Pros:

Moisturizes well, not oily, cheap!
Plus doesn't sting anymore!!

Cons:

Have to use lots of it (two pumps is a lot!)

I love love LOVE this product. It not only changed the tone of my skin, but my skin has never been so smooth! At first I thought it was not moisturizing enough but after using two pumps of it, my skin was hydrated. Adding jojoba oil will make it even better! I can tell that Dan put a lot of thought and time into this, and it really shows. Great job acne.org!

Pros:

feels smooth and great going on, calming and soothing to skin, extremely moisturising, does not aggravate or cause any breakouts

Cons:

does not eliminate flakiness ENTIRELY but even so, it does help to a certain extent

i love this moisturizer! it is extremely extremely soothing to irritated dry skin after BP treatment. does not cause breakouts even when you slather on a thick layer. tones down redness and irritation - probably the lichocalcone ingredient working. it feels absolutely great going on, very calming. buy it!

Pros:

Very moisturizing, good price.

This works very well! It does cause my skin to appear oily but it's actually less oily then before the regimen. Even though it makes me a little oily, the oil didn't cause any acne when I used this as part of the regimen. And the regimen completely got rid of my acne.

Pros:

-Feels good when put on skin
-The shipping was quick like always :-)
-May have taken away a little of the red in the huge zits it caused

Cons:

-Broke me out under my eyes within two days (HUGE lumps, right before an interview to start my career)
-Still left me incredibly oily at the end of day or after being outside in any type of heat
-Didn't moisturize as well as the old one I feel
-Incredibly flaky after washing now, and throughout the day (even after using 2 pumps, and more when needed)

I was so excited to get this product, because I thought it would keep me less oily. However, it did not work as hoped. Instead, it may have made the oily-ness worse. I know it made my face worse, as I am peeling like crazy AND have 3 huge lumps that I have never (even before the regimen) had in my life. This has all happened even though I have been on the regimen with all acne.org products for about a year without the flaky side-effects and huge zits. This has disappointed me so badly that I am stopping the regimen all together. It had worked for a few months incredibly, but now I feel it is doing far more damage than good. I am sick of slathering my face with this BP and not feeling like I can do anything without causing an intense break out. I am sick of letting acne take over my life. Instead, I am simply going to wash my face occasionally with Purpose cleanser and hope it works itself out soon. Nobody in my family had acne so maybe it was just a quick phase. I am a 22 year old male by the way if anyone is wondering. As happy as I was to get this product, I am a million times more upset with the results. Prior to using it, I had been almost 100% clear. To test this product, I did nothing but stuff at home for about a week to weed out any other variables. The only thing I changed was this moisturizer from the old one. Nothing else changed. I'm left with huge cyst like bumps under my eye that might heal by Christmas (it's September now). Can't wait for my interview, now that it looks like I got punched in the eye and bit by something large three times. Incredibly bummed and discouraged. Maybe this is just a sign telling me I'm better off without anything on my face...

Pros:

-Moisturizes very well, sans the greasy/filmy feeling.
- Extremely absorbent. i feel like it soaks right into my skin after about 10 minutes.
-When used daily in the morning, it allows my sensitive skin to tolerate AHA almost every evening after bp

Cons:

N/A- I love this product so far.

This is a serious, daily surge of moisture for the skin. I don't know if it's the jojoba oil or what--- but some ingredient in there is keeping me from looking like an oil slick, while somehow keeping my skin supple and moist thruout the entire day. I'm thrilled.

Pros:

Very moisturizing, incredibly soothing, pleasant smell, no watery/oily finish

Cons:

A little thicker, which really is a Pro for me

This new moisturizer may be a little less moisturizing than the last, but if used with two full pumps, as Dan suggested, works great. The previous moisturizer left me red, oily(enough that the excess was blotted off by me using a brown paper towel(which works well)), sticky, and even felt a little irritated. This New Moisturizer does none of the above. It does not feel like there is any product, either drying BP or oily moisturizer, on my face whatsoever. I must stress the calming aspect, which makes my skin not only look and keep clear, but healthy and radiant. I cannot recommend this enough. It makes my skin calm and really moisturized, not secretly dry and flaky under a film of red grease. In my opinion, the broken leg of the Regimen used to be the third step. This new product, I consider, is Dan's masterpiece. Thank you Dan

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.
