Pros:

- Doesn't break me out
- Light/Comfortable (depending on whether I mix jojoba oil with it)
- Fragrance-free
- Cost-effective

Cons:

- Not very good for day time use (makes me look oily)
- I have to order online

You have to put a bit of effort into this product because using BP has made this moisturizer (and all others that I own so far) a bit ineffective for getting rid of dry patches. However, to make it exceptional/heavy duty, I simply add jojoba oil (as directed on the site) and use disposable sponges to make sure the application is smooth across my face. :) I gave it four smilies(?) because I would not recommend this for daytime use. It gets me quite oily/shiny in a matter of a couple of hours.

Pros:

Decent moisturizer
Leaves matte finish
Non comedogenic
No smell

Cons:

No SPF

Best moisturizer I've found while on the regimen! Leaves a matte finish, so if you have oily skin this may be better then other moisturizers. If you have super dry skin, this might not be moisturizing enough but otherwise, it's awesome. Wish there was SPF though!

Pros:

Soothes skin, doesn't cause breakouts, reduces dryness caused by regimen, contains no parabens, lanolin or mineral oil.

Cons:

Not available everywhere, small bottle doesn't last very long.

I love this stuff! It completely calms my skin when it burns after the regimen. It's also very light under make-up. My boyfriend said it also helped with his razor burn.

Pros:

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion worked a lot better for me. I got them both at the same time and I liked the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion way better. I thought the CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion cost more at first but it is such a big bottle it cost less then this. This is still pretty good.

Cons:

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion is better.

CeraVe Moisturizing Lotion but this is still good.

Pros:

- Absorbs quickly
- Nice consistency
- Pleasant to use
- Cheap

Cons:

- Not very moisturizing
- Small tube size
- Does not reduce redness

I've been using this as a substitute for Olay since they changed the formula. Complex 15 has a nice runny, fluid consistency and it absorbs very quickly. It doesn't leave a shine and has a pleasant fresh smell. However, it is really not a very effective moisturizer. My skin isn't even very dry, but this cream makes little difference. In addition, the Olay was always good at reducing down redness caused by Benzoyl Peroxide, but this cream has no effect on redness. It's a pleasant cream to use, but it's not very helpful in tackling dryness and needs to be frequently re-applied. I would definitely avoid if you have very dry skin.

Pros:

Nothing added (no fragrance, tints, parabens...etc.), cheap, not greasy, doesn't clog pores.

Cons:

Not hydrating enough for very dry skin, no SPF.

I began using Complex 15 a little over a year ago. My derm recommended it for me when I was on accutane. It worked wonderfully to moisturize my dry skin! It didn't clog my pores and it didn't make me look greasy. However, 2 or so years after accutane, my skin has gotten increasingly dry! Only in the winter months, but God, winter feels so long! With that said, the Complex 15 just doesn't provide me with enough moisture when my skin is very dry. :( A few hours after I put it on, (I put it on at around 8:30 am) it dries out and I'm left with flaky skin again! If one has very dry skin to the point where if they don't use any moisturizer their skin is flaky and sore, I wouldn't recommend this. Or, I'd use something stronger during the day. Now, Complex 15 is great for when my skin is combo in the spring and fall as well as when I'm oily in the summer. I just wish they had different strengths so those with very dry skin could use this amazing product! Ugh...Nothing can be perfect can it? Also, there's no SPF included in this. It's so nice to be able to use one product without having to find an spf and a separate moisturizer! But, I've yet to find a good moisturizer like complex 15 with SPF included. If anyone has suggestions, PLEASE let me know by messaging me (kissme)!

Pros:

Reasonable price, no prescription needed, watery so feels like it's natural, works well to start, is light not heavy base, easy to apply, does not break me out, helps a lot.

Cons:

Does not last very long, has interesting smell to it, really does not do anything for dry skin over the long period of time.

This has been a great product to start with but as I am getting older, I need a moisturizer that will stick with me throughout the day. I do not wear makeup so I do need the protection and I am battling to find the right one without causing my skin to break out. Great stuff in a pinch!

Pros:

I have used this stuff for approximately five years. I have combination skin and in the Georgia humidity you'd think that using any moisturizer would make your face shiney and greasy- not this stuff.

Cons:

none

It is nonabrasive. I have noticed that many miosturizers still have abrasive material/ingredients. Some moisturizers actually dry out my skin rather than protect it. Needless to say, I have very sensitive skin. The product says what it does. It delivers all of the right moisture to the right places...even the delicate places around the eyes... I am 34 and people always mistake me for 25-27.

Pros:

Best moisturiser I have ever used! I ran out about a year ago when my drug store stopped carrying it. I found it on [link removed] and had to place an order. Without it my chin becomes very dry and flaky and I develop acne from the irritation.

Cons:

None. I love it!

Very light and non-greasy. It's like a miracle in a tube. Use it for a week at least two times a day and you will not be disappointed with the results! It may not look like much when you are applying it because it's more runny than your average face cream, but believe me it works so well!
