The PANOXYL CLARIFYING EXFOLIANT is truly an amazing exfoliant. Light and gentle on your skin, yet effective. My face instantly felt refreshed after using it; but I did not have to worry about dryness despite the 2% salicylic acid. My skin felt deeply cleansed, and you could even see the difference it made on my pores. This is certainly an amazing product, but depending on what other skin conditions you may have, you may want to hold off on using it too often. I found that once a week for me was sufficient. All in all, I recommend!

PanOxyl Acne Wash – 4% Benzoyl Peroxide Cream

Two thumbs up for the PANOXYL ACNE WASH – 4% BENZOYL PEROXIDE CREAM. It has been along time since I used a cream wash and so I was a bit sceptical at first, but with this, there’s nothing to fear. Despite its ingredients, my skin felt fresh and soft and thoroughly cleaned. I was afraid of dryness, but that was also not a concern. I was happy to see that this product was not sent and I did not smell like a teenager after using it. I do have to say that purchasing it in the future would be dependent on, ensuring that I can use it as part of the entire PanOxyl routine, and I just on its own.

Tom’s of Maine Rose & Vanilla Deodorant

I jumped on the natural deodorant train a year ago, and I can speak from experience that not all natural deos are the same -and many do not actually work. THIS ONE DOES! I was really surprised with the texture of this deodorant - I particularly was glad to see that it is neither chunky nor does it disintegrate upon application. I was also very happy to see that it did not leave awkward marks on my shirt. And of course, the biggest factor is the fact that it works! I did not feel self-conscious half-way through the day because it really works -yes, I even did the sniff test to make sure.
The recycled packaging is a total bonus, as is the part profit return to charity. I think I found my next favourite natural deodorant.

The CLEAN RESERVE H2EAU Nectarine Petal was THE biggest surprise I received in the box; I was somewhat skeptical of a fruity perfume, but let me tell you this is in a league of its own! I adore adore the smell. A big big bonus for my is the fact that it is gentle enough for sensitive skin and although the fragrance is indeed long-lasting (which you'd want in a perfume), it is not overwhelming.
I found the roll-on applicator to be a genius packaging for a fragrance; it's small enough that you can take it with you anywhere (purse, clutch, and even in a carry-on!) and you can easily reapply exactly where you want it go, and not worry about the spray getting everywhere you don't want.
It reminds me of a fresh summer day, spent among nature. Thumbs up all the way!

So very excited to have tried the Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen's Sensitive Mineral Sunscreen! I was happy that the sunscreen is SPF 50+ since I think anything below does not work well for the Canadian summers that are hotter than we realized. I have heard a lot of great things about this mineral sunscreen, and it for sure did not disappoint! What I liked the most was the fact that it was fairly thin compared to other mineral sunscreens that go on cakey and leave your skin clogged and unable to breathe. In fact, it absorbed so well into the skin that I even forgot it was a mineral sunscreen! A complete bonus that it is full spectrum (protects against UVA and UVB rays), and that it is safe to use on children and babies. Bring on the sun, because my family and I are protected! -

I love the NEUTROGENA® Hydro Boost Gel Cream! This cream is absolutely amazing, for a more than affordable price! I have been using products from the Neutrogena Hydro Boost line for quite some time, and this is among my favourite. Despite the fact that I am impartial to scents, I do prefer an fragrance-free product especially since I find that layering with other products can leave my face smelling quite strongly (and sometimes unpleasantly) -not a thing to worry with this product!
The gel texture is super light and instantly absorbs into my skin, without leaving any cakey residue or unwanted blobs of cream. My face is instantly moisturized and I find that it remains so even hours later in the day. I like the glow that my skin has after my morning care routine, especially since it looks like a healthy, sleek glow and not an awkward shine.
I recommend this product 100 times over. Two thumbs up.

I used the sample for the time asked before providing my review. I found the Aveeno® Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum to be a light product, that gets absorbed in the skin fast, and works efficiently at keeping your skin moisturized all day. I used this product under my regular face cream, and focused in on the areas that are particular spots of need: corners of and around my mouth, forehead area. I found that it was a nice complementary product to the eye cream.
I particularly liked the fact that it was made with a retinol alternative, as I am currently breastfeeding and would like to avoid retinol if possible.
A big plus was also the fact that it was scent-free; although I do not mind scented products, I find that mixing different smells (eg serum, moisturizer, oil) can be overwhelming and unpleasant -not something to worry about with this product.
All in all, I recommend!

I used this sample for the time indicated, before doing a review.
A very effective product. I like its light texture and the fact that it leaves no residue but rather blends well into the skin -especially in an area that is very sensitive. I found my eye area around the eye to have significantly decreased in puffiness and the dark spots under my eyes diminished after only a few uses.
I was happy that this product contained a retinol-alternative since I am currently breastfeeding and I like to avoid retinol if I can.
The scent-free aspect was also a big plus since I do not particularly enjoy scented products so close to my eye.
Overall, a good, affordable option!

I very much enjoyed the Aveeno® Calm + Restore Daily Face Moisturizer Mineral SPF 30.
Although a little thicker than I expected (which makes sense given its mineral composition), I found that this moisturizer blended well in my skin, and lasted all day - I was super surprised when hours later I touched my face and my face still felt hydrated and soft.
The only downside to this was its smell, which was just a generic natural-like smell.
Overall, a good option for an all in one moisturizer and sun protection.

What an amazing tool! Moving from a manual face scrubber to this automatic, multi-mode cleanser/massager was a big upgrade! And one I definitely needed.
I was super surprised to discover that the Flawless Cleanse Facial Cleanser & Massager came with not one but 4 modes of cleaning, suitable for different needs and skin routines; very easy to use and switch between modes. As someone who has sensitive skin but who also still enjoys an exfoliating experience, I appreciate the gentle modes. My face definitely felt happy and rejuvenated after using it; I definitely think this is something I’ll incorporate in my night routine as well!
The charging stand is a bonus, as I like that it can now have its designated space on my bathroom counter, and that I’ll never have to worry about forgetting to charge it.
