Pros:

No scent
Didn't irritate

Cons:

Doesn't moisturize
Extremely runny, not a cream at all
Makes my face feel tight
After 5 minutes felt like I never put it on in the first place

I really wanted this to work. It has great reviews. This product is very runny, runnier than regular lotion, and applying it to my face it felt like a gel which was gross. It absorbs fast but left my face feeling tight and dry and didn't help at all with my dry patches or anything. Every time I would use this it would leave my face feeling tight and dirty and I'd want to wash it off.

Pros:

doesn't burn or sting, non-greasy, smooth, no scent, calming, soaks into skin, perfect consistency

Cons:

none!

I have tried many moisturizers in the past (including DK's) and thought I had a good one (Oil of Olay beauty fluid) until I found Complex 15! I read the reviews on here and decided to try it. I found it at CVS for about $7. Being accustomed to buying Oil of Olay, this is not AT ALL expensive to me. Today, I applied it after washing my face. I skipped the BP for now b/c my skin is SO irritated and red from it. This stuff is amazing! For the first time in a LONG time, I was able to dab on concealer w/o my skin peeling and flaking right off. It is non -greasy and just feels good. It also soaks right in unlike some other moisturizers you have to really rub in. After it was all soaked in, my skin was glowing! I have skin that is extremely dry but also VERY oily and it doesn't look as oily as it normally does after applying moisturizer. An oil blotting sheet took care of it. I'm so glad I found this moisturizer - you've got to try it!

Pros:

Best moisturiser I have ever used! I ran out about a year ago when my drug store stopped carrying it. I found it on [link removed] and had to place an order. Without it my chin becomes very dry and flaky and I develop acne from the irritation.

Cons:

None. I love it!

Very light and non-greasy. It's like a miracle in a tube. Use it for a week at least two times a day and you will not be disappointed with the results! It may not look like much when you are applying it because it's more runny than your average face cream, but believe me it works so well!

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:

No breakouts, no scents, no irritation, cheap.

Cons:

Not always moisturizing enough for dry patches. Sometimes need to reapply. Can be hard to find depending where you live.

I switched to this from a richer moisturizer I was using due to the drying effect of topical acne lotions and Canadian winters. That rich moisturizer was great, but was causing me to break out and left my skin shiny. C15 leaves your skin much less shiny than other moisturizers, is light and sinks in quickly. No redness or stinging, very gentle. I buy the body lotion and use it on my face as well (it's the same formulation as face cream, just in a larger bottle, more cost-effective). Overall I really like this moisturizer because I know it'll never break me out, not irritating and leaves my skin glowy not shiny. If you like a super matte look you'll still need powder on top. For dry patches I use a richer moisturizer to spot treat rather than risk a break out by using it all over my face.

Pros:

I have been using this for years. First product ever that moisturizes without creating more acne. This is a huge deal for those of us with life long acne problems.

Cons:

It doesn't seem to come with any UVA/UVB protection.

It does create a little shine. Small 'price' for no zits. Easily remedied with a little powder.

It costs a bit more. It never lets me down.

Pros:

great consistency, doesnt make my skin oily, no breakouts!

Cons:

No spf, but clear skin is worth staying out of the sun.

Wonderful all around. I switched to this from cetaphil and my skin cleared within a week! It keeps my skin soft and works well under makeup.

Pros:

portable container

Cons:

breaks me out every time

Don't know why, but this gives me big, cystic zits. Sorry to rain on the review parade, but it really messes my skin up, and I've used the process of elimination to ensure that it is this--it is.

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:

Great moisturizer, no fragrance. Goes on smooth. No oily or greesy residue like Cetaphil leaves.

Cons:

I can only find it at CVS - before that I had to have my pharmacist special order it.

Great product!!!! It was recommended by my derm 10+ years ago and I still use it and love it!!!
