Cons:

-Doesn't moisturize
-Awesome mustard complexion

I tried to like this moisturizer. I really did. I've been on the acne.org regimen for 7 weeks now and have used this moisturizer (3 pumps with the recommended jojoba oil) every day, morning and night. I'm finally starting to see some, albeit small, results with the clearing of my acne, but the dryness from BP has gotten to a point where my skin's unbearable. I think I've given this product a fair chance but now I'm done with it. The bottom line is this moisturizer does not moisturize. The best it does is turn my already flakey skin yellow. Also, I tested this moisturizer on my neck and what a mistake that was. My neck broke out in an incredibly itchy, irritated as hell rash that I'm still trying to calm down. So far the acne.org cleanser and BP treatment have worked really well for me, but I recommend saving your money when it comes to this moisturizer. I wish I had.

Pros:

Moisturizing

Cons:

Awful burning feeling.

On top of just finding out that I am either very sensitive or allergic to Benzol Peroxide, I put this on my face expecting the relief like that of I get from my Aveeno moisturizer. I was wrong. It felt like my face was on fire again, right after I had all ready went through with it on BP. School tomorrow. Oh joy.

Pros:

has nice ingredients?

Cons:

Stings some parts of my face
seems a bit too watery?
didn't take care of flakes from the bp
face doesn't feel moisturized

I finally got the regime two days ago and i know i probably havent given enough time but here goes: i figured it might be from my skin not being adjusted to the bp but after reading these reviews i think it might be from the moisturizer. I will continue using this for maybe a week longer then try a normal moisturizer and see what the go is. Also the skin around my eyes became very very dry and this moisturizer did not do a thing about it.

Pros:

ummm....none:(

Cons:

yellow..yuck..not like the old one

It is my first time trying it so i can't really say much but i've already started to resent it. I really LOVED the old moisturizer and wish it can be put back on the market. I would choose the old moisturizer any other day. Please let me have my old moisturizer back!!!

Pros:

Works better than most moisturizers you can buy at a store

Cons:

Nowhere near as good as the old moisturizer. When I have to buy more of this, I do so reluctantly. I really wish I could get more of the other formula.

It's really unfortunate that the old moisturizer is no longer available. I don't use the regimen any more, but the moisturizer is something that I continued to use. Now, I'm afraid I will have to find something else, as I cannot justify continuing to buy such an expensive product when I'm not particularly happy with it.

Pros:

Lightweight.

Cons:

The new formula smells bad and makes me breakout.

Please bring back the old formula! I loved it and my skin has never been more clear when I was using it. The new formula just doesn't work for me.

Pros:

-Moisturizes a bit

Cons:

-Not as good as the old formula
-Makes my skin congested
-Have to find a new brand

I was looking forward to this new formula the old one worked so well :(....very disappointing. I'm hoping Dan and the Acne.org team will listen to their clients and supporters' reviews and switch back to the old formula (even though it would cost more to do so).

Pros:

- Very moisturizing; perhaps too much
- It really felt like natural face oil and this is good because it "tricks" the skin into producing less or no oil

Cons:

- Thick
- Felt like I'm slapping sludge on my face ( no offense Dan)

Short story: It moisturizes too much until it leaves my face oily and full of slick as if I didn't wash my face in the first place. Long story: I started and still am using The Regiment. Everything is good about it except the moisturizer. There's just something about that isn't right. Maybe I'm not using correctly but if I were to put too little, my skin flakes and peels like a snake. If I put too much, there is less flaking BUT my face feels no different as before I started The Regiment; as in it felt like my typical oily face without washing. And sometimes it actually causes pimples to return! It would be great if it wasn't so thick like an inch of make up and the ability to apply it gracefully especially into nooks and crannies too completely moisturize the whole face. It's just my own opinion but I feel that moisturizer should make your face refreshed and cooling and hydrated and not leaving your face feeling oily and slick.

Pros:

.....smells OK

Cons:

Made face more red
Didn't moisture or hydrate my face, left it flaky
Causes some breakouts
Doesn't apply as thinly as the old moisturizer

I liked the old moisturizer much better. I love the regimen but I do not love this moisturizer it has made me go back a few steps in progress! When I first started the regimen, this moisturizer wasn't out and I was using the old moisturizer and the regimen made it so that I would get maybe one pimple per month! it was awesome. but after they switched and put this moisturizer in I've been getting 4 pimples a week and I was wondering why I kept breaking out. And then I figured out that it was this moisturizer! I wish they would put the old formula back.

Pros:

Light
moisturizing

Cons:

Not light enough
smells bad
leaves my skin feeling gross, like a residue.
Drys up and clogs the end of the pump

I really liked the old stuff. I don't like how it leaves a gross feeling residue on my skin. I also use this to moisturize the skin under my short beard. The old stuff was a lot thinner and massaged in very nicely. This does not! I leaves an even worse sticky feeling on my beard. I really want to have the option to buy the old moisturizer or the new one. Don't just take the old one away all together! I honestly have no idea what i will buy once this is used up. It was nice to have found what i liked only to have it taken away! bring back the old one!
