Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

I am following the regimen with all the products from acne.org and have seen positive results in just two days. I'm amazed. This is BY FAR the best moisturizer I have ever used.

I adore this line of face care. I just order a second bottle of the cream. However over the past 5 weeks I developed swollen eyes, redness on my face and neck. I got allergy testing. Went to 4 doctors. Had 3 rounds of steroids. Finally, when I saw the allergist he said it was contact dermatitis and it was something I was putting on my face. I was saddened. I love acne.org. However the pieces started to fall into place. On my last, and most severe, flair up I had spent the day applying the cream to my eyes because they were dry from the previous flair up. When people see the picture I show them, they are in disbelief. My face and eyes look like costume make up. I can't see to drive. I don't know if there is a new ingredient added or if I developed an allergy over time.

Idon't know is that becos of the moisturiser or bp . its so irritating n burning on my skin. After I apply BP its completely ok, i just felt very dry, and then i put on the moisturiser like the regime suggested. I felt so irritated and burning . I have no idea is that becos of the moisturiser or BP.

I can't use this stuff. it feels too greasy and thick and I get clogged pores every time I use it. I tested it on my neck for a bit before trying on my face and it even clogged up pores there, and I do not get any kind of acne there at all normally.

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

I have not used the old moisturizer so i cant compare it to this one but i understand how people hate this when they have used a product for so long then its changed. It moisturizes fine and im only on the regimen 16 days and that when your skin is really dry and it works fine for me. If you are new to the regimen dont let the bad reviews of this mosturizer put you off because its the old moisturizer users that do not like it. It will work fine for new users as your skin wont have to adjust from using the old one for years.

My background: Naturally (when not on the Regimen) my skin is neither oily nor dry, it takes care of itself in that aspect; also my skin is not particularly sensitive, just acne prone. When using the BP, it is perfectly normal for it to dry your skin out. The moisturizer is supposed to combat that, and it doesn't. I have to add jojoba oil to get it to even remotely work, which leaves my face very shiny and oily, not soft. The AHA+ is a much better moisturizer once you're a few weeks along in the Regimen, but should only be used sparingly. I think I will go hunting for a new moisturizer because this one isn't cutting it for me.

I went through a period a few months ago where my skin was VERY dry, Stupidly, I used this product for WEEKS hoping it would eventually help - I just continued to use more and more. Finally, I said enough is enough and I switched back to Cetaphil and in ONE application my flakes were GONE. I'm not sure what exactly changed about the formula, but I can tell you that it is not a good change

I only use half a pump of the Benzoyl Peroxide treatment and I use even less than that of the moisturizer. I know that's not what the instructions say, but 3 pumps is too much product to put on my face and wait till it dries. Using half pumps is syill clearing up my acne AND I'm not experiencing any dryness or flakiness. If I don't use the moisturerizer, I can tell my skin will be flaky the next morning, because the BP makes my skin tight. I only use the BP and moisturizer at night...not in the morning. I do this because I still wear makeup and these products are just too thick to put makeup over. But I do use the cleanser night and day.

I finally got the regime two days ago and i know i probably havent given enough time but here goes: i figured it might be from my skin not being adjusted to the bp but after reading these reviews i think it might be from the moisturizer. I will continue using this for maybe a week longer then try a normal moisturizer and see what the go is. Also the skin around my eyes became very very dry and this moisturizer did not do a thing about it.
