Love the new color, new smell is not the best.
Hey Daniel, been using your regiment for a while. The new moisturizer seems pretty great overall and I'm glad I can finally use the acne.org moisturizer for my AM routine. The green that was present in the old formula made it only worthwhile for PM since it did leave a yellowish residue which wasn't ideal. The new formula does have a different smell (slightly worse than the old in my opinion, but it goes away), but I do appreciate that it's a normal lotion color that I can use any time of the day. I hope that if you do create another moisturizer formula, there is a way to retain the lotion color (either through the new formula or just offering 2 moisturizer options of differing colors). Anyway best of luck!

Good Lightweight Moisturizer

I don't have a problem with this moisturizer. I have finnicky skin and live in a humid climate, so my skin hates too much hydration. This moisturizer is so lightweight and has good ingredients like lichochalcone, which helps reduce my redness. It sinks in quickly, too. No smell. Has a funny yellow color, but does not bother me at all. I don't report any change to my skin color from the product as others reported.

I can see why some people don't like it. If you need something heavier, this isn't for you. This works perfectly for me because my skin is normal and doesn't require much moisture. But if you are normally dry, I would recommend something heavier.

Fairly good

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.

My skin is sooooo dry
So i've been on the regimen for about a week and my skin is clearing up slowly but i usually have oily skin and after going on this regimen i noticed i have extremely dry skin now. I have dry patches all over my face and my skin is always so itchy and it sometimes stings. I apply a pretty heavy duty moisturizer and my skin still itches and the dry patches are still there. I literally have dry patches under my eyes where i usually put my concealer. I don't even know how that's possible but if anybody could recommend me some tips or something idk i just need help lol.

The same thing is happening to me and I have no idea what to do. I use 2 pumps of moisturizer and like 6 drops of jojoba oil and within like 2-3 hours my skin is flaky. Not only is my skin extremely dry, but the dry skin is darker than my actual skin tone and overall my skin looks disgusting, I refuse to go out of the house sometimes

DO NOT put the AHA products under your eyes. They include this in the directional video and it is very important. I did for a few days and my under eyes were bright red and dark for weeks until I cycled through the life of those skin cells (about 21 days). Leave a generous circle around your eye untouched when applying the benzoyl and AHA crime. Only use cleanser and lotion in that area.

Love the product, not the way it arrived
Of course I love this product, I have been using it for over a year now and this regimen is literally my miracle and I love love love it. But I ordered this since I ran out, and it arrived in the package with the top broken and the lotion was coated all over the inside, a bit on the outside even, and on the bottle. I cleaned it up and thankfully it wasn't completely broken off (I can still keep it covered), but now I have to deal with the broken pump until I get home (am at college until semester break) and can replace with an old small one I happened to just keep by chance (the one I recently ran out of is a bigger one). Maybe send it in something more protective than a bubble wrap envelope.

Great!
This moisturizer is great, the licochalcone in it really works at soothing your skin which will become dry from using the benzoyl. Also I personally love the yellow tint because it gives you some color/coverage. The ONLY reason I did not give this 5 stars is because I think it should be SLIGHTLY more moisturizing. Perhaps I have dry skin but I use 2 full pumps plus 10 drops of the jojoba to keep the dryness away. When I leave in the morning my face is literally glistening from all the oil lol! But throughout the day my face does absorb it. You will acheive the results they promise if you use this product and the jojoba is a great companion to customize it to your skin type.

Pretty good stuff
I want to rate this 5 stars as I have Daniel's other face products however it's not perfect. It gives my skin a cooling refreshing feeling after application however it doesn't fully hydrate my skin. I think it works differently for everyone as everyone's skin has it's own profile. I add six drops of Jojoba oil to it in the morning and 8 drops at night which significantly helps with flakiness. One thing I've figured out is that if I use just half a pump of Olay's moisturizer with SPF 15 in the morning and this product fully at night using Daniel's method, my face becomes fully hydrated and flake free over the course of a week. I highly recommend giving this technique a try if you still struggle with dryness and flakiness after using this.

Good moisturizer with hypoallergenic ingredients
This is a great formulation for acne-prone skin. My only issue is that it's a bit heavy to use under make up. One other thing I noticed is that when I received my shipment, the pump was already broken in and some of the moisturizer had spilled out. This made me a bit paranoid about contamination. Still, it's a great moisturizer if you are looking for something affordable that won't break you out.

Now I love it
At first I hated this. It seemed to sit on my skin. However, if you GENTLY rub it in for 60 seconds, all the dry flakes will come off and the moisturizer will sink right in! Also, it's NORMAL for it to sting after using BP. Stop complaining, guys. Any moisturizer will sting when combined with BP. It will eventually dissipate. If you wait the 15 minutes it helps and also if you apply a few drops of jojoba prior to the BP it lessens the stinging.
