Pros:

- Nice consistency
- Unfragranced
- Good moisturization
- Non-comodegenic

Cons:

- Leaves a residue on skin
- Makes my skin feel oily
- Makes my skin shiny

This stuff is okay. It provides good moisturization and helps keep my skin soft. It works well at getting rid of flakes and makes my skin nice and soft. However, it is a bit greasy. I can feel it on my face and it never fully soaks in. At the end of the day I can see a visible shine on my face.

Pros:

Light, non greasy. Excellent for summer use here in the humid South.

Cons:

Too light for use in the winter in cold climates.

It's the only one that doesn't look greasy on my oily skin. Works great w/the Regimen. Olay Sensitive gave me milia. Neutrogena Oil Free Moisture didn't clog my pores, but made my face greasy. Complex 15 is a winner!

Pros:

moisturizes excellently without making my face oily, cheap, a little goes a long way, doesn't make me break out, no annoying smell, helps with the slight dryness that the regiman causes me.

Cons:

none, really!!

i would deffinatly reccomend this product to people who either have normal or oily skin, cause this is wonderful!! it takes care of the few flakes i get from BP, and makes my skin so smooth and hydrated!! i love it!! i can also get it at my local drugstore which is like five minutes away from my house! but this is part of my PERFECT regiman that i have come up with: -CeraVe hydrating cleanser (best cleanser i have EVER used in my life!) -Dan's BP (of course, cause its the best, duh!! :-D) -complex 15 moisturizing face cream (can't live without it!) -Dan's AHA (for the occasional unde-the-skin zit!) trust me people, i have searched for YEARS and YEARS for the right regiman and i finally found perfection!!!! i love all these products and reccomend them to realativily anyone!! even my MOM uses the CeraVe cleanser and loves it!! so give them a try if you haven't already!!

Pros:

Soothes skin, doesn't cause breakouts, reduces dryness caused by regimen, contains no parabens, lanolin or mineral oil.

Cons:

Not available everywhere, small bottle doesn't last very long.

I love this stuff! It completely calms my skin when it burns after the regimen. It's also very light under make-up. My boyfriend said it also helped with his razor burn.

Pros:

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion worked a lot better for me. I got them both at the same time and I liked the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion way better. I thought the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion cost more at first but it is such a big bottle it cost less then this. This is still pretty good.

Cons:

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion is better.

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion but this is still good.

Pros:

Did not break me out.
Very light, non greasy.

Cons:

Was not moisturizing enough for me... it felt like I was rubbing water on my skin. I would not use this again. Switched to Olay Classic Moisturizing Lotion for sensitive skin, which is excellent.

This would probably be good for acne-prone, oily skinned people who aren't seeking very much moisture. However, it did not do much for getting rid of BP induced flaking and it looked gross under my foundation!

Pros:

- Absorbs quickly
- Nice consistency
- Pleasant to use
- Cheap

Cons:

- Not very moisturizing
- Small tube size
- Does not reduce redness

I've been using this as a substitute for Olay since they changed the formula. Complex 15 has a nice runny, fluid consistency and it absorbs very quickly. It doesn't leave a shine and has a pleasant fresh smell. However, it is really not a very effective moisturizer. My skin isn't even very dry, but this cream makes little difference. In addition, the Olay was always good at reducing down redness caused by Benzoyl Peroxide, but this cream has no effect on redness. It's a pleasant cream to use, but it's not very helpful in tackling dryness and needs to be frequently re-applied. I would definitely avoid if you have very dry skin.

Pros:

Nothing added (no fragrance, tints, parabens...etc.), cheap, not greasy, doesn't clog pores.

Cons:

Not hydrating enough for very dry skin, no SPF.

I began using Complex 15 a little over a year ago. My derm recommended it for me when I was on accutane. It worked wonderfully to moisturize my dry skin! It didn't clog my pores and it didn't make me look greasy. However, 2 or so years after accutane, my skin has gotten increasingly dry! Only in the winter months, but God, winter feels so long! With that said, the Complex 15 just doesn't provide me with enough moisture when my skin is very dry. :( A few hours after I put it on, (I put it on at around 8:30 am) it dries out and I'm left with flaky skin again! If one has very dry skin to the point where if they don't use any moisturizer their skin is flaky and sore, I wouldn't recommend this. Or, I'd use something stronger during the day. Now, Complex 15 is great for when my skin is combo in the spring and fall as well as when I'm oily in the summer. I just wish they had different strengths so those with very dry skin could use this amazing product! Ugh...Nothing can be perfect can it? Also, there's no SPF included in this. It's so nice to be able to use one product without having to find an spf and a separate moisturizer! But, I've yet to find a good moisturizer like complex 15 with SPF included. If anyone has suggestions, PLEASE let me know by messaging me (kissme)!

Pros:

Light, absorbs quickly, good for when you want something guaranteed to be grease-free

Cons:

I had to use a ton of it. One application wasn't enough.

Even though it had great absorption and didn't make me feel greasy, that was trumped by the fact that I had to apply 3 or 4 layers before my skin stopped feeling dry. Even then throughout the day, I felt dry again. Especially when using BP, I don't think this is a feasible product. I think it'd be great in the summer time for when I want something light, and not using acne meds that dry out my skin, but in the fall or harsh PA winters, it just didn't work out for me.
