Pros:

Lichocalcone is amazing, absorbs quite well, is not very oily or greasy on skin, and overall feels good.

Cons:

Doesn't moisturize AT ALL.

I love everything about this moisturizer except one thing: IT DOESN"T MOISTURIZE!! What am I supposed to do with a moisturizer that does nothing for flakes, tight or dry skin?! I am extremely gentle on my face, use AHA regularly, and apply this moisturizer twice a day. 4 pumps with 6 drops of jojoba oil!! My skin is still unbelievably flaky and dry. I only use 1 pump of benzoyl peroxide and wash my skin gently for 10 seconds with Dan's cleanser.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Red Skin, Extremely Flaky (in the winter), Balms with the treatment,

I never used the old formula but from the reviews, it seems much better, especially because it wasn't always yellow! The yellow makes my face a different color from my neck. It moisturizes for about half the day and then like clockwork, I start flaking like crazy. Literally every night. I've added jojoba oil but that just makes my face shiny. I am flaky to the point that I worry about applying the benzoyl peroxide because it could make me drier! THIS SYSTEM NEEDS A NEW MOISTURIZER. If anyone can suggest a replacement moisturizer, that'd b. great/

Pros:

Really calming and soothing
Even skin tone
No redness

Cons:

Not moisturizing
Flakes and skin shedding increased
Super expensive

I actually feel kinda bad. I know Dan was faithful in this stuff working. But it doesn't. Maybe us dry-skinned folks are dependent on glycerin after all. I didn't even use the full amount of this because I'm cheap, but even a single pump of this under my olay SPF moisturizer in the day made me flake like no tomorrow, it's like my skin shed extra dead skin, to the point it almost felt encased in a shell of dead skin. My skin was even and soothed alright, just shedding like facial dandruff. Always shedding. A waste of a good amount of money. Now I have no idea what I'm going to do with the rest =P

Cons:

Really don't like the new moisturizer formula. It has caused my skin to start flaking off and no matter the amount, my skin looks awful!

Loved the old formula! Will still use the cleanser and treatment, but will have to find a new moisturizer ASAP unless Dan come's back with the old formula.

Pros:

goes on smoothly, easily, absorbs quickly

Cons:

allergic reaction to the new formula. Eyes swollen and skins around eyes red, itchy, puffy (reaction lasts for 3 days), waited til gone then tried again (with the same swollen reaction)

I've been using Dan's program for 5 years now, long before he even had his own products. I loved all of the products including the old formula. It cleared my skin and I've been clear for 5 years. With the new moisturizer I have horrible, itchy eyes, swollen around the eyes even though I've been extremly careful about not getting it near my eyes. I'd go back to the old formula if I could. Please bring back the old formula. (AHA also gave the same eye reaction and the ingredient that was in the AHA and the new moisturizer is the licorice root... could that be the only problem in the new formula?)

Pros:

NONE

Cons:

This moisturizer does not work at all.. Does not get rid of flakes and it takes forever to absorb..

DON'T BUY THIS IT DOES NOT WORK. I USE ALL OF DANS PRODUCTS, but this was an utter let down. I hope he brings back the old formula or does something else but this is a terrible product

Pros:

Absorbs well, doesn't smell, keep my skin from being oily

Cons:

NONE

I was disappointed to see so many of you are having problems with the moisturizer. This is the first time I have placed a equal amount of moisturizer on my skin as BP. I really enjoy being able to use moisturizer with my skin routine instead of walking around red and flaky with big pimples all over.

Pros:

Cons:

Does not Moisturize

I have been on Dan's system for six months and I love it. It has all but eliminated my acne. However, I got this new formula moisturizer a week ago and it is terrible. It caused my face to feel tight and then after a few days flakes started to appear. I tried upping the dose and using it three to four times a day. Finally I just gave up and used my travel size Original Formula, and it immediately took care of my flakes. I will continue to buy Dan's BP and cleanser, but I will be buying a new moisturizer today. Dan, e-mail me when you bring back the original formula.

Pros:

Absorbs pretty well, calms skin quite well.

Cons:

Flaking-control right around 0%, clumps up a bit.

It's decent, but can't handle winter flakes. Good for non-regimen users.
