not for me.
I can't use this stuff. it feels too greasy and thick and I get clogged pores every time I use it. I tested it on my neck for a bit before trying on my face and it even clogged up pores there, and I do not get any kind of acne there at all normally.

none

Cons:

doesn't moisturize
greasy feeling
yellow
can't get rid of flakes

This is HORRIBLE. I used it for 2 and a half months, and I just couldn't take it anymore. It leaves my face dry after about 2 hours. I feel horrible throughout the day. DO NOT BUY

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Didn't get rid of flakes

I went through a period a few months ago where my skin was VERY dry, Stupidly, I used this product for WEEKS hoping it would eventually help - I just continued to use more and more. Finally, I said enough is enough and I switched back to Cetaphil and in ONE application my flakes were GONE. I'm not sure what exactly changed about the formula, but I can tell you that it is not a good change

....NONE

-makes face super red
-makes face oil a bunch
-makes face break out with random underground cysts
-doesn't moisturize at all

I LOVED the old moisturizer. I still have some left so after trying out the new moisturizer for awhile and breaking out, I tried going back to the old moisturizer and my face cleared right back up. Bring the old moisturizer back pleeeeease

Pros:

Better than nothing

Cons:

Leaves skin flaky and shiny. Maybe this works in humid climates such as San Fran but in the north it doesn't have nearly the needed moisturizing power.
Now I have to go start trying other moisturizers.

Should have left the original formula alone. This is by far the most garbage moisturizer I have ever used. If I wanted licochalcone I would have bought the AHA which is good for spot treatment. Dan, bring back the old formula

Pros:

No harsh ingredients, and it does not react with benzoil peroxide.

Cons:

Does not moisturize at all. I have tried adding up to 10 drops of jojoba oil, but that still does not help. My skin is extremely chaffed, dry and flakes gallore. I am extremely disapointed with this product, I never had these issues with the older moisturizer. I do not recommend this new formula at all. I wish the old formula was still sold.

Do not buy it, it does not moisturize well.

Pros:

I'm sorry but there aren't any

Cons:

Does not moisturize well
Expensive
Smell

I was so excited when Dan announced his new moisturizer. But after using it for a week I am searching for a new moisturizer. I used 4 pumps (FOUR!!!) and my skin would begin to feel tight after half an hour. I'm very unhappy. Please reintroduce the old formula or sell both please!

Does not moisturize
Irritating
Does not relieve flakiness

The old formula was much better. I had been using the old formula for about 2 years, but now I think that I am going to have to find another brand. This new formula just isn't going to cut it.

Pros:

Moisturizes well, not oily, cheap!
Plus doesn't sting anymore!!

Cons:

Have to use lots of it (two pumps is a lot!)

I love love LOVE this product. It not only changed the tone of my skin, but my skin has never been so smooth! At first I thought it was not moisturizing enough but after using two pumps of it, my skin was hydrated. Adding jojoba oil will make it even better! I can tell that Dan put a lot of thought and time into this, and it really shows. Great job acne.org!
