Definitely my favorite moisturizer. I liked the AL SPF 15 Facial Moisturizer (regular, not oil free) but this is better still. I can only assume that it's the salicylic acid and vitamin A that really smooth my skin and give it a nice glow. Though it's not oil free, it's never caused me to break out, probably due to the 2% salicylic acid. Nothing makes my skin look better and while it does make my skin a bit shiny after a few hours, I just wipe off the excess oil and apply a bit of toner mid day and evening and my skin looks great as a result. The best moisturizer I've used to date.

I am an ingredients- and performance-oriented consumer, and after going through my first two tubes/bottles of this treatment, I can say that this product really delivers on both fronts.
Performance-wise, Anthony's Vitamin A Treatment is probably the best overnight moisturizer that I have used. I noticed results on probably the third or fourth application, and when I wake up in the morning, this stuff seems to have done exactly what it says it does. My face really looks rejuvinated, exhibiting a more youthful glow, a more even tone, and overall "quenched" appearance. As the reviewer "John" stated, it is not an oil-free moisturizer, but I have not once noticed a breakout as a result of using this product, and by now I trust it enough to use it, even when I have a pimple or two already. I have combination skin and am in my mid-20s (using more as a preventative measure at this point), and I still have a few occasional pimples (I have acne-prone skin, and until recently, I had a mild case of acne every once in a while). To be honest, I think that the vitamin A and squalene are actually pretty beneficial to even the occassional pimple, since I've recently noticed that even pimples heal more quickly for having used this treatment every few nights.
I attribute this stellar product's performance to its results-producing formulation--that is, the ingredients. The vitamin A polypoptide, carrot root, and retinyl palmitate make sure that vitamin A really does do what it's supposed to do: promote faster cellular turnover and encourage old skin cells, which otherwise can lead to clogged pores or a dull appearance to the skin, to slough off). The moisturizers in the product--namely, the cyclomethicone, caprylic/capric triglyceride, glycerin, squalene, shea butter--are all great choices, esp. the squalene and shea butter. My only gripes are the use of triethanolamine and a few preservatives, such as methylparaben (though what non-organic companies DON'T use these preservatives nowadays?). While I'd prefer a fragrance-free formula, at least Anthony lists the fragrance far down the list of ingredients (which means that it is a sparingly used ingredient and minimizes the risk of irritating or doing damage to my sensitive skin).
I use this product two or three times a week at night, and sometimes mix it with other treatments. Alba's Oil-Free Green Tea moisturizer (which I use as an overnight moisturizer) comes in a close second as far as overnight moisturizers go, though it is meant to be a day moisturizer, is not marketed towards men, and is intended as a moisturizer more than a "rejuvination vit. A treatment." Behind these two moisturizers, I sometimes use Baxter's Night Cream (which has glycolic acid but is rather heavy and greasy for already-oily or combination skin), although I've noticed that more than weekly use of the Baxter Night Cream *will* induce a few pimples. Still, in tandem with gentle products like ClearSkin Regimen's acne treatments, I can usually even mitigate the greasy effects of Baxter's Night Cream.
All in all, though, this product really is a find. With such a steep price, I hope I can continue to afford it (each $35 tube lasts be about 7 months if I use it only about twice per week) because the results for my skin type really are very good.

I forgot to mention in my long review above that I believe the reviewer "John" may have been confused in citing salicylic acid as an ingredient. It is not listed in the packaging details, nor is it listed as an ingredient in the full list of ingredients. Just so everyone knows. (I for one do not like salicylic acid in concentrations higher than 1% because usu. it irritates my skin or aggravated existing blemishes and irritation.)
Again, though, this is a great product that delivers great results, even if the price is HELLA steep! I mentioned it before, but you should also check out Alba's Oil-Free Hawaiian Green Tea moisturizer (not on this site), which is really good for using in alternation or in combination with Anthony's Vitamin A Treatment. It also happens to be a lot cheaper (about $15 for 3 oz) and can help you make one tube of Anthony's Vit A Treatment last a lot longer!

I hope no one takes into account of the review above made my John. He like I, was mistaken of the package design. There is a product made by Anthony Logistics called Night time acne treatment, and prior to the re design of the package, which is blue now, it used to be the exact same bottle and design. Thus he made the mistake of taking this Vit. A treatment for the night time acne treatment.
