Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

I really liked the other moisturizer. It felt great going on and really moisturized my skin after applying the bp. The new moisturizer has not worked for me at all. My skin burns right after I apply the bp and burns for about a half an hour afterwards. After the burning goes away, I experience a slight itchiness all day. It seems like I'm having alot of the same symptoms as some of the other reviews. I also work up this morning with my eyelids being slightly swollen. Luckily the swelling went down after about a half hour. I'm not sure what the problem is. I figured that it would work really well for me becuase the AHA with lichochalcone worked so well. Maybe its something else in the product? Please bring back the other moisturizer or at least make two versions of the moisturizer the old and the new one.

DON'T BUY THIS IT DOES NOT WORK. I USE ALL OF DANS PRODUCTS, but this was an utter let down. I hope he brings back the old formula or does something else but this is a terrible product

i have almost the same story as others.i have been on regimen for a year now with excellent results.i mean perfectly clear.this summer i ran out of moisturizer so i ordered more.the same day i received the new bottle i had a bad reaction.itchy and burning feeling.so i thought i got a bad batch of the stuff.so i ordered another.while waiting for the new bottle to arrive i remembered i had a travel size of the moisturizer and thought i would try it.instant relief,i mean instant,just like it felt for a year.so i used the travel size until the other new bottle arrived a week or so later.so,hoping i received a bad bottle i was excited to try it.geuss what,same,burning and itchy again.horrible.i checked the ingredients and they are the same on both the old and new bottles but,something is different.i used up the old stuff with great results.now that i am out,i am trying other moisturizers.i am hoping there is a problem that dan can solve,becuase i like the cool calming feel i used to get.i believe they either added something or took something out or got some bad ingredients and it screwed up the last batch.here are the numbers of the batches i have that cause the reaction a5c49-1 exp 3/17 and a5a01-2 exp 1/17 my old bottle that expired in 2016 and 2015 were excellent.if you have the same reaction with the moisturizer check the exp date and maybe thats why you may have a bad reaction also.new batch is just terrible you can't use it.

I'm glad I only ordered a small bottle of this stuff to use with the regimen! It smells awful, seems like it never quite absorbs, has a yellow color that likes to stain, and leaves my skin feeling oily the next morning. I can't believe after all the negative press on this stuff, Dan or someone hasn't taken notice and continues to sell it unaltered! This moisturizer needs help, basically I think you guys need to start over, or bring back the old formula. Your other products work great Dan, listen to your customers! After all, we are the ones who support your business and everything. It feels like we aren't being heard about this.

I was not crazy about the new formula when I first tried it, but I was determined to give it a fair shot, and I'm glad I did. It took a couple weeks for me to get used to applying it so that it would absorb properly, and sometimes if I'm rushing I still have trouble. For the first few days I was tinted yellow and could feel it "sitting" on top of my skin not being absorbed. I even had lightly scratched my chin and gotten some under my fingernail (gross!). After trying different methods of applying it, I found a way that worked. I apply it slowly (1/2 pump at a time) and now, I don't have to use more than 1-1.5 pumps applied this way to get the appropriate use for my skin. I like that I can apply this over or under the SPF cream I use and it doesn't add to an "oily" look. I still had the old moisturizer in my travel case and went back and used it after using the new one for a month and realized I didn't like the old one as much as I had remembered. I'm actually happy that I didn't have the option to keep using the old one because I never would have given the new one a proper try. Another thing I noticed with the new moisurizer is I can skip a day or two of BP and use 2 full pumps at night and I will not break out. With any of the old methods I used, if I stopped the treatment (BP in this case) I broke out before morning. Also, with other lotions, if I use "extra" than normal my face will look swollen in the morning, especially under my eyes. I have never had this problem with this new formula. The reason I gave 4 instead of 5 is that it takes longer to apply and absorb and I do not care for the (light) smell of it (what I can guess is due to the licorice root). My strong suggestion, it to really try different methods of applying it and for at least a month. I wanted to give up after the first few days, but am glad I did not.

I haven't used the old moisturizer, so I don't have anything to compare to. But overall, I am thrilled with this whole system. I have had moderate acne for 20 years and this moisturizer is the only one I have EVER found that doesn't break me out. I have always had very oily skin, but the Acne.org BP treatment is very drying, and the moisturizer is perfect. My skin is not oily at all now.

-I recently did a 10% TCA chem peel, and used this horrendous product, and it DID NOTHING to moisturize my skin -as a result i was left with peeling, horrendous crocodile skin -I was saving a bottle of the old formula for emergencies, and I thought that this severely dry skin constituted as one -applied old formula, and HOURS later my skin still feels soft and supple, no flakes -Proves the pover of the old formula -also my mother tried it, she has the skin of a baby (perfect) and she says that this made her skin look old -DO NOT BUY!!!!! WASTE OF MONEY and WORSE, WASTE OF SKIN!

I need to switch to an other moisturizer, This one makes my skin feel extremly dry and flaky.

My problem with the old one was that it was not moisturizing enough without adding jojoba, and that it was way too greasy with it. Regardless, I used it for years. I'm just happy that there is a non-greasy and more soothing formula now. It's great by itself (I've generally not had to add jojoba), but it stays matte even if I do add jojoba. By far the best moisturizer ever. You've outdone yourself, Dan! Now what to do with my leftover old moisturizer...

I HATE IT ! the worst moisturizer ever! bring back the old formula or otherwise you will loose your customers. I'm still recovering from peeling and I know it broke me out because I used cleanse and BP from the regimen as usual. when I switched it to another moisturizer, skin went back to normal (well almost, still have some irritation it caused).
