Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone

I was very excited to try Dan's new moisturizer. However I was disappointed for the first time with one of Dan's products. The first day I used it I got really flaky and had very tight skin. I kept an open mind and continued to use it in hopes that my skin would get used to it. I read in Dan's blog about using 3 pumps and I believed that would fix the issue as I was only using 1 or 2. After about 2 weeks of using 3+ pumps I am still very dry and have decided to switch back to the old moisturizer. Maybe I could use more and be okay but there comes a point where one must balance time and benefit. I already spend 10-15minutes for the regimen and it works great. However, there comes a limit to how much time is practical and adding in the 'soaking in' time for 3+ pumps of moisturizer is pushing the line for me Dan seem's very open minded to suggestions so I'm sure it won't be long before we see an update to the new moisturizer. Until then I hope my old formula will last!

I really liked the other moisturizer. It felt great going on and really moisturized my skin after applying the bp. The new moisturizer has not worked for me at all. My skin burns right after I apply the bp and burns for about a half an hour afterwards. After the burning goes away, I experience a slight itchiness all day. It seems like I'm having alot of the same symptoms as some of the other reviews. I also work up this morning with my eyelids being slightly swollen. Luckily the swelling went down after about a half hour. I'm not sure what the problem is. I figured that it would work really well for me becuase the AHA with lichochalcone worked so well. Maybe its something else in the product? Please bring back the other moisturizer or at least make two versions of the moisturizer the old and the new one.

I never used the old formula but from the reviews, it seems much better, especially because it wasn't always yellow! The yellow makes my face a different color from my neck. It moisturizes for about half the day and then like clockwork, I start flaking like crazy. Literally every night. I've added jojoba oil but that just makes my face shiny. I am flaky to the point that I worry about applying the benzoyl peroxide because it could make me drier! THIS SYSTEM NEEDS A NEW MOISTURIZER. If anyone can suggest a replacement moisturizer, that'd b. great/

Loved the old formula! Will still use the cleanser and treatment, but will have to find a new moisturizer ASAP unless Dan come's back with the old formula.

I've been using Dan's program for 5 years now, long before he even had his own products. I loved all of the products including the old formula. It cleared my skin and I've been clear for 5 years. With the new moisturizer I have horrible, itchy eyes, swollen around the eyes even though I've been extremly careful about not getting it near my eyes. I'd go back to the old formula if I could. Please bring back the old formula. (AHA also gave the same eye reaction and the ingredient that was in the AHA and the new moisturizer is the licorice root... could that be the only problem in the new formula?)

DON'T BUY THIS IT DOES NOT WORK. I USE ALL OF DANS PRODUCTS, but this was an utter let down. I hope he brings back the old formula or does something else but this is a terrible product

I have been on Dan's system for six months and I love it. It has all but eliminated my acne. However, I got this new formula moisturizer a week ago and it is terrible. It caused my face to feel tight and then after a few days flakes started to appear. I tried upping the dose and using it three to four times a day. Finally I just gave up and used my travel size Original Formula, and it immediately took care of my flakes. I will continue to buy Dan's BP and cleanser, but I will be buying a new moisturizer today. Dan, e-mail me when you bring back the original formula.

It's decent, but can't handle winter flakes. Good for non-regimen users.

Not moisturizing and leaves skin dry and flaky. Please bring back the old one!

Unfortunately this moisturizer is really bad for the skin - after reading the other reviews here I am glad I'm not the only one experiencing this, but it also concerns me. This lotion should not be sold any longer and I would not recommend it to anyone, let alone to someone with sensitive, acne prone skin! I am really hoping to get a refund.
