January 30, 2013

Pros:

-Light
-It is absorbed nicely
-Keeps skin from flaking throughout whole day
-Works even when my skin is exposed to freezing temperatures

Cons:

-Stains white clothes
-Sometimes burns upon application (but may just be
my very sensitive skin)
-Expensive

More effective in keeping my face from flaking than Cetaphil and Cerave.

Pros:

- Skin glows in a natural way;
- Skin doesn't feel oily throughout the day;
- yellowish color makes the skin look more uniform;
- Doesn't ball up and is easily spread with BP beneath;
- Skin feels soft and not greasy or pasty;
- Skin doesn't break out even if I apply too much of it.

Cons:

- I can't find any cons!

I have used moisturizers to soften skin from BP treatment for years. I have tried a lot of really expensive brands, and most of them left my skin really oily (i had to pat my skin with a tisse after applying so my face didn't look shiny throughout the day) and this is the first moisturizer EVER that doesn't leave my skin oily, doesn't ball up and doesn't make me break out even if I apply a lot. I found that the yellowish tone of the moisturizer helps in making my skin more even, like it's a very, very light foundation. It helps with the texture of the skin and leaves it incredibly smooth. It's more difficult to apply without the BP underneath (I don't know why, though) but it's a great complement to the regimen and works perfectly well with the treatment and the cleanser.

Pros:

Soothing, light, non-greasy

Cons:

Not moisturizing enough, takes long to dry

The new moisturizer is not moisturizing enough for people with dry, sensitive skin like myself. I use about 6 pumps and still get dry flakes. I imagine it is a perfectly good moisturizer for most people with not so sensitive/dry skin.

Pros:

High Quality Skincare Product
No offensive odor
Plumps Skin
Reduces Fine Lines
No Acne Irritation..so far

Cons:

Pump could let out a little less at a time for spot moisturizing

This product is AS good or BETTER than any High-end product I have ever used. Better than Proactiv, Clinique, Murad, Estee Lauder, DDF, Dermalogica, Dr Brandt, Glytone, Phytomer. Basically all the moisturizers that cost up to 10x more than the Acne.org product. Dan should be praised for his commitment to extraordinary product formulation, at a fair price most all of us can afford. Thank you.

Pros:

Moisturizing/ Aids with flaking
Light Formula
Helps with scarring
Calms skin

Cons:

The fact that those results are only good for an hour or so.

Okay moisturizer. I barely started the regimen and am curious to try the old moisturizer instead of this one.

Pros:

Not oily
moisturizes
smooth skin

Cons:

stings a bit at the beginning

I have very dry skin, but despite what other reviewers experience, this helps get rid of flakiness. I had some stinging when I first started to use this product, but it subsided. I loved the old formula, but it always left my skin shiny and this doesn't. One recommendation I have for other users is if your skin is really flaky apply some jojoba oil at night. This definitely helped me!

Pros:

Smooths and softens skin
Fragrance free

Cons:

Was hoping this product would work for me but unfortunately didnt moisturise my dry/sensitive skin enough and left my skin with that tight feeling all day. Disappointed.

Im sure it works for lots of you but my skin is very sensitive and dry and I need something that moisturises more and doesnt leave my skin feeling tight. Also, I am from the UK and paid a lot to have this shipped over and had to pay customs charges on top.

Pros:

Softens your skin.
Great eye makeup remover.

Cons:

Smells weird, yellow goopy, can't use it during the day on my oily skin because it will look very oily.

Don't have as many good things to say about this than the rest of the regimen products. If I put it on at night, it does soften my face, but my pillows end up with a sticky yellow layer. And I can't use it during the day on my overly oily skin, because then my face will look very very oily all day. I do use it as an eye makeup remover and it works very well, but then again so will most moisturizers.

Pros:

Super cooling
Doesn't smell
very lightweight
invisible after it dries

Cons:

none

The old formula felt watery compared to the new formula, and wasn't as cooling as the new stuff. I even use it for sunburns, its better that aloe vera! This stuff helps for any kind of skin irritation, (itch, burns, redness, etc.) it's amazing. I've never used a more cooling moisturizer in my life. The yellow tint is not noticeable to me on my face either. After it dries, no one can tell i have anything on my face. By far the most important step in the treatment in my opinion.

Pros:

Moisturised my skin effectively

Cons:

Admittedly takes a while to absorb, but i've found that's the case with all half gentle moisturisers

moisturised my skin effectively after flakiness caused by treatment, can't fault it **One thing i will say to anyone buying from the UK as well as a fairly high shipping fee i had to the pay an extra £18 import tax + handling fees before i could get my product, leaving me short of around £70 for the mens kit.. it's lasted long and would definitely reccomend the regimen but it may be just as effective and a lot cheaper if alternative products available here are used**
