Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

not a fan of the new moisturizer. you have to use a ton, it takes forever to absorb, and it leaves skin very dry and flaky. burns a ton when you put it on right after BP and stains shirts and white towels. I have switched to Cetaphil. Dan is usually great about this stuff, so I hope we have a solution in the coming weeks.

I follow Dan's regimen, minorly tweaked to my needs and have for about 7 years. It's the only thing that has ever worked. But this moisturizer is. B. A. D. I mean, just awful. As stated in the headline, it feels gross on the skin. The color makes you look ill. And it rubs off and turns everything else yellow. I assume it feels so icky because of all the oil, and yet it is not sufficiently oily or moisturizing to conquer the flakiness from the BP. I'm surprised anyone at all likes it, but hey, to each his own. What I find even more shocking is that more than half of people seem to really hate it and nothing comes of it. It's a shame really bc the regimen is truly great. It's changed my skin completely, but I had to find alternatives for half his products.

This moisturiser is so greasy, doesn't soak in at all and it makes my face a orange/yellow colour which makes me so self conscious! Not good at all! Trying to find a different moisturiser..

I totally thought it was the Bp causing my skin to get severely dry, flaky, irritating, and have this alligator feel. I stopped using the Bp and realized that I was still having these problems. My skin was pealing horribly, super tight, and irritated. I recently logged back onto my account to read reviews on this product and noticed many many others were having this same product. Not only were I having those problems, but this moisurizer left my skin very glossy and tinted yet my skin wasn't being "moisturized" at all! It's almost like the product was just sitting on top of my face, and took FOREVER to absorb if it did at all. I was just walking around looking a greasy mess all day. After applying the moisturizer my skin would burn sooooo bad, to the point I would have to take it off!! Now that I know it was the moisturizer causing me all these issues, it will most definately be tossed. By the way, my skin is very dry naturally, if any one out there could recommend an oil free light moisturizer it will be greatly appreciated.

I can't believe that I'm saying this about an acne.org product, but... this stuff actually makes me break out. I'm very aware of my acne and this stuff gave me pimples in areas that I never break out in. It did a good job at taking care of flakes but waking up to small white heads every day isn't a good trade off. Being that I've been using Acne.org products for almost 5 years now, I really wanted to like this moisturizer; but it just isn't a great product. This one needs help Dan...

Yes, I've only used this product for less than a week, but I honestly can't take it anymore. I have never in my life experienced a moisturizer quite like this one. It absolutely amazes me that a "moisturizer" this capable of leaving my skin looking like an oil slick at the same time provides absolutely no hydration whatsoever. It leaves my skin feeling tight and irritated (it stings quite a bit actually), and using jojoba oil to relieve the dryness doesn't exactly help the oily appearance of my skin. My skin is a combination type and really tough, I've never had any problems with irritation when using other products. Also, there's the color. Maybe it's just more visible on my skin because I'm so pale, but now I look like an Oompa-Loompa. It's really that bad.

I won't be repurchasing this nor will I be finishing my bottle. I normally always buy the big kit, but I will only be buying the cleanser and treatment for myself and my sister from now on. I have been using the oil-free Cetaphil as a daytime replacement, but I need to find a new nighttime moisturizer. Dan has made so many great products (i.e. the cleanser, BP treatment, AHA), but this one just does not work for me.

this moisurizer SUCKS! honestly, it says on the website "takes care of all flakiness" oh is that right? then why is my skin still as flaky as a desert? especially in these cold canadian winters.. and speaking of living in canada i had to pay 20$ for shipping & handeling for the whole large kit..and that was the cheapest option. i LOVE the treatment bp but for me everything else is crap! i'm so dissapointed. hopefully cerave will work better for me..

I never used the old formula but from the reviews, it seems much better, especially because it wasn't always yellow! The yellow makes my face a different color from my neck. It moisturizes for about half the day and then like clockwork, I start flaking like crazy. Literally every night. I've added jojoba oil but that just makes my face shiny. I am flaky to the point that I worry about applying the benzoyl peroxide because it could make me drier! THIS SYSTEM NEEDS A NEW MOISTURIZER. If anyone can suggest a replacement moisturizer, that'd b. great/

I adore this line of face care. I just order a second bottle of the cream. However over the past 5 weeks I developed swollen eyes, redness on my face and neck. I got allergy testing. Went to 4 doctors. Had 3 rounds of steroids. Finally, when I saw the allergist he said it was contact dermatitis and it was something I was putting on my face. I was saddened. I love acne.org. However the pieces started to fall into place. On my last, and most severe, flair up I had spent the day applying the cream to my eyes because they were dry from the previous flair up. When people see the picture I show them, they are in disbelief. My face and eyes look like costume make up. I can't see to drive. I don't know if there is a new ingredient added or if I developed an allergy over time.
