I have a warm medium skin tone and it's been a challenge finding sunscreens that don't leave a white residue on application. I had hopes for this, but unfortunately, it didn't work for me.
Pros:
✓Not too heavy, or oily - therefore doesn't feel too greasy on your skin
✓Easy application
✓Suitable for sensitive skin - speaking as someone who is acne prone, has combination skin, and dark spots.
✓Fragrance free
Cons:
✖️ Paste like texture - it is thick & not fluid smooth like other products (not sure if it's due to "minerals")
✖️ Leaves a white residue - I hate getting a "white-washed" effect and no amount of foundation could fix it. The worst part? It stays on for hours.. which might be good if that means the sunscreen protects for long? Not sure..
Overall, while I'm sure it's effective, it might be better suited to light skin (pale) tones maybe. If you're heavy on the melanin, I wouldn't recommend this. Sorry.

It was my first time trying any kind of patch for acne/breakouts so I didn't know what to expect. Upon initial results assessment I was a little disappointed because it "opened" the breakout pore resulting in the white pus coming out.. how is that different from me breaking on my own? My acne didn't really disappear after that or anything so in terms of "effectiveness" I don't think I liked it.
However, it was good at keeping my acne secure overnight as it says it would do. So, I think it's just a patch that works like bandaid for your breakouts (IMHO).

Was on the hunt for a lightweight moisturizer for summer. Happy to say, this product met the needs!
I have a combination skin and oily/heavy moisturizers are too dense for me often. This gel like lotion, spreads easily, feels lightweight, not sticky, and gets absorbed within a few seconds.
The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the "fragrance-free" scent. I could smell the oaty-ness to the product. It left a bitter scent for a few minutes after applying. Not a huge issue, but if you're sensitive to oat, I'd advise caution.

I have tried many techniques when it comes to eyebrow hair removal (waxing, threading, shaving, tweezers, etc) over the years. This was my first time using a battery powered tool and here is what I think:
1. LOVE the rose gold colour and the finish of the tool.
2. LOVE that the package included everything you need to get started (battery, cleaning brush, and instructions pamphlet)
3. LOVE that it is in fact painless! I saw no redness or irritation with my skin after use.
4. DISLIKED the strength of the tool. It wasn't most effective in removing smaller hairs close to the skin. I had to use tweezers towards the end to clean the area.
5. NOT SURE of the light built in and how it aids with visibility.
FINAL VERDICT - (3.75 stars) This is a good tool for someone who is afraid of a sharp razor blade, or waxing. It is a convenient tool for beginners. I know it's not meant for other places, but I tried doing my upper lip hair and it worked well too!

I have use many Aveeno products on a daily basis (face wash, body lotion, & moisturiser.) It was my first time trying this scrub. At first, wasn't a big fan of the scent (it is lightly scented) since it is an oat product, however, upon use, the smell doesn't bother too much.
It is a good scrub as it exfoliated my skin & made it feel fresh after use! The beads in there do give it the nice rough texture needed to exfoliate. It isn't damaging or harsh like other exfoliants. Because it's Aveeno, I trust the brand & know it's good quality product (safe for my skin). I'll be using this once a week :)
I checked my local Walmart & Shoppers Drug Mart & this product was not available (either sold out or not on shelf yet). I'm not sure of its availability in other places, but it is available online always. #freeproduct #productreview
