Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

I haven't used the old moisturizer, so I don't have anything to compare to. But overall, I am thrilled with this whole system. I have had moderate acne for 20 years and this moisturizer is the only one I have EVER found that doesn't break me out. I have always had very oily skin, but the Acne.org BP treatment is very drying, and the moisturizer is perfect. My skin is not oily at all now.

My problem with the old one was that it was not moisturizing enough without adding jojoba, and that it was way too greasy with it. Regardless, I used it for years. I'm just happy that there is a non-greasy and more soothing formula now. It's great by itself (I've generally not had to add jojoba), but it stays matte even if I do add jojoba. By far the best moisturizer ever. You've outdone yourself, Dan! Now what to do with my leftover old moisturizer...

highly recommended, it does the job. it is better than the cetaphil moisturizer.

I used to use Dan's regimen years ago and it worked great. I recently started up again a few weeks ago. I was really worried that this moisturizer would be terrible from the reviews...but i dont know what people are talking about. First, the ingredients are excellently formulated, i dare you to find another moisturizer like this one. I use the recommened two pumps (the brand new bottle is 2 pumps, not 3), and at night I apply 6 drops of jojoba oil, in the morning I apply 2 to 4 depending on how dry my skin is. It feels great on my face, and the jojoba works like a charm. I feel like this moisturizer is helping my acne almost as much as the BP! Im so glad i trusted my instincts and tried this product. I think people are using too much BP too quickly, and blame the dryness on this moisturizer. Start slow and give it time! So far this moisturizer has been a heaven send. Maybe its the extra jojoba oil I add which makes it so good. Anyways, i highly recommend to anybody

I have been on the Regimen for about 2 years, and have been using the new moisturizer ever since it came out. My acne used to be moderately severe, but now it's quite light, and this moisturizer has been heavenly for the past few months. Honestly, it is much better than the original. I'm actually amazed by all the negative comments here...! The jojoba oil and licorice root extract in this new formula have really worked at calming my skin. I've found that, yes, it can sting, but this only occurs if I don't wait long enough between applying BP and moisturizer. I know that Dan says 15 mins. is enough, but if you wait 30-45 mins., the moisturizer really does not sting very much at all! I am left slightly red/irritated for maybe 5-10 mins, but after that my skin is hydrated, feels fresh, and although slightly oily, the tight feeling from the BP is completely gone! Once, I had to go back to what I had left of the old formula for a few weeks, and it was then that I realized the BP was not causing my redness... the old moisturizer was. Right when I put it on, it left me looking like a tomato for hours afterwards. This new formula does have a yellow tint, and maybe it's because my skin color has tones of yellow already, but once it sinks into the skin I doubt it would be that noticeable. The new moisturizer has never left me as embarrassed or ashamed of my redness as the old formula had. I remember being mortified when someone in class asked why my skin was bright orange (and no it wasn't from a tan, haha)! I honestly believe that this new formula is gentler and more effective for acne-prone skin when applied properly, especially after waiting long enough for your acne treatment to dry beforehand. I also use this moisturizer on my neck and hands, and I really have only positive things to say about it. As part of the Regimen, this moisturizer has definitely helped me get rid of my acne and get back my confidence.

This moisturizer has completely eliminated my flakiness, something the original moisturizer came close to doing, but could never quite accomplish. It also feels great, and doesn't leave annoying residue behind. Unlike the other more tiresome aspects of the regimen, I actually look forward to applying this moisturizer. It has a real cooling and calming effect on my skin and feels like the perfect remedy after slathering myself with BP. The increased price is a bummer, but the benefits of this new formula outweigh the costs in my opinion. It also does leave yellow stains on things like sheets after repeated exposures. Although this is something I'm pretty used to considering BP does the same thing, it's still pretty frustrating. Many have commented that this moisturizer requires more product to work properly. This hasn't been my experience. I use three pumps (from the newer bottles), which is slightly more than I was using with the original. Considering I use 4 pumps of BP to keep my acne under control, I think this is pretty good. Still, I'm surprised to hear so many people commenting that they need 6+ pumps as I haven't found that to be necessary in the slightest.

I am following the regimen with all the products from acne.org and have seen positive results in just two days. I'm amazed. This is BY FAR the best moisturizer I have ever used.

I have not used the old moisturizer so i cant compare it to this one but i understand how people hate this when they have used a product for so long then its changed. It moisturizes fine and im only on the regimen 16 days and that when your skin is really dry and it works fine for me. If you are new to the regimen dont let the bad reviews of this mosturizer put you off because its the old moisturizer users that do not like it. It will work fine for new users as your skin wont have to adjust from using the old one for years.

I was hesitant to switch over from the first moisturizer but said ah well screw it this guy knows what he is doing! I like this moisturizer better than the first one because it gets rid of the tiny redness that the benzoyl peroxide does to my face! I also like the smell better than the first moisturizer.

I absolutely LOVE the new moisturizer. Though the old moisturizer was did a great job in eliminating flakes and keeping skin moisturized, it burned and left my skin feeling raw and shiny, consequently adding to irritation. However, this new moisturizer completely takes away redness from my skin (especially when i put a bit of AHA+ with it) and absorbs extremely well. My skin really absorbs the moisturizer well and there are no feelings of oiliness, burning, or any sort of even minor irritation. This new moisturizer has completely reinvigorated my confidence in the regimen and after 2 month of redness from the moisturizer, I feel I can stick with the new moisturizer-powered regimen indefinitely. Fantastic job Dan!
