-BURNS

This moisturizer really ruins my day. I know when ever I put it on my face will be red and irritated for the rest of the day. It burns really bad and leaves my face hurting for a LONG time. I don't know if I am doing something wrong but I am following the directions to the letter. My face is covered with red spots already I don't need to increase the redness anymore =/

Pros:

-Almost no shine after applying
-Less stinging than old formula

Cons:

-Doesn't moisturize very well
-Doesn't help with flakiness AT ALL
-Leaves a thicker feel on the skin than old formula
-More expensive than old formula
-Stinks a bit

I absolutely loved the old formula, so I had high hopes for this new one. I figured it could only get better, but boy was I wrong. I don't care for this much at all. I have a lot of trouble with flakiness, and the old formula almost completely controlled my flakes, but this new formula does almost nothing for them. I can only hope that Dan brings back the old moisturizer in a less expensive form than the 2oz bottles.

Pros:

The only good thing about it is it goes on light and absorbs well with Benzoyl Peroxide.

Cons:

It does not moisturize. I have been using the regimen for several years now with no problems at all, but this moisturizer has really messed up my skin. It does not moisturize well at all, my skin is extremely dry and flaky. I have experienced many breakouts and I am SO FED UP RIGHT NOW that this product was changed. I have not changed anything else other then this moisturizer in the regimen so I know it is the culprit.

Please bring back the Old formula moisturizer, I know it is still sold in 2 ounce bottles but that is not cost effective. Now I have to order 8 of those at $5 A piece for a grand total of $40 for one months supply of moisturizer. Please offer both products Dan in the same economical large bottles. PLEASE! Nothing else is working well.

Pros:

light, nongreasy, doesn't add shine, absorbs well, doesn't make me break out.

Cons:

None

This moisturizer is comfortable on my skin and doesn't have a greasy feel or shiny look. I use it under make up and it looks fine. I like how moisturized my skin is without looking greasy.

Pros:

sorry.....can't really think of any. i tried, really i tried.

Cons:

*i still experience a slight sting...anyone else??
*i use 2 full pumps and i have flaky skin a few hours later [that didn't happen with the old formula]
*takes FOREVER to absorb into the skin. which is really a pain when i'm in a hurry.
*cost more $$ and i don't like this formula as much
*feels gloppy on my face

BRING BACK THE OLD MOISTURIZER! It was cheaper, was better at moisturizing, felt better on my skin. I really miss the old moisturizer. I wish Dan sold/offered both so people could choose what they wanted. Why only one choice? why not both? new moisturizer: doesn't live up to all the "hype".

Pros:

smooth, not irritating, doesn't shine, stick, not oily

Cons:

doesn't moisturize enough, you have to use a lot

I'm couple of weeks into Dan's regimen and it has been good so far. I do really like this moisturizer because it doesn't irritate or cause break out, but it doesn't moisturize enough when your using high dosage of BP. You have to use jojoba oil with this or I use conjunction with AHA+ gel which I find it to be very very much moisturizing.

Pros:

Light, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly. Evens skin tone. No stinging after BP application.

Cons:

Initial increase in flakiness - may require reapplication during the day.

I switched to this product after using Dan's previous moisturizer with the Regime. I have found this moisturizer to be a vast improvement over the last moisturizer for several reasons. It absorbs easily and quickly into my skin without leaving any greasy-residue. I have also noticed fewer pimples since using this moisturizer and I think it may be due to decreased irritation - this formula seems more gentle. It took my skin a while to get used to the transition and I experienced increased flakiness for a few weeks however that has completely diminished. When I do get pimples, this moisturizer seems to quickly calm them and reduce the redness and inflammation. I would recommend that you try this product along with the regime, I have never found a better moisturizer, acne.org or not!

Pros:

light consistency
absorbs well
feels nice
calms skin
(I actually like the smell of licochalcone)

Cons:

sometimes needs 2 applications throughout the day to moisturize

I was hesitant to switch over from the first moisturizer but said ah well screw it this guy knows what he is doing! I like this moisturizer better than the first one because it gets rid of the tiny redness that the benzoyl peroxide does to my face! I also like the smell better than the first moisturizer.
