"Although I acknowledge that the regimen works for many people, I disagree with Dan about certain things, like his insistance that moisturization the entire face, oily or not, is necessary.  Unnecesary moisturization can actually increase the risk of clogged pores by mixing with your skin's sebum and trapping dead skin cells to the skin's surface.  Dry skin should definately be moisturized, but oily areas of skin don't need it.  The exception to the rule is that daytime moisturizers, which contain sunscreen, should be applied all over the face because the damage caused by the sun is much worse than that caused by unnecessary moisturization.  Ideally you wouldn't continue using your astringent and your current moisturizer (assuming it is like the other Clean and Clear moisturizers I saw) because of the irritants they contain.Even though your skin may not seem irritated, if you apply irritants to your skin the damage is still taking place and is ongoing, so it adds up over time (Source: Skin Research and Technology, November 2001, pages 227-237).  Dove makes good facial moisturizers and sunscreens. \n"
