Pros:

None

Cons:

Takes forever for skin to absorb
Often skin remained dry after multiple applications
Allergic Reaction

I would not recommend this product. Caused an allergic reaction, and it didn't absorb into the skin. After application I just felt as though there was a film over my skin; very heavy. Yet, I would still have dry skin...even after adding Jojoba Oil.

Does not moisturize enough
Leaves skin flaky

I like the previous formula much better. Please bring back your old formula and allow us to have an option.

Pros:

Helps reduce redness. That's about it.

Cons:

Does not moisturize.
Doesn't help with flakiness.

The old formula I could apply twice a day, once in the morning and once at night and I'd be fine without any flakiness or dryness. This new one doesn't moisturize. My skin is dry in less then an hour after application with jojoba oil. I moisturize 3+ a day with this and it is still not enough. Thought I finally had a system that worked and now it's ruined.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Doesn't moisturize effectively; leaves skin feeling sticky and uncomfortable, and flaky. With prolongued use, skin takes on a yellow tinge, especially when you use as much as you're directed to (initially 2 pumps, later Dan's update stated to 'just use more' if it wasn't working). Stains clothing and fabrics. Smells bad. It's yellow.

It's 2013 and I still miss Dan's old moisturizer. It was light, moisturizing, and left your skin feeling refreshed and radiant. It was undeniably a better moisturizer; the ratings speak for themselves. I got tired of the uncomfortable feeling the new moisturizer leaves you with, and switched to Neutrogena's oil-free moisturizer for sensitive skin. It's not even close to Dan's old moisturizer, but still way better than the terrible new moisturizer by acne.org.

Pros:

Tasted kind of good if I got a little on my lips

Cons:

Did not moisturize at all
Left face looking shiny
Made face sting
Started getting wrinkles

This product didn't work for me at all. It didn't moisturize and made the dry skin sting. I kept using more and more hoping it would work better, but all that did was hide the skin flakiness. Whenever I ate, the skin around my mouth would start flaking due to the skin movement, which was embarrassing. I had to start bringing another moisturizer to work with me to put around my mouth after lunch. After a couple months I started getting wrinkles on my forehead and the corners of my mouth, and that's when I decided to quit using it. I went back to the old moisturizer I used before I started the regimen, Nivea For Men Sensitive Lotion, and my face gradually went back to normal (no flakiness or wrinkles). The Nivea lotion tends to clump up because of the benzoyl peroxide if I'm not careful, but at least it works. I'm still looking for a better moisturizer to use. I didn't realize until now that I had been using a new formula of the Acne.org moisturizer. Wish I'd been able to try the old one!

I absolutely loved the old moisturizer. I had a stock pile of it and just reorder some more only to find out it's not the same. I REALLY hope they bring back the old stuff. The old formula was super light and gentle, calming, and had a nice smell. It was one of the only moisturizers I had ever found to work on my very sensitive skin without giving me a rash or making me breakout. The new stuff makes me itch, doesn't smell the best, feels like there is a residue on your skin, and has a odd yellow color that other people seem to thinks stains clothing (I haven't noticed this, but have only used the new stuff a few times). PLEASE, PLEASE, BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA!!!

Pros:

NONE!!!

Cons:

PLEASE BRING THE OLD FORMULA BACK!! i HAVEN'T HAD CLEAR SKIN SINCE YOU HAD THE ORIGINAL MOISTURIZER. THIS MOISTURIZER IS THE WORST AND I CANT FIND ANY OTHER MOISTURIZER SUITABLE FOR MY SKIN WHILE ON THE REGIME SO, MY ACNE GETS WORST AND WORST.

While on the original regime, i had clear skin. I haven't achieved clear skin or any success while on the new regime.

Pros:

None

Cons:

Does not moisturize
Flakiness/Dryness is unbearable
Shiny skin after application

I have been on the Acne.org regimen for 5 years. Dan's new formula is a turn for the worse. It does not moisturize and made my skin flaky very quickly after starting to use it. I stuck it out for a month or so to see if the flakiness subsided but it did not. I even tried putting a lot more moisturizer on than normal and that did not help. One thing I noticed while using this is that my skin feels extremely dry and tight after getting out of the shower. After switching back to Dan's original moisturizer formula for only a few days my skin feels very moisturized and flakiness has subsided and I no longer feel the dryness/tightness after showering. I cannot recommend this moisturizer at all and I hope Dan brings back the old formula or at least something comparable since I will not be buying the new formula again.

Pros:

I liked the smell
I loved the way it felt on my skin
I loved the yellow tint
It made my skin soft and dewy

Cons:

It broke me out: (
It seems as though it works well for others, but can really break some people out. Alas, I am one of them...
I began to get clogging and cyst like pimples

The only way you will know if it works for you is to try it. Everybody's skin is different. Not every product will work for everyone. Just because something is non-comedogenic doesn't mean it will not clog you. Also, I have always had trouble with clogging whenever I use Jojoba oil on my skin.
