Pros:

*Light
*Goes on Smooth
*Absorbs quickly

Cons:

-Nothing really. Kinda expensive if you buy the bigger bottle.

I dont know what some people are talking about on here. I love this Moisturizer! It goes on Easy, doesnt make me breakout, its not a thick moisturizer so thats a plus. It also absorbs quicky. I only use a Pea size amount. That includes on my whole face and neck. Maybe some people are using too much and caking it on. IDK lol All i know is this stuff is awesome for me. I use it every morning after im done washing my face with cetaphil anti-bacterial soap. "Bottom Line" Its a comfortable Moisturizer.

Pros:

Positive that this does not cause breakouts, reduces redness from BP or AHA application

Cons:

Does not moisturize or take care of flakes

I've used the new moisturizer for about 9 months. The one good thing about it is that you can be sure that this product will not cause your skin to break out. It is a very mild formula that also helps to reduce redness caused from application of BP or AHA. However, it hardly functions as a moisturizer and does not take care of flakes. I view this product as more of an inert base with which to mix jojoba oil with. I have to add a lot of jojoba oil to the product to hydrate my skin and I feel that the oil does the moisturizing while the lotion gives me a medium with which to spread it around my face. The lotion is quite runny and takes a long time to absorb. Even with the added jojoba oil I still end up getting flakes within a couple of hours and my face feels dry and tight. Bottom line: safe to use but not a very effective moisturizer.

Pros:

Good for your skin (supposedly)

Cons:

Not moisturizing enough.

I've been on the Regimen for a good 6-7 years, and I must admit that this moisturizer is nowhere near as useful to me as the original one. When I first started the regimen I was using some "Eucerin" lotion that was by far the best on the market - until it was discontinued. When Dan came out with his original formula it was exactly what I needed, and I'm still using it to the day, though I'm finally running out forever. I've bought a few bottles of this new formula to use when it wouldn't be detrimental, such as the summer when it's not as dry outside, and this moisturizer may be an awesome mix of chemicals, but it just doesn't do what a moisturizer should do, and that's moisturize.

Pros:

Light
No scent
contains licorice root
doesn't sting

Cons:

doesn't take care of flaky skin
greasy/doesn't absorb well (probably b/c of jojoba oil as 2nd ingredient)

i just started the regimen last month..the cleanser and bp are really goood..but the moisturizer doesn't cut it..it does moisture for like an hour...but after that my face feel like i have never put it on..in my opinion, dans should put less jojoba oil in the moisturizer (too much jojoba oil in the moisturizer make it hard for my skin to absorb) and instead put more Methyl Gluceth-20 in there as a second ingredient behind water...or use some other moisture ingredient..thats just my opinion...

Pros:

Doesn't break out my skin

Cons:

Yellow color is too noticeable
Takes a long time to dry
Difficult to wear under makeup

I was excited that Dan was putting out a new formula but I've tried this for three months and I've found that I can only use it at night. It is too greasy for day time use and the yellow color is noticeable when I use a lot of it. I've used acne.org moisturizer since 2008 and now I'm having to change :(

Pros:

- Doesn't make me break out

Cons:

- Liquid-like consistency
- Takes forever to dry
- Still have flakes
- Makes skin look greasy
- Burns/stings and causes redness

I really want to like this moisturizer, but I just can't. I've been using this moisturizer, along with the cleanser and BP for about 3 weeks now and I just don't feel like it's that great. I have oily, acne prone skin and while this doesn't seem to make me break out... it's not doing anything else. Once applied it sits on my skin forever. When it finally absorbs it looks really greasy. Throughout the day my skin will noticeably flake. I don't feel like it moisturizes as well as it should. Maybe I'd prefer a thicker cream, but I'll take a thicker cream making me look oily if it acutally works. Also, the lotion causes me more irritation than the BP! Once the BP dries, my skin feels fine (if anything it's tight), but once I apply the lotion... red/burning/stinging sensation. Has to be the moisturizer. I know I should probably give it a little more time, but the tomato redness and burning it causes around my mouth isn't worth it. I'll take the flakes. On a mission to find someting more agreeable for me.

Pros:

- Does not leave skin as shiny as the old formula
- Feels less greasy when used with Dan's BP than the old formula
- Doesn't have the weird cinnamon smell the old formula had

Cons:

- Not moisturizing enough. My skin has been basically perfect for four years, and making the switch to this from the old formula has ended that. The skin around my mouth is dry to the point where when I smile, it almost cracks.
- Burns on application and causes redness
- Need to use a lot for it to do anything. I could use two pumps of the old formula and be good all day; with this I use three pumps in the morning, plus jojoba oil, and still need to use more throughout the day.

Huge disappointment. It may be fine if you are in a humid climate; I'm not, so I don't know. I am in air-conditioned rooms all day, so the air is cool and dry, and this moisturizer just isn't up to the task. It leaves my skin cracked, flaking, red, and burning. From a veteran Regimen follower and guy who truly respects Dan for the work he has done for us: avoid this product.

Pros:

I can actually USE this moisturizer!
It is lightweight, and absorbs into the skin amazingly
Very soothing, and calms my redness down

Cons:

None! I am in love!!!

I have been searching for a moisturizer for years and have tried almost everything under the sun for my oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. Basically, my skin exhibits "diva-like behavior." I either break out from it or it doesnt absorb so I end up looking like I just applied fryer grease to my face. Not the best look for anybody, especially a girl who wears makeup! I still cant believe how well this works--I almost didnt order it because I had given up on moisturizers entirely. Boy, would that have been the mistake of the year! Definitely give this moisturizer a try. I am so glad I did! Now I have a solid skin care regimen that my skin is happy with! :)

Pros:

No smell

Cons:

Takes ages to dry
Does not work unless heaps is applied

I had high hopes for this product. However, I am very dissapointed with it and will not be buying it again. First off, it takes at least 4 pumps on the face for me to control all the flaking caused by the Cleanser and BP and this is just not economically viable for me, using 8 pumps each day.
