Un excellent édulcorant alternatif.

J'aime le flacon à presser/verser les gouttes. Il est très pratique.
Les gouttes ne sont ni trop sucrées ni trop diluées.
Il ne fait pas monter ma glycémie. C'est un édulcorant naturel à faible indice glycémique.

I've struggled with acne into my adulthood but have found the PanOxyl Acne Wash for Face and Body over time, has helped to clear my acne scars and prevent new acne from forming. The creamy like formula is gentle on my skin and helps keep my face hydrated after use. It's not like other acne washes which tend to dry out my skin.
To use, I dampen my face with water, then apply the wash and leave it on for 2 minutes. I rinse then pat dry. I have only used this on my face., even though I do have acne on other parts of my body. I did find that there is a slight medicinal/chlorine like smell to the wash.

This was my first time trying a whitening oral rinse. I was skeptical at first since whitening products tend to have a strong formula or burning effect, but this product pleasantly surprised me. This oral rinse is alcohol, peroxide and dye free so it is non-abrasive and gentle. The oral rinse helps remove surface stains, prevents future stains and acts as a breath freshener all in one. A step up from the typical mouthwash I would say.
The dazzling mint flavour leaves a gentle mint after taste in the mouth after use. The bottle itself looks bedazzled with the shiny wrapping. This is a great product if you are big tea and/or coffee drinker like myself. I use the product twice a day, morning and night, after I brush my teeth for optimal use as recommended. It is recommended to use a capful but since my mouth is small, I use less.

This was my first time using the Blue Lizard Sensitive Mineral SPF 50 Sunscreen Lotion and I thought it was great. The cream was thick so I originally thought it would leave a residue and I would be able to feel it on my skin. To my surprise, it blended easily into the skin and did not leave a smell. I couldn't tell I was wearing it! The sunscreen is for all types of skin, especially sensitive skin so I wasn't worried about any irritation. It's free from parabens and phthalates and infused with Aloe Vera. it left my skin feeling smooth, hydrated and protected.
The 89ml tube is a great size to keep in my bag for my every day sun protection. It is also water resistant. Skin protection is for 80 minutes so it's best to re-apply multiple times a day if you expect to be out and about.

The Spin Master Super Hero Action Figure - “Up in the Sky! Flying Krypto” is amazing! It's a USB rechargeable toy that resembles superman's dog and a helicopter. Krypto is a white dog wearing a red superman cape. My daughter just loves it and so do I! Once you turn on the toy, you have 6 seconds before it takes off. Krypto will move his tail prior to taking off. The recommendation is that you let Krypto lift off your hand and then you continue to use your hand to guide Krypto and allow him to hover.
I found the speed and the intensity of the helicopter propellors to be intense so instead it was safer to place Krypto on the floor and let it lift off from the ground directly. It will then rise and whirl around on it's own. You need to make sure there is ample room for Krypto to hover. If the propellors hit any objects they will stop and Krypto will fall. The propellors whirl at fast speed so make sure they do not hit any fingers or it will hurt. The toy itself is very lightweight and durable which allows for easy lift off and flying and no worry about it breaking if it hits an object and falls. Krypto's legs are adjustable so he can be made standing or lying down to resemble flying.
Krypto takes about 45 minutes to charge completely and has about 15minutes of flight time before the battery dies.
It comes with a small USB wire for charging that can be plugged into a laptop or cell phone charger.
The toy is recommended for children 4+ however there should be supervision at all times due to the speed and intensity of the propellors. There are 6 propellors on the toy and they do make a slight whirling noise while they are in operation.
Things to note is that Krypto does not bark and there is no remote to control his movements.
This toy is exciting and cool to have. It's new and innovative and is very entertaining.

I tend to get acne on other places aside from my face, so PanOxyl's Acne Banishing Body Spray is a great thing to have. With a 2% salicylic acid formula, this spray not only helps to clear existing acne but to prevent new acne pimples from forming. This easy to use spray bottle allows me to reach my targeted acne areas of shoulders, chest and upper back.
I use this spray right after I shower. There is a bit of a medicinal smell when you spray - similar to rubbing alcohol. However, once dried, there is no smell. The formula dry pretty quickly and does provide a nice coverage for the targeted area. Make sure to spray from a distance and not too long, otherwise the targeted area will get too wet and will feel a bit sticky due to excessive coverage.
With acne prone skin, I think this is a great idea and will definitely keep using this product.

I’ve been using TheraBreath Fresh Breath Oral Rinse for a few days now, and I have been pleasantly surprised. It's not advertised as a mouthwash but instead as an Oral Rinse that fights bad breath for up to 12 hours. I use this product after eating a heavy meal to fight germs and any possible bad breath. Unlike other similar products that tend to sting/burn or leave an overpowering taste, the TheraBreath has a mild formula that does not feel harsh in my mouth. It does not contain alcohol. The Icy Mint flavour is a nice mild flavour that does not leave an aftertaste. It's gentle and effective, leaving my mouth refreshed and odour free. It does not contain any dyes or perfumes. My mouth does not dry out either.
The rinse is clear and resembles a water like liquid. I fill the bottle lid half way, rinse my mouth for a 1 minute. Then following, rinse my mouth with the same amount of water for 30 seconds. This is the recommendation on the bottle.
Overall, this rinse has exceeded my expectations. It’s gentle and effective. I highly recommended, though it is a bit pricey!

I received the Grown Alchemist Skin Defense Primer from Butterly and Grown Alchemist for testing and review purposes.
I have been using this product regularily prior to applying my makeup and I can say this product leaves my skin smooth and well hydrated which is particularly key for making makeup look flawless.
The gel is super lightweight and non-greasy. It's a clear gel that is easily absorbed by the skin without leaving any residue or irritation. Its silky like texture leaves the skin feeling super soft and silky and helps provide a more matified look of the skin. There is a slight cooling effect when applied, which helps to minimize the look of pores and give the face a more fresh feel. There is a slight pine/citrus smell to the gel which is refreshing itself.
I apply a small dab to each cheek a dab on the forehead and massage it into my face. You really don't need a lot to cover the whole face and it dries pretty quickly so you don't need to wait long before applying makeup!

I recently started incorporating the Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel into my daily face care routine. I apply the eye gel both in the morning and before bed to the under eye area to help improve the look of my under eyes.
The eye gel comes in a cute, petite, glass container that looks chic. The gel itself is white, but resembles more like a mixture of lotion and vaseline with regards to consistency and application, but the gel itself is not oily, greasy or sticky.
After washing my face, I apply a small dab under my eyes, patting gently until the is absorbed. The gel is absorbed instantly and leaves the under eyes feeling smooth and moisturized. It's quite gentle and light - you don't feel it once applied! The gel is gentle and creats a cooling effect, thanks to the colloid oatmeal and plant based retinol alternative formula. There was no irritation or redness at all.
After applying the gel for a while, I did notice improvement in the look of my undereye area. They appeared less dull, puffy and the skin more firm.

I recently started incorporating the Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum into my daily face care routine to improve the look and feel of my skin.
The serum comes in a mini pump dispenser which makes it very convenient and easy to apply. One - Two pumps is all you need!
The serum resembles a watery lotion. It is not sticky or greasy but quite light and gentle thanks to the colloidal oatmeal and plant-based retinol alternative. It goes on easily and gets absorbed into the skin quite quickly. The skin is left feeling hydrated and smooth. It did not cause any redness or irritation whatsoever.
It is also frangrant free so you don't have to worry about any irritating smells.
After using the serum for more than a week, I have noticed improvement in the appearance of the skin. It looks more strengthened, smooth and hydrated. My skin tone and texture has improved as well thanks to the antioxidant rich petides, cranberry extract and vitamin b3.
