Pros:

Matte finish
Soothing

Cons:

Have to use lots of it

I was using the old moisturizer for about a year and was not satisfied with the stinging sensation I got. The fact it made my face look really oily bothered me too. When I switched to the new moisturizer, at first I felt it wasn't moisturizing enough and made my face feel tight. I had a ton of dry skin and flakes so i abandoned it and went back to Cetaphil. Well, a few months later, after reading some of the posts, I decided to give it another try, but this time I reduced the amount of BP (just 1 pump and used a ton of lotion (4 pumps and 10 drops of jojoba oil) at night. In the morning I would gently wash off the lotion and jojoba oil under the shower for no longer than 10 seconds without touching my face. I didn't use any cleanser, just water. After getting out of the shower I would very gently pat dry and then gently apply more lotion (1 pump) without the BP under it. I have been doing it this way for about a month now and the dryness and tightness has just about completely gone away. Also I have been able to keep the acne away. Luckily, 1 pump of BP is enough for me. Since I am using only 1 pump of the lotion in the morning, there is no shine whatsoever. The new lotion is actually very soothing and calming just like Dan says.

Pros:

Love it! The old moisturizer was creamier but stung, smelled bad, and couldn't go anywhere near my eyes. This glides on and absorbs quickly, I feel the jojoba helps keep my pores open, and my skin feels protected all day. As with the other regimen products, I seem to get by with far less than Dan recommends - 1/2 to 1 pump 2x a day. Also blends beautifully with sunscreen.

Cons:

The pump gets gross, and while it is very good at preventing dry skin if used daily, it isn't very soothing if my face is dry from upping BP or falling asleep without moisturizing.

I'm glad I tried it, and am going to keep using it! It isn't an all-purpose, though - I still keep aloe and Olay beauty fluid on hand for extra moisture and priming (the jojoba makes eye makeup slide right off.)

Pros:

Its not greasy when it dries, doesn't make my face greasy (which is a BIG plus cause i have veryyyy oily skin)

Cons:

Doesn't QUITE tackle aALL of the dryness associated with Dan's Regimine. (in other words im still a bit dry in some spots)

This is a great product that doesn't clog my pores and is helping in Dan's regemine to clear my acne. I love how its not greasy (cause i have enough of my own grease to spare :P) So i recomend it :)

Pros:

Moisturizes pretty well, without making my face look greasy. I'm only on day 3 of the regimen, but I don't have any flakes or redness really so it could just be my skin is LESS sensitive then others who gave this product a bad review.

Cons:

I would prefer it to be in a squeeze tube like the BP but no big deal.

Unless you need SPF... I wouldn't use anything besides this or Complex 15 (also light).

Pros:

Calms the skin and reduces redness.

Cons:

By itself, it leaves my skin a little dry.

You need to add a couple drops of jojoba for this moisturizer to agree with dry skin. Too many people are complaining about this moisturizer because they either are used to the old formula or they don't know how to effectively use THIS formula. The old formula had glycerin in it, which acts like a moisturizer. Dan got rid of that ingredient for the new moisturizer (because it caused stinging for some people). Consequently, the new formula has a different feel on your skin. You need to figure out how much jojoba to mix in based on your skin's needs.

Pros:

Moisturize's skin very well, makes skin fell very smooth, and helps with flakes!

Cons:

a little irritating for first few times (my skin is very sensitive) but your skin gets used to it and it feels nice. I still get flaky from time to time but its winter and very dry around here.

This is a great moisturizer! If your using Dan's regimen this is crucial! It really makes all the difference.

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:

- Softer on the skin than the previous moisturizer
- Calming effect
- Feels good when absorbed on skin

Cons:

- Yellow residue can stain white clothing
- Sometimes still stings when putting on

I like this moisturizer much better than the previous one for the many reasons every one else is stating; less irritation, calming, feels good on the skin, etc. Only real drawback is that it leaves a yellow stain around my white collared t shirts where it comes in to contact with my neck. I washed one shirt and it still seems a little of the residue stayed. If there was a way to make it not yellow in color, it would be perfect. Cheers!

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!
