Pros:

none

the new formula sucks! Originally I was so happy I found this site and thank god I had the old moisturizer before my wedding. I got many compliments about how nice my skin looked and now it is terrible because of the new moisturizer. I gave it an honest try, but using extra jojoba actually DOES clog my pores. Interesting how I can only click on 1.5 for a rating instead of 1. I would give it a 0 if I could. I would like the old formula back!!!

Pros:

No Burning
No Flakiness
Will Not Break You Out
Makes Skin Soft
Less Redness

Cons:

Takes A While To Dry I Guess
Doesn't Work For Several People

I started Master Dans final regime with his sacred products about 4 weeks ago. I bought the cleanser and the treatment but decided to use other moisturizers since Dans new moisturizer was rated low by a vast amount of critics. The cleanser and treatment wreaked havoc on my acne. I was only trying to reduce my acne to just one or two bumps but it was unmerciful. I want my acne back because I'm so used to it. Anywho, about 1 weeks into the final regime I was skeptical about the CeraVa moisturizer I was using, and after watching Master Dans video on why the new moisturizer is superior to the old on I decided to give this (Dan crafted) cream a try. I started to break out again during week twoish. Then I got my new moisturizer. I was expecting it to not moisturize enough. I used two pumps of everything (cleanser, treatment, and moisturizer). To my surprise Dans moisturizer was very moisturizing. Also it made my skin a lot softer and less red. I was very angry that it worked because so many people hate it? As long as you follow Dans guidelines to the letter then i don't understand why it wouldn't work. To all the you critics who were negatively impacted by this product, rethink what you're doing. Are you waiting until the treatment FULLY dries before moisturizing. Have you giving your skin time to get use to the new moisturizer (I didn't have to though). Are you going out into the sun for too long? Are you itching your face? Are you this thickly applying it and letting it air dry? In conclusion I'd like to say that I've suffered from Acne for a long time. If you are suffering from it and want advice, support, or just someone to talk to give shoot me an email at overseerjames@[link removed] I will not judge you and I know what it feels like to have tried everything. By the way, I'm a 17 year old male with hormonal acne from high testosterone and very oily skin if anyone was interested.

Pros:

Smooths and softens skin
Fragrance free

Cons:

Was hoping this product would work for me but unfortunately didnt moisturise my dry/sensitive skin enough and left my skin with that tight feeling all day. Disappointed.

Im sure it works for lots of you but my skin is very sensitive and dry and I need something that moisturises more and doesnt leave my skin feeling tight. Also, I am from the UK and paid a lot to have this shipped over and had to pay customs charges on top.

Pros:

Softens your skin.
Great eye makeup remover.

Cons:

Smells weird, yellow goopy, can't use it during the day on my oily skin because it will look very oily.

Don't have as many good things to say about this than the rest of the regimen products. If I put it on at night, it does soften my face, but my pillows end up with a sticky yellow layer. And I can't use it during the day on my overly oily skin, because then my face will look very very oily all day. I do use it as an eye makeup remover and it works very well, but then again so will most moisturizers.

Pros:

light

Cons:

makes face shiny
takes forever to absorb
makes skin look yellow
doesn't moisturize

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.

Pros:

Light
Moisturizes well
Prevents flaking
Doesn't cause new pimples
Goes on well under makeup

Cons:

Takes awhile to absorb into skin
Stains yellow
Leaves skin a little greasy feeling
No SPF

This is my favorite moisturizer that I have found so far. I really like the lightness and the fragrance. I use it after using Dan's BP which is extremely drying but this moisturizer hydrates my skin really well and prevents flaking. It works really well under my makeup because it absorbs into the skin instead of just staying on top of it. I use 2 full pumps which may be why it takes so long to absorb into my skin. I usually takes over 20 minutes for it to fully absorb which doesn't seem that long but when I'm rushing to get ready in the morning or waiting to go to bed at night, it seems like forever. My skin does look and feel a little greasy but I prefer that over dry skin. It has stained my sheets yellow but that doesn't bother me too much. Overall I love this moisturizer. I just wish it had SPF!

Pros:

Lightweight
Will not cause breakouts
Goes on smooth

Cons:

Could be a little more hydrating
Stains things yellow

This is a pretty good moisturizer. I have to say, I have always been so afraid to moisturize in fear that the lotion will clog my pores and cause breakouts. This is the first time in my life that I'm not afraid to put lotion on my face! I put about 2 pumps on my fingers and smooth it over my face lightly. You will see some residue and that's ok because you are not supposed to rub it in fully. I let it absorb into the skin, and this happens pretty quickly. Overall good cream that absorbs fast, is lightweight, and evens out skin tone.

Great moisturizer whether you are or aren't on The Regimen. This is the only product I apply to my skin both morning and at night. It is amazing! Add some drops of jojoba oil for some extra hydration ;)

Pros:

Doesn't break me out.
Dries okay fast
I'm very allergic to everything (perfume, parabens etc.) but not this!

Cons:

leaves my skin looking yellow-ish (sometimes)
DOESN'T MOISTURIZE MY SKIN ENOUGH!!
Didn't even help with JOJOBA-oil.. Dissapointing, but it was better then having no moisturizer at all or one that broke my skin out..

No go for me but I bet it works for some.. or maybe I just use to much benzoyl peroxide.. I'm cutting down but it still doesn't work as well as Alba's with green tea and aloe..
