Pros:

No harsh ingredients, and it does not react with benzoil peroxide.

Cons:

Does not moisturize at all. I have tried adding up to 10 drops of jojoba oil, but that still does not help. My skin is extremely chaffed, dry and flakes gallore. I am extremely disapointed with this product, I never had these issues with the older moisturizer. I do not recommend this new formula at all. I wish the old formula was still sold.

Do not buy it, it does not moisturize well.

Pros:

light, non-oily, absorbs fast, provides enough moisture, soothing

Cons:

none

I've used the old formula and that usually left me a bit shiny. This newer formula provides just enough moisture while giving me a matte look, I find it sufficient for keeping my skin in good shape even in the winter months, there is no stinging or balling up. My skin is on the oily side and does not flake even from large amounts of BP. If you have oily skin and you don't suffer serious dry flaking skin from BP then you will probably like this new formula. However, I think a richer lotion/cream may be necessary if you are on the dry side and a fan of the older formula, try cetaphil/cerave instead.

Pros:

NOTHING TERRIBLE!

Cons:

Very Thick Cream
Does NOT Absorb quickly, You need to sit there in front of the mirror rubbing your face for like 10 minutes before it all absorbs.
Your face DOES NOT stay moisturized. After 3 hours your face will feel VERY TIGHT and DRY!! Made my face more red, STUNG my face when I applied it (because it has Alpha Hydroxy Acid in the Ingredients!!!) and blemishes more vibrant. Awful.

Ive been using Dan's New Moisturizer for a month now and I just absolutely hate how thick it is over your face, and how it stings my face and takes FOREVER to absorb!! agggh I almost feel like when I see my face in the sunshine it shows off all my acne and imperfections in my skin because theres a huge layer of thick cream over it.

Pros:

Love it! The old moisturizer was creamier but stung, smelled bad, and couldn't go anywhere near my eyes. This glides on and absorbs quickly, I feel the jojoba helps keep my pores open, and my skin feels protected all day. As with the other regimen products, I seem to get by with far less than Dan recommends - 1/2 to 1 pump 2x a day. Also blends beautifully with sunscreen.

Cons:

The pump gets gross, and while it is very good at preventing dry skin if used daily, it isn't very soothing if my face is dry from upping BP or falling asleep without moisturizing.

I'm glad I tried it, and am going to keep using it! It isn't an all-purpose, though - I still keep aloe and Olay beauty fluid on hand for extra moisture and priming (the jojoba makes eye makeup slide right off.)

Pros:

nice consistency

Cons:

The lichochalcone in the AHA burned my face and gave me an allergic reaction: extreme redness in the face, itchy and burning feeling, swelling around the eyes. When I found that the same stuff was in the new moisturizer, I was very dissapointed. now I will have to look elsewhere for a moisturizing product. Bring back the old one please!

New formula causes an allergic reaction (for me at least) please bring back the old formula.

Pros:

matte finish- IF that's what you're looking for

Cons:

-doesnt moisturize well at all
-left a filmy feeling on my face
-takes longer to absorb
-my skin actually felt drier & tight after application
-adding jojoba oil doesnt seem to boost the moisturizing quality at all
-expensive for a product that doesnt do its job

Please bring back the old formula! This was a total waste of money for me. Of all the products i bought in my last recent order, the moisturizer was the one that i desperately needed more of. Just when i thought i had found the best facial moisturizer out there for me, the formulation gets changed and now i am on to another endless search for another brand.

Pros:

It's better than using nothing.

Cons:

No matter how much I put on, my skin feels dry. I really miss the previous moisturizer. This moisturizer feels very thick and heavy compared to the last one. The previous moisturizer was light, felt better than anything I've ever used, and it made my skin both look and feel really nice.

Dan, please go back to the old formula :(

Pros:

+ Leaves no nasty residue or shine
+ Nice consistency
+ If you use 2-3 pumps, gets rid of flakes & dryness
+ No redness/sting

Cons:

- You need to use 2-3 pumps to get benefit
- Takes 5-10 minutes to absorb

I absolutely HATED the old DK moisturizer. It was tacky and nasty and never fully absorbed, leaving a gross shine on my face all day. However, Dan's new moisturizer is AWESOME! The formula is smooth and comfortable to apply and it absorbs fully, leaving no nasty residue or shine. As long as you use a good 2-3 pumps it beats the flakes and dryness. I don't even need to use jojoba with it. Love the new moisturizer, thanks Dan!

Pros:

non-comedogenic
feels light

Cons:

Terrible color - stains shirts, towels, everything.
Dan - as someone who uses Benzoyl Peroxide (and knows its bleaching properties), you should know the embarassment, expense, and annoyance of constantly ruining your clothes and linens. It's awful. I was perfectly happy with the old moisturizer - PLEASE BRING IT BACK

Also, doesn't moisturize as well as the old one.

not worth the expense of new clothes, towels, sheets not worth the added paranoia of staining something else - we're already hyper-aware of bleaching things with the BP - now we have something new to worry about. not worth the embarassment of a yellow ring around the collar of your shirt

Pros:

Goes on easy

Cons:

Does not moisturize well
Leaves skin flaky and dry
Funny yellow tint

Not too big of a fan of this product. I was using Cetaphil cream moisturizer while waiting for Dan's kit. While I liked cleanser and treatment, I think I will switch back to Cetaphil for the moisturizing part. I believe it would have been OK to use it without BP. But while on BP, most people would need more potent moisturizer to take care of dryness.
