Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone

This product didn't work for me at all. It didn't moisturize and made the dry skin sting. I kept using more and more hoping it would work better, but all that did was hide the skin flakiness. Whenever I ate, the skin around my mouth would start flaking due to the skin movement, which was embarrassing. I had to start bringing another moisturizer to work with me to put around my mouth after lunch. After a couple months I started getting wrinkles on my forehead and the corners of my mouth, and that's when I decided to quit using it. I went back to the old moisturizer I used before I started the regimen, Nivea For Men Sensitive Lotion, and my face gradually went back to normal (no flakiness or wrinkles). The Nivea lotion tends to clump up because of the benzoyl peroxide if I'm not careful, but at least it works. I'm still looking for a better moisturizer to use. I didn't realize until now that I had been using a new formula of the Acne.org moisturizer. Wish I'd been able to try the old one!

I have to say I prefer the old moisturizer. The old one tended to leave the skin shiny and the new one doesn't, but the new one just doesn't work as well. I have had to switch to Cetaphil for my forehead and neck because those areas were much too dry with the new moisturizer.

I loved the old formulation of the moisturizer, but absolutely cannot use this one. I seem to have developed a sensitivity to the licorice root, as I can't use the AHA now, either. I know a lot of people love this stuff, but it sounds like there are a number of us who can't use it. Please, please, please give us the option of purchasing the old moisturizer, too! There is just nothing else on the market that is so gentle and moisturizing.

I love, love, love this product. I was using Cetaphil Moisturizer and then switched to this one. In comparison, it is so much better! It's very lightweight, 98% effective for controlling dryness and doesn't cause my skin to break out in any area. Cetaphil was too thick on my face and hard to absorb. I use this moisturizer in the am and Dan's AHA at night. I highly recommend this product!

The only way you will know if it works for you is to try it. Everybody's skin is different. Not every product will work for everyone. Just because something is non-comedogenic doesn't mean it will not clog you. Also, I have always had trouble with clogging whenever I use Jojoba oil on my skin.

First, I would like to say that I was in love with the old moisturizer and the whole system. My acne was finally under control. This has not been the case since I placed another order and got the new moisturizer. My acne is no longer under control and my face is very irritated. I do not know what I am going to do.

My skin was extremely dry and flaky when I first tried this moisturizer. This product made my dry skin worse and I had to use more than a few applications. I then tried the recommended Olay Classic SPF moisturizer for a month (morning and night). It worked to repair my broken and dry skin while on the regimen, but I started to break out from it. I went back to using the regimen moisturizer and now I absolutely love it. It keeps my skin hydrated without any flakes. I must mention that I understand the negative reviews on this product because I have experienced that other side. For me, this moisturizer worked once my skin completely repaired itself from being dry. I hope this product continues to stay, because it is extremely hard to find a moisturizer that I know won't 100% break me out. I appreciate the care and ingredients that went into making this product (including the cleanser, which is gentle and awesome).

This product has received a lot of flak lately, but my experience has been the opposite of what most people report. I have naturally dry skin, and this is the only moisturizer I've tried that can adequately prevent my skin from flaking. Additionally, it does NOT require a copious amount to work. I typically only use 1-2 pumps in the morning and 2-3 pumps at night, and this works quite well for me. In terms of moisturizing quality, it is top notch. Now, for the negatives: I hear a lot of people praise its "matte finish", yet this has not been my experience at all. It leaves my skin VERY shiny and oily. However, this is easily solved with a simple pat-down with a tissue before I leave for the day. Additionally, the "dries transparent" claim has not been true for me. There is a noticeable yellow tinge to my skin, and especially my eyebrows after applying this product. When I pat down with a tissue and then examine the tissue (even if I applied the moisturizer an hour or so earlier) the tissue is very yellow in color. However, all-in-all, the shiny finish is most likely due to the jojoba oil and the yellow tint is obviously due to the licorice root extract. I'm willing to bet that the jojoba oil is what combats my flaking so well, and the licorice root extract has shown in studies to be quite beneficial. So, in my opinion, the positive qualities of this product far outweigh the negatives.

It took some time to get used to. I'll start off by saying that I took some time to get used to benzyol peroxide, it used to make me face itch. But, now I can put it on with no problem. However, when I first used this moisturizer after applying benzoyl peroxide, my face felt like it was burning. I guess it took some time to get use to it, because now, it occasionally burns a tiny bit in some areas. I tried a lot of different moisturizers and I can say that this works very well for me. It doesn't leave my skin too oily or dry. The scent isn't too pleasing, but I'm not picky about the scent.

I didn't even notice I had this until I used it and it had a yellow tint. Pretty thick and gross, it's hard to spread and it doesn't absorb as well as the other formula. This legit causes new acne and there's no way I'm going to let that happen. The last one was awesome and light and perfect, and I'm currently using the remainder of it, but I don't know what I will use after that. I'll probably quit buying moisturizer from acne.org altogether. There was nothing wrong with the other moisturizer and everyone mostly seemed to like it and liked it. Really disappointed in it.
