Pros:

-Goes on very smoothly
-Doesn't sting
-Very moisturizing

Cons:

-It leaves my forehead and nose shinier than usual.

This is a very good moisturizer. If you have oily skin, I would recommend using it only at night, but otherwise, it is a very good moisturizer that works very well.

Pros:

Goes on matte! Extremely moisturizing and soothing, no stinging.

Cons:

None

My problem with the old one was that it was not moisturizing enough without adding jojoba, and that it was way too greasy with it. Regardless, I used it for years. I'm just happy that there is a non-greasy and more soothing formula now. It's great by itself (I've generally not had to add jojoba), but it stays matte even if I do add jojoba. By far the best moisturizer ever. You've outdone yourself, Dan! Now what to do with my leftover old moisturizer...

Pros:

No stinging or redness, no tackiness or stickiness!!! very mositurizing

Cons:

none

Moisturizing had always been a problem for me, because it made my face slightly red during the day, and at night I HATED how my face would feel sticky against the pillow. This stuff goes on smoothly and does not make my face feel sticky, so I can actually go to sleep soon after putting it on. thank god!!!! and dan. also, dan says use 2 pumps, but 1 was plenty for me.

Pros:

dries quickly with no oiliness
moisturizes extremely well (flakiness completely disappeared)

Cons:

(Who wants to moisturize when you've got acne? .... but ya.. you just got to)

I love love love it. New to acne.org (3 weeks), was having extreme burning with neutrogena on the spot and my skin was one giant flake. I switched to acne.org bp and new moisturizer at the same time, burning with bp COMPLETELY ended, and this moisturizer knocked those flakes off my face by day 3. Skin went from giant scab to not a single flake (even with full make-up), no oiliness after product has absorbed, and so far it doesn't seem to be irritating my acne whatsoever (so a smooth transition into my regimen). Oh ya - spent 58 dollars on my favorite dermalogica moisturizer about a week before starting this one and it did NOTHING for the extreme dryness. This moisturizer, again, had the entire face-scab gone by morning 3.

Pros:

No "tack" like old moisturizer. Does not turn my face red or make my face super shiny like the old moisturizer. Highly moisturizing.

Cons:

None

This stuff is awesome. Only been using it two days so far, but the results are immediate. I am no longer red, shiny or left with a sticky "tacky" feeling on my face all day like the old moisturizer caused. Love the nice matte finish it leaves, and moisturizes just as well, if not better than the old moisturizer. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED...WELL WORTH THE PRICE. YOU WILL BE AMAZED!!

Pros:

-No more stinging
-Not heavy
-Absorbs rather than sits on the skin and absorbs fast
-Does not leave skin feeling or looking oily
-Calms itchy irritated acne
-Makes skin overall more healthy and good looking
-Virtually fragrance free
-Not that expensive

Cons:

Slightly thicker than the older formula
Must use a lot to hydrate completely and to go on correctly

This moisturizer is amazing. It is the best moisturizer I have ever used. I have been struggling to find a moisturizer that I liked the weight of, the hydrating power of, the feel of after going on the skin, the finish of (how oily or matte my skin is after putting it on and after having it on for several hours), the scent of, etc. I like how this moisturizer feels going on. It does not sting or irritate. It just doesn't feel like anything at all going on. It absorbs faster than the old one. It hydrates very well and it actually calms areas that are itchy and irritated. It continues to produce that matte look. No more shine and shimmer on my forehead. It is a great moisturizer that I am definitely going to recommend to everyone.
