Pros:

it is an ok moisturiser if you're not using BP!!!

Cons:

not moisturising enough!!
Still makes my face shine
Need to use LOADS which takes long to sink in

Was using a different moisturiser, been on the regimen for 2 month, never had any flaky skin, and then swapped to this and now my skin feels horrible and flaky!!

Pros:

VERY lightweight - like liquid silk
Absorbs Quickly
Doesn't cause breakouts
It has regulatory ingredients which have helped curve my oil production.

Cons:

NO SPF(remember skin needs sun protection throughout ALL seasons)
Gives moisture but KEEPING that moisture throughout the day is an issue
A bit of a greasy look in the daytime

The bottom line is that is the lotion for those that are seeking: a NIGHT lotion( it doesn't contain ANY sun protection) that doesn't feel heavy on the skin, is gentle, and provides moderate moisture. Best for 3 out of 4 seasons. In winter it is wise to move on to a petrolatum based product.

Pros:

easy to absorb
light but very moisturizing
makes my skin healthy and supple

Cons:

none

I purchased the entire regimen last year and two months after using it, my acne never came back! It was such a miracle that I did not need to keep using the regimen. I was not impressed by this moisturizer at that time so I returned to my old, expensive moisturizer. Recently, my old moisturizer starts drying me out so I decided to use this moisturizer (I still left some when I stopped using the regimen last year) under my regular creme to add extra moisture. I'm so glad I did!!! The moisturizer is very light and easy to absorb (2 pump is too much for me so I use 1 pump each time, maybe that's why it's much easier to sink in my skin than before). I also gently massage until it's fully absorbed. OMG!!! It makes my skin supple and glow naturally without leaving any yellow stain or a greasy feeling! I love how it works on my skin and I'll continue purchasing this product.

Pros:

Lightweight
Fast-absorbing

Cons:

Yellow-ish/brownish stain residue (biggest problem)

Need to reapply multiple times, not very moisturizing

I really have a love and hate relationship with this product. I love how lightweight it is and how it feels like water on my skin once absorbed (it absorbs pretty fast), but I absolutely HATE how my skin looks afterwards. The yellow/brown stain is horrible, and while my skin glows from using the regimen cleanser and treatment and from the after effects of AHA used the night before, the moisturizer covers it all up with the staining (I'm following the regimen to the letter). My sincere wish is to see this product work. I'd like to see the absence of the staining and a little more moisturizing power. I honestly think that the product is amazing in terms of price and the amount that we receive. No product on the market shelves have please me so far because they are too thick or too small in quantity (thus expensive). I really hope Dan re-develops this product! The Regimen has saved me and I can never go back to any other acne cure again, I just wish that this moisturizer can be re-developed so that I can continue to support Dan's products.

Pros:

Moisturizes well
Easy application
Doesn't break skin out
Fairly lightweight

Cons:

Stings a bit in the beginning
Takes a while to absorb (b/c your putting a lot on your face
Greasy, therefore sticky feeling

This moisturizer is a good moisturizer for acne but I think it could be a little bit better! It definitely moisturizes and it's very easy to apply. However, the biggest con, in my opinion, is the greasiness that comes with the it. No matter how long you leave it to dry on your face, my face is consistently greasy and sticky and it's probably (I'm pretty sure) because of the jojoba oil. Taking a while to absorb isn't a HUGE deal because if you think about it, you're putting 1-2 pumps and that's a lot of moisturizer; you can't really complain about that. This slight stinging is manageable b/c it's temporary but the greasiness is quite bothersome. But overall it's not a bad moisturizer! I would, however, consider looking into other moisturizers to supplant.

Pros:

Doesn't break me out.
Dries okay fast
I'm very allergic to everything (perfume, parabens etc.) but not this!

Cons:

leaves my skin looking yellow-ish (sometimes)
DOESN'T MOISTURIZE MY SKIN ENOUGH!!
Didn't even help with JOJOBA-oil.. Dissapointing, but it was better then having no moisturizer at all or one that broke my skin out..

No go for me but I bet it works for some.. or maybe I just use to much benzoyl peroxide.. I'm cutting down but it still doesn't work as well as Alba's with green tea and aloe..

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:

Moisturizes well
Very light feel when applying
soothing
does not;clog pores at all
Makes my skin look great

Cons:

None

This is the only moisturizer that i have actually enjoyed having on my face. Every other one i have tried has made me feel clogged and greasy. This does not make me feel like that at all, it actually feels good to have on my face. It could be a little more moisturizing for some people but for my skin it is perfect.
