Not as great as I thought it would be
People were praising this product for a while, so I gave it a shot - unfortunately, I found that it was way too light to accompany a regimen consisting of regular BP use. It didn't fight flakes very well, and given how runny it was, it was like putting water on the skin. The price is a bit much for the size of the tube, and how much you have to end up using. It was also surprisingly shiny, considering how thin and runny it is. I can imagine this would work well for people who don't use much in terms of topicals, and have only slightly dry skin - but if you need a good, solid moisturizer that will offset the drying effects of BP / topical retinoids / heavy exfoliating, go with something like CeraVe or Aveeno Daily Moisturizing Lotion.

Pros:

- Nice consistency
- Unfragranced
- Good moisturization
- Non-comodegenic

Cons:

- Leaves a residue on skin
- Makes my skin feel oily
- Makes my skin shiny

This stuff is okay. It provides good moisturization and helps keep my skin soft. It works well at getting rid of flakes and makes my skin nice and soft. However, it is a bit greasy. I can feel it on my face and it never fully soaks in. At the end of the day I can see a visible shine on my face.

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:

portable container

Cons:

breaks me out every time

Don't know why, but this gives me big, cystic zits. Sorry to rain on the review parade, but it really messes my skin up, and I've used the process of elimination to ensure that it is this--it is.

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:

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.

Pros:

It goes on smooth and my skin absorbs it pretty well.

Cons:

It dries my skin out most of the times. I try to reapply it throughout the day but it doesn't help. I use it in combination with the Neutrogena on-the-spot and I have seen some improvements but not enough for me to stick with it.

I have been using Complex 15 for over 2 months now and it has done some good for me but overall, I am looking for something better. In conjunction with on-the-spot, Complex 15 does not keep my face from drying out and my skin from peeling. I think I have given it enough time to see that it doesn't work for me and will be switching to the Fruit of the Earth 100% Aloe Vera Gel.
