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:

Fragrance free, inexpensive, does not cause breakouts!!!!

Cons:

Yellow color

At 40 years old I started having severe cystic breakouts along my jawline, the side of my cheeks and occasionally around my mouth. After googling 'acne' a million times trying to find answers, I clicked on this site that kept coming up and started reading. I was skeptical, but had nothing to lose. If I had before and after photos to show I would! This has been a miracle really, I am so grateful to Dan. I nave never written a review on anything, but I feel this is so important! The regimen works!

Pros:

Unscented.
Very gentle, suitable for sensitive skin.
Less chemicals than many other brands of moisturizers.
No parabens.

Cons:

TRIETHANOLAMINE

The moisturizer lives up to its purpose as a calming lotion. It is very very gentle. It feels nice to put on and a good base if you want to add more oils to it. However, it contains TRIETHANOLAMINE! It is also called TEA. It is an ingredient in many drugstore and chemical-laden products. Please read up on TEA. I have doubts about using it two pumpfuls every time. Skin does absorb substances into our body. This lotion is a 'continuous use' application as opposed to 'rinse off'. A better substitute to triethanolamine would be good.

Pros:

Light and quick to absorb
Soothes irritated/broken out skin and reduces redness.
Works quickly on very dry skin
Excellent under makeup
Doesn't leave a greasy film or any kind of residue
Excellent value

Cons:

No SPF sun protection
The yellow color can leave stains on white towels if you have extra on your hands and you wipe them (rinse your hands if the moisturizer hasn't absorbed).

I wish I'd tried this moisturizer sooner! I've tried almost everything out there and I've spent hours reading the labels of moisturizers in the drugstore. This is the best moisturizer that I've ever tried, and it's also the best value. This moisturizer is about half the price of anything comparable in the drug store, even when factoring in the shipping. The only downside is that I've had to find a good sunscreen that isn't too smelly and doesn't irritate my skin. I feel like this is a small price to pay for such a fantastic moisturizer. Thank you Dan!!

Pros:

light texture

Cons:

does not moisturize skin enough
makes your face shinny and flaky
takes forever to absorb
leaves yellow stain
strange smell.

I bought the whole set of the regime incl a bottle of jojoba oil. As instructed, I apply 2 full pumps for the whole face with few drops of jojoba oil. After 2 weeks of using, my cheek was always in a very dry condition with flakiness and redness, especially the under eyes area (where i never had acne). My forehead has never had acne and the skin was really smooth with no marks there. So I only used this moisturizer without treatment and my forehead became very flaky and dry. I guess 2 weeks might not be long enough to see the result of acne controlling function of the regime but it should be there where your skin gets adapted to the new moisturizer. Then I decided to stop using this moisturizer for a couple of days. No redness and flakiness no more! My cheek has become normal again and my forehead has gone back to its original smoothy condition. Now I'm still using the cleanser, treatment with jojoba oil but will never touch moisturizer! Not recommended.

Pros:

This is a very good moisturizer, it does the job right and effectively, especially when used with the cleanser and treatment from acne.org

Cons:

This can only stop flakes completely if used with jojoba oil. Without it, some flakes can remain visible. Also, not related to the moisturizer itself, the shipping from acne.org had for some reason been taking up to three weeks, so buy this in advance before running out.

Good. Needs jojoba oil.

Pros:

This moisturizer is BY FAR the best on the market. It does everything it says it will do and more. I love the entire acne.org system as when its all used together I get virtually no dry flaky spots and my make up goes on ultra smooth. The first time my acne has slowed down for a record amount of time. I don't get as oily anymore because of this moisturizer. I didn't realize how much your moisturizer made a difference period. Its WONDERFUL!!!! I have tried Obagi, Skinceuticals and everything el

Cons:

ZERO

Try it, its the best!

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.
