Pros:

none

the new formula sucks! Originally I was so happy I found this site and thank god I had the old moisturizer before my wedding. I got many compliments about how nice my skin looked and now it is terrible because of the new moisturizer. I gave it an honest try, but using extra jojoba actually DOES clog my pores. Interesting how I can only click on 1.5 for a rating instead of 1. I would give it a 0 if I could. I would like the old formula back!!!

Pros:

light

Cons:

makes face shiny
takes forever to absorb
makes skin look yellow
doesn't moisturize

I really want to like this, but I can't. It makes my face greasy, takes almost an hour to absorb completely, and gives my fair skin a yellowish tint (I look like I have jaundice!). All this would probably be okay with me if it actually did its job. It doesn't moisturize nearly well enough and I still have flakes everywhere, even using much more than the recommended 2 full pumps. It's also crazy that anyone should have to use that much in the first place. You shouldn't have to use 5 or 6 pumps to get your skin moisturized enough. I don't know why the old formula was replaced. It worked much better... All of a sudden it's replaced with something that you can easily use up in 2 or 3 weeks? Yeah, sure it has nothing to do with making money... I'm not happy with this. Please bring back the old formula.

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:

NOTHING

Cons:

made my skin dry, itchy, and flaky. No amount used helped in the slightest.

With so many terrible reviews of this product, do you not care what your customers think? The old moisturizer was pretty perfect. I say stick to what you know.

doesn't moisturize
greasy feeling
yellow
can't get rid of flakes

This is HORRIBLE. I used it for 2 and a half months, and I just couldn't take it anymore. It leaves my face dry after about 2 hours. I feel horrible throughout the day. DO NOT BUY

Pros:

Does not cause breakouts

Cons:

Does not moisturize
Cannot be used around eyes

I dislike both the AHA+ and the new moisturizer because of the licochalcone. The added licochalcone in the moisturizer makes the product yellow and causes a weird-looking yellow tone to my skin (something I put up with in the AHA+ because I only use the product at night). Another downside to the new moisturizer with licochalcone is that I cannot use it around my eyes. The old moisturizer was very delicate and after washing my hands, I could use a small amount of it to moisturize the skin around my eyes. Not a chance I can do so with the new moisturizer, I've had very stingy eyes, and tender skin when I've tried. Also, what's up with only being able to rate it 1.5 stars? I wanted to give it a 1 star.

Pros:

Does not cause breakouts

Cons:

Does not moisturize
Makes skin look oily and darker than it really is
Adding jojoba drops does not help

I decided to try this new moisturizer out despite the negative reviews and now I wish I had listened and stayed away. The first couple of uses I was impressed and thought it was just like the old moisturizer because it made my skin look greasy. After using this for a month my skin gets drier and drier everyday to the point that my skin cracks when I move my face. I have tried using three pumps and using three pumps with three drops of jojoba oil, but it was basically the same as using two pumps of product. In addition, this moisturizer made my face look darker compared to the rest of my body. Besides some acne scars, my face is the same color as my neck, but not when I use this. I would give anything to have the old moisturizer back. Granted, it made my skin look greasy, but at least it moisturized!

Pros:

NONE!!! Literally None!

Cons:

Didn't Moisturize!!! (even with 6 pumps)

I wanted to like this lotion so bad, but just couldn't. It really is a terrible moisturizer. I honestly felt like this made my skin even more dry than before. My skin was completely ruined from this product. My acne came back, my skin turned red (like when i started the regimen), along with the flakes (again, like when i started the regimen), itchy, tender, and just almost raw feeling... Basically my skin went from close to perfect until i decided to switch to this moisturizer, at that point my skin completely returned to how it was before i ever started the regimen. I was sooo upset. This is the first review i have ever done, because i dont want anyone to go through that experience!! PS. I wanted to like this product so bad, i even tried the recommended by DAN, use more approach, to the point of using 6 full pumps, which literally completely filled the palm of my hand which seemed ridiculous and unrealistic to do everyday 2 times a day. not only would you run out of product extremely fast but for daytime use? ehh i dont think soo!!! furthermore, 6 PUMPS STILL DIDN'T MOISTURIZE!!!!! so at that point i'd had enough and sent the product back! Horrible experience please be advised.
