Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

This moisturizer is a good moisturizer for acne but I think it could be a little bit better! It definitely moisturizes and it's very easy to apply. However, the biggest con, in my opinion, is the greasiness that comes with the it. No matter how long you leave it to dry on your face, my face is consistently greasy and sticky and it's probably (I'm pretty sure) because of the jojoba oil. Taking a while to absorb isn't a HUGE deal because if you think about it, you're putting 1-2 pumps and that's a lot of moisturizer; you can't really complain about that. This slight stinging is manageable b/c it's temporary but the greasiness is quite bothersome. But overall it's not a bad moisturizer! I would, however, consider looking into other moisturizers to supplant.

I have been using this moisturizer (as part of the Regimen) for about 3 months now, and I have been very pleased with it. At first I was wary due to the negative reviews regarding the new formula, however it has worked fantastically for me. I love the healthy-looking glow it gives my skin and it greatly helps to reduce the dryness that comes along with benzoyl peroxide treatment. You do need to give the moisturizer an adequate amount of time to set and absorb -- your skin may appear yellow during this time. You may have to wait around 15 minutes for this, but in my opinion it is worth it. Bottom line -- I am very happy with this moisturizer and felt compelled to put in my positive review since there seem to be many complaining about the new formula. It is the best moisturizer I have found for me and I hope Dan continues it as it is.

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.

I like it :) doesn't leave me shinny hahah works just fine for me...now if I can just find the perfect SPF to add...

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 ;)

I tested this product for a few weeks. Already after a few days i recognized, that my skin went bad.

It works, but wish it was more moisturizing.

This is the only moisturizer that i have actually enjoyed having on my face. Every other one i have tried has made me feel clogged and greasy. This does not make me feel like that at all, it actually feels good to have on my face. It could be a little more moisturizing for some people but for my skin it is perfect.

I find this a really good product, can be used with knowing it's not going to make you breakout. Always feels like such a risk to try a moisturiser and running that risk of extra lesions. This product can be used with confindence without the risk of breakouts. In my case anyway. I believe the recommended dosage is perhaps too much, which could be why so many say it doesn't absorb. Just use as much as you need, you be the judge. There really is little, if any smell, and it's not at all unpleasant. The product has a good amount of soothing anti-irritant ingredients. Feels pleasant on, again with not applying too much. During winter months multiple applications throughout the day are perhaps the way to go. It isn't matte and makes my skin look red and as if I have just wet it. So personally it's not the best choice for my AM regime. But I do soothe extra dry areas and of course use it PM. I believe that your choice of face wash is really important in the dry winter months. Dan's wash (just like nearly every other wash) is just too drying for me at this time of year(when using BP), summertime is fine though. During winter an non-lathering or lotion type wash is far less drying, and makes my skin much more manageable. I cannot overstate how much this simple change really made my skin so much better. Despite some minor negs, I give this four and half stars,but can't select it.

i apply a minimal amount of moisturiser, the baaaare minimum, wait for it to absorb, apply my make up, looks great then WHAM, within a couple hours my face is the shiny show. honestly? i hate it ¬ ¬ this is definitely recommended to those with dry skin, but for us with oily skin, it's literally frying pan to fire.
