I've always wanted to use tea tree oil for acne but I could never find it in store, so I'm really glad I was able to sample this. The instructions say to dilute 10 drops to 5ml of carrier oil. I don't own any carrier oil so I mixed it in with leftover face masks serum and it works so well! The next day after using the mixed serum, my acne spots are noticeably drier and they are less inflamed. The bottle comes with a mostly covered top so it's very easy to control how many drops you want. The scent is strong but herbal, rather than artificial. It does dissipate after a while. All in all, I love this product. I'm going to try using it more on my eczema and bug bite itches.

Received this as a sample from Butterly. This was my first time eating dairy-free and gluten-free. I’ve heard my vegan friends rave about daiya as a milk cheese alternative so I was quite excited for this.
As an occasional dairy and gluten-eater, unfortunately this isn’t something I will be reaching for 😅 I really liked that it could be air-fried really quickly (4 minutes for soft bottom - 6 minutes for crispiness). The pizza sauce was tangy and refreshing. There were pieces of real tomato but after being air-fried, they were more like air dried tomatoes and their addition to the taste was negligible. The cheese is an “oat cream blend” and I felt it was very… creamy. Not bad tasting. Texture wise it was soft, gummy-like, and oddly stuck to my teeth. I think that the taste was there overall but the texture of gluten-free bread is not for me. I think I tried something gluten-free a long long long time ago and this was similar. Is it the standard for gluten free bread? 😭 It was bland with no bite, like cardboard.
If it weren’t gluten free, I might be ok with this but wow. We need to make better gluten free products.

This has SPF and it is very lightweight. It didn't make my skin oily throughout the day. I completely forgot I had it on. My issue with this is that it dries really quickly so you end up with a lot of white streaks on your face if you take out too much at a time and can't apply it in time. Another issue is that it's gritty. It felt weird when I was putting it on. It felt more like I was gently exfoliating my face sometimes. None or a very light sunscreen kind of smell.

PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant
I used this a few times as spot treatment. I don't think I used it enough to see a big difference but my acne has been less aggressive lately. This has the consistency of toner but it has a strong preservative smell, like shelf-stable udon. -... +

I had a big fat whitehead just underneath my eyebrow. I put this patch on it from morning to night and when I took it off, it had ripped the whole pimple and gunk off. The next morning there was a dried scab but it started peeling at night and now it's a flat small scab that's only slightly darker than the rest of my skin in that area. It healed very nicely and quickly with minimal scarring. The pads are a bit thick and it makes it really hard to touch your pimple. I found that it left a bit of a mark when you took it off in the morning and it sometimes leaves a bit of sticky residue, but it washes off easily.

PanOxyl PM Blemish Brightening Patches
The panoxyl overnight bandages come in 2 sizes. For medium Asian skin, it blended in really well. I tried this out on a few breakouts and I can't say that it's a miracle worker. I tried it on a pimple that I let dry out for about a day. It was a bit... +
The panoxyl overnight bandages come in 2 sizes. For medium Asian skin, it blended in really well. I tried this out on a few breakouts and I can't say that it's a miracle worker. I tried it on a pimple that I let dry out for about a day. It was a bit hard by the time I put the patch on and the next morning, the scab came off with the bandaid. I put it on a few other breakouts and I find it really only works for big white pimples that are ready to be popped. Otherwise it didn't seem to do much because when I woke up, the pimple would still be there, but same size as the night before. -

Accidentally picked up the wrong flavour and oh boy do I regret it. I tried the pomegranate flavour and it was not good. Maybe it's because there's stevia added or something but it tastes sickeningly sweet with a weird aftertaste. I feel like I'm drinking a small dash of POM juice mixed with sugar water. I would not get this again. -

This was my very first time applying hair removal cream and on my face, too! The first thing I noticed and did not like is the applicator. The applicator is big and round with a hole in the middle for the product to come out. My issue with that is that I was paranoid about getting the hair at the side of my lips in case the cream went into my mouth. I would prefer a smaller applicator with a straight edge so I can see where the product is being applied and have more control over where the cream is spread. Otherwise, it did a good job. It was a nice "massage" on my upper lip, although the packaging says don't rub it in. I did 2 applications for a total of 10 minutes but it really did remove everything. I will probably use it again, but I'll practice with the hair on my legs first haha -

Really liked this. It is the second best strawberry ice cream that I've ever had, with this being the best grocery store strawberry ice cream I've ever had. It includes strawberry pieces which I love, because this shows it contains real ingredients. It has a good strawberry flavour, not too chemical or artificial tasting. The texture is fluffy and it melts pretty quickly. The only thing I don't like is that it's too creamy. I felt that it left a cream slick on my tongue. If the creaminess were reduced a bit in this one, I would give it 10/10. -
