Acne.org : Moisturizer with Licochalcone (OLD)

Short story: It moisturizes too much until it leaves my face oily and full of slick as if I didn't wash my face in the first place. Long story: I started and still am using The Regiment. Everything is good about it except the moisturizer. There's just something about that isn't right. Maybe I'm not using correctly but if I were to put too little, my skin flakes and peels like a snake. If I put too much, there is less flaking BUT my face feels no different as before I started The Regiment; as in it felt like my typical oily face without washing. And sometimes it actually causes pimples to return! It would be great if it wasn't so thick like an inch of make up and the ability to apply it gracefully especially into nooks and crannies too completely moisturize the whole face. It's just my own opinion but I feel that moisturizer should make your face refreshed and cooling and hydrated and not leaving your face feeling oily and slick.

I don't know why it doesn't work welll

not a fan of the new moisturizer. you have to use a ton, it takes forever to absorb, and it leaves skin very dry and flaky. burns a ton when you put it on right after BP and stains shirts and white towels. I have switched to Cetaphil. Dan is usually great about this stuff, so I hope we have a solution in the coming weeks.

I didn't use the "old" formula, so I cannot compare. I came to this formula from a variety of commercially available moisturizers, and this is the one I have stuck with. Why? Simply, it doesn't cause more breakouts. None of the other sensitive skin-safe moisturizers I used left me feeling confident that they weren't contributing to my breakouts. This does leave a film on the skin. It shows up yellow under my fingernails if I scratch my face, and has stained my white pillowcases yellow. It also takes some time to absorb, so I can't apply it shortly before going out in public or I'll be all greasy-faced. It does sting when applied to dry skin; however, I find that the stinging fades quickly and does not produce any lasting pain. It also has not caused me any redness or visible irritation. It does need to be reapplied frequently to dry skin; I apply it up to three times over the course of the day, just to cut down on flakiness. In short, if you, like me, find that all else has failed, this lotion suffices. However, if I found another non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic lotion that was safe for acne-prone skin AND moisturized well, I would switch in a heartbeat.

I absolutely loved the old formula, so I had high hopes for this new one. I figured it could only get better, but boy was I wrong. I don't care for this much at all. I have a lot of trouble with flakiness, and the old formula almost completely controlled my flakes, but this new formula does almost nothing for them. I can only hope that Dan brings back the old moisturizer in a less expensive form than the 2oz bottles.

highly recommended, it does the job. it is better than the cetaphil moisturizer.

I follow Dan's regimen, minorly tweaked to my needs and have for about 7 years. It's the only thing that has ever worked. But this moisturizer is. B. A. D. I mean, just awful. As stated in the headline, it feels gross on the skin. The color makes you look ill. And it rubs off and turns everything else yellow. I assume it feels so icky because of all the oil, and yet it is not sufficiently oily or moisturizing to conquer the flakiness from the BP. I'm surprised anyone at all likes it, but hey, to each his own. What I find even more shocking is that more than half of people seem to really hate it and nothing comes of it. It's a shame really bc the regimen is truly great. It's changed my skin completely, but I had to find alternatives for half his products.

This moisturiser is so greasy, doesn't soak in at all and it makes my face a orange/yellow colour which makes me so self conscious! Not good at all! Trying to find a different moisturiser..

I totally thought it was the Bp causing my skin to get severely dry, flaky, irritating, and have this alligator feel. I stopped using the Bp and realized that I was still having these problems. My skin was pealing horribly, super tight, and irritated. I recently logged back onto my account to read reviews on this product and noticed many many others were having this same product. Not only were I having those problems, but this moisurizer left my skin very glossy and tinted yet my skin wasn't being "moisturized" at all! It's almost like the product was just sitting on top of my face, and took FOREVER to absorb if it did at all. I was just walking around looking a greasy mess all day. After applying the moisturizer my skin would burn sooooo bad, to the point I would have to take it off!! Now that I know it was the moisturizer causing me all these issues, it will most definately be tossed. By the way, my skin is very dry naturally, if any one out there could recommend an oil free light moisturizer it will be greatly appreciated.

I can't believe that I'm saying this about an acne.org product, but... this stuff actually makes me break out. I'm very aware of my acne and this stuff gave me pimples in areas that I never break out in. It did a good job at taking care of flakes but waking up to small white heads every day isn't a good trade off. Being that I've been using Acne.org products for almost 5 years now, I really wanted to like this moisturizer; but it just isn't a great product. This one needs help Dan...
