Aimed at rough skin (including Keratosis Pilaris), textured skin or skin with uneven tone, the cream's natural 6% PHA, Niacinamide, and Prebiotic Oats formula work to gently exfoliate overnight and leave skin softer and smoother.
Shea Butter, Coconut Oil, fatty alcohols, Corn Starch, Cocoa Seed Butter, also pitch in to pack a soothing and moisturizing punch.
Note that there is Dimethicone if you are sensitive.
The texture is interesting. It's rich, but not greasy. It's supposed to absorb quickly, but that doesn't always happen for me, possibly due to how dry my skin is. Where my skin is very dry it feels like a bit of a film is left behind. If I mix in a dollop of a lighter cream or lotion, it works perfectly. There is a slight scent from the ingredients.
My skin feels softer and smoother the next morning, especially on my elbows. The area with the most pronounced KP only shows mild improvement.
Overall, other Aveeno body care products work better for my skin type. If your skin leans more towards normal, the Tone + Texture Renewing Night Cream may be a better fit.

A non-foaming, silky, viscous & opaque gel cleanser, it has no fragrance yet smells faintly of grains from the ingredients.
It cleanses well, needing to be applied on wet skin, massaged then rinsed off. Rinse well, this cleanser sticks well to skin and needs more then cursory rinsing.
It pairs well with cleansing devices like the PMD Smart, a small amount is all that's needed for effective massage & cleansing.
It's better as a second or light cleanser. It doesn't remove makeup or sunscreen in one go, in 2 goes it can take of cream sunscreens but not balms. Makeup needs Micellar too.
I tested the cleanser during a heat wave when my skin was more sensitive than usual and it felt lovely and also helped calm my skin down after being out from the heat.
After use my skin feels soft, hydrated and moisture. Most importantly, calm.
The cleanser now lives among my nighttime go-tos.

Butterly and DAP sent me the Alex Ultra Advanced Latex Sealant to try free in exchange for my honest review, and I had just the spot for it!
The one moulding keeps popping out in the bay window my cats love to sun and nap in. It's been an issue since the repairs from the tornado hit, and every windstorm since. We hope sealant will help where just nails didn't do the job, and also keep and hint of outside weather out.
The tube was easy to use. I tried a new gadget instead of my finger for smoothing as my skin has been sensitive. It had a learning curve. There were a few gaps and a bit of a mess, but the AlexUltra Sealant was easy to clean quickly, and I could go back in and do touch ups fast very easily as well. The Sealant is very forgiving, so I think it's good for all levels of expertise (and gadgets!).
The fact that the Sealant is anti-shrink, waterproof, will be mould & mildew resistant when cured and almost odor free reassured me that it was safe for an area my cats pretty much live in.

If a drink was labeled "Flavour so magical, it will grant your wish like a cherry godmother" how many would you buy?
Bai's Zambia Bing Cherry is that magical.
I love Bai, and this is a new flavor for them and me! It's technically a flavored water beverage, though it tastes like a light juice.
With 65mg of caffeine per bottle (sized 530ml), 10 calories, 1g of sugar, 0.1g of protein, 10mg of Sodium, 14mg of Vitamin C and 150mg of Potassium this drink will get or keep you moving in the tastiest way possible. Due to the caffeine, stick to max 2 bottles/day.
The bright red color comes from natural juices & extracts, there are no artificial colors or flavors in the drink.
It tastes lightly like fresh cherries. No syrupy or medicinal taste, nothing too sweet, and you don't get that dry mouth feeling some artificial cherry drinks leave you with.
I love the Zambia Bing Cherry, and am adding it to the list of Bai flavors I keep in the house!
Thank you to Butterly and Bai for giving me the chance to try this new flavor free in exchange for my honest opinion.

Faster dinner prep is my dream.
Butterly and Canadian Tire sent me the Paderno 3.5 Cup Compact Food Chopper with Vortex Blade to try free in exchange for my honest review.
The chopper is hefty for its size, but the motor feels powerful at 400W. I didn't test it beyond what the instructions recommended as I want it to last, and have no desire for pieces to break off if I go too far. We went with veggies, meant for a sauce and extras to go into a stir fry.
There are 2 speeds and a pulse function, that chop, mix and grind food. You need to pre-cut items before processing them. As I learned, some may need more pre-cutting then others or you have different sized pieces or have to "help" food move along.
Overall, the unit chops quickly and effectively, but it can very quickly over-chop if you don't pay close attention. At first, plan for sauces and soups until you get the hang of it!
Washing up has to be done by hand, and that's probably my only real disappointment. I would have loved to have less dishes to hand wash for convenience, not more. On a happy note, the bowl is shatter- and scratch-resistant, as well as BPA-free!

Philips brings simplicity and practicality to the facial hair removal game.
With a lightweight, portable facial shaver, you can take care of any bothersome hair on chin, cheeks, forehead, lip area, and neck.
A couple of practical additions make this shaver great for on the go fixes. The cap has a magnifying mirror, and there is an LED light around the shaving head. The combination makes it very easy to see what you are doing no matter the ambient light.
I wish it was quieter, but the shaver is soft on the skin while taking care of any pesky hair in one go, without irritation.
I appreciate tools I can use wherever I am.
Gifted by Butterly and Philips in exchange for my honest opinion.

I like a fancy coffee occasionally, but when at home I usually just want a rich medium roast with a bit of sugar and some lactose-free milk to indulge in ir to awake my senses.
I sometimes crave a good cold coffee though, and short of digging out an ice cube tray and freezing coffee to not dilute what I brew, I hadn't been able to achieve the taste I crave at home.
Until now. Butterly and Van Houtte have given me at home cold coffee joy with the Classic Black Medium Roast Brew Over Ice Keurig K-Cup Pods. Pop one in, Brew at the 237ml/ strong/ iced option and done.
Ideally you would Brew directly over ice in an appropriate tumbler or mug before adding your choice of sugar, milk or creamer. I found that melted all the ice right away, so I used half the ice to Brew over, then transfered it all to a larger tumbler with the rest of the ice, before finishing the drink, popping in a silicone straw and being ready to take on a day of work! Heaven...

Brought to me by Butterly and Chapman's to try free in exchange for my honest review, the Vanilla Trilogy
Ice Cream is so good there's no escaping the entire family when you want a bowl.
You can fancy it up, scoop it to bedazzle any pie, but it's perfect on its own. The taste is rich, and the Vanilla notes are clear from the first bite until the last drop melts in your mouth.

My family recently received the Men and Women versions of the Advanced 72H Nonstop Antiperspirant Dry Spray to try free in exchange for our honest review from Butterly and Degree. I tried one and my brother the other.
I love dry sprays, especially for work and going out. I find them more clothes friendly overall and also better for not showing white marks or leaving residue behind.
This spray met my expectations in these regards. Over a very long and stressful day, capped by a grocery run, the spray held up.
There were no white marks left on my clothes and no residue left on clothes or skin. Obvs, it worked just as well on a calmer day.
I like that it washes off cleanly as well.
There was a bit of a "cloud" of scent after shaking and spraying, which is normal with these products, but it went away after a few minutes.
The scent is nice, a light floral-gourmand, but nothing so exotic as the notes suggest. It's not overpowering on application and fades quickly.
I appreciate the locking mechanism; I wouldn't have to worry about accidental discharge if I threw the spray in a bag for travel or activities.
This is a repurchase for me!
