I enjoyed using this product. It seemed somewhat effective, I noticed less yellowing on my teeth. I was impressed that the results were noticeable however they were not a drastic change, only a small difference. Perhaps this will continue to improve as I use it more. I am disappointed that the packaging is plastic and not necessarily easy to recycle depending on the regulations where you live. My other critique aside from lack of sustainable packaging is the taste is a little bit weird, however it is not a bad taste. I was very happy with the ingredients in the product, as most other mouthwashes do not have clean ingredients, so I am glad that this product doesn't not contain alcohol or any potentially harmful preservatives, and I am glad that the ingredients do not seem to be environmental pollutants which is something often found in personal hygiene and cosmetics ingredients.

I was excited to try an aerosol mineral sunscreen as I haven't heard of one before and thought it was a great inventive idea! I much rpefer mineral sunscreen because my sensitive skin reacts poorly to chemical sunscreen. I am happy that I did not have any bad skin reactions from this product and it did seem to work well and perform as intended. I am however very disappointed by the ingredient list which includes known pollutants and unclean ingredients that research also suggests may be potential endocrine disruptors. For a supposedly reef safe mineral sunscreen this was very disappointing. I want a sunscreen that is healthy for me and healthy for the planet. It contains hydrogenated polydecene, and the production of this ingredient has a significant negative environmental impact. It also contains butyloctyl salicylate which is a synthetic UV filter that can be toxic to marine life. Lastly, this product contains tetrafluoropropene which is a PFAS, or "forever chemical" which can linger in the human body and the environment for an extremely long time. I would not consider this product to be nontoxic, clean, responsibly made, reef safe, nor sustainable in any way. Very disappointing. -

I really enjoyed using this product as I have bad acne and patches like this are so helpful for treating my acne while preventing me from picking at it! Overall I would say that this performed better than your average pimple patch (I have tried dozens of brands and types). I like that it didn't have any irritating ingredients either. It really sucked out contents of the pimple and effectively decreased inflammation. So the results were slightly better than average. I also loved it during use (put it on just before bed) because it sticks easily and well, and also the outer side of the patch feels quite nice and almost matte which I lived compared to the shiny or tacky outside of other patch brands. I used both the small and big sizes and loved both of them for smaller or larger blemishes, these are ideal size in my opinion. However, my biggest complaint about this product is that it stuck almost too well to my skin and perhaps has too much adhesive. When I removed all 3 of the patches that I used in one night, they all left behind some sticky reside of the pimple patch and the patch was not easy to remove at all, it sort of ripped apart as I removed it. The residue left of my skin also did not wash off easily with soap and this left a sticky texture right overtop of the exposed pimple. This was a huge downside for me. Otherwise I loved how effective the patches were at getting rid of the pimple and they felt great while using. -

I have two main points about this product. I loved that it was incredibly easy to use, in that I didn't have to mix anything or dissolve anything, it was incredibly convenient and it wasn't a pill that would get stuck in my throat or be difficult to swallow. So the liquid form is awesome but as someone who prioritizes environmental impact of products, I was not impressed with the single use plastic and excessive disposable packaging. I would much prefer if it was packaged in a recyclable bottle with an easy to use measuring spoon/cup included that is Reusable and has more sustainability and less negative environmental impact. -

This product is formulated well and is gentle and calming and cleanses well for soft baby skin and sensitive skin reactions. It works well! However this product gets 2 stars based on the horrible plastic packaging and container that are not recyclable or biodegradable. Aveeno please do better and make more investments and changes that help our babies' futures be more sustainable and not rely on unecessary single use plastics. We need more innovation with sustainable product packaging from big brands like you. -

This works well and is gentle and calming so I feel confident that it is safe for the most sensitive of skin! However I do not feel like this outperformed other products on the market. Aveeno used to be affordable and is still somewhat so now but other products may be more competitive from a price and value perspective though the value may depend on your perspective and your baby's skin sensitivity and skincare needs. My biggest issue is the plastic packaging! If we ate to pass this world onto our children, then we news to stop the single use plastic crisis. Aveeno please come up with more eco friendly packaging that can be recycled by most Canadian city recycling programs or that is biodegradable, enough of these squeeze tubes that must be thrown in the garbage! -
Swiss Natural Super Papaya Enzyme
This product really surprised me in its efficacy with little side effects. I have struggled with gas and bloating and digestive issues for a long while. This was very helpful, thought not curative of course, it reduced my symptoms significantly.
