A moisturizer that I actually like and continue to use!
I received a free travel kit with my purchase of the AHA+. I wasn't a fan of the BP treatment, but I really like the moisturizer. I have very oily skin, but I know that I still need to moisturize, especially since I'm using a BP treatment (Proactive +) and the AHA+. For me, this moisturizer is the perfect balance between light moisture and too much moisture. It's goes on smooth and my skin absorbs it very quickly. It also has a nice calming effect on my skin. I also like the fact that is doesn't really have a smell. I like to use just the moisturizer in the morning. At night before bed, I mix in a little of the AHA+ with the moisturizer. Works wonders! I'm almost out of the free travel size, so I'll be buying a 16oz bottle of this stuff.

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.

nice but...

Pros:

eliminates flakiness
repairs your skin
good pre base for make up

Cons:

the smell
too greasy feel when used in the regimen
the yellow residue

I have been using it for three weeks, following the regimen. The first feeling was that it smelled awful and it was too heavy, but now I got used to the smell. I find different positives and negative aspects depending on the use. If you use it as a part of the regimen it is a good moisturizer because it helps to eliminate flakiness, however you will feel your face greasy and yellow colour, what I do to solve this is grabbing a tissue and pressing it on my face to eliminate these oils that remain after applying, after that if I apply my make up it stays very well. If you use it as a moisturizer and not as a part of the regimen I think you don ´t have all these problems because you can use a normal ammount and your skin will not have problems absorving it and you will not have that yellow residue. I know it because sometimes I need to wash my face and what I do after is putting a normal ammount and then I love how it works.

Pros:

-Light
-It is absorbed nicely
-Keeps skin from flaking throughout whole day
-Works even when my skin is exposed to freezing temperatures

Cons:

-Stains white clothes
-Sometimes burns upon application (but may just be
my very sensitive skin)

More effective in keeping my face from flaking than Cetaphil and Cerave.

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.

Pros:

Soothing
Moisturizing

Cons:

Can ball up
Leaves my skin slightly greasy with 2 full pumps

I like this moisturizer, but it is slightly bothersome that it can sometimes ball up and peel off later in the day. I find that 2 full pumps leaves my skin greasy, so I usually use around a pump and a half. I will continue to use this moisturizer until Acne.org reformulates it to get rid of the idiosyncrasies!

Pros:

Doesn't clog pores
No shine or greasy feeling

Cons:

Need several applications for flakiness

I stayed away from this because of all the negative reviews and than finally decided to give it a try, and I'm glad I did. I have been on the hunt for a moisturizer for years. I have very oily skin and usually a few hours after applying any moisturizer I'm greasy. This one doesn't make me greasy at all and no shine! This a great moisturizer for anyone who has very oily skin. I gave it 4 stars because you need several applications for flakiness.

Pros:

Smoothe texture
Doesn't cause breakouts
Great blend of ingredients

Cons:

Could be a little more moisturising

Love the composition of this cream, I find it moisturises the skin well without leaving me too greasy. However, my skin still feels a little tight, despite adding jojoba oil when applying.
