Pros:

This is a very good moisturizer, it does the job right and effectively, especially when used with the cleanser and treatment from acne.org

Cons:

This can only stop flakes completely if used with jojoba oil. Without it, some flakes can remain visible. Also, not related to the moisturizer itself, the shipping from acne.org had for some reason been taking up to three weeks, so buy this in advance before running out.

Good. Needs jojoba oil.

Acne and Stinging Why?

I just bought the acne.org lotion for the first time and I got the biggest bottle.  Up until recently I was afraid to add a separate moisturizer into my regimine.  I have been very happy with the BP and the AHA from acne.org.  Since adding the lotion I've started breaking out and like others have mentioned it is causing stinging.  I never used the old formulation but I'm back to using no moisturizer.

Dark yellow formula was the best

I have been using these products for 10 years now and they are fabulous. Honestly nothing has compared. However the moisture seems to have got lighter and lighter over the years. The newest version is now fully white. I’m not keen on it, it feels clammy and I have started to breakout, which maybe be hormonal, but to be honest they look more like irritation spots, as they are more rash like. The yellow moisturiser went on like butter and gave my skin a subtle glow, which I rather liked. I agree with some of the others here. Why fix something that was not broken in the first place? Anyway I will continue to use the current one and just hope my face adjusts. However I do hope they eventually decide to bring the old formula back.

Don't like the change

I really loved this lotion until the ingredient change this year. The prior version was amazing and I would have given it a 5/5, however the new version does not do nearly as good of a job moisturizing. Even after putting on several layers of the new version, my skin still feels dry. I really hope it goes back to the previous ingredients, as the yellow coloration didn't bother me in the slightest.

pros and cons

Before I write my review I just wanted to say I am not using this along with the regimen. So it did provide enough moisture for my skin and my skin felt soft and supple. However, I do believe it increased my acne slightly because my skin got SO OILY. And the application of this product isn't the best. It feels like water and doesn't soak in for a few minutes. But I must say I like the softness of my skin when I was using it and also I think the licorice root extract in it really works because when I put it on I definitely got a cooling sensation. Overall I don't think this moisturizer is horrible but I also think there are many out there that are better. People who like to use facial oils would probably like this moisturizer and it would do well on their skin.

The only moisturizer I want to use on my face! Just had to reorder it.
Other moisturizers feel waxy, heavy, and leave a solid thick layer on top of my skin making my face feel hot in the summer. This one absorbs into the skin, feels light and cool. It's also calming and smells natural and not like chemicals. Love it! AND...it's the only moisturizer that doesn't make me break out. It's a little expensive for my taste but I did some calculating and it comes out to around $2.83/month including shipping. I think I can handle that. The 8 oz bottle lasted me 6 months so I bought the 16 oz bottle this time. Now I'm set for a year :) And the 8 oz bottle I bought Sept 2016 was set to expire in March 2018 so that's about a year and a half after I bought it. Good stuff. I only use the moisturizer now because I don't break out as much anymore. If I do I break out I just whip out my big tube of Acne.org's Benzoyl Peroxide Gel and put that all over my face before bed. Anyway, love this lotion. Please don't ever discontinue it! ***UPDATE*** 4-20-17 Shipping SUCKS! I placed my order 4/17/17 and paid $5.75 for shipping. I'm not going to get the order till 4/27/17. It's taking 10 DAYS to get to my house and that's with me paying almost $6 for shipping. So bad!!! I'm taking away 2 stars for bad shipping.

Not for me...
I love this line but the moisturizer is a little oily for my skin. Maybe Daniel should make another one gel base. I switch to Clinique Surge Moisturizer. Its pricey but way better than this. I would use this at night but not during the day! I looked like an oily mess during the day but I do not mind it before bed Daniel so 3 stars for at night... I guess

meh...
I tried the trial version of this product. I just wasn't pleased enough to order any more of it. I think it left my skin looking oilier than I would have liked. On the plus side, it did not irritate my skin and seemed to be quite moisturizing. Currently, I'm using CeraVe moisturizing lotion instead and sometimes (at night) mix that with jojoba oil.

Too greasy and not moisturizing enough

Pros:

really good ingredients
calming on the skin

Cons:

greasy residue, too much jojoba for oily skin
could be a bit more moisturizing

Not a bad moisturizer at all, the ingredients are very nice but I would love it if jojoba oil was a bit lower and sodium hyaluronate a bit higher in the ingredients list. I don't find jojoba oil moisturizing enough and still it leaves quite a greasy residue which is a problem if you have oily skin like me. It absorbs after 15mins but it's still very greasy so I use it just over night and it works ok. I would very much prefer if I could add jojoba oil myself.
