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:

Works well, like the feel of it ... not greasy. Doesn't take much of it to work

Cons:

A little pricey, but worth it.

Buy it! (I'm 52 and love it.)

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:

Didn't make my face break out.

Cons:

Ouch! For some reason this stuff burns really bad when placed over BP. Also, I find that when I apply it at night, in the morning my skin peels more than if I use nothing at all.

Didn't work for me.

A light lotion perfect 4 regimen if U don't like Dan's
I use Complex 15 DAILY. It's the same formula, that's just what it's called in Canada. I like this lotion, it's light and non irritating. There are a few ingredients to be concerned about but YMMV. For me the three ingredients over 3 on the so called scale (btw the comedogenicity scale is pretty inaccurate) don't bother my easily congested skin. With DK's Aha, this works perfectly.

Pros:

Extremely gentle, non-fragrant

Cons:

The very light texture is only a con for me during the cold, dry Canadian winter. Something a little richer would last longer.

I love this product's gentleness on my acne prone chin area. My regime is wash with "Spectogel for sensitive skin", apply "Complex 15", and then, the last step, apply BP 8% to problem area. "Complex 15" is very light, and it penetrates the skin quickly. I only wait a few seconds before applying my BP 8%. Someone suggested in a previous review that the USA version of "Complex 15" is different than the Canadian. I tested both, and found absolutely no difference. It's cheaper in the USA though. Complex 15 is so light I use it around my eyes too.

Pros:

Love this product! Have used it for at least 25 years now. New & improved packaging.

Cons:

Someone might have difficulty finding it at the store.

Have always been told that I look younger than I am. Good genes certainly help but I really swear by Complex15 face cream!

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.
