Not liking it so far
I have been using the moisturizer and honestly feel it makes my white heads and bumpyness increase so I will be using the regimen without it for a couple of days and see what my results will be

meh...
I tried the trial version of this product. I just wasn't pleased enough to order any more of it. I think it left my skin looking oilier than I would have liked. On the plus side, it did not irritate my skin and seemed to be quite moisturizing. Currently, I'm using CeraVe moisturizing lotion instead and sometimes (at night) mix that with jojoba oil.

A moisturizer that I actually like and continue to use!
I received a free travel kit with my purchase of the AHA+. I wasn't a fan of the BP treatment, but I really like the moisturizer. I have very oily skin, but I know that I still need to moisturize, especially since I'm using a BP treatment (Proactive +) and the AHA+. For me, this moisturizer is the perfect balance between light moisture and too much moisture. It's goes on smooth and my skin absorbs it very quickly. It also has a nice calming effect on my skin. I also like the fact that is doesn't really have a smell. I like to use just the moisturizer in the morning. At night before bed, I mix in a little of the AHA+ with the moisturizer. Works wonders! I'm almost out of the free travel size, so I'll be buying a 16oz bottle of this stuff.

Too greasy and not moisturizing enough

Pros:

really good ingredients
calming on the skin

Cons:

greasy residue, too much jojoba for oily skin
could be a bit more moisturizing

Not a bad moisturizer at all, the ingredients are very nice but I would love it if jojoba oil was a bit lower and sodium hyaluronate a bit higher in the ingredients list. I don't find jojoba oil moisturizing enough and still it leaves quite a greasy residue which is a problem if you have oily skin like me. It absorbs after 15mins but it's still very greasy so I use it just over night and it works ok. I would very much prefer if I could add jojoba oil myself.

Light..

Pros:

Very light, sinks into the skin very well

Cons:

Might not work for very dry skin but try...

A very light moisturiser perfect for oily skin. I love the smell and you will do too if you like the smell of olive oil. However I have overused the BP and both the moisturiser and the jojoba oil don't seem to help my current overly dry skin. Beware! BP is very strong and although I thought I had tried everything and my skin was going to be bullet proof :-) .. Well BP has dried out my skin big time. I am desperate now as I am 36 and I ended up with deep wrinkles around my mouth. Phew!! My fault for over using the BP. I shall continue to use the moisturiser after my skin has calmed down.

Great Moisturizer

Pros:

Dries Fairly Quickly
Moisturizes very well.

Cons:

None.

I've dealt with acne my entire life. There are times when I have it under control and there are times when it flares ups for no apparent reason. I've used the Regimen on and off for years, and I've come to the realize that it's the only way to keep my acne under control. However let me tell you , buy the Cetaphil Soap Bar or the Store brand one from Walgreens or Cvs, it's a much cheaper option for "gentle cleanser" ( 3 bars for $8-$9 bucks and they last a while). For the Benzoyl Peroxide and Moisturizer YOU MUST but it from Acne.org, the 2.5% Benzoyl Peroxide is great and the Moisturizer is awesome. If you get Cystic acne, just go to the dermatologist and get some Cortisone shots, I've gotten them and they work great. Unfortunately it seems like I, like many other people on this site, will have to do this Regimen till who knows when in our lives. As far as my diet, I've tried all possible diets and i'd still get acne, I tried Zarzaparilla for 3 months ( I was making the tea myself with the actual herb), I tried the caveman regimen for 3 months and more stuff, the only thing that works is ocassional use of antibiotics and cortisone shots if Cystic acne flares up and the Regimen. By the way , I only use BP at night , in the morning I still wash my face but instead of BP i use some topical antibiotic that my derm gave me Clyndamacin if I'm not mistaken, but I don't use it all over , i apply to spots where i might something semi active, and once it dries I apply moisturizer. ALWAYS APPLY MOISTURIZER!!!BP will irritate your skin so much and even cause more acne. But i'm telling you , you won't find another MOISTURIZER like this one out there, the closest thing is Neutrogena - Combinatino Skin, but it's too expensive and it doesn't dry as well as the Acne.org Moisturizer.

Does it ´s required job!

Pros:

Smells good, moisturizes the skin
Jojoba oil is the 2nd ingredient

Cons:

none

This moisturizer is great. You will not find this quality moisturizer anywhere else on the market. This moisturizer along with Dan ´s other products is a testimony to why he gets up in the morning and does what he does; help people, make quality products and improve people's lives.

Love it!

Pros:

light, yet moisturizing
absorbs well
anti-inflammatory

Cons:

smelly/yellow if you use too much

This is really the best moisturizer I have ever used. My face gets quite dry using BP, but this moisturizer fixes that! Most moisturizers do not help enough, and they can feel heavy and thick or too thin and irritating. With this moisturizer, I feel like my skin is hydrated and protected and it can still breathe! I don't use as much as Dan recommends, because I use less BP. The anti-inflammatory ingredient is perfect for my sensitive skin. I don't mind the smell, because it works so well for me!

My favorite moisturizer
This is the best facial moisturizer I've ever used. I have very dry skin, so the formula actually works perfectly for me rather than being too greasy. I don't find the smell to be a problem and I love that the base is jojoba oil.

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!!
