Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

I recently wrote a review on this and decided to update. This moisturizer is terrible. I had high hopes for this moisturizer but it is awful. I received a sample and I was so excited to try it, Okay, the smell is decent but it takes forever to soak in and when it does, my skin is back to being flaky and dry beyond reasoning 20 minutes after I use it. I'm so glad I did not purchase the big bottle. This is a waste of money. I suggest getting a sample before you commit to the bigger bottle. You'll thank me later.

Ineffective. The old formula was better, but caused shininess and small clogs. I've since switched to Bioderma's Hydrabio Light, and it's the best! Way better than the old and new formulas. It's more expensive though, but my face is worth it. Completely clear now!!!

The bottom line is that is the lotion for those that are seeking: a NIGHT lotion( it doesn't contain ANY sun protection) that doesn't feel heavy on the skin, is gentle, and provides moderate moisture. Best for 3 out of 4 seasons. In winter it is wise to move on to a petrolatum based product.

It's an effective moisturizer.

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.

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!

I'm unhappy with the new moisturizer; I miss the old one. My face has never been this dry. It doesn't matter how much I apply, it just doesn't moisturize (not even the jojoba oil helps). The only reason I rated it a 2 was because it didn't break me out. Sorry Dan.

WHY DAN.. WHY.. I apply heaps of it at night and wake up and my face is crusty and flaking. i cleanse face and my face is still dry so i skip BP apply more heaps of moistuizer and leaves my face looking yellow and greasy with pounds of lotion on and by the end of the day i wash it off and still my face is dry to the bone

On top of just finding out that I am either very sensitive or allergic to Benzol Peroxide, I put this on my face expecting the relief like that of I get from my Aveeno moisturizer. I was wrong. It felt like my face was on fire again, right after I had all ready went through with it on BP. School tomorrow. Oh joy.

I really like this moisturizer. It's fast absorbing and really moistuizes my skin completely. I like to use it with a joboba oil but if I end up using too much joboba oil and my face still looks oily after a few mintues, I just use a touch more of this moisturizer and it takes care of the greasy look that using too much joboba creates. It absorbs quickly. I use a lot of this stuff and have noticed even if I put "too much" on, it absorbs completely within a minute or two. I love that it comes in a large quantity, which I haven't found with any other moisturizer. I won't buy anything else now! Big fan!
