Pros:

No stinging or redness, no tackiness or stickiness!!! very mositurizing

Cons:

none

Moisturizing had always been a problem for me, because it made my face slightly red during the day, and at night I HATED how my face would feel sticky against the pillow. This stuff goes on smoothly and does not make my face feel sticky, so I can actually go to sleep soon after putting it on. thank god!!!! and dan. also, dan says use 2 pumps, but 1 was plenty for me.

Really good
Not sure why no one likes this stuff. Maybe my skin is weird, but this is the best moisturizer I've ever used. It sinks right in and actually moisturizes. I use the rest of the regimen as well but was never really clear until I added this moisturizer. I almost didn't buy it because it reviewed badly, so I'm really glad I tried it. My skin is between normal oiliness and slightly oily, acne prone, and very sensitive, for reference.

Pros:

light, non-oily, absorbs fast, provides enough moisture, soothing

Cons:

none

I've used the old formula and that usually left me a bit shiny. This newer formula provides just enough moisture while giving me a matte look, I find it sufficient for keeping my skin in good shape even in the winter months, there is no stinging or balling up. My skin is on the oily side and does not flake even from large amounts of BP. If you have oily skin and you don't suffer serious dry flaking skin from BP then you will probably like this new formula. However, I think a richer lotion/cream may be necessary if you are on the dry side and a fan of the older formula, try cetaphil/cerave instead.

Pros:

Very moisturizing, good price.

This works very well! It does cause my skin to appear oily but it's actually less oily then before the regimen. Even though it makes me a little oily, the oil didn't cause any acne when I used this as part of the regimen. And the regimen completely got rid of my acne.

Pros:

-Moisturizes very well, sans the greasy/filmy feeling.
- Extremely absorbent. i feel like it soaks right into my skin after about 10 minutes.
-When used daily in the morning, it allows my sensitive skin to tolerate AHA almost every evening after bp

Cons:

N/A- I love this product so far.

This is a serious, daily surge of moisture for the skin. I don't know if it's the jojoba oil or what--- but some ingredient in there is keeping me from looking like an oil slick, while somehow keeping my skin supple and moist thruout the entire day. I'm thrilled.

Pros:

dries quickly with no oiliness
moisturizes extremely well (flakiness completely disappeared)

Cons:

(Who wants to moisturize when you've got acne? .... but ya.. you just got to)

I love love love it. New to acne.org (3 weeks), was having extreme burning with neutrogena on the spot and my skin was one giant flake. I switched to acne.org bp and new moisturizer at the same time, burning with bp COMPLETELY ended, and this moisturizer knocked those flakes off my face by day 3. Skin went from giant scab to not a single flake (even with full make-up), no oiliness after product has absorbed, and so far it doesn't seem to be irritating my acne whatsoever (so a smooth transition into my regimen). Oh ya - spent 58 dollars on my favorite dermalogica moisturizer about a week before starting this one and it did NOTHING for the extreme dryness. This moisturizer, again, had the entire face-scab gone by morning 3.

Excellent moisturizer possibly the best

The most current version of this moisturizer is the best product I have ever used concerning moisturizers. Other consistently of the cream and how it absorbs into the skin is perfection. This will be the only moisturizer I use even if I am not using it with the other products from acne.org. If you have sensitive, dry skin, or just want to moisturize for the benefits this is what you need. A very positive experience! I hope that nothing about this moisturizer changes, I will literally use it the rest of my life!

Agree other than on occasion I add a few drops of vegetable glycerin when I feel like I need to boost the moisturization. It is really only in the winter that it is necessary.

I love this stuff!
I absolutely love this stuff! I haven't used a moisturizer on my acne-prone skin in years because I always feared any moisturizer would only induce more acne. I decided to trust this stuff and wow, I wish I knew about it sooner. I am loving the entire system. My skin is improving A LOT. It's so smooth and radiant!

Is not bad totally

Pros:

no sting feeling
moisturizing very well
calm down irritated skin

Cons:

weird smell
need to order online and postage is very expensive
yellow color

I have tried the old moisturizer before, it got the sting feeling, this one has none. It helps to calm down my skin after using the BP, and doesnt clog the pores which is the main point of getting clear. Is actually not that bad as i was told by the previous review. Give it a try. you will love it.

Pros:

works great on my skin
absorbs quickly
no perfumes added
great for sensitive skin

Cons:

it does stain white blouses, but I just add some stain remover before washing and it comes right out.

I really like the moisturizer, I add the jojoba oil and it really helps my flakes and dry skin. I do this several times a day to my skin. The Acne.org products have made a bid difference in my skin. A big improvement! Would highly recommend this program!
