I received a sample of this product to try for free. I normally prefer balm cleansers as my first step so I was pleasantly surprised by this liquid oil cleanser. I only needed a little amount to cleanse my face and neck. It's not too heavy and worked effectively to remove my full face of makeup. It didn't leave a greasy film, dry out, or make my skin break out / produce more oil after. I have combo/ dehydrated/ acne prone skin so it was nice to see that this worked well for me. There is a scent but it's not too strong if you are sensitive to that. Overall, I liked this product and would consider purchasing it if I wanted to treat myself as it is on the pricier side. -

I have combination, dehydrated skin that is prone to breakouts. I used to have very acne prone skin so I have a lot of scarring and dullness. I like the idea that this cream would help brighten and even out my face. I have used it for a couple weeks which is not long enough to see noticeable results. I do think that my face feels moisturized though. The texture of this cream is gel like. It is not too thick and spreads out well. It does leave a little bit of a film on your face but it is not too bad. It is scented, like a fresh, light floral and cucumber mix. The scent goes away quickly though. It did not break me out badly when I first started using it and it does not make my skin oily the next day when I wake up. Time will tell if this does brighten my face but, as an every day night cream, it’s nice. -
Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Night Pressed Serum

This product is a little confusing as it is not a serum or a night cream but an in between. It is thick and jelly-like in the container but spreads out into a more liquidy consistency when applied. It is sticky at first and takes a while to sink in. It’s kind of like an overnight mask in my opinion. The biggest drawback for me is how heavily scented it is. I don’t have a problem with fragrance but this punches you in the face with a floral scent that lingers for a long time. While it is hydrating and did make my skin feel soft, I couldn’t get past the smell. -

I have combination skin that is dehydrated so I’m always looking for things that will moisturize without making any more oily. The serum is so/so for me. It’s easy to apply and sinks in well but I don’t find that it’s moisturizing enough for my dehydrated skin. If you have oily skin and just want light hydration, I think this would be good for you. It isn’t heavily scented which is also nice. There is a little tack at first but that goes away quickly. It also sat well under my night cream. This is just ok for me. -

These bandaids are great! They are waterprooof and stay on for a really long time. I’ve worn them for 24hrs easily without them coming unstuck. I’ve used them for a variety of purposes but my favourite way to use one is over a breakout. You can buy specific acne patches to wear after you’ve drained a spot which help heal and stop infection but most are thin and come unstuck easily. These do the exact same thing but better. I will cut one bandaid into smaller pieces and put them over an open pimple. They drain all leftover gunk and liquid and help heal the acne spot quickly. And one bandaid can be cut and used for multiple applications. I definitely recommend these and will buy them in the future.

I received this product a try for free in exchange for my honest review. I am not vegan or vegetarian but I do try to avoid dairy when possible because my skin hates it. This product is a plant-based butter substitute. In regular terms, it’s margarine. While it is convenient to have in stick or block form, the taste of this is just average. It has a bland/ stale aftertaste when you eat it on its own. Think of the taste of old oil. You can tell that it is an oil based product. The pros: it has a nice amount of salt to it, it melts normally, it’s easier to measure out when baking vs in tub form, and it bakes well overall. I just think for the price, it doesn’t taste as good as other margarines on the market. I don’t think I’d buy this in the future. -

I received this product for free in exchange for my honest review.
The first thing I noticed about this product was the very strong floral scent. I am not a fan of the scent, it’s just too strong and not the type of floral I like. If you are sensitive to very strong smells I would stay away from this.
With that being said, this foaming hand wash is very moisturizing! As soon as you rinse your hands you can feel how soft and smooth they are. This surprised me because usually foaming products are drying. The foam comes out of the pump thick but quickly deflates into finer, watery bubbles. It rinses off quickly without leaving a residue. I would try the other scent because I did enjoy the soap.

I absolutely love the caramel flavour. It’s sweet and creamy with a nice butterscotchy caramel flavour. I mix it in with my morning coffees as a creamer and it’s great for that. It’s low in carbs and sugar so it works with a Keto/ low carb diet. So happy to get to test this out for free! -

Ok so it took me almost a whole jar to get why this product is great. I am a big fan of Cosrx in general and I know there are lots of benefits to Centella so I was curious about this. I have combo/ dehydrated very acne prone skin. I bought this in hopes it would calm down my cystic acne. It’s a thick ointment- type cream that can be used as a spot treatment (I didn’t have success with it reducing my acne like that) or an all over layer. It definitely leaves a white cast if not properly rubbed in and is strongly scented (medicinal/ herbal) but is very moisturizing. Where this product shines for me is in healing acne scars. I have never had a product fade my scars so fast! Whenever I break out and inevitably pop one or two I always use this cream the next day to start calming down the redness and fading the mark. I put a THIN layer as my last step in my evening routine and within a few days it has significantly faded. A little jar lasts forever because it’s very concentrated so the price point isn’t bad. I recommend this if you need to get rid of scars. It’s not a miracle worker but it does make a big improvement with consistent use. -
