I received a sample of this to try from Butterly, which is great because I am always on the lookout for new products to help my skin, especially when it comes to blemishes. Even in my 40s, I break out and I want my skin clearer and brighter as fast as possible. What I like is that unlike the other kinds of pimple patches out there, these are specifically bigger to target a larger area and contain a spot fading complex, including vitamin C to help brighten your skin. They are very easy to apply, they aren’t overly noticeable even though they are larger, accommodate a good portion of skin(depending on the size of the blemishes of course, but I used one with 3 blemishes), they don’t dry out on your skin and they stay on very easily overnight. Because it was a sample, I received 4, and as they tend to help more in the long term(around 10 days), I can only speak to the 4 I was able to use. I did start to notice a slight difference with the redness and discoloration of my blemishes, so using it consistently may certainly make a more significant difference and impact to the skin. However, I think it would be worth giving it a try as, for me, it didn’t hurt or bother my sensitive skin in any way and there was no downside, except for not being able to give a 10+ day use review.

Thank you Butterly and Aveeno for allowing me to try this body wash. I love the Aveeno family of products and this one is no different. It has a light lavender scent, which is very nice and I’m not even normally a fan of lavender. I was pleasantly surprised it really did have a relaxing, calming effect when using it. I really liked the pump-style bottle as you don’t have to fuss with it and 1-2 pumps is all you need. It lathers up nicely and left my body feeling soft and refreshed. It is soap free and dye free and as I have sensitive skin sometimes, it works really well with no irritations. I will continue to use this and absolutely recommend this to anyone who uses body wash. -

I received this product in exchange for my review, and it is a product I plan to keep using and recommend, especially to those looking for a moisturizer/sunscreen combo. I always forget about sunscreen on my face, so this is perfect for my sensitive skin. I have fair skin and this is a slightly tinted product, which blended perfectly into my face, and gave it a subtle sheen and more even tone. It doesn’t have an overpowering scent, it is very lightweight and it is not greasy. My only slight negative would be that if you don’t apply it quickly enough, it feels like it starts drying into the skin too quickly, like when you use a clay mask(only the drying feeling, it DOES NOT dry like actual clay). I didn’t find this to be a big problem however, as I like to add a little serum and secondary moisturizer into my mix, so if you have a similar routine, it will fit right in and goes on smoothly with other products. As I said, I would recommend this product, especially if you want the bonus of the sunscreen with your daily moisturizer. If you aren’t someone who uses a lot of makeup, the slight tint is also another bonus on those days when you don’t need/want a lot of coverage. Thank you, Aveeno. -

Thank you Butterly and Dap for letting me try out this product. It’s a great all weather sealant to have, which is a good asset, because once you’re done, you don’t have to worry about the weather destroying it. My husband and I are are very novice when it comes to DIY and this sealant made it easy to do one of our windows and our door. If you follow the instructions, which are extremely easy, and make sure you have a caulking gun, you’re set. It’s ready in 30 mins, there wasn’t any strong odor and it stays flexible. This is a good find for those who want an easy sealant fix and want to do it themselves.

While I was personally underwhelmed by this product, there are still some good characteristics. First, they come with 36, so you don’t have to worry about running out quickly. They aren’t too big, and are pretty clear when starting so they aren’t overly noticeable and they do stay on well. If you can keep it on and not touch it, then this product will be helpful in that way. Not touching it will allow the pimple to be able to start healing as you’re not introducing any extra bacteria by touching it or trying to pop it. So, in that way, it does work. My own biggest con— it didn’t do anything else. I used them at night and when I would get up to take it off, there was no difference to the size or redness of my blemish. I followed the instructions, I used them correctly, I had my partner try them as well, but for both of us, they did not have any effect, other than not bothering it, which for myself, I can do that without a patch. So, while there are some positives, this is not a product I would be buying again, unfortunately.

Thank you Butterly and Paderno for letting me try out this reusable silicone sandwich bag. I have nothing but positives for this review, with the exception of saying Paderno is doing themselves a bit of a disservice by calling this just a “sandwich bag”. I do believe it should be called a reusable silicone multi-use (food grade) bag, because that’s exactly what it is. It is oven safe, you can put it in your dishwasher, it is microwave safe and freezer safe. It has been perfect for all of my food leftovers, from pretzels, to a brownie and of course, sandwiches! I would buy another one of these bags and I absolutely recommend this product as it’s easy to use, easy to wash and easy to store away. -

I am so grateful I got to be a part of this Lancôme anti-aging skin care trial. It is amazing on my skin. The first time I used it, I noticed a difference. It looked brighter, with a subtle glow. I actually use it under my makeup, in addition to using it on its own, because I always get that extra brightness and shine. It is a triple serum, using Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C + Niacinamide and Ferulic Acid and it all comes out separately from the pump, to ensure you get all three. Using it over time, I noticed my skin looked a bit more even, it felt soft, it absorbs into the skin nicely and it has a pleasant smell. It is also gentle on the skin, as I have sensitive skin and I found it didn’t have any significant, negative impact. I really like the look of my skin after using it for a couple of weeks and I would definitely recommend this product for both those who currently use serums or those wanting to try it and not sure where to start. -

I got selected to try this product and though I know Aveeno and use their products, I had not heard of this one, so I was looking forward to trying it. Overall, I would recommend this. I get a dry, flaky forehead, so it really helped on that area; it was soothing and didn’t feel sticky or leave any residue, but I also moved away from my face. I have mild psoriasis on my elbows and knees and I found it really helped when my skin was feeling extra dry. I also had a minor bug bite irritation on my foot and it soothed it instantly. I feel like this worked all around wherever I needed my skin to feel a little less irritated. It is completely scent free and does work on sensitive skin, as I have. A definite future purchase and recommendation to everyone. -

Though I use Aveeno products, I had not heard of this one and was happy to be able to try it for free. I will say my one small con first, then move to the rest. It says for sensitive skin and I did find I broke out at the first few uses, but only very slightly and not enough to quit using it. Other than that, I would recommend this product. Some products say unscented and still have a slightly weird scent to them, but this one pleasantly surprised me and was completely unscented. Another happy surprise was the exfoliating part; when I put some in my hand, it has almost a light, milky texture so I thought surely this wouldn’t have exfoliating properties, but I was wrong! My face felt great- brighter, softer and smoother. I have now incorporated this into my daily routine and I will keep using this product, buy it again in the future and certainly say it’s worth the try to those who like a nice cleanse and exfoliation. -
