I rotate between this deodorant and another brands. In the past I didn’t have great experiences with Dove, but this one has really upped their game.
I really hate when deodorants clump, but this one is so smooth! Also, it’s a cooler scent, not an overly fruity one like pouring fruit punch on your armpits. It leaves me feeling just a bit more confident.
The only thing is that it doesn’t last the 48 hours it claims, at least for me, but I mean, that’s hardly the issue when I can go a full day alone.

I'm very impressed with how long this deodorant lasted after one application. I occasionally walk to work (1 hour walk) and with a backpack on, a full days work and waking up the next morning my armpits still smell great.
For myself it did as advertised and reduced the amount of sweat my armpits released. I sweat very easily and this prevented having pit stains on my shirt.
it doesn't have a strong scent so if you like applying your own fragrance/cologne it won't conflict.

I initially tried putting this product on my hair without a loofah and it was not as effective as normal shampoo. With the help of a loofah it lathered up more. My hair didn't feel as soft as the shampoo I'm currently using, but it was clean so at least it did what it was supposed to do.
When I used it as a body wash, I was surprised on how smooth it made my face feel. It has a more mature smell than other brands but it doesn't last for long after leaving the shower.
Overall it's a decent product.

It did its job in terms of cleaning my skin. My skin felt refreshed, but not scrubbed dry and tight. The thing is, I didn't achieve this using the 'exfoliants' in the product. There is such a tiny presence of grits that it hardly warrants the label 'exfoliating'. I was better off using a loofah which achieved the great results I got, but there seems to be absolutely no reason for those granules in there when there isn't enough to do the job on their own.
This product does work though, I would just recommend using something else to scrub your body, like a loofah, as this product on its own felt underwhelming.

Nothing screams "Amazing!" from this product as it feels like an average lotion you could get anywhere. The smell is kind of 'perfumy' which I'm not a huge fan of (it can get sickening after a while). It's a pretty thick lotion so it gets used up really fast and doesn't seem worth it in the long run.
The part that I dislike though is how it makes my skin feel clammy, like an uncomfortable layer of humidity is covering me.
I haven't noticed much difference in the appearance of my skin, as it seems whatever benefits this is supposed to provide, seem to diminish when it completely dries on the skin, which is like in 15-20 minutes.

What I love about this product is, unlike other sunblocks, there are no white streaks! Plus the sent is really nice and it goes on effortlessly. For the past three days, the sun had been out (finally) and the weather warmed up (again, finally), and I spent as much time as I could walking around outside. My skin tends to burn easily, and I don't want it to tan, and this product did an amazing job and keeping me protected.
My two issues with it are:
- It claims to be non-greasy, but with my skin, it was mildly greasy and made my face very shiny.
- I experienced some breakouts, not too many though.
But honestly, those cons are minor in my eyes if it means my skin doesn't get damaged by the sun.

The most problematic dry spots on my face are around my nose and middle of eyebrows, and I get nervous, even while using moisturizers, how much dryness will show through if I apply makeup.
This cream seems to have fixed that. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and soft, and I can go throughout the day and take a glance at myself in the mirror, and not find a single spot of dryness.
I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with dry skin.

I'm going to admit, I was pleasantly surprised at how well this worked in removing the eyeliner that I use which is heavy duty, non-moving and a royal pain to clean off. However, to clean the whole face, I didn't find one wipe to be enough, which poses the issue of how often I would need to keep buying these. The smell is nice and subtle, and the cloth doesn't scratch your face.
All in all, these wipes work very well and I would recommended them.

When a face cleanser claims to be hydrating, I get very skeptical because to me that's just fluff and never shows up to the party. This product I can actually say surprised me a bit. My face does feel quite nice and hydrated after I use this. There was no irritation or redness as well.
A minor issue I have, and I do mean very minor, is I think the formula is a bit too thick for a gel cleanser.
Now the major con, and the one reason I cannot recommend this product. My face was still dirty after using this. There is zero reason to purchase a cleanser if it doesn't cleanse your skin. After washing my face, I used my usual toner and the cotton round had clear evidence that my face was still dirty by the slight brown discoloration. It's really too bad because my face did feel quite nice after this use, but if I know it's not clean, then what's the point?

Note: I received this product for free to test.
For starters, this isn't a moisturizer; it is a basic sunscreen, plain and simple. My face doesn't feel refreshed or 'ultra-calm' at all. It annoyingly feels tacky where any pet hair sticks to my face and I feel like I'm wearing a mask. It's a layer on my face that I just want to wash off because it feels uncomfortable.
Another con is it leaves white streaks all over my face. It accumulates in my eyebrows and other creases leaving white matter that I need to use my nail to kind of scrap out. My fingertips, when trying to blend out the streaks, just seem to push around, what feels like gunk. Eventually, it does seem to buffer into the skin.
$20 is a steep price point for a low end feeling sunscreen. I have cheaper moisturizers with SPF 30 that actually feel and act like moisturizer, and they don't leave my face tacky, streaky, and slightly whiter than my natural tone. I would never recommend this product to anyone.
