Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

It's really unfortunate that the old moisturizer is no longer available. I don't use the regimen any more, but the moisturizer is something that I continued to use. Now, I'm afraid I will have to find something else, as I cannot justify continuing to buy such an expensive product when I'm not particularly happy with it.

I have been on the Acne.org regimen for 5 years. Dan's new formula is a turn for the worse. It does not moisturize and made my skin flaky very quickly after starting to use it. I stuck it out for a month or so to see if the flakiness subsided but it did not. I even tried putting a lot more moisturizer on than normal and that did not help. One thing I noticed while using this is that my skin feels extremely dry and tight after getting out of the shower. After switching back to Dan's original moisturizer formula for only a few days my skin feels very moisturized and flakiness has subsided and I no longer feel the dryness/tightness after showering. I cannot recommend this moisturizer at all and I hope Dan brings back the old formula or at least something comparable since I will not be buying the new formula again.

I love, love, love this product. I was using Cetaphil Moisturizer and then switched to this one. In comparison, it is so much better! It's very lightweight, 98% effective for controlling dryness and doesn't cause my skin to break out in any area. Cetaphil was too thick on my face and hard to absorb. I use this moisturizer in the am and Dan's AHA at night. I highly recommend this product!

The only way you will know if it works for you is to try it. Everybody's skin is different. Not every product will work for everyone. Just because something is non-comedogenic doesn't mean it will not clog you. Also, I have always had trouble with clogging whenever I use Jojoba oil on my skin.

No other moisturizer is better than Dan's new formula. Every other moisturizer, even the old formula made me oily and shiny but this one doesn't. It's perfect!

I was using the old moisturizer for about a year and was not satisfied with the stinging sensation I got. The fact it made my face look really oily bothered me too. When I switched to the new moisturizer, at first I felt it wasn't moisturizing enough and made my face feel tight. I had a ton of dry skin and flakes so i abandoned it and went back to Cetaphil. Well, a few months later, after reading some of the posts, I decided to give it another try, but this time I reduced the amount of BP (just 1 pump and used a ton of lotion (4 pumps and 10 drops of jojoba oil) at night. In the morning I would gently wash off the lotion and jojoba oil under the shower for no longer than 10 seconds without touching my face. I didn't use any cleanser, just water. After getting out of the shower I would very gently pat dry and then gently apply more lotion (1 pump) without the BP under it. I have been doing it this way for about a month now and the dryness and tightness has just about completely gone away. Also I have been able to keep the acne away. Luckily, 1 pump of BP is enough for me. Since I am using only 1 pump of the lotion in the morning, there is no shine whatsoever. The new lotion is actually very soothing and calming just like Dan says.

Obviously Dan is trying to help all of us by improving his treatments, so i think all of you need to calm down first and foremost. I just recently began using the regimen and it absolutely made my skin 1000% better (minus the cystic abscess on my right side but that was bound to happen anyway) it took away all of my previous whiteheads (30-40 a day) in under a week, it was a miracle, and made my skin look actually flesh colored again. But after a few days i noticed that the moisturizer wasn't helping me at all but making me look worse. PLEASE Dan for all of us go back to your original moisturizer or at least change the new one

I was so excited to get this product, because I thought it would keep me less oily. However, it did not work as hoped. Instead, it may have made the oily-ness worse. I know it made my face worse, as I am peeling like crazy AND have 3 huge lumps that I have never (even before the regimen) had in my life. This has all happened even though I have been on the regimen with all acne.org products for about a year without the flaky side-effects and huge zits. This has disappointed me so badly that I am stopping the regimen all together. It had worked for a few months incredibly, but now I feel it is doing far more damage than good. I am sick of slathering my face with this BP and not feeling like I can do anything without causing an intense break out. I am sick of letting acne take over my life. Instead, I am simply going to wash my face occasionally with Purpose cleanser and hope it works itself out soon. Nobody in my family had acne so maybe it was just a quick phase. I am a 22 year old male by the way if anyone is wondering. As happy as I was to get this product, I am a million times more upset with the results. Prior to using it, I had been almost 100% clear. To test this product, I did nothing but stuff at home for about a week to weed out any other variables. The only thing I changed was this moisturizer from the old one. Nothing else changed. I'm left with huge cyst like bumps under my eye that might heal by Christmas (it's September now). Can't wait for my interview, now that it looks like I got punched in the eye and bit by something large three times. Incredibly bummed and discouraged. Maybe this is just a sign telling me I'm better off without anything on my face...

I am going to start using cetaphil cream- lets see if this is another disappointing trial and error for stupid acne.

When I woke up this morning to smooth skin, just as I have the past week, I knew I had to write a review. I was apprehensive about receiving this new moisturizer because I'd heard so much negativity about it. "Doesn't take care of flakes!" some people declared. "Leaves my face tight!" others exclaimed. Well, I RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE! I have experienced absolutely ZERO flaking and tightness while using this moisturizer--and I only need to use one pump! My Juice moisturizer was too heavy and left my face oddly sticky in the morning and made my face look splotchy--I wouldn't dare use it during this day. This moisturizer is perfect for both night and day. Now you're probably saying to yourself, "No flaking? She probably lives in California!" In actuality I live in New York, and it's winter, and just three weeks ago my face was a flaky mess on Max Clarity! In addition, yes, this moisturize is yellow, and no, it hasn't stained any of my clothes or turned my face yellow. I still apply makeup under it. There was one day last week when I went running at night, with plans to do the night regimen afterwards during my shower. I sweated profusely on my face, and some of the moisturizer became unrubbed-in, if that makes sense, and showed up looking yellow above my eyebrow. Otherwise everything's been peachy--and did I mention I use this as an eye cream as well?
