Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

Best moisturizer I have tried. I use it with the regimen. It does not cause acne. It makes my skin glow. It works well under SPF (I use Cetaphil Dermacontrol SPF 30 on top of it). It fully absorbs in. It does not pill. I think it helps with post acne marks too by fading them with the licochalone. It also has antioxidants which I like. 

 

If you’ve been with acne.org for awhile, you remember the original moisturizer before this one. It was the BEST, but then sadly they discontinued it, and I tried this moisturizer and didn’t love it as much. So I started using Cetaphil instead, and did so for several years. A few months ago I needed to order more cleanser and BP. I noticed the moisturizer and thought, “what the heck. It’s been awhile, I’ll give it another try!” Oh my goodness I love it! It’s so much better than Cetaphil and other moisturizers that have come and gone over the years. It has the perfect balance: It moisturizes yet feels light on my skin. I have oily skin and in the past i always needed to use those oil blotting sheets every couple hours. Now I only use 1 a day, sometimes none! This moisturizer is LIFE!! 

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 !

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.

Almost every other moisturizer I've tried has broken me out. I don't like to use moisturizers but I need one in winter because my skin gets really flaky and dry. Another tip is not to take really long, really hot showers. The hot water can dry out your skin. I also like that I can wear this reasonably well underneath my make-up.
