This is a nice serum, I really like the consistency. The serum has some thickness to it and it is very easy to spread. It has a slight scent to it, but it smells common to other fragrance-free serums - natural smell. This serum is semi-fast absorbing and leaves your skin very hydrated. My only issue is that it is not super hydrating and I feel like I need a heavy cream over it to give it some boosting effect. Overall I do like it, but for the price, size and effectiveness, I would expect more!

I’m not sure if it was not absorbing well with my skin because it was too dry, or if it was the serum itself. The consistency was close to water, but a little more thicker. It is a very interesting consistency where it dropped on my face like water but it was harder to spread and when I was spreading it on my skin, it went from wet to absorbed really quickly. I need to add more than 3 drops, maybe 5 drops for it to spread smoothly. I didn’t experience any instant smoothing, but I did feel some hydration. Overall, the ingredients are clean, the packaging is beautiful, great for sensitive skin, no scent and has some hydration effect. It is really good under my creams and it helps boost the effects of the cream! On its own I would not use it, but with other creams on top, this is a nice booster.

Usually Aveeno products are good for me, but this one was a little different. It is a super light gel moisturizer that is like a cream to relieve some dryness. For me, even with dry skin, the formulation did not absorb quickly on my skin, it took a long time for it to absorb. It felt like a thin water gel that you really have to rub in. It did feel a little sticky for a few minutes after, but if you wait longer, it will feel like it finally absorbed. The moisturizing aspect is nice, it moisturized my skin and lasted all day. This is great for daily use and on the plus side, it is unscented! -
hello super fresh mouthwash

I like how it is alcohol-free, but I find the bottle a little too flimsy. I really do not like the bottle, it is super thin and hard to hold while opening the cap. The color of the mouthwash is a tad off putting as well (milky white), but it does the job! It has the same bite as other known mouthwashes and it leaves your mouth feeling very fresh. While it performs the same as others but with natural oils, the flavor did not go well with me, it was spearmint but with an earthy undertone, or herbal or something of that sort (bitter). Overall, it was nice, but the packaging could be worked on and spearmint was not able to mask some undernotes. -
hello® super fresh + whitening fluoride free toothpaste

This was super interesting for me, at first I was thinking, what is the point of having a moisturizing hemp seed oil toothpaste.. Why would I need moisturized teeth? Well, I was in for a surprise, it was a nice paste and it felt like my teeth were getting a good scrubbing AND polishing. I think the oils left my teeth feeling “moisturized”, or rather, nicely polished? I didn’t really like the slight bitterness of the paste, but overall, it was interesting and I would use it again. -
Fleecy Pure Balance Liquid Fabric Softener, Rosewater

This fabric softener has a very “natural” look to it as there are no dyes, parabens or phthalates. Of course, with no dyes, it is a milky white color. They market it as a nature-inspired blend of fragrances softener, but I honestly hate the smell. It does not go well with my detergent and it is way too strong for my liking. It is extremely floral smelling and again, strong. I would say though, the softening aspect is good! It left my clothes very soft and huggable. Overall, scent is very important and I think a softener without fragrance might have been a better experience for me. -
YSL LOVESHINE LIPSTICK

This color is gorgeous, it is a lot lighter than my lip color and despite how translucent it is, it is very buildable and shows on your lips. I love how it is buildable, I was able to wear it with 1-2 layers and it was the perfect shade for me. With 3 layers, it was a little too light and clashed with my skin tone. It is a cool-pink tone in my opinion. Overall, the application is smooth, for a glossy lipstick, it was nice and firm, no fear of breaking the stick. -

Wow, I really like this product. Steroid-based eczema treatment creams/gels work really well when it does, and when you stop using it, it is an absolute mess. Aveeno's Eczema gel cream is really amazing and it is absorbed super quickly to my eczema patches. I did not leave any tackiness or oil after it was absorbed and it really helped with the soothing the spot down. I don't have severe eczema and can't tell if this would help 100%, but I have some breakouts near my neck and inside elbows where this really helped me out. I would highly recommend this to people with ultra dry skin to mild eczema. -

AVEENO is honestly such a holy grail for me. This product is no different. Right now, I have really dry skin due to the changing of weather/humidity and it is very itchy. Using this product daily has relieved the dryness and itching. Of course, not new to Aveeno; the no fragrance aspect is always a winner! I love how it is naturally scented and fast absorbing leaving no oily residue. This is a must have!! -
PanOxyl PM Balancing Renewal Moisturizer

I can’t say I love this nor can I say I hate it. There is nothing really special about this moisturizer other than it is great for sensitive skin. My only concern is the scent? It’s not a fragrance, but it does have a scent that is noticeable but goes away when applied. It is also very thin/lightweight and dries a tad tacky. Overall, it does leave my skin feeling hydrated in the morning after applying it at night, but I wouldn’t say it is a cult favorite.
