Doesnt absorb quickly
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!

Slather it on!
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!

SKIP THIS!
I am so happy with the Regimen, but I did not like the moisturizer. It made my skin flakey. I skipped using the moisturizer, and I noticed my skin was clearer with out it! I then went back to using the moisturizer, and I noticed more bumps and black heads and flakiness. I no longer use a moisturizer and my skin looks great, so this might just be me!

Great moisturizer!
Wow, I'm surprised by all the bad reviews on here! I happen to really like this moisturizer. It's gentle and works well with my combination, sensitive skin. I guess it's a tad bit slow to absorb, as in I wouldn't go out in public without waiting a few minutes because I look shiny temporarily. But that's the only downside! There are some great ingredients in here...jojoba oil, licorice root, Squalane, vitamin E, etc.... It works well under makeup. The price is right too. All around, the whole kit is awesome. Thank you Dan!

Too greasy and not moisturizing enough

Pros:

really good ingredients
calming on the skin

Cons:

greasy residue, too much jojoba for oily skin
could be a bit more moisturizing

Not a bad moisturizer at all, the ingredients are very nice but I would love it if jojoba oil was a bit lower and sodium hyaluronate a bit higher in the ingredients list. I don't find jojoba oil moisturizing enough and still it leaves quite a greasy residue which is a problem if you have oily skin like me. It absorbs after 15mins but it's still very greasy so I use it just over night and it works ok. I would very much prefer if I could add jojoba oil myself.

Turned my face orange

Pros:

Soothing
Moisturizing

Cons:

The yellow color

I loved everything about this moisturizer - it was cooling and calming on my skin on top of the BP, wasn't too greasy, easy to spread, and kept my skin moisturized - HOWEVER, the big downfall is the yellow coloring which turned my face orange. It wasn't even a tan look, I looked ORANGE. I'm quite fair (lighter than a MAC NC15 for reference) so having the look of an orange face against a very pale chest... that's not cute.

Light..

Pros:

Very light, sinks into the skin very well

Cons:

Might not work for very dry skin but try...

A very light moisturiser perfect for oily skin. I love the smell and you will do too if you like the smell of olive oil. However I have overused the BP and both the moisturiser and the jojoba oil don't seem to help my current overly dry skin. Beware! BP is very strong and although I thought I had tried everything and my skin was going to be bullet proof :-) .. Well BP has dried out my skin big time. I am desperate now as I am 36 and I ended up with deep wrinkles around my mouth. Phew!! My fault for over using the BP. I shall continue to use the moisturiser after my skin has calmed down.

Great Moisturizer

Pros:

Dries Fairly Quickly
Moisturizes very well.

Cons:

None.

I've dealt with acne my entire life. There are times when I have it under control and there are times when it flares ups for no apparent reason. I've used the Regimen on and off for years, and I've come to the realize that it's the only way to keep my acne under control. However let me tell you , buy the Cetaphil Soap Bar or the Store brand one from Walgreens or Cvs, it's a much cheaper option for "gentle cleanser" ( 3 bars for $8-$9 bucks and they last a while). For the Benzoyl Peroxide and Moisturizer YOU MUST but it from Acne.org, the 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide is great and the Moisturizer is awesome. If you get Cystic acne, just go to the dermatologist and get some Cortisone shots, I've gotten them and they work great. Unfortunately it seems like I, like many other people on this site, will have to do this Regimen till who knows when in our lives. As far as my diet, I've tried all possible diets and i'd still get acne, I tried Zarzaparilla for 3 months ( I was making the tea myself with the actual herb), I tried the caveman regimen for 3 months and more stuff, the only thing that works is ocassional use of antibiotics and cortisone shots if Cystic acne flares up and the Regimen. By the way , I only use BP at night , in the morning I still wash my face but instead of BP i use some topical antibiotic that my derm gave me Clyndamacin if I'm not mistaken, but I don't use it all over , i apply to spots where i might something semi active, and once it dries I apply moisturizer. ALWAYS APPLY MOISTURIZER!!!BP will irritate your skin so much and even cause more acne. But i'm telling you , you won't find another MOISTURIZER like this one out there, the closest thing is Neutrogena - Combinatino Skin, but it's too expensive and it doesn't dry as well as the Acne.org Moisturizer.

Does it ´s required job!

Pros:

Smells good, moisturizes the skin
Jojoba oil is the 2nd ingredient

Cons:

This moisturizer is great. You will not find this quality moisturizer anywhere else on the market. This moisturizer along with Dan ´s other products is a testimony to why he gets up in the morning and does what he does; help people, make quality products and improve people's lives.
