This feels nice and soothing on my eczema prone skin. Creamy, thick, moisturizing and helps when it's feeling dry and itchy. I like the benefit of the oats as I know they are meant to help with itchiness as well. I've always been recommended to use Aveeno products for eczema prone skin by my doctor and this one is another winner that proves why. -
AVEENO® Calm + Restore Body Wash
I don't know why but I expected something gentle to be rather ineffective for cleaning. But this actually feels thick, lathers and foams up well and makes me feel like it's cleaned off oil and grease well. I'm pleasantly surprised. No residue or... +
I don't know why but I expected something gentle to be rather ineffective for cleaning. But this actually feels thick, lathers and foams up well and makes me feel like it's cleaned off oil and grease well. I'm pleasantly surprised. No residue or feeling dry after either. Pretty much all I expect from a body wash to be. -

I had tried the original hydro boost cream and felt like it was not very hydrating. I was skeptical this would be different but the cream feels a lot different. It is a watery feeling gel cream but it doesn't evaporate on my skin. It feels silky smooth but yet still like something soothing and soft has been applied to my face. I have combination skin with some eczema prone areas and this doesn't irritate at all. Super nice and light cream for summer time that feels so much more moisturizing than other gel moisturizers I've tried in the past. -

I was glad to get the chance to try these patches as one of the most annoying things is how the redness after a pimple lasts on my skin for ages, requiring concealer. The idea that something could help reduce the spot faster was promising. I had an area with a few recent pimples on my jawline - very noticeable and red. I tried the patch over one spot and left the others to compare and contrast. Unfortunately I didn't really notice any difference in the progression between the spot where patches were used vs the spots without patches. Both healed at the same rate and now still look about the same in residual redness/scarring. So unfortunately I probably wouldn't spend the money on these patches in future for so little improvement.

I've always been curious about these patches but never got around to trying them. I tested it the other night on a forehead pimple and it did work. By morning the whitehead gunk had been removed. But the redness and size of the bump had not really changed. So all in all an interesting product but I'm not sure it makes much more difference than squeezing the white stuff out because I'm left with the same result. I'm going to try to use these on ingrown hair bumps and see if it makes a difference on those. -

I'm an unusual case because while I have dry flaky itchy eczema patches at times, the rest of my skin is quite oily. This exfoliator has an almost greasy texture and feel it leaves behind which bothers me because any residue on oily skin can lead to breakouts - meaning I felt I had to wash it off after using. I don't doubt the ingredients and always have liked Aveeno for eczema but I probably wouldn't buy again if it makes me feel like I need to rewash after using. -

As someone with recurrent eczema I've tried and tested it all. This cream is nice enough, pretty soothing and without the residue left by some other anti itch formulas. Nice for very mild flare ups or relief but I would hesitate to buy this over the cost for such a small package. I have flare ups all over my legs and thighs sometimes and this could use up the entire container pretty quickly. -
Finishing Touch Flawless Bikini

I've owned a few mini razors like this so was excited for a new one. I like some things about it, the angled shape is great and the light is surprisingly useful. It works, it gets the hairs, but I just find it's a little slower/gentler than others I've used. I tried it on soft blonde arm and leg hairs and I still need to go over an area a few times to get the job done. Coarse bikini line hairs even get pulled and hurt a little (though this is true of most trimmers). Like most razors the ones meant for women seem to be made too gentle and less effective. -

I got sent this to review from butterly but as it would happen it is one of my regular toothpastes I buy. I'm not into bells and whistles when it comes to toothpastes and this one is a reliable staple that is awesome value for money. It works, it's fresh and clean, and does everything you'd want in a toothpaste. -
