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

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.

Pros:

Very thin consistantcy, goes on smooth, doesn't have a fragrance at all! Didn't break me out too bad at all.

Cons:

It's not really helping with my extreme flakyness...in fact, I think it may be breaking me out a little. I may be putting too much on in that area because it's sooooo dry! Oh and for me, it didn't obsorb very well....it took a LONG time.

Use this if your face isn't too dry. It broke me out a little at first but then it was ok. This is a very good product for dry skin. It doesn't seem to work very well with extremely dry skin.

Pros:

It is immediately absorbed & works well under makeup. The first moisturizer I have used in 20 years that leaves no greasy residue. My skin's appearance and texture has definitely improved. it's even affordable!

Cons:

I have to purchase on-line ([link removed] & others) none of my local stores carry it.

This product is a godsend for me and my 40 y.o. acne prone combination skin.

Pros:

This product works very well. It has never caused any type of skin irritation or break out. My skin is much clearer and comfortable. No oily appearance or feeling! No weird smell either. I use Dove's Sensitive Skin bar to wash my face.

Cons:

None. This works extremely well and has help with my mild flakiness.

Cheap and works great. Has never caused a skin irritation or break out. CVS stores carry it for $6.99 near the Cetaphil products.

Pros:

This is the best product in the market, it's worked fantastically for my zit prone ultra-sensitive skin. Been using it now for 18 yrs.

Cons:

Now that I'm getting older, I do need a heavier moisturizer for the winter months. Not enough stores carry this product - recently moved overseas & wish I could buy this in the UK.

Complex 15 was recommended to me years ago by a dermatologist & it was the best piece of information ever given. All of my friends now use Complex 15 after using some of mine. If you can't stand a greasy face & want to be able to apply make-up straight away Complex 15 is the product for you! The new packaging is much improved - hated the old grey design, didn't do the product justice.

Pros:

It doesn't sting like some moisturizers and doesn't cause breakouts.

Cons:

Must be careful to apply enough or else I'll be flaky in spots throughout the day.

It's a great product for sensitive skin, like mine, which turns red and also breaks out easily. My skin is super-dry with BP, so I have to use a lot of this stuff to stay moisturized, but it's the best thing I've found for my sensitive skin.

Pros:

Absolutely amazing on ultra sensitive skin. Eliminates burning common to most moisturizers.

Cons:

You will need to apply this moisturizer throughout the day to stay moisturized, but it’s worth it if you have ultra sensitive skin.

If you have ultra sensative skin, this is a must. It won't burn your skin and cause redness like most moisturizers do.

Pros:

Not greasy at all. Has an elegant feel more associated with expensive skincare lines. Sinks right in. You feel like you can use a pretty good amount and not feel like an oil slick.

Cons:

Absorbs so well that drier skin will be initially begging for something more, particularly in the beginning of the regimin. After about a week, it really seemed to work better, as the flakiness started to subside. It's ideal for combination skin.

I have menopausal skin, and for those women who are familiar with this, you will be treating primarily your chin area for acne and the rest of your face and eyes can feel like a desert, with stupid breakout! You can't slather an oily moisturizer on, because it will just be rolling around your dry, flaky face anyway, so what to do? Treat the zits with BP (mostly chin), use the Complex 15 cream on those areas, and the rest of your face apply some lactic acid under the Complex 15. You'll see a marked improvement, but it will take a good week to get over the flakiness from the BP. This is a nice moisturizer, but if you have really dry skin, you'll need to layer it with lactic acid and/or jojoba oil, and be patient, your skin will become smoother and less acneic.

Pros:

Does not make me breakout!!!

Cons:

Not moisturizing enough in the winter.

This is pretty much the only moisturizer I can put on my face without worrying I will breakout. Which is such a blessing because I get dry skin. In the winter and I am now on Sprionolactone so it has not been moisturizing enough. For me it is hard to find, I have to order it off [link removed].
