I was pleasantly surprised by how easy the shampoo was to lather and how well it glided over my hair. The scent is strong but great. It can leave a slight film on the hair after consecutive washes, so it's best to use a clarifying shampoo after a couple of uses. Overall, not a bad shampoo bar considering that it's zero waste and affordable. -

I have tried this cleanser approximately 5 times, because I really wanted to give it a fair shot. But I really do think I am allergic to an ingredient in it, because my upper lip starts feeling hot and then the heat spreads to the rest of my face. I doubt that it is meant to feel that way on the skin, so I have to figure out what ingredient is causing that for me, but the cleanser is by no means a bad one. I'm actually quite disappointed that I reacted to something in it, because it is meant for sensitive skin and I rarely react to anything. Additionally, I actually really enjoy the texture, lack of scent, the amount given in the bottle, and the simplicity. That is why I am giving it 3 stars, because if I had not been allergic to something in it, this would be my go-to daily cleanser. Even so, as long I washed the cleanser off quickly, I noticed no issues on my skin, and it is so much more gentle on my skin than my salicylic acid face wash. I will probably pass this on to my mom who also has acne-prone skin but doesn't seem to have the same reaction my skin did to the cleanser. -

I love how smooth and creamy this butter tastes. It was an instant hit with the family when we used it for buttered toast as well as for cooking. Knowing that it's non-GMO, as well as free of artificial flavours and preservatives is a fantastic added bonus. I do wish it was a bit cheaper, but it will definitely become a part of the grocery trip! -
Neutrogena Skin Balancing Micellar Cleansing Wipes

I am overall not much of a wipes user. However, I found that these wipes work really well in a pinch and you only need 2-3 to really clean a whole face of makeup (with maaany layers). I generally follow a deep cleansing philosophy, but these work great in an emergency and are easy to carry around! The smell is non-offensive and I didn't find that it aggravated my skin in any way. -
Neutrogena Skin Balancing Gentle Milk Cleanser for Dry and Sensitive Skin Types

This cleanser does the job, however, I don't believe it should be used as a one and done. It serves better as a first step cleanser followed by a second step foaming cleanser to get a nice, deep clean after wearing makeup or sunscreen all day. I have also found that it works well used alone on nights when I want to apply my tretinoin cream. It leaves a slight film behind on the skin that acts as a protective barrier for the skin. I didn't find much for a scent with the product and it spreads very well on the skin. The packaging has a nice locking mechanism for travel. I cannot attest to the skincare benefits just yet, having only used it 4-5 times, but it did not damage my moisture barrier or aggravate my skin in any way yet. Pretty great experience overall! -

This cream is quite moisturizing, especially when applied after the matching serum. I do have some reservations about the ingredients, however. While my skin isn't particularly sensitive to silicones, this product does have different varieties and amounts of them, so I wouldn't exactly label it as non-comedogenic. I would say, proceed with caution if you have very sensitive, acne-prone skin. But the moisture boost is great on this one. I spritz some water & witch hazel after applying this as well, which helps boost the hydration even more. It is scented, which doesn't bother me, but it could cause irritation for some. The cream spreads nicely and has a gel-cream hybrid consistency. Plays well with foundation on top. Overall, I would personally purchase it again as a staple in my routine. -

I love this serum so much. I can't tell if the little capsules in it do anything, but the serum is so nice and plumping on the skin, especially after a good pH balancing toner. I spritz my face with some water & witch hazel after to get an extra boost of hydration on top. I love that it's fragrance-free and doesn't irritate my skin. My skin is somewhat sensitive and has a mind of its own, but it loved this product. Only thing is that the bottle is kind of small, so I will most likely run out very fast from daily double use. It's a win regardless, Neutrogena! -
AVEENO® Restorative Skin Therapy Repairing Cream
This cream has such potential to be perfect. Not sure why they added benzyl alcohol in it. While my face and decolletage felt moisturized, it also gave me a small rash within 15 minutes.

I received this for free from Chickadvisor to test out. It is quite effective at removing peach fuzz, but less effective if you have thicker hair. Still worth a shot if your main concern is peach fuzz! The light function is super helpful for seeing under the chin. The device has a low hum, definitely nothing that would wake the house up. -

The positives to this product are the value when comparing the quantity received for the price. In that sense, The Ordinary's Glycolic Acid 7% Solution does not disappoint. However, no matter how many times I tried, each night that I used this toner, I woke up with new pimples the next day. I tried it for nearly two weeks before finally calling quits. I do not believe the Glycolic Acid was the issue, as I utilize other products with that ingredient without any issues, and my skin is very used to actives. I cannot claim that I would recommend this product to anyone. -
