Pros:

Light enough for day wear and under makeup. Moisturizes well.

Works great for AM use but will not be moisturizing enough for PM if you are on the Regimen. I don't think that's a problem though, I just use Cetaphil Moisturizing Cream (tub) at night and I don't have any flakes.

Pros:

Does not cause acne, very effective at moisturizing, not too shiny, unscented

Cons:

slightly shiny, makes my face have kind of a dull slightly plasticy look, burns if even a tiny bit gets washed into the eyes (e.g, when showering)

Good moisturizer if you want to avoid breakouts

Pros:

Fragrance free, non-comedogenic, goes in smooth

Cons:

Does not adequately moisturize my face

This product would be nice if you were not using DKR, or after you have been on the regimen for a while. For beginners who will be crusting and peeling alot, I do not recommend.

Pros:

I have been using this moisturizer for over 15 years when it was recommended by my dermatologist as I suffered from adult acne in my late 30's. It is light and dissolves easily. I remained faithful all these years. Could only find it at CVS until...

Cons:

CVS recently stopped carrying it. They seemed to have replaced it with Ceptaphil's new moisturizer, which I was forced to buy, when I couldn't find my old standby. I find Cetaphil's mositurizer to be sticky and bad for my sensitive skin.

Thank God for the internet where I have found the best product for my still oily, and sensitive skin again. I will now be purchasing Complex 15 by the half dozen to stockpile so that I NEVER have to suffer again!

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)

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.

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:

My 91 year old aunt uses it and looks great ... so I decided to give it a try.

Some Costco stores sell it. It's in the pharmacy (behind the counter). Less than $5 for face cream, under $7 for the lotion.

Pros:

Doesn't make me feel greasy after I put it on; doesn't cause breakouts.

Cons:

Not really a cream, more like a lotion: very liquidy and I find it doesn't absorb that great into my skin, sort of stays more on the surface.

I still use it as it does work (too expensive to throw away).

Pros:

Absorbs into the skin quickly, non-greasy

Cons:

The smell is not greatest

The best moisturiser I have ever tried. I have oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin, but this cream (more like a lotion, actually) goes on so light and absorbs beautifully into my skin. A little is enough for me with each application, but people with dry skin may need to apply a heavier layer - or reapply more often. The only problem I have encountered so far is its smell. I like that it contains no fragrance, but the smell takes some getting used to.
