best to apply it with caution to start.

Pros:

Extremely fast absorption
Very light
Very easy to apply
Moisturizes well

Cons:

None in terms of the product itself...but the price is kind of steep due to shipping costs.

I don't know why so many people are bashing this product and asking for a new one. I held off on writing a review before I actually USED the product for a couple of weeks in order to actually provide a good review. This works flawlessly and as stated on the product. For those of you who are crying about how bad this product is - just switch. There's no need for Dan to bring back the old one.
