Pros:

Helps reduce redness. That's about it.

Cons:

Does not moisturize.
Doesn't help with flakiness.

The old formula I could apply twice a day, once in the morning and once at night and I'd be fine without any flakiness or dryness. This new one doesn't moisturize. My skin is dry in less then an hour after application with jojoba oil. I moisturize 3+ a day with this and it is still not enough. Thought I finally had a system that worked and now it's ruined.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Doesn't moisturize effectively; leaves skin feeling sticky and uncomfortable, and flaky. With prolongued use, skin takes on a yellow tinge, especially when you use as much as you're directed to (initially 2 pumps, later Dan's update stated to 'just use more' if it wasn't working). Stains clothing and fabrics. Smells bad. It's yellow.

It's 2013 and I still miss Dan's old moisturizer. It was light, moisturizing, and left your skin feeling refreshed and radiant. It was undeniably a better moisturizer; the ratings speak for themselves. I got tired of the uncomfortable feeling the new moisturizer leaves you with, and switched to Neutrogena's oil-free moisturizer for sensitive skin. It's not even close to Dan's old moisturizer, but still way better than the terrible new moisturizer by acne.org.

Pros:

I can actually USE this moisturizer!
It is lightweight, and absorbs into the skin amazingly
Very soothing, and calms my redness down

Cons:

None! I am in love!!!

I have been searching for a moisturizer for years and have tried almost everything under the sun for my oily, sensitive, acne-prone skin. Basically, my skin exhibits "diva-like behavior." I either break out from it or it doesnt absorb so I end up looking like I just applied fryer grease to my face. Not the best look for anybody, especially a girl who wears makeup! I still cant believe how well this works--I almost didnt order it because I had given up on moisturizers entirely. Boy, would that have been the mistake of the year! Definitely give this moisturizer a try. I am so glad I did! Now I have a solid skin care regimen that my skin is happy with! :)

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:

Tasted kind of good if I got a little on my lips

Cons:

Did not moisturize at all
Left face looking shiny
Made face sting
Started getting wrinkles

This product didn't work for me at all. It didn't moisturize and made the dry skin sting. I kept using more and more hoping it would work better, but all that did was hide the skin flakiness. Whenever I ate, the skin around my mouth would start flaking due to the skin movement, which was embarrassing. I had to start bringing another moisturizer to work with me to put around my mouth after lunch. After a couple months I started getting wrinkles on my forehead and the corners of my mouth, and that's when I decided to quit using it. I went back to the old moisturizer I used before I started the regimen, Nivea For Men Sensitive Lotion, and my face gradually went back to normal (no flakiness or wrinkles). The Nivea lotion tends to clump up because of the benzoyl peroxide if I'm not careful, but at least it works. I'm still looking for a better moisturizer to use. I didn't realize until now that I had been using a new formula of the Acne.org moisturizer. Wish I'd been able to try the old one!

Pros:

Does not contribute to my acne
Does not leave my fave shiny
Keeps my skin hydrated
Light consistency

Cons:

Not a good choice for extremely dry skin

My skin was extremely dry and flaky when I first tried this moisturizer. This product made my dry skin worse and I had to use more than a few applications. I then tried the recommended Olay Classic SPF moisturizer for a month (morning and night). It worked to repair my broken and dry skin while on the regimen, but I started to break out from it. I went back to using the regimen moisturizer and now I absolutely love it. It keeps my skin hydrated without any flakes. I must mention that I understand the negative reviews on this product because I have experienced that other side. For me, this moisturizer worked once my skin completely repaired itself from being dry. I hope this product continues to stay, because it is extremely hard to find a moisturizer that I know won't 100% break me out. I appreciate the care and ingredients that went into making this product (including the cleanser, which is gentle and awesome).

I absolutely loved the old moisturizer. I had a stock pile of it and just reorder some more only to find out it's not the same. I REALLY hope they bring back the old stuff. The old formula was super light and gentle, calming, and had a nice smell. It was one of the only moisturizers I had ever found to work on my very sensitive skin without giving me a rash or making me breakout. The new stuff makes me itch, doesn't smell the best, feels like there is a residue on your skin, and has a odd yellow color that other people seem to thinks stains clothing (I haven't noticed this, but have only used the new stuff a few times). PLEASE, PLEASE, BRING BACK THE OLD FORMULA!!!

Pros:

NONE!!!

Cons:

PLEASE BRING THE OLD FORMULA BACK!! i HAVEN'T HAD CLEAR SKIN SINCE YOU HAD THE ORIGINAL MOISTURIZER. THIS MOISTURIZER IS THE WORST AND I CANT FIND ANY OTHER MOISTURIZER SUITABLE FOR MY SKIN WHILE ON THE REGIME SO, MY ACNE GETS WORST AND WORST.

While on the original regime, i had clear skin. I haven't achieved clear skin or any success while on the new regime.

Pros:

a little goes a long way
very moisturizing
absorbs quickly

Cons:

could be greasy if too much is applied

I love this moisturizer. I used too much the first time and I hated it because I thought it made me greasy. But after a few days I learned what was enough for my skin and now it is my favorite moisturizer I have ever used.
