Pros:

Dan obviously had good intentions when creating this product but sadly i cant think of many pros.

Cons:

leaves yellow tint to the face that looks almost like seeping
does not help with dryness unless your willing to carry it around with you and apply at any sign of flakes throughout your day

Obviously Dan is trying to help all of us by improving his treatments, so i think all of you need to calm down first and foremost. I just recently began using the regimen and it absolutely made my skin 1000% better (minus the cystic abscess on my right side but that was bound to happen anyway) it took away all of my previous whiteheads (30-40 a day) in under a week, it was a miracle, and made my skin look actually flesh colored again. But after a few days i noticed that the moisturizer wasn't helping me at all but making me look worse. PLEASE Dan for all of us go back to your original moisturizer or at least change the new one

Pros:

none

Cons:

too many.
does not help with dryness and flakiness EVEN WITH 5-6 drops of jojoba oil day and night,
makes my face look greasy and yellow for the whole day, then eventually I just look red with speckled dry flaky skin. Not too mention it takes forever to absorb. what a waste of time spending 5-10 minutes day and night for this stuff. so disappointed. AND im breaking out- who knows if this has anything to do with it?

I am going to start using cetaphil cream- lets see if this is another disappointing trial and error for stupid acne.

Pros:

feels smooth going on

Cons:

flakiness, burning, itching, skin feels dry,

I really liked the other moisturizer. It felt great going on and really moisturized my skin after applying the bp. The new moisturizer has not worked for me at all. My skin burns right after I apply the bp and burns for about a half an hour afterwards. After the burning goes away, I experience a slight itchiness all day. It seems like I'm having alot of the same symptoms as some of the other reviews. I also work up this morning with my eyelids being slightly swollen. Luckily the swelling went down after about a half hour. I'm not sure what the problem is. I figured that it would work really well for me becuase the AHA with lichochalcone worked so well. Maybe its something else in the product? Please bring back the other moisturizer or at least make two versions of the moisturizer the old and the new one.

This moisturizer does not work at all.. Does not get rid of flakes and it takes forever to absorb..

DON'T BUY THIS IT DOES NOT WORK. I USE ALL OF DANS PRODUCTS, but this was an utter let down. I hope he brings back the old formula or does something else but this is a terrible product

same made face red and swollen
i have almost the same story as others.i have been on regimen for a year now with excellent results.i mean perfectly clear.this summer i ran out of moisturizer so i ordered more.the same day i received the new bottle i had a bad reaction.itchy and burning feeling.so i thought i got a bad batch of the stuff.so i ordered another.while waiting for the new bottle to arrive i remembered i had a travel size of the moisturizer and thought i would try it.instant relief,i mean instant,just like it felt for a year.so i used the travel size until the other new bottle arrived a week or so later.so,hoping i received a bad bottle i was excited to try it.geuss what,same,burning and itchy again.horrible.i checked the ingredients and they are the same on both the old and new bottles but,something is different.i used up the old stuff with great results.now that i am out,i am trying other moisturizers.i am hoping there is a problem that dan can solve,becuase i like the cool calming feel i used to get.i believe they either added something or took something out or got some bad ingredients and it screwed up the last batch.here are the numbers of the batches i have that cause the reaction a5c49-1 exp 3/17 and a5a01-2 exp 1/17 my old bottle that expired in 2016 and 2015 were excellent.if you have the same reaction with the moisturizer check the exp date and maybe thats why you may have a bad reaction also.new batch is just terrible you can't use it.

so,to update what works for me for the last 7 months is oil of olay's moisturizing lotion/sensitive skin.make sure you get the 120 mls or 4 fl oz in the blue box not the stuff in the pink.the pink has fragrance and the blue does not.the pink was ok but the blue is excellent.they are the same price and you would think that you getting more is better.but wait,don't.blue box!let me know if this works for you.hope so.save you lots of trial and error.

Not good and smells awful!

Pros:

Decent price

Cons:

Leaves skin oily
Smells terrible
Yellow color stains

I'm glad I only ordered a small bottle of this stuff to use with the regimen! It smells awful, seems like it never quite absorbs, has a yellow color that likes to stain, and leaves my skin feeling oily the next morning. I can't believe after all the negative press on this stuff, Dan or someone hasn't taken notice and continues to sell it unaltered! This moisturizer needs help, basically I think you guys need to start over, or bring back the old formula. Your other products work great Dan, listen to your customers! After all, we are the ones who support your business and everything. It feels like we aren't being heard about this.

Pros:

-none!! NONE!!! can't stress this enough!! NO PROS!

Cons:

-sooo bad, i'm surprised how bad it is every time I use it
-gave it two weeks time, used a HORRENDOUSLY HUGE AMOUNT every time YET NO MOISTURE!!!
-astoundingly bad product
-skin is MORE dry with it than without it!
-How is that possible???
-please, listen - if your skin is even slightly dry AVOID this

-I recently did a 10% TCA chem peel, and used this horrendous product, and it DID NOTHING to moisturize my skin -as a result i was left with peeling, horrendous crocodile skin -I was saving a bottle of the old formula for emergencies, and I thought that this severely dry skin constituted as one -applied old formula, and HOURS later my skin still feels soft and supple, no flakes -Proves the pover of the old formula -also my mother tried it, she has the skin of a baby (perfect) and she says that this made her skin look old -DO NOT BUY!!!!! WASTE OF MONEY and WORSE, WASTE OF SKIN!

Which moisturizer u using now?
April 19, 2011

Pros:

none

Cons:

made me break out in places where I have ever get acne
oily
dried out my skin
doesn't absorb very well
burnt the skin and made it peel
yellow tint

I HATE IT ! the worst moisturizer ever! bring back the old formula or otherwise you will loose your customers. I'm still recovering from peeling and I know it broke me out because I used cleanse and BP from the regimen as usual. when I switched it to another moisturizer, skin went back to normal (well almost, still have some irritation it caused).
