Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

I bought the regimen several years ago, and it worked like a charm. My favorite product by far was the Acne.org moisturizing lotion. Even though I loved the product, the cost and cost of shipping, at the time, were cost-prohibitive for me. Since I am more able to afford it now and Acne.org is finally offering free shipping, I ordered the moisturizer in the large pump size. I've been using it for about and month and am so disappointed in it. It feels like it has been completely reformulated. It is runny, and like other reviewers, it really doesn't soak into my skin until it's been on for several hours. Again, like other reviewers, it legitimately burns upon application. The older formulation NEVER did this. And again, like other reviewers, I believe this caused me to breakout and usually as long as I'm consistent with the acne medication, I have little to no breakouts. This moisturizer just hasn't cut it like it did when I first purchased it. I have discontinued its use even though I have the whole bottle left and went back to using Curel Daily Moisture Original Lotion on my face and my breakouts have slowly begun to heal after a week of not using the Acne.org product. I'm so sad this doesn't work anymore because it used to be the superior product. :(

If you're on the Acne.org regime, which you probably are if you have this moisturizer, then you will need the moisture. This product is really this to some heavy creams for dry skin, which we should have with this routine. I was on the routine for about a year and just discontinued to start Retin-A. I started to get painfully dry and itchy around mouth area with RED tinted skin. I removed BP for about a week with no prevail; I was still as unusually dry. I can't believe I thought that the BP was making me worse, but actually it was the MOISTURIZER. Unbelievable that after a year I would get this reaction from the moisturizer. However, I have never broken out from this moisturizer, so that is a major plus. When I was really, really dry and chapped I used DML Fórte Cream. It is delightful! You can try getting it online or though a dermatologist -- it is doctor grade (good stuff). It will NOT break you out. It is worth a try because you may need extra hydration once in a while. DML makes extremely gentle products, you can even use them on baby skin. I have dry, sensitive skin if anyone is wondering. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.

I had my acne under control, using Cetaphil Gentle Skin Cleanser, BP 2.5%, Olay Moisturizing lotion for Sensitive Skin. Then about 2 days ago I decided to bust out my unopened Acne.org moisturizer. Put the moisturizer on at night, and the next day a few white heads appeared (chin, side of face). I was surprised considering it was advertised for acne users. In addition, it is not a good consistency because it was too watery. I will be continuing with experimentation of moisturizers. My next up is Vanicream lite lotion.

I am so happy with the Regimen, but I did not like the moisturizer. It made my skin flakey. I skipped using the moisturizer, and I noticed my skin was clearer with out it! I then went back to using the moisturizer, and I noticed more bumps and black heads and flakiness. I no longer use a moisturizer and my skin looks great, so this might just be me!

I have dry skin, this moisturizer does nothing for me

Not too big of a fan of this product. I was using Cetaphil cream moisturizer while waiting for Dan's kit. While I liked cleanser and treatment, I think I will switch back to Cetaphil for the moisturizing part. I believe it would have been OK to use it without BP. But while on BP, most people would need more potent moisturizer to take care of dryness.

This website and regimen was a lifesaver when I was in the throes of some of the worst acne of my life- out of desperation I went on an internet deep-dive and came upon Acne.org and the information within it and the products that were offered helped me tremendously. I've been a loyal customer since 2012 and have always loved the products, especially the moisturizer. I'm not the kind of person that feels compelled to leave reviews, but after using this product for so long and noticing the recent changes, I now feel compelled to do so. I was surprised with my last shipment to receive an insert mentioning the change to the moisturizer because of complaints that the yellow in it stained. I personally in all these years have never experienced that, and was surprised the formula would be changed because of something minor (in fact, the BP, for me, stains/bleaches way more than the moisturizer ever did!) But the insert assured that the formula is the same, just without the yellow, and so I moved on with my day. A week or two later when I finally had to use the new bottle though, I was really surprised at how different the moisturizer seemed. At first I thought I accidentally grabbed more of the BP, because when I started putting it on it had the same consistency and OH MY GOSH, the burn! I thought the burning was because I'd put on double the BP, but after I wiped it off and double checked that I was now putting on the moisturizer, the same stinging burn was there! It stayed like that for weeks until after each application (it would subside once dried), but then, I don't know, my skin eventually calloused to it? The smell is not at all pleasant either, and the consistency is so much thicker than before, it doesn't feel the same putting it on, and I feel like I have a mask on for some of the day because of it- the original formulation was so light and absorbed so nicely, this one just doesn't have the same qualities. I know in business it is impossible to make everybody happy, but this seems like more than just a color-change issue- I'm not sure how essentially just a color change could effectively change so many other properties of an otherwise perfect product. I know that any change to product can be a time-consuming and expensive endeavor, but I hope that these reviews are taken into consideration when moving forward. I have always loved these products, and will continue to use this new moisturizer for a time, but unfortunately I am already on the lookout for a comparable moisturizer elsewhere that doesn't do to my skin what this new one does.

Hey. So I have been using the moisterizer for about 2 months and lately the moisterizer has been making my skin feel super greesy and oily. I use 1 1/2 pumps after the cleanser and 2 pumps of the BP night and day. At night it's greesy and oily but it's tolerable but then in the day when I go out it gets so greesy and oily and feels so heavy . I have oily skin to begin with but It looks and feel as if there is a layer of oil on my face. If anyone can help and answer these questions... '¢AM I USING TO MUCH?- '¢SHOULD I USE LESS- '¢SHOULD I USE MORE?- '¢SHOULD I USE ANTOHER MOISTERIZER?- '¢SHOULD I NOT USE AT ALL? '¢IS THERE A WAY TO MAKE LESS GREESY?- '¢AM I APPLYING WRONG ?- '¢WHY IS IT MAKING MY FACE GREESY?- '¢DOES GREESY MOISTERIZERS CAUSE MORE BREAK OUTS?- it doesn't burn or itch my face at all. but I really want to know why it makes my face so greesy. I have been putting on the same amount of moisterizer for the same amount of time. I want to just not put it on because dry skin to me vs. oily skin is just more comfortable but I am afraid when my face is dry I might break or . ANY THOUGHTS?? (If you can copy and paste and answer the questions I would appreciate it so much)

I don't know what happens to this product, there are so many bad reviews. I bought this product at the beginning of this year when I was in the US and I didn't see the reviews at that time, but I read about the soothing properties and went for it straight away as I have sensitive skin and it often gets irritated. Well, I've used the moisturizer alone and sometimes with the AHA. My skin burnt and on the next day, my skin was even more sensitive, itchy and burning. That was really strange. Then I patch tested the product on my arm and neck, I had no bad reaction, so I assumed I have no allergies, but it kept burning my skin. I was reading information about this product and I was astonished by the huge number of negative reviews here, so I figured out that it wasn't only me who was facing these kinds of issues. So I tried out another moisturizer, a repair cream from Avene called Cicalfate, it really recovered my skin and I'm using it every day. In summary, it said that this product is gentle and suitable for sensitive skin with acne, but it has worsened my situation. I think they should take a look at the formula because there are almost more negative comments than positive ones about this product.
