Bring Back the Old Formula
The old formula was so much better and it was really unfortunate that I ordered two bottles without being aware the formula changed. The new one smells bad and the texture is really weird. I feel like it doesn't moisturize as well as the old either. I really hope you bring back the old formula because it was the only moisturizer I could use that actually left my skin hydrated without breaking me out. Disappointed that I may have to find a whole new brand to use.

Dan we are still waiting for updates on when you will be bringing back the old formula. I am struggling to find a good moisturizer. Please can anyone recommend a good moisturizer to use since this new white one doesn't work anymore

Leaves skin tight/dry
Since the formula change, I've been strictly using this on my body. It works well for that purpose. Every couple of months, I (erroneously) try to use it on my face and wow, I get a quick reminder why I stopped using it. Leaves my skin very tight, even when I put it over a layer of jojoba oil. Really hoping that the formula changes, and am grateful that Daniel Kern is listening to his customers. I've been using the face wash for over 10 years and really want to go back to using the moisturizer.

Please consider offering the old formula
The old formula was way better. I would love if you offered it again.

Please bring back old formulation
This used to be one of the few things that soothed the nerve pain in my husband's hands (non-diabetic idiopathic neuropathy), and the new stuff is instead irritating. Please consider offering two different products, something like "Standard" and "Intense Soothing." I realize it's more complicated to offer more products, but the previous formulation really was special (and going by other reviews on here, I'm not the only one who thinks so). The new formulation is fine for me, but again, it's nothing special, and I'd just as soon get something from a drug store.

I hear everyone that you want the old formula back. I'm back in the lab seeing what I can do to improve things. However, my mind is still absolutely boggled at this reaction to the moisturizer since I changed the licorice root. That's all I did. Just switched out .1% of the formula for .25% of another ingredient. It shouldn't be causing irritation or issues. It can always seem like a product that changed is causing problems, but you might want to look at other things that might be causing irritation. It just doesn't make sense that it would be the moisturizer. Not enough changed to make a big difference. Having said that, I hear you guys, and I am in the lab working on a new moisturizer that should hopefully be even better.

Thank you Dan. I used your product for years and I enjoyed using the old yellow moisturizer. It made my skin glow and I didn't have any irritation or acne. As soon as I started using the new moisturizer I started having acne again and my skin reacted bad. It never really sat well after using step 2. I am glad you are hearing everyone out and considering bringing back the old moisturizer.

Dan the new formula is great! I wouldn't change it a bit. I think it's likely that other issues are causing all the problems of these people leaving bad reviews.

Disappointed 😔
This website and regimen was a lifesaver when I was in the throes of some of the worst acne of my life- out of desperation I went on an internet deep-dive and came upon Acne.org and the information within it and the products that were offered helped me tremendously. I've been a loyal customer since 2012 and have always loved the products, especially the moisturizer. I'm not the kind of person that feels compelled to leave reviews, but after using this product for so long and noticing the recent changes, I now feel compelled to do so. I was surprised with my last shipment to receive an insert mentioning the change to the moisturizer because of complaints that the yellow in it stained. I personally in all these years have never experienced that, and was surprised the formula would be changed because of something minor (in fact, the BP, for me, stains/bleaches way more than the moisturizer ever did!) But the insert assured that the formula is the same, just without the yellow, and so I moved on with my day. A week or two later when I finally had to use the new bottle though, I was really surprised at how different the moisturizer seemed. At first I thought I accidentally grabbed more of the BP, because when I started putting it on it had the same consistency and OH MY GOSH, the burn! I thought the burning was because I'd put on double the BP, but after I wiped it off and double checked that I was now putting on the moisturizer, the same stinging burn was there! It stayed like that for weeks until after each application (it would subside once dried), but then, I don't know, my skin eventually calloused to it? The smell is not at all pleasant either, and the consistency is so much thicker than before, it doesn't feel the same putting it on, and I feel like I have a mask on for some of the day because of it- the original formulation was so light and absorbed so nicely, this one just doesn't have the same qualities. I know in business it is impossible to make everybody happy, but this seems like more than just a color-change issue- I'm not sure how essentially just a color change could effectively change so many other properties of an otherwise perfect product. I know that any change to product can be a time-consuming and expensive endeavor, but I hope that these reviews are taken into consideration when moving forward. I have always loved these products, and will continue to use this new moisturizer for a time, but unfortunately I am already on the lookout for a comparable moisturizer elsewhere that doesn't do to my skin what this new one does.

New formula is disappointing

The old formula for this lotion was absolutely perfect for my oily, sensitive skin. This new lotion is thick and heavy, my skin does not absorb it well.  I wake up with clogged pores on my forehead and cheeks now. I’m so disappointed and have had to start looking elsewhere for something that will work.

Too bad…

I?ve been using this for A LONG TIME and like others I have to make a review.  Dan, your regimen has been the only thing that?s ever cleared my acne!  The moisturizer was thin and absorbs well!  I wasn?t ever afraid to put more on.  This new bottle (bought last month) is white in color, thick like Cerave moisturizing cream, and it feels very heavy on my skin.  My skin feels like it has a layer of film on it and the product pills in the morning (balls up) when I wipe my finger across my face.  I?ve got horrible cystic acne in places I don?t normally have (my neck, middle of cheeks, by ears near hairline) and a red rash near my ears (see picture).  I only ever use the Regimen and the moisturizer is the only thing that?s different.  Also, has anyone else noticed the awful smell?  I tried to ignore it, but it smelled like liquid fermenting at the bottom of a trash can when I first opened it.  It makes me sad to see so many negative reviews, and even more sad to write one.  Dan!  Please change it back!  You?ve helped countless people struggling with acne MYSELF included!  I want to cry because this is the only thing that has worked for me and now I?m thinking about tossing it in the bin.

not what I expected

I will start off saying I do not know how the old formulation compared to this one. However, one thing I do like about this moisturizer is that it does not irritate skin or cause any breakouts. That being said I am older with oily skin and even I don't find this formulation to be hydrating enough. Even with adding the additional jojoba oil drops or the Vinchy 89 hydrating serum. Since I almost 30 now I understand that with acne products if you use them you need something very hydrating to counteract that. Even with oily skin type and adding in the additional hydrators to help its still not moisturizing enough. I feel like the moisturizer is not a dud but something could be added to really amp this up, there are so many products on the market.

Not the best

Hello, so almost a year ago I had purchased the acne.org regimen and before it had 10% benzoyl peroxide and my face would really dry up. So when I’d apply the moisturizer (as directed on the pan flip provided) my face would get really dark like a tan. So I’d always use a little bit of moisturizer which suck for a while until my face got use to the product, I didn’t really use it. However the rest of the products help with my acne.
