I’m already so in love with PanOxyl pimple patches and was totally excited to try the PanOxyl Benzoyl Peroxide Cream 4% Acne Treatment Wash (for face and body) FREE thanks to Butterly!
An Acne Wash for Face and Body that helps to remove dirt and oil, unclogs and minimizes the appearance of pores. It has a creamy texture that kind of turns into a gel-like consistency as you massage it into your skin. It does not foam up like usual cream cleansers but leaves my skin feeling so clean and SMOOTH. It’s very gentle on my skin but also I make sure to moisturizer after this.
Also, did you know you can use this on your underarms to eliminate odour? That’s because the reason our arm pits get smelly is because the bacteria that live on our skin love to eat our sweat, it’s this bacteria that produces bad odours. But guess what.. That bacteria is not resistant to Benzoyl peroxide. So even if you don’t suffer from acne, you may wanna grab this if you’re a stress sweat kinda gal-or man!
And Yes, stress sweat is a real physiological response which differs from sweat of physical exertion, where your apocrine glands release a protein and fat-rich sweat in response to stress, anxiety, or fear. This "stress sweat" is odorless when produced but can develop a strong odor as bacteria on the skin break down the fatty components, making it smell worse than regular sweat.

This was my first time using any product from Neostrata and I did receive this free from Butterly. I looked up the product and read about it as soon as I found out I was receiving it and wow! Super excited about the ingredients.
This is an updated formula which now includes Neostrata’s MicroDiPeptide229® which is a breakthrough peptide that targets five components of the skin matrix (like collagen, elastin, hyaluronic acid) and is much smaller than typical peptides for superior delivery and performance helping create a more sculpted, lifted appearance.
It also includes NeoGlucosamine (gently exfoliates and brightens), NeoCitriate (boosts collagen synthesis to firm skin), Pro-Amino Acid (supports the skin's volumizing matrix for lift and structure), Bakuchiol (mimics retinol's collagen-stimulating effects without irritation) and VitaminE (provides antioxidant protection to combat environmental damage).
I’ve been using the Neostrata Triple Firming Neck Cream for a short time and while it's too early to judge long-term firming, I've already noticed a softening in my horizontal tech neck lines just after 2 days!
I know these kinds of products need time to show real results so I may update this later with my before/after photos. The clinical results claim visible improvements in firmness and tone within 2-16 weeks so I'm looking forward to seeing how it performs with more consistent use.
But truly, I did experience some immediate effects such as noticeable softening of horizontal lines within days, how smooth and hydrated my neck felt right after application. It is a thick and rich cream yet does not leave any greasiness at all! I love the airless pump!! Protects product from air exposure and keeping all those amazing ingredients I am excited about effective longer!

The kids in my household love their action figures.. We received the Green Lantern and they loved it but were a tad confused as why an extra arm came with it. I explained to them when you collect and but the others it builds a separate figure. They thought that was cool but bummed out that we didnt have the rest. I think this is super smart on the toy company’s behalf as it has the children asking for all the other figures now. Im not necessarily mad at that from a business point of view but I can totally see parents being a bit ticked off at this lol. The figure itself is very well made and the kids love that the smaller size can fit in their backpacks and take their little Green Lantern buddy around with them. This concept of collecting the extra pieces is great for collectors and huge DC fans. -

Lubriderm Advanced Therapy Moisturizer:
I love that it can also be used on hands too. Delivers on its non-greasy promise and totally not tacky at all either! Absorbs into skin nicely and quickly allowing me to not have to wait forever to get dressed. Love the way this feels on my skin! Left my skin feeling smooth and hydrated. Also soothed my dry itchy skin and felt like it was protected.

I’ve waxed my brows my whole life no problem but in the past 2 years I noticed my skin can not handle it anymore. I’ve always used the same professional brand of wax but all of a sudden I started having serious bad reactions out of nowhere. Plucking would take forever, so I resorted to dermablading them but putting an ultra sharp microblade to that thin area of skin was scary. I didn’t feel comfortable maintaining my brows this way so I kept putting it off which left my brows to grow out into a mess. Ugh! I didn’t know what to do, so when I got accepted by Butterly to try Finishing Touch Flawless Brows for free in exchange for my honest review I thought, omg this just might be the answer I need!
First, let me start off by saying, it does not tug and really is completely painless.
The first time I used it, my brows were fully grown in (longer hair) and the device had trouble “picking up” the hair. It took awhile and I had to keep going over the same spot so many times to finally have it eventually grabbing hairs. This absolutely did not irritate my skin at all but was tedious. After awhile the job was done. So yes, it did do what it’s intended to do but with a lot of effort.
I then thought maybe it would work easier when they start to grow back in. Maybe the shorter hair sticks out more than the longer hairs (laying flat against the skin) ..making it easier for the device to grab? So I did it again with the new growth and it was a bit more easier and quicker.
This is a GREAT option if you are highly sensitive or get bad reactions to waxing but keep in mind you’ll have to put some work into it…passing over the same spots multiple times. Honestly though, NO irritation AT ALL, no matter how long I was there in the same spot over again. Waxing or dermablading is quicker and easier but for girls where that is no longer an option, this is a life saver…or should I say a brow saver!
I tried searching online if there’s replacement heads and I did not see any, which means you’d have to buy a whole new device.
I still want to experiment, practice and get the hang of this product but so far I think it’s worth it for me.

Here’s the thing that shook me, I could swear this was silicone based due to the look and texture. The way it glided onto my skin so effortlessly, the way it made my skin noticeably smoother to the touch instantly BUT WITHOUT that heavy silicone feel. I went onto Sephora’s website just to double check and yah …IT’S SILICONE FREE! 🤯
It comes out looking thick at first but glides on and melts into skin. It’s so lightweight and super hydrating. Felt like my skin could breathe still which is not the case with my usual silicone based primer. This felt like heaven on my skin.
It visibly blurred but did not work miracles on my pores is what I initially thought but the next day when I used it again I used more product on my textured areas and wow wow wow! I swear it’s puzzling how it can erase my pores like magic and yet feel so light and hydrating!
A little goes a long way, so little product is needed. It glides all over skin easily and you can go back to add more just to troubled areas.
It matted my skin only slightly which I do prefer. It won’t leave you looking flat, dull or dry like some matte products do. This delivers a perfect balance, you’ll look healthy but not oily.
Scent is super clean and pleasant.
Did not pill or have any difficulty applying makeup on top.

This has got to be in my TOP 3 favourite products that I was lucky enough to discover and try from Butterly. This is a product I would have not normally bought (I usually buy heavier moisturizers and without spf) so I’m happy I got this opportunity because I ended up LOVING this product and would definitely 100% buy this and recommend it.
The texture is light, easy to spread onto skin, glides on nicely and absorbs quickly. No greasy feeling at application, I currently have combination skin that can get oily at T-zones depending what product I use but this stayed non-greasy throughout the day and no signs of oiliness whatsoever even by the end of the day.
Don’t let the colour of the product fool you, It’s tinted but not like a tinted foundation, it completely melts and disappears into skin leaving a gorgeous glow!!!!! This is not glittery at all once you rub it in and it absorbs. It may look like that at first but the end result is a lit within, natural, healthy sheen. I’ve bought actual luminizers that didn’t even deliver on this level.
The spf 30 is an added bonus!
If you have super dry skin, not sure if this would cut it but I definitely think this would be a perfect summer time moisturizer for drier skin. Perfect for sensitive skin and did not break me out at all.
Moisturizer, spf protection AND makes me glow?! Talk about a multi-tasker. Great for my lazy days where I don’t feel great but still wanna look great ..but also don’t wanna use 8 products great lol.
Slap this baby on and let’s rock! 🤘♥️

The packaging is second to none. A box of 36 patches in total is hygienically packed with 3 sheets of 12 all individually sealed. A perforated slit down each row of patches for easy and quick removal.
I noticed the patch was way thicker and more noticeable than the brand I recently got into. Since you’re wearing these to sleep at night it’s no biggie but also Hero Cosmetics does offer a more “invisible” patch for day use.
I read somewhere that the thicker the hydrocolloid patch is, the more “gunk” it can hold. This would be great for people who suffer from really big pus-filled pimples. I usually get a few very small superficial ones during that “special month” but this week I ended up getting a huge, deep, painful one and the Mighty Patch Original made it completely disappear overnight! All it took was 1 single patch in 1 night, I didn’t even have to use another patch the following night. It was GONE! These are a life saver before a big event and a surprise pimple pops up!!
I would highly recommend these for people who suffer from huge, deep, pus-filled breakouts.

First of all, I am so blown away by the quality and taste of this! Sambucol Black Elderberry powdered drink for Immunity cold and flu relief + Vitamin C was quick and easy to prepare. Dissolves completely with just a gentle stir of a spoon! No tiny clumps floating around or grit. No weird artificial taste.
Great full flavour!! Tastes like jello or a kool-aid. Super refreshing. Very enjoyable to drink, tastes like an actual yummy juice you would just buy anyway but with the benefits of Elderberry and Vitamin C.
This is Sweet without being nauseating and without the weird aftertaste most powdered drinks have.
The recommended amount of water to mix it with is 100-200ml, I found myself wanting to put around an extra 50-100ml (but I didn’t in case it diluted what was needed for it to be effective).
Please note that I also add extra water to juices and lemonades I buy anyway so this is a “me” thing lol. I just really like the taste of things watered down a bit. But the actual flavour was very very delicious!
After the first serving, I was actually looking forward to drinking the next one.
This product can be taken once daily for immune support or 1-3x a day when you’re sick to relieve symptoms. It retails for around $20 for a pack of 30 sachets which is great. That’s a month’s worth of daily immunity support but it’s also a great price and totally worth it if you want it just to treat symptoms when sick instead of buying cough syrup or otc pills!!
I would definitely recommend and buy this product because of the quality, taste and convenience.
It would most definitely be a treat compared to other otc medicines which I do not take anyway when I’m sick. So I love and appreciate this being more natural as an alternative to that.
