Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone

I had a few pimples and started using the regimen it got me all cleared out and now I particularly just use the moisturizer! (Keep in mind I only had a few pimples) I don't use any other moisturizer for the past few years! Give it a try!!

I started adapalene 0.1% gel two weeks ago and this moisturizer has been a godsend during this retinization period. I overdid it with the adapalene the first week by applying every night, which made my skin tight and red, with some mild swelling around my eyes. Cetaphil moisturizing lotion wasn’t providing enough relief so I switched to Acne.org’s moisturizer. It was so soothing! It feels light, though still hydrating enough to repair my dryness. Within two days, my skin calmed down. Now, I use adapalene every other day with this moisturizer, and my skin is no longer irritated. It dries quickly on my face and leaves a healthy glow (not an oily sheen). Love this product and so glad I had it around the house when I started a retinoid! 

I had a bottle of this on my shelf for a while but never fully committed to it as I felt it wasn’t hydrating enough.

But then came the game changer: tretinoin. Whilst acne.org’s moisturiser wasn’t hydrating to see me through the actual process of adapting to a retinoid, once I was through the initial dryness, redness, general mayhem of retinoid-adjusting skin, this moisturiser became my HG.

Light, full of effective ingredients, it creates a smooth surface that makeup grips to. No need for a primer. And the jojoba oil balances my skin so that it never gets oily. The wonder of skin-identical oil.

I live in the UK so I bulk buy the big 16oz bottles, which last me ages (and I use all over my body).

Thanks Dan for a truly effective product! Don’t ever discontinue!

I use this moisturizer with acne.org cleanser and treatment since 5 weeks, it’s the winning combination !

My skin is sensitiv so I had hard times using peroxid benzoyl 2 times a day even respecting the dosage, I wrote an email and the same day I received a new program advicing me to use the moisturizer as much as possible. Since then my skin is not itchy anymore And iimproves every day. Thank you acne.org, you changed my life !

Although the moisturiser is yellow, 10 minutes after applying it on your face, the colour will be disappear. The longer the moisturiser stays on your face, the more "matt" it becomes. Initially, you may look greasy and oily but give it 30 minutes, it should look matt. 

What I found interesting about this moisturiser is that whenever I am in an air-con room or if I have a fan blowing at me, my face begins to feel dry, although I may have applied the moisturiser within the last 30 minutes. 

I would share that it is not the most moisturizing product out there, but it does the job. I would recommend adding 2 drops of jojoba oil for added moisturising effect while not looking too shiny or oily. 

I’ve used this regimen some years back and loved it, ran out and never repurchased. I decided to order it again because I loved it so much and two days after using it I had extreme dryness, itching, weeping all over my face, and swollen eyelids. Skipped the BP thinking that’s what it was and added loads of moisturizer little did I know that’s what cause all of my problems to begin with! I’ve never had dermatitis before, and was too embarrassed to go to a DR. because of how my face looked. I was miserable! Just in case anyone is having this problem I wanted to share what I did that helped literally overnight!

First make sure to wash your pillowcase and sheets after stopping the products, next OATMEAL MASK - literally just oats and water to make a paste and put it all over your face, feels amazing! Let it dry, I left mine on for about an hour. I did 2 times a day if I could. Rinse with warm water. Moisturize after.

For moisturizer I used BABY aveeno eczema moisturizer cream. I applied it with a very thick coat during the day if I was home, and reapplying if needed. And again a thick coat at night after washing my face. Works wonders!!!

Hopefully this helps and works for others that are going through the same thing because of this product.

I like how easy this lotion is to glide on my face and like the Licochalcone for inflammation. It has a yellow tint but once it's absorbed my skin isn't tinted. I like it better than cerave because it's easier to apply, not as sticky.

Hello, so almost a year ago I had purchased the acne.org regimen and before it had 10% benzoyl peroxide and my face would really dry up. So when I’d apply the moisturizer (as directed on the pan flip provided) my face would get really dark like a tan. So I’d always use a little bit of moisturizer which suck for a while until my face got use to the product, I didn’t really use it. However the rest of the products help with my acne. 

Has a smooth feel to the skin. Its a good moisturizer.

As a skincare ingredient expert, it is sad to see people think this is causing dryness. There is literally not one ingredient that would cause irritation or dryness. It is other things people are using, such as getting over the BP dryness phase...absolutely not this perfect moisturizer. Please stop posting negative reviews and asking for formula changes, if it does not work for you, try another, but you will not find a more gentle, perfect moisturizer for sensitive, acne-prone skin, backed by science. I am a fan of this for life, and please Acne.org do not reformulate based on uneducated reviews.
