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:

Did not break me out.
Very light, non greasy.

Cons:

Was not moisturizing enough for me... it felt like I was rubbing water on my skin. I would not use this again. Switched to Olay Classic Moisturizing Lotion for sensitive skin, which is excellent.

This would probably be good for acne-prone, oily skinned people who aren't seeking very much moisture. However, it did not do much for getting rid of BP induced flaking and it looked gross under my foundation!

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.

Pros:

I love it! Very Moisturizing but light in consistency.

Cons:

Hard to find. Order from the internet now.

I haven't be able to find it in local stores for about 1 month and I can sure tell the difference in my skin.

Pros:

It helped against razor burn really well. Helped smoothe out skin.

Cons:

It really didn't do anything for the acne. I broke out pretty bad about a week after use. My 3 year old niece grabbed my nose and commented on how greasy it was haha.

Doesn't help acne.

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:

Absorbs into the skin quickly, non-greasy

Cons:

The smell is not greatest

The best moisturiser I have ever tried. I have oily, acne-prone, sensitive skin, but this cream (more like a lotion, actually) goes on so light and absorbs beautifully into my skin. A little is enough for me with each application, but people with dry skin may need to apply a heavier layer - or reapply more often. The only problem I have encountered so far is its smell. I like that it contains no fragrance, but the smell takes some getting used to.

I have used the Canadian version of Complex 15, and the USA version which is so-called "Therapeutic", and I must say they are both amazing. The USA version hydrates better, and leaves the skin moisturized for alonger, but all in all, they both work amazing.

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.
