Pros:Complex 15 feels very smooth after application on skin. No smell.
Cons:I found this product a bit pricey for its size; however, in some discount store you may find it. There, I bought it for half price. ($3.00)
Bottom Line:Go get it!! Especially if you have a combination oily skin. I used to have an extremely shiny face during the day, but those days are over...thanks to Complex 15!

Pros:Glides on easily.
Doesn't leave skin looking greasy.
Clean, unscented type smell.
Cons:Doesn't work good at all for people with dry or peeling skin.
Price is high - $7.99 for only 2.5oz compared to Cetaphil Moisturizer which is 16oz for only $11.
Takes more than you would think, at least for dry skin.
Bottom Line:Overall, this product didn't work great at all for me. My skin is naturally on the oily side, but using Dan's BP has made it dry and peel on a daily basis, especially after showers at night it feels like I could barely move my face because it was so dry.

Thats where I thought this moisturizer would help, but it doesn't. I apply it, my skin feels moisturized, only when I come back 10 minutes later I have dry spots and am peeling. I apply more, but doesn't help because a while later I am back to dry, peeling skin.

All this was a problem until I tried Cetaphil Moisturizer. After just my 3 application my skin is not dry, not peeling (not even after my shower), and feels smooth to the touch.

In the end, I would only recommend Complex 15 for those with mild dry skin. But if you are on Dan's BP regimen, even with oily skin, Complex 15 will not be enough and you will have dry, peeling skin, unless you use Cetaphil that is!

Pros:Love this product! Have used it for at least 25 years now. New & improved packaging.

Pros:My 91 year old aunt uses it and looks great ... so I decided to give it a try.
Bottom Line:Some Costco stores sell it. It's in the pharmacy (behind the counter). Less than $5 for face cream, under $7 for the lotion.
Recommended:Yes

Pros:Free of mineral oil, lanolin, parabens, added fragrance or color, it's non-comedogenic and hypoallergenic; nice consistency, doesn't sting when applied directly after benzoyl peroxide.
Cons:Difficult to find (CVS is the only store I know of that carries it).
Bottom Line:Although it's called a face cream, the consistency is runnier than a cream, so it's great for combination skin. It feels rich enough to soothe my skin after applying Dan's BP gel, but it's not too heavy or greasy to worry that it could clog pores. It may seem a bit boring compared to other higher-end moisturizers, but it doesn't contain many of the harmful ingredients those other moisturizers may use to make them more appealing.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Nowhere Girl has used this item for about a week.

Bottom Line:Doesn't help acne.
Recommended:No

Pros:great consistency, feels soothing on my skin, I find it very nice for spot treating dry areas in particular, no fragrance
Cons:hard to find, not very much moisturizer in a tube, not particularly cheap for the amount
Bottom Line:I like Complex 15 Face Cream, and I definitely like it better than its cheaper cousin the Complex 15 Lotion. It's not a perfect moisturizer and might not be enough for someones struggling with extremely dry flaky skin, but for someone with moderate or mild dryness, I think it's very nice. It doesn't absorb as well as I'd like it to, but it absorbs better than the Complex 15 Lotion for sure. Don't let the "cream" in the name through you off, there's nothing creamy about it either, it's actually pretty thin and slippery as far as moisturizers go.
Recommended:Yes
Usage:cool as kim deal has used this item for a few months.
