Thank you Chick Advisor Product Review Club for letting me try this product for free. I love Canada Dry Gingerale (in fact it's the only gingerale I will purchase) and I love lemonade. These two flavours combined, make for an excellent refreshing, summer beverage! As someone who is currently breastfeeding, and can't really enjoy summer cocktails, this smooth drink is a wonderful alternative. I will definitely be purchasing more cases of this soda to get me through the summer. -

I recieved this product for free to test it and give my honest opinion. My husband has struggled with dry, cracked skin around his eyes his entire life. We have tried everything to fix the issue and nothing works. Until this ointment! When applied twice a day, his eyes became substantially more moisturized and the dry, cracked skin cleared up! I will continue to buy this product for him. Thank you Aveeno! -

I recieved this product for free to give my honest and true opinion. After a few weeks of using it to treat the dry, cracked skin on the heels of my pregnant feet, I am impressed! My feet look and feel much smoother and are protected from further cracking from strain. I would absolutely continue to use this product. -

I received this product for free as a part of the Product Review Club, to give my honest opinion. I waited until almost the last possible day to write my review, to give myself, and my skin, enough time to adjust to this product and review it properly. I generally use the 7 Step Skin Care line from Aloette. But, sometimes, when I`m too exhausted at night (I am 7 months pregnant now) it is a lot to commit to doing all those steps. Cue my love for this Vichy product!!! It is actually very effective at removing the day`s makeup (waterproof makeup is a bit stubborn). I was skeptical about it being able to be a toner and a moisturizer. But, after repeatedly only using this product to remove my makeup and not applying anything else to my face, and waking up in the morning looking, and feeling, refreshed, I am convinced! I will absolutely buy this product again as it is great when you`re on a time crunch. -

I was given a free can of this product and used it every single day for roughly 3 weeks. It helped to prevent pespiration and did not stain any of my shirts. I really liked how it smelt, I am a big fan of the dry spray deodarant compared to the stick deodorant. This is a product that I will use again I really liked the ease of use. -

I received this product for review from Chick Advisor's Product Review Club to give my honest opinion. I have been using this product daily, for just over 2 weeks now. I used it during an extraordinarily stressful time (the sudden passing of a loved one), and even took it with me to Cuba for a week. It stood the test of stressful times with regards to preventing sweating, and smell. More than that, I even took the risk of applying it, after getting dressed several times, in colours, blacks and whites, to see if it truly didn't leave any marks. Not only did it not stain upon application, it continued to not stain while controlling perspiration. I would highly recommend this product and I will continue to purchase it. I usually use Dove's dry spray antiperspirant but I will be switching to this brand permanently. -

I have a pretty strict skincare regiment and a line of skincare products that I have been faithful to for years. But, upon receiving this product, for free, I temporarily stopped using my regular cleanser and makeup remover, to use this product, as it advertises that it can be used for both. I will be honest, I am disappointed. It did a very sub par job at removing my eye makeup. It also leaves a fairly oily residue behind, and being someone who wears contacts, this was very irritating to my eyes.
As far as its ability to cleanse my face is concerned: it actually did a decent job at removing foundation, though I did need to use several cotton pads soaked in the product to achieve this. I was very pleased that I did not break out upon using this product though, and it did actually keep my skin decently hydrated, even without applying a moisturizer afterwards.
All in all, I won't personally be purchasing this product for myself, as I don't feel it is useful for anyone that has sensitive eyes (such as contact wearers). But! If you're looking for something for on the go, or a night away from home, where you'd like one item in your skin care bag, instead of several, I would say this is a good back up item.

I received this product for free to give my honest opinion on it. I can honestly say that once I am finished with the sample I was given, I will absolutely be purchasing this again! I have tried many Nivea creams in the past, and this is my absolute favourite so far! It truly is intensive nourishment. I can have dry, cracked hands, and one application of this, and my hands are soft and healthy looking again. It actually works great at keeping my cuticles healthy too! In past reviews, I have mentioned that I am not personally a fan of the classic Nivea scent. While this still remains true, it doesn't bother me with this product because it's effectiveness truly out weighs that minor negative. It is also non-greasy, as the tub advertises. I just put the cream on my hands, and then started typing on my keyboard immediately, and there is not a grease transfer.
I highly recommend this product! It has been on my desk at work for a few weeks now, and not only do I use it several times a day, but my coworkers are constantly mooching it too!

I use a full coverage powder foundation daily, so perhaps that's why my expectations of this product were so high. I have found that pressed powder applies much more smoothly and less messy than loose. And upon tryting his product, I very much still feel that way. The loose powder in this formula flew everywhere during application and it took a lot more product, then it should have, to target my problem areas enough.
The coverage isn't bad at all. It's definitely more of a nude look, as the brand name implies. But, I found application time, compared to others I've tried, to achieve similar results, made this product not worth purchasing in the future for myself.
You can see my attached before (left) and after (right) photos for comparison. It worked good, but not well enough for me to be blown away.

I was not a big fan of this primer. It was velvety smooth to the touch and it didn't feel cakey on my face. However, it looked and felt just like a regular moisturizer. There wasn't much of a priming aspect to this product. It didn't take away any of my redness (not surprising as it was white, not tinted yellow), and I didn't feel like it shielded my foundation from highlighting skin unevenness.
I've used much better primers and wouldn't purchase this one for myself.

Editor's note: Thank you for your feedback. Although it does include soothing ingredients such as Green Tea and Papaya, the Perfecting Primer is an all-in-one primer, rather than a targeted one for concerns such as redness. The untinted formula smooths skin and creates an even base, restoring freshness and helping fight visible signs of ageing, while helping to extend make-up wear.Please feel free to contact us directly if you have any further questions or require assistance [email protected].
