Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

After reading many negative reviews on this product, I still ordered it and gave it a fair chance since I know that everyone has different skin. Unfortunately, within a day of using this moisturizer, my skin was extremely irritated, itchy, red, and dry. Around my mouth and chin began to feel tight and eventually peeled. I also broke out with 4-5 new pimples. I used this product for about a week to give it a chance. Shortly after stopping, the dry/itchy/flaky/red skin is going away. I'm bummed because I do trust a lot of the information and products on this site..and I'm searching for that "perfect" moisturizer. I also must add that I do not use the regimen products, just wanted to try this cream.

Have been using products for about a year with no problem. Then after i ordered a new updated version of this moisturizer my lips and under eye area became extremely swollen and itchy. I never dreamed it was the moisturizer that I had used for over a year. I went to the Dermatoligist then through a series of allergy test since the condition kept repeating. Finally in desperation I eliminated one by one all facial products. When I eliminated this moisturizer no more problems. There are too many reviews such as mine. There is a problem here that needs to be addressed. This was not a minor irrational but eye shutting swelling .

If you're on the Acne.org regime, which you probably are if you have this moisturizer, then you will need the moisture. This product is really this to some heavy creams for dry skin, which we should have with this routine. I was on the routine for about a year and just discontinued to start Retin-A. I started to get painfully dry and itchy around mouth area with RED tinted skin. I removed BP for about a week with no prevail; I was still as unusually dry. I can't believe I thought that the BP was making me worse, but actually it was the MOISTURIZER. Unbelievable that after a year I would get this reaction from the moisturizer. However, I have never broken out from this moisturizer, so that is a major plus. When I was really, really dry and chapped I used DML Fórte Cream. It is delightful! You can try getting it online or though a dermatologist -- it is doctor grade (good stuff). It will NOT break you out. It is worth a try because you may need extra hydration once in a while. DML makes extremely gentle products, you can even use them on baby skin. I have dry, sensitive skin if anyone is wondering. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

I had my acne under control, using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, BP 2.5%, Olay Moisturizing lotion for Sensitive Skin. Then about 2 days ago I decided to bust out my unopened Acne.org moisturizer. Put the moisturizer on at night, and the next day a few white heads appeared (chin, side of face). I was surprised considering it was advertised for acne users. In addition, it is not a good consistency because it was too watery. I will be continuing with experimentation of moisturizers. My next up is Vanicream lite lotion.

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!

I have dry skin, this moisturizer does nothing for me

I have tried the old moisturizer before, it got the sting feeling, this one has none. It helps to calm down my skin after using the BP, and doesnt clog the pores which is the main point of getting clear. Is actually not that bad as i was told by the previous review. Give it a try. you will love it.

Bring old formula back

I really like the moisturizer, I add the jojoba oil and it really helps my flakes and dry skin. I do this several times a day to my skin. The Acne.org products have made a bid difference in my skin. A big improvement! Would highly recommend this program!

I purchased the entire regimen last year and two months after using it, my acne never came back! It was such a miracle that I did not need to keep using the regimen. I was not impressed by this moisturizer at that time so I returned to my old, expensive moisturizer. Recently, my old moisturizer starts drying me out so I decided to use this moisturizer (I still left some when I stopped using the regimen last year) under my regular creme to add extra moisture. I'm so glad I did!!! The moisturizer is very light and easy to absorb (2 pump is too much for me so I use 1 pump each time, maybe that's why it's much easier to sink in my skin than before). I also gently massage until it's fully absorbed. OMG!!! It makes my skin supple and glow naturally without leaving any yellow stain or a greasy feeling! I love how it works on my skin and I'll continue purchasing this product.
