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:

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:

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:

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).
