Dissatisfied and disappointed with the white moisturizer
Dan, Stop selling this new white moisturizer as this item is causing damages to the skin. Everyone is complaining and you are still selling something that doesn't work well. The smell is bad and whatever ingredients you have on there is making acne worse and causing bad irritation. We want you to go back to the yellow moisturizer that made us all a loyal customer for years since that worked to treat acne. I am very concerned and disappointed to see you let go of the old yellow moisturizer.

Ruined a Perfect Product
Loyally and religiously used for over ten years with amazing results, clearing up cystic acne. Now they have changed the formulation and I am 32, with cystic acne everywhere. Please please please change back. We will pay whatever you want! Also, please get rid of horrible scent you added!

Need The Old Formula Back
Like everyone else is saying, the new formula of the moisture is horrible. It burns my skin when I put it on after the treatment is fully dry. It does not keep my skin hydrated. I really miss the old moisturizer because it was the perfect combination and I wish the company would go back to it. I’ve been a customer for years and it saddens me that I now have to go back on the search for something that with help my acne and skin.

Gonna look for other brands for moisturiser
Been using this product for nearly 10 yrs now. Absolutely hate the new moisturiser. It’s very cakey. Feels like a toothpaste in my face or worse. Please change it back to the old formula. I’m not gonna buy this one anymore. Will be looking for other brand moisturiser now. Will be back to this brand again if it’s changed to the old one coz it used to be great calming thin soft moisturiser

Formula change is awful
I have used the entire acne.org regime for 3 years now. It entirely cleared my face from TERRIBLE acne that covered my entire face. The new formula change for the moisturizer is awful. I thought my skin would adjust to the change and that it wouldn't be too different from the original yellow formula. I was wrong. This new formula is way too thick and does not soak into my skin, I have struggled with huge breakouts once again without changing anything else in my routine. I'm glad to see that others have felt the same way as I thought it was just me. Unless the formula is changed back I don't think I'll be buying this product again.

The only thing he did was add a different licochalcone that was not tinted so that it wouldn't potentially stain clothing or pillow cases, etc. I don't experience the issues people are claiming. I have made a few comments elsewhere under other bad ratings as pertains to their complaints and what I do in my routine that I think might help.

No I have to agree with cathy. I liked the new yellow moisturizer, it was unfortunate so many complained simply cause it was yellow. The new white one, is cakey and more oily feeling, and smells weird. Perhaps a different licochalcone can make that big of a difference? Lucky it doesn't burn me, but I still feel it on my skin 20 minutes later like a film...not good.

WHY?!?!?
Absolutely loved the yellow moisturizer - used it loyally for 7-8 years. Ordered 2 more bottles recently, unaware of the formula change. When I got it, there was a slip in the box saying you removed whatever made it yellow due to complaints - well here’s to me complaining, that this new stuff is not at all the same. The yellow stuff was perfect - light, very moisturizing but not thick, could barely feel it on my skin after it absorbed, which was quickly. Gave my skin a nice constant glow, etc. This new formula is much thicker, feels like it’s constantly clogging my pores, my skin doesn’t look the same after it’s applied compared to applying the yellow moisturizer, I’ve broken out for the first time in ages since starting to use it - there has been no other changes to my routine. I don’t know why it was changed, apparently because there were complaints of the yellow color? Well I’d expect for you to get x20 the amount of complaints about this product being much different and an overall bad product and absolutely incomparable to the old formula. And great for you guys because I just purchased 2 of the largest bottles of it with no way to return it. I’ve no other immediate option to turn to for my skin, as this regime is all I’ve known for a long long time. Very disappointing, honestly feels like I’d been let down in the biggest way by a close friend. Not even a heads up before spending hundreds of dollars on this “new formula”. I could’ve just went to the drugstore and bought ceraVe if I wanted a thick white moisturizer instead of spending hundreds on this without even knowing it was changed, for the worst. Speaking of spending I’ve literally spend thousands of dollars with you over these years, and feel as though you should know I, among I would assume many others, have just been set back to day one because of this shit. Thanks!!!!! Unbelievable. I would be giving a zero or negative star review if you allowed that to be on your website… Dan as someone who said they developed this regimen because you had acne and no where else to turn, you should know how this would feel….. horrendous.

There is no way on earth it is the cause of pore clogging. The moisturizer is the same exact thing other than the licochalcone. All Daniel did was change the type he included in the formula because it was yellow and it could cause a yellow tint to occur on white fabrics you would come in contact with throughout the day. I don't experience anything that any of the people leaving back reviews are saying. Please consider that there are many, many reasons for acne breakouts and something else might have changed to cause the issue you are claiming.

I have the same issue she mentioned. The white moisturizer is very heavy and clogs the skin causing irritation. Extremely disappointed. We need the old yellow moisturizer that gave me a nice glow.

This does not happen with me. I am not sure what the issue is that people are having. All Dan did was change the licochalcone that he used in the formula.

New formula is very bad for the skin

This new thick white formula is so bad that it is making my clear skin breakout with rash all over my face. Please stop selling this product to customer. This is not the same Yellow moisturizer we used for years. This is so deplorable to have you change to a very bad moisturizer that is causing acne on my face. I am so disappointed.

Why did the formula change?

Similar to many other reviews here, I have been an avid Acne.Org regimen user for the better part of a decade. It is the ONLY cleanser, moisturizer, and treatment I have used since 2014, and that is not an exaggeration (I briefly tried a Cetafil cleanser to save money for about a month and my acne came back so I returned to the regimen and never looked back). After seeing everyone else's reviews here, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who is having issues with the new moisturizer's formulation. I just opened a new bottle of the moisturizer after finishing a bottle with the old (yellow) formula. I initially thought I got sent a mislabeled bottle of the Benzoyl Peroxide because that was the look and consistency of the new moisturizer. I put it on and it was sticky, so strongly scented, and burned. And not like sometimes my skin burns because I put my treatment on too quickly after showering, like felt like a chemical peel BURNED for hours. My skin burned and felt so tight and dry that I was convinced I applied a heaping amount of Benzoyl Peroxide and not moisturizer. I don't know what happened or why the formula was changed but it is so so so incredibly disappointing after having felt like I found the holy grail in the old yellow formula. If the creators are reading the reviews (and I would hope they are) PLEASE consider offering the old formulation as an option to your loyal customers. I have such incredibly sensitive, acne-prone skin that the slightest change in my skincare routine will send my skin into a downward spiral which is why I can assure you, not a THING in my routine has changed within the past 2 years or so (had to add in some anti-wrinkle serums, hi thirties!) to make this moisturizer behave the way it did on my skin, unless something drastic happened within the formulation. Please creators, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE bring the old version back as an option. I'm quite literally BEGGING.

(I'm also editing to add in that when I started using these products in 2014, I read on this website that the yellow color was because of the licorice root being used in these products and to beware of moisturizers that are white in color because it means the moisturizer has been unnecessarily altered to have a whiter color. Seems odd that now the moisturizer is white...?)
