Pros:

Goes on easy

Cons:

Flakiness control is not as strong as the old formula
Takes longer to absorb
Still have minor problems with redness and shine

So I bought this stuff as soon as it came out, hoping it'd be as good as the old formula without the shine and redness the other formula gives me. I luckily still had some of the old formula, so I was able to compare the two over the last few months. What I found was that the new formula isn't as good on flakes, makes my face just as red (if not moreso) than the old formula, my face is still pretty shiny, and it doesn't absorb as well. So essentially, it takes longer to absorb and doesn't do as well on flakes. That wouldn't be too bad if it weren't winter time, when flakes are there worst... Needless to say, I've gone back to the old formula. Too bad I don't have an unlimited supply...they need to bring it back.

Lightweight.

The new formula smells bad and makes me breakout.

Please bring back the old formula! I loved it and my skin has never been more clear when I was using it. The new formula just doesn't work for me.

Pros:

-Goes on easily

Cons:

-Does NOT moisturize well
-Leaves Flakes
-Gave my skin some weird texture
-Requires more pumps than the previous moisturizer which equals more spending

I've been a 2 year Acne.org regimen user and when I heard there was a new moisturizer I was excited to try it out. However after using this product for about 3 months I could not stand it anymore. It left me more flakier and dry than ever before and because it requires more pumps than the previous moisturizer, it ran out faster. I then switched to a different moisturizer and my flakes instantly went away! But even then that moisturizer isn't doing as much justice as the previous acne.org moisturizer did. This moisturizer is a bad case of "If it works, don't fix it".

Pros:

-Moisturizes a bit

Cons:

-Not as good as the old formula
-Makes my skin congested
-Have to find a new brand

I was looking forward to this new formula the old one worked so well :(....very disappointing. I'm hoping Dan and the Acne.org team will listen to their clients and supporters' reviews and switch back to the old formula (even though it would cost more to do so).

Pros:

.....smells OK

Cons:

Made face more red
Didn't moisture or hydrate my face, left it flaky
Causes some breakouts
Doesn't apply as thinly as the old moisturizer

I liked the old moisturizer much better. I love the regimen but I do not love this moisturizer it has made me go back a few steps in progress! When I first started the regimen, this moisturizer wasn't out and I was using the old moisturizer and the regimen made it so that I would get maybe one pimple per month! it was awesome. but after they switched and put this moisturizer in I've been getting 4 pimples a week and I was wondering why I kept breaking out. And then I figured out that it was this moisturizer! I wish they would put the old formula back.

Pros:

sorry.....can't really think of any. i tried, really i tried.

Cons:

*i still experience a slight sting...anyone else??
*i use 2 full pumps and i have flaky skin a few hours later [that didn't happen with the old formula]
*takes FOREVER to absorb into the skin. which is really a pain when i'm in a hurry.
*cost more $$ and i don't like this formula as much
*feels gloppy on my face

BRING BACK THE OLD MOISTURIZER! It was cheaper, was better at moisturizing, felt better on my skin. I really miss the old moisturizer. I wish Dan sold/offered both so people could choose what they wanted. Why only one choice? why not both? new moisturizer: doesn't live up to all the "hype".

Cons:

-Doesn't moisturize
-Awesome mustard complexion

I tried to like this moisturizer. I really did. I've been on the acne.org regimen for 7 weeks now and have used this moisturizer (3 pumps with the recommended jojoba oil) every day, morning and night. I'm finally starting to see some, albeit small, results with the clearing of my acne, but the dryness from BP has gotten to a point where my skin's unbearable. I think I've given this product a fair chance but now I'm done with it. The bottom line is this moisturizer does not moisturize. The best it does is turn my already flakey skin yellow. Also, I tested this moisturizer on my neck and what a mistake that was. My neck broke out in an incredibly itchy, irritated as hell rash that I'm still trying to calm down. So far the acne.org cleanser and BP treatment have worked really well for me, but I recommend saving your money when it comes to this moisturizer. I wish I had.
