For myself, I needed something that worked, didn't break out my sensitive skin, and didn't cost by the ounce like gold or caviar. Complex 15 Therapeutic Moisturizing Face Cream has been my best pick so far and I've been using it for years.
How it Works:
Complex 15 face cream contains phospholipids which helps your skin become moist again by binding water to it and it is good for dry, sensitive skin. It is fragrance free, noncomedogenic, and hypoallergenic. All this means that having no added scents will help sensitive skin not react by itching or redness and there is nothing added that would clog pores or create a reaction such as mineral oil, parabens, or lanolin.
Directions:
Use on the face as needed, which could mean several times a day. I also will use it as a body lotion at times though the company does make a Complex 15 body lotion. Complex 15 Therapeutic Moisturizing Face Cream is very absorbent leaving no greasy feeling on your face. You can put more than one application on at a time if you need extra moisturizing. It
doesn't seem to irritate skin that is being treated with prescription drugs like Retin A or Renova but check with your physician first.
Cost:
The cost of Complex 15 face cream is very reasonable for such a good product. Usually the face cream sells for around six or seven dollars for a 2.5 ounce tube that comes in a box. The body lotion is in a bigger bottle and sells for around 10 dollars.
Where to Find Complex 15:
The places I've found it are Eckerd drug store and at online drug stores. Sometimes online drug stores have specials that include free or reduced shipping so if you can't find it at the store it is worth ordering. It is usually on a lower shelf apart from the higher end beauty products. The box and the bottle are white with blue-green lettering.
Complex 15 Therapeutic Moisturizing Face Cream is one of the best "beauty" buys available. I would not change a thing about this face cream except to make it easier to find. It is also an excellent lotion/skin care product for men too.

Post a CommentIt's tricky when you are choosing a cream for your face. You want something that is gentle - the last thing you would want is a red, blotchy face. You want something that minimizes wrinkles. You want something that does NOT clog your pores - it doesn't do much good if your face lotion turns you into a hive of pimples. You want your skin to look young looking, fresh looking, without being oily.
First off, I REALLY like the fact that the Made from Earth "Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum" this is in a pump design. So many face creams are in "pot" designs that were used by the ancient Egyptians. Those designs were fine for Egyptians, but in modern times they just don't work well. Even if your hands are perfectly clean, once you put your fingers into the pot and then onto your face, now you have face oils and skin bits and such on your fingers.
The Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum has a nice, light texture and absorbs in quickly. I use this primarily on my neck area, as I want
After doing a lot of research - what I found out was so alarming! Expensive face creams have so many chemicals in it, that in the long run - it is probably not causing any benefits for my skin! AND, they don't contain any extraordinary ingredients - you can actually find the majority of ingredients can be found in CVS-Brand Moisturizers.
This drove me nuts.
For now with great results, I am using the Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum, from the Made from Earth product line, and I love the results I am seeing. I did research on all the ingredients and all of it is positive. I also now only use skin care that is organic ingredients . I have been using it for 1 month now, and this Vitamin Enhanced Face Firming Serum has already made m face tighter and firmer.
Highly recommended - their website is www.madefromearth.com
I'll have to check this cream out.
Nice work. Face creams can be so expensive, it is nice to read a good review before trying them.
