This does not burn my skin or break it out like most every other lotion I have used.It is a little runny when squeezed out of the tube, otherwise, it is well worth $7

Pros:

Not greasy. Absorbs into skin immediately. I have combination skin and it's also very sensitive. Non irritating. Affordable.

Cons:

no SPF

It was recommended to me by the Cleveland Clinic about 4 years ago for a good moisturizer and have been using faithfully ever since. I've een told I look much younger than my age. What's not to love about it.

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).

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.

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:

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:

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:

I am curious, I see people really like this product, I want to try it, but I need to know: are you using the face cream or lotion? This page is for the "face cream," but lots of reviewers mention the lotion, which they do make.

So which is better? Or are they the same, or what? Thanks.

Pros:

Fragrance- free, doesn't cause any new breakouts

Cons:

too light

It is great that it is fragrenece free and doesn't cause any breakouts but It doesn't adequately moisturize my skin even when I apply more of the product.
