Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

I've used Acne.org moisturizer twice daily for 14 years. I assumed the new moisturizer would be fine, but something started breaking me out over the past few months and I hadn't changed my routine. I did all of the anti-acne behaviors I knew (clean pillowcases and towels) and tried changing my sunscreen and my cleanser, but nothing worked. The moisturizer was the last thing I suspected, the ingredients were the same (though the color and consistency changed) and I've used it forever. Lo and behold, when I finally stopped the acne.org moisturizer, the breakout disappeared. I'm not happy with my current moisturizer either, but at least my face is smooth and clear again. Please don't gaslight us saying it's something else we're doing that's causing the breakouts. I know it's not "supposed to", but user experience is saying it is affecting at least a handful of loyal long-time customers. I'm devastated.

It has great non comedogenic ingredients, also it's fragrance free! YAY! I've been searching for a better moisturizer and couldn't find one, they all have the same cheap ingredients, even expensive ones. You can tell the acne.org moisturizer is formulated for acne prone skin, unlike others; I really don't understand why fragrance is used in moisturizers anyway, especially ones formulated for sensitive skin. The only downside is that it gives my skin a yellow tint so that after I use it in the morning I can clearly see a huge difference in color between my face and my neck. EDIT: changed to 5 stars, I figured you could use a different moisturizer in the morning if the yellow tint is a problem, and keep to this one in the evening.

I won't repeat all of what others have said. Had a burning feeling, and never got used to it...It might be an allergy to licorice, I don't know. Honestly, this is not a good moisturizer. for most of the reasons below. I'd love a new formula, or a moisturizer without licochalcone. Oh, and redness from BP does not fade with this moisturizer. At least, it did not give me more acne. A NEW MOISTURIZER ! WITHOUT THIS YELLOW THING !

Absolutely does not work for me! Not really moisturizes. The skin is dry and peel off! Very sorry!

I purchased this with the treatment. I always have a very difficult time finding a moisturizer for my veryyyy sensitive and combination skin that wont break me out and this stuff doesnt! yay what a plus! however, this stuff takes forever to get absorbed!! I used half the amount recommended, like half a pump, and it still takes forever to get absorbed. Once it is absorbed (a few minutes) my face doesnt feel greasy. a lot of ppl complain about the colour, but it is no difficult than the famous clinique moisturizer! it doesnt change the colour of my skin once absorbed. in conclusion, i like this one, i will repurchase as the positive out weight the negative!

I've learned a lot about skin in the last few years (thanks, college!) and the key to moisturizing your epidermis is to slather on the lotion love. Try this: next time you apply sunscreen, smear it all over your face. Be messy. Wait 15 minutes and see how much your skin has absorbed. It's like we're sponges! So be generous with acne.org's moisturizer, too. I've used the regimen for 3-4 years and couldn't be more positive in my recommendation. This moisturizer won't leave you oily (I have combination skin); you will have a dewy sensation though. If you have particularly oily skin, expect this moisturizer to keep you balanced. I notice my oily spots (T-zone) are apparent mid-day, but this is normal for me and not associated with subsequent breakouts as it was before the regimen. If you have the same problem, simply blot with tissue or blotting paper. If you wear make-up, be sure you are not adding to the problem! Find powders, foundation, etc., products with jojoba oil and little to no petroleum or other types of oils. JOJOBA FOR THE WIN!

I'm not sure what it is, but the moisturizer is great in all, in terms of hydrating my face, but it makes my face glow like crazy! It seems that it really never absorbs. It just sits on my face until I wash it off. It makes me not want to apply it anymore. It works to an extent, but the trade off is hardly worth it.

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.

Liked the old formula better

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.
