I work in healthcare and am washing my hands even more frequently due to the current pandemic, which dries my skin out terribly! So having the Dial Pure Micellar handwash at home is a huge relief -- due to it being free of parabens and other harsh detergents, it relies on micellar water (which I love for removing makeup) to clean. Because of that it doesn't foam up a lot, but it cleans well, doesn't dry out my skin, and has a fresh mineral sort of scent with the Juniper. Highly recommended! -
Premier Protein Caramel Shake
The taste was rather saccharine -- I was hoping it would be a bit more toasted, but was very sugary. That would even have been acceptable except that it didn't give me much energy! Not very useful in terms of a protein shake.

I made the the switch to non-aluminum deodorant about fifteen years ago, which meant making a lot of special orders from Etsy or hunting down stores that sold natural products. So it's a relief to find that easily-available Dove has created Dove 0% Aluminum Deodorant, especially in the Cucumber & Green Tea scent that I've enjoyed in their other products (it actually *does* smell of cucumber!).
The stick is clear and gel-like but not goopy, leaves no residue, and doesn't irritate my skin -- a problem with many other natural deodorants I've tried. It's also the most effective, staying fresh and true through full hot summer days. If they make more scents in the 0% line, I'll definitely try them!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Hand Gel Cream
Fresh and light so it doesn't leave telltale spots of oil on your keyboard or paperwork, but effective enough to protect against dry office air and hydrate to avoid paper cuts!

Neutrogena Hydro Boost Water Gel Sunscreen SPF30
As promised, this sunscreen goes on ultra-light and non-sticky, with a pleasant fresh marine scent. It's quite runny out the tube but absorbs almost immediately. I used it on my face as well as arms and legs, and it worked a treat!

Neutrogena All-in-One Make-up Removing Cleansing Wipes Singles
The cloth is thick and sturdy, but not quite saturated enough with cleansing solution. I found I had to scrub much harder and longer than with micellar water.

I was surprised to see a detergent like SLS in the ingredients, to be honest. But that aside, the shampoo is pleasantly fresh - the coconut water scent comes forward - and does a bang-up job of cutting through dirt and grease without leaving your hair feeling stripped of moisture. A nice little day-to-day shampoo. -
Love Beauty & Planet Coconut Milk & White Jasmine Light Hold & Frizz Control Hair Spray (level 2)
Although I didn't find that the spray did much for frizz control, it does provide a nice amount of bounce and hold, particularly for being a 'wet' type of hair spray rather than aerosol.

Love Beauty & Planet Coconut Milk & White Jasmine Divine Definition Conditioner
There's something refreshingly nostalgic about this conditioner, from the way it dispenses in a creamy ribbon to the mild weight of it in your hair. It's not mega-rich and heavy, but a lovely product to use on curls between shampoos. Simple, clean... +

My skin gets flaky in extreme weather, but worse than this is how dry, cracked, and painful my feet get. I've tried every sort of heel balm, thick lotion, and home remedy I could, to no avail. But wonder of wonders, this Nourishing Cream worked on my feet after just one night! Since then I've been applying it (semi)regularly and it's softening and healing those dry chapped areas really, really well. What a relief! -
