Pros:

-No more stinging
-Not heavy
-Absorbs rather than sits on the skin and absorbs fast
-Does not leave skin feeling or looking oily
-Calms itchy irritated acne
-Makes skin overall more healthy and good looking
-Virtually fragrance free
-Not that expensive

Cons:

Slightly thicker than the older formula
Must use a lot to hydrate completely and to go on correctly

This moisturizer is amazing. It is the best moisturizer I have ever used. I have been struggling to find a moisturizer that I liked the weight of, the hydrating power of, the feel of after going on the skin, the finish of (how oily or matte my skin is after putting it on and after having it on for several hours), the scent of, etc. I like how this moisturizer feels going on. It does not sting or irritate. It just doesn't feel like anything at all going on. It absorbs faster than the old one. It hydrates very well and it actually calms areas that are itchy and irritated. It continues to produce that matte look. No more shine and shimmer on my forehead. It is a great moisturizer that I am definitely going to recommend to everyone.

Pros:

Not greasy
Absorbs completely
Has a cooling effect
Large quantity available
No smell

Cons:

None.

I really like this moisturizer. It's fast absorbing and really moistuizes my skin completely. I like to use it with a joboba oil but if I end up using too much joboba oil and my face still looks oily after a few mintues, I just use a touch more of this moisturizer and it takes care of the greasy look that using too much joboba creates. It absorbs quickly. I use a lot of this stuff and have noticed even if I put "too much" on, it absorbs completely within a minute or two. I love that it comes in a large quantity, which I haven't found with any other moisturizer. I won't buy anything else now! Big fan!

Pros:

-Goes on very smoothly
-Doesn't sting
-Very moisturizing

Cons:

-It leaves my forehead and nose shinier than usual.

This is a very good moisturizer. If you have oily skin, I would recommend using it only at night, but otherwise, it is a very good moisturizer that works very well.

Pros:

No "tack" like old moisturizer. Does not turn my face red or make my face super shiny like the old moisturizer. Highly moisturizing.

Cons:

None

This stuff is awesome. Only been using it two days so far, but the results are immediate. I am no longer red, shiny or left with a sticky "tacky" feeling on my face all day like the old moisturizer caused. Love the nice matte finish it leaves, and moisturizes just as well, if not better than the old moisturizer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...WELL WORTH THE PRICE. YOU WILL BE AMAZED!!

Pros:

Moisturizes very well
Takes care of flakes
Doesn't need added jojoba
Very light
Easy to apply and absorbs well

Cons:

Smells really funky when applying
Leaves me kind of oily/greasy looking
Yellow tint

Overall, I love it. Best moisturizer I have used, and I've used many. The yellow tint and smell are the only real downsides. It makes me a little greasy looking but not bad at all and better than most moisturizers. Gets rid of ALL my dryness. I only use jojoba at night for extra moisturizer and it is perfect without it as well. With jojoba be prepared to be very shiny because it already has some jojoba in it. Definitely will be using this from now on. It is awesome.

Pros:

provides non-greasy, soothing moisture...absorbs well...matte finish...non-comedogenic..cost-effective...

Cons:

none that I can see...

I've been using the entire acne.org line for about a month now, and I adore everything I've tried. I never used the original version of the moisturizer, but I'm quite amazed at the "bad press" the current one is getting. This, in conjunction with the bp, cleanser, aha and jojoba keeps the oil at bay and the new blemishes to a minimum. Great products for my adult/hormonal breakouts.

Pros:

Does not burn or sting my face.

Does not make my face red and painful.

Moisturizes wonderfully without leaving a greasy shine.

Not scented.

No colouring added.

Easy to apply.

Does not leave a weird texture or film over my skin.

None.

Very very pleased with this new formulation. It is wonderful to have the moisturizing power without the grease. I've been on the Regimen for a year now, so I have virtually no active acne on my face. This is a great moisturizer for Regimen users.

Great formula, gives yellow tint
It has great non comedogenic ingredients, also it's fragrance free! YAY! I've been searching for a better moisturizer and couldn't find one, they all have the same cheap ingredients, even expensive ones. You can tell the acne.org moisturizer is formulated for acne prone skin, unlike others; I really don't understand why fragrance is used in moisturizers anyway, especially ones formulated for sensitive skin. The only downside is that it gives my skin a yellow tint so that after I use it in the morning I can clearly see a huge difference in color between my face and my neck. EDIT: changed to 5 stars, I figured you could use a different moisturizer in the morning if the yellow tint is a problem, and keep to this one in the evening.
