Pros:

goes on easily, moisturizes very well, no scent, does not cause breakouts

Cons:

does not fully absorb, leaves face looking shiny and greasy, yellow stains on white clothes

Although I am pleased that this product moisturizes well and does not cause breakouts for me, ultimately I am disappointed with it due to the fact that I cannot wear it during the day. It never fully absorbs and leaves my face looking very greasy. It's great for overnight use (especially if my skin is feeling extra parched), but overall this is not enough for me to continue purchasing it.

Pros:

Sadly, none

Cons:

Doesn't get rid of flakes
Stings face after BP
Just doesn't moisturize in general

It worked at first and I got my hopes up believing it would work, but after about a week it just stopped working even when I used a huge amount of the product with jojoba. I decided I would still give it a chance and kept using it for about 3 months (plus I didn't trust any products but Dan's, until now) but it still wouldn't solve the dryness and flaking. Eventually I gave up on it and starting using Cetaphil DailyAdvance Ultrahydrating Lotion, which did solve the flakes, but makes my face red and kind of greasy. It's a shame, because all of Dan's other products are marvelous, but the moisturizer just ruins it. We need the old one.

Pros:

a little goes a long way
very moisturizing
absorbs quickly

Cons:

could be greasy if too much is applied

I love this moisturizer. I used too much the first time and I hated it because I thought it made me greasy. But after a few days I learned what was enough for my skin and now it is my favorite moisturizer I have ever used.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Didn't get rid of flakes

I went through a period a few months ago where my skin was VERY dry, Stupidly, I used this product for WEEKS hoping it would eventually help - I just continued to use more and more. Finally, I said enough is enough and I switched back to Cetaphil and in ONE application my flakes were GONE. I'm not sure what exactly changed about the formula, but I can tell you that it is not a good change

Pros:

-none!! NONE!!! can't stress this enough!! NO PROS!

Cons:

-sooo bad, i'm surprised how bad it is every time I use it
-gave it two weeks time, used a HORRENDOUSLY HUGE AMOUNT every time YET NO MOISTURE!!!
-astoundingly bad product
-skin is MORE dry with it than without it!
-How is that possible???
-please, listen - if your skin is even slightly dry AVOID this

-I recently did a 10% TCA chem peel, and used this horrendous product, and it DID NOTHING to moisturize my skin -as a result i was left with peeling, horrendous crocodile skin -I was saving a bottle of the old formula for emergencies, and I thought that this severely dry skin constituted as one -applied old formula, and HOURS later my skin still feels soft and supple, no flakes -Proves the pover of the old formula -also my mother tried it, she has the skin of a baby (perfect) and she says that this made her skin look old -DO NOT BUY!!!!! WASTE OF MONEY and WORSE, WASTE OF SKIN!

I love this new formula! Don't ever change it back to the old formula. I hated the old one because it is very heavy feeling and sticky.

Pros:

Works for me.
Has a pump.

Cons:

Weird yellow color.
End of the product always dries out by the next time I use it. I always have to pump it out and wipe it.

I only use half a pump of the Benzoyl Peroxide treatment and I use even less than that of the moisturizer. I know that's not what the instructions say, but 3 pumps is too much product to put on my face and wait till it dries. Using half pumps is syill clearing up my acne AND I'm not experiencing any dryness or flakiness. If I don't use the moisturerizer, I can tell my skin will be flaky the next morning, because the BP makes my skin tight. I only use the BP and moisturizer at night...not in the morning. I do this because I still wear makeup and these products are just too thick to put makeup over. But I do use the cleanser night and day.

Cons:

-Doesn't moisturize
-Awesome mustard complexion

I tried to like this moisturizer. I really did. I've been on the acne.org regimen for 7 weeks now and have used this moisturizer (3 pumps with the recommended jojoba oil) every day, morning and night. I'm finally starting to see some, albeit small, results with the clearing of my acne, but the dryness from BP has gotten to a point where my skin's unbearable. I think I've given this product a fair chance but now I'm done with it. The bottom line is this moisturizer does not moisturize. The best it does is turn my already flakey skin yellow. Also, I tested this moisturizer on my neck and what a mistake that was. My neck broke out in an incredibly itchy, irritated as hell rash that I'm still trying to calm down. So far the acne.org cleanser and BP treatment have worked really well for me, but I recommend saving your money when it comes to this moisturizer. I wish I had.

Pros:

-nice texture

Cons:

-weird smell
-leaves skin taught and flaky after a couple of hours
-absolutely unnecessary product, skin better without it than with it

I don't know what this thing is supposed to do, but it certainly does not moisturize. I follow the regimen, and as a result suffer from pretty dry skin (but my acne went from moderate to nonexistent). When I put this on during the day, I cannot put makeup over it because my skin gets this weird dry texture, so makeup looks disgusting. I always have to remove my makeup, exfoliate, and then moisturize with something else in order to leave the house. I tried to wear this at night, and for a week woke up with dry skin, dry to the point that it was flakey in some areas. I even use the full two pumps, which I think clearly speaks to the fact that this moisturizer is ineffective! Don't waste your money!
