I really wanted to be able to use this. It feels very nice when using, mild lather, nice texture, a nice clean fresh scent and immediate reaction was my skin felt smooth and soft afteward.
But, in my excitement to try out my new Spoil Me box, I forgot to test the product first. And then I got extremely bad hives. The worst reaction I've ever had with a skin product. So while the product seems very nice, I wanted to note that for those with specific fragrance allergies, test patch first. It contains Pelargonium Graveolens Flower Oil, Citrus Paradisi (Grapefruit) Peel Oil, Citrus Sinensis Peel Oil Expressed and Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil.

Polysporin® Visible Lip Health Overnight Renewal Therapy

I am soo happy with this. My lips were cracked, and very sore from the dry winter weather, allergies, etc. This is the best lip saving product I have tried, and I've tried a lot of them. No scent or flavour (awesome). A little goes a long way. It's called 'overnight therapy' probably because it's got that slightly vaseline-y texture and consistency that you may not want to wear for daytime, but this stuff works. -

I have extremely sensitive, allergy and eczema-prone skin and my hands were cracked and bleeding, and very painful this winter. I received a sample of this product from Chick Advisor and have to say I'm very impressed. It's thick, but absorbs well and doesn't leave a greasy feeling. It feels very soothing and helped make my hands feel much better. I have a really hard time finding products that are truly sensitive-skin friendly, I've pretty much tried them all at this point and this one is now going to the top of my list. -

Finally found a lip colour that lasts! I hate to interrupt work to reapply lipstick throughout the day (so I didn't). This lip colour looks lovely when applied, and while it does fade somewhat by the end of the workday, holds on impressively well through the day. Also love the colour selection. New favourite. -

I have extremely sensitive (allergic), fair skin and often if it doesn't give me a reaction, a serum will make me break out. This is one of the few I've tried that does not irritate my skin. But so much more, the first week I started using it there was noticeable improvement in the look and feel of my skin, which my friends also commented on.
It absorbs quickly, is very light and feels nice on, and has little to no scent (thank gosh). It's also very well priced compared to other similar quality serums. I have strayed now and then to try out more expensive, new products but I came back to No7 again. You do want to use a moisturizer with it as it still needs that. Highly recommend.

In my experience this product didn't work AT ALL, and possibly made my hair look worse. I have fine, tired hair by 'day two' and am used to using a dry shampoo occasionally between shampoos. I have given it a solid chance now and am temped to just throw the rest of the product away. It did not take away the slight oilness nor add volume. I am not a fan of the scent either - my 8 year old loves it and it does smell like cake or candy, but wouldn't work for scent-free workplaces. -

I have used Loreal hair colour product many many times before so I feel like I'm pretty familiar with this process. Tried the new Rose Gold shade for a change from blonde this time and am extremely disappointed. I held off colouring so it would be fresh for a big event I have coming up, however, it's been less than 10 days since colouring and the colour is almost entirely stripped/faded. Immediately following colour it was pretty streaky - more pink and purple than rose gold, but it was interesting, so I was satisfied. However, it's now faded down to a plain brown and in spots it's completely gone, and blonde streaks are showing through, as well as some grey hairs visible. Pretty much a mess. Will not buy this product again. -

This Badger rub is so pleasant to use, the scent is lovely on its own, so my little girl likes having it put on to help her relax into sleep. We use it not only as a cold remedy but just on regular nights when she needs a bit of help falling asleep.
It contains essential oils of Eucalyptus, Rosemary, Ravintsara, and Tea Tree, but in a very mild mix which I find comparable to Vicks Baby rub, but with a slightly milder action, and this doesn't contain petroleum.
You can also use it as a steam inhalant when added to a humidifier or pot of hot water.
We pull it out especially in winter but is calming year round! So happy to find this product.

I have extremely sensitive, allergic skin. This is a product I keep on hand all the times since it was recommended to me by a dermatologist. It has no fragrances or colours added. You can use it on its own or use it as a base for other combinations that you can customize. For example, I like to add pure Shea butter in nearly 50-50 ratio and use it on my legs in winter.
It has a fairly rich and thick consistency so I would recommend this more for hand and body than on face. It's great for long and drying Canadian winters and eczema care.

Vicks BabyRub
Love our Baby Vicks. It comes out at our house with the first sign of a cold. The smell is so soothing and it really helps make little ones feel better. My daughter loves it.
