I received this product free from Butterly in exchange from my honest review. I’ve had the pleasure of using this PanOxyl acne wash for face and body for the last two weeks. It starts in a thick . Cream like consistency which is SO easy to control when using as a bodywash. No one wants to waste half the product down the drain. I suggest if you suffer from acne in your back to condition hair throughly, rinsing your back aswell to remove and pore clogging conditioner and following up with PanOxyl’s face and body wash. It lathers into a smooth and bubbly foam that cleanses skin with the added benefits of the medical ingredient Benzoyl peroxide 4% which can helps to eliminate current breakouts and keep them from forming. This is also great as a face wash, it cleans well without stripping the skin. Be sure to follow the directions on the label. No need to use it everyday ! The potent ingredients included to kill acne bacteria are perfectly complemented by the nourishing and hydrating ingredients. This not only works against acne but it can help to unclog and minimize the appearance of pores and is free of Fragrance!!

I am not new to vitamin C, I have tried everything from cult favourites, gritty, suspended vitamin c’s, medical grade formulas. “Enlighten”, is Neostrata’s 15% vitamin C plus PHA serum is truly a treat. The serum is a daily brightening concentrate which claims to lighten uneven tone and dark spots. It has stabilized 15% L ascorbic acid ( vit c) and green tea extracts along with other skin savvy ingredients. I haven’t had any problems with this product in regards to breakouts or irritation. The product is free of mineral oil, and dermatologist tested however it does not appear to be non-comedogenic. The serum glides onto the face so smooth with almost a bouncy texture. I really love the way it feels and how my skin looks in the morning. Other vC serums I have used were either textured or had other actives making them unsuitable for daytime wear. This serum however directs to use every morning so I’ve been doing that and it layers wonderfully. ( I’m curious if it could be used both morning and night ?) the smooth, slippery formula absorbs quickly. Even when applying to neck and chest as suggested there is no need to worry about an oily reside on your collar .. it really is that good ! Using this feels like a special treat. The product is liquidy and easy to blend , a little goes a long way. My favourite thing about this vitamin C serum in comparison to others I’ve used is the PHA. I notice the difference, even after one use that my skin is lightly exfoliated and glowing. I assume this light exfoliation really helps the vitamin C to penetrate deeply using this vitamin C during the day leaves your skin available to use retinol, etc. in the evenings if your skin can handle it. Again it’s rare to find a vitamin c that states it’s for daytime use and actually works with daytime products. It’s not listed on the packaging but because this is active and does provide exfoliation I would be sure to top with an spf. I did not experience any peeling or purging. I really noticed my fine lines reduced after a week of daily use. Love the eye dropper component . It has a great seal and is luxurious in comparison to other brands that are known for their eye dropper packaging. This is steps above ! -

After really enjoying the SPF 50 mineral cream I had high expectations for the spray. I was disappointed at the performance of the new spray formula , not only did it not protect the skin it only sprayed 3-4 times ( during one application ) then the cap was twisted close and then it wouldn’t spray again so the family and I weren’t able to try more but my brother who I applied the product too after following directions still got a burn.
I applied it graciously aftee shaking the bottle and shaking during application, i then rubbed it in until it was clear.it was also applied to clean dry skin prior to sun exposure. We really took the application proceed serious as we used the child formula on his daughter and some kids from her daycare and the all were sunburnt. I was embarrassed I had given them a product that didn’t protect the kids so wasn’t too surprised this formula didn’t protect him either. ( however the cream formula works great )

We’ve loved blue lizard sunscreen since it won allure best of beauty ! ( we especially liked SPF 50 sensitive mineral lotion) Our children , like most have sensitive skin and don’t love being slathered with sunscreen , especially when bikes , pools and friends are calling their name ! The new aerosol SPF 50 (!!) was a hit with mom and the kids for its quick application without irritation. We sprayed and then were sure to rub it in and as promised it dried completely clear. PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS! This needs to be shaken WELL BEFORE AND DURING APPLICATION. SKIN NEEDS TO BE SATURATED TO ASSURE EFFICIENT SPF COVERAGE BEFORE RUBBING IT IN. it’s slightly greasy , like any sunscreen. To be fair we haven’t tested in high uva/uvb but we will be. The times we’ve tried,it did provide skin protection.

I thought I would highlight first that these patches are free of latex and other irritants you may find in similar products.I gave the PanOxyl PM parcheds to my boyfriend. He has oily skin and experiences occasional breakouts. My boyfriend liked that it was simple , one step no creams or q tips required. He doesn’t use washes or moisturizers at all ( I hope I can get him on a PanOxyl regime after this) and we believe this specific bad breakout was caused by mineral oil his masseuse used in back of neck. The patch was easy to apply and remained in place all night long. There was no secretions on the patch however the bump did appear smaller. He used the patches day and night .In the AM he removed patch, showered and applied another he wore through the day as well. He liked that it was protecting the area from the environment and from clothing causing further irritation as the blemish was on the back of hairline. Very grateful to Butterly and Crown Labs Canada for giving us the product to review. I like that the patches are gentle and if blemishes are above the skin they can aid in draining excess subum, puss and oil from the area resulting in the blemish clearing quicker. When combined with other Panoxyl products I can see these patches giving more confidence to people like my boyfriend who have oily skin and occasional breakouts. They are also small and discreet ( see photo) and come in two sizes. These offer a thicker coverage yet are undetectable on my boyfriends Asian skin tone.

I gave these lozenges to my boyfriend who has been somewhat successful in quitting smoking, he was smoking only a few cigarettes a day, but it was hard to get over going from a few to none, and his mind he's always hoping for "that one last cigarette" promising to "just finish this last pack" The lozenges really help to minimize cravings I could see them really helping someone who is serious about quitting who is smoking a lot. The product is definitely useful. My boyfriend has gone more and more time between cigarettes and hopefully these lozenges will take him all the way through to not needing anything ! Success!

I had the pleasure of trying the aveeno common restore oat repairing lotion in exchange for my honest opinion. This lotion is definitely perfect for dry sensitive skin I use it right out of the shower and not only does it moisture eyes deeply but my dryer more sensitive patches of skin feel like they have been being treated, I feel like with ongoing use the spots will be reduced if not gone. I love pairing it with the common restore body wash, it feels good knowing I'm using clean products on my body ( The skin is your biggest organ) thanks butterly ! -

Loving the new aveeno calm and restore line I had the pleasure of trying the line free from @butterly in exchange for my honest review. I love the body wash, especially with the 53 2 ml bottle, The pump is appreciated ( So is the low price tag) The body wash worked well on a loofah but even without I was able to lather between my hands no problem! I could definitely feel the difference between this and my regular clear body wash. This left my skin feeling clean but not stripped when used in combination with the common restorer oat repairing lotion my skin was left well and moisturized. My dry skin didn't just feel moisturized but it felt like I had put something on it to help treat it. Check my TikTok for full review @aveenoca -

Tom's, aluminum free deodorant is an extremely innovative product. Not including aluminum makes this product a deodorant (as stated) and not a "deodorant antiperspirant"which is what all of the big name brands are selling for women so this product of Toms will only mask odor when these other big name companies will actually stop sweat and odor while giving fragrance so Tom's was a little bit of a learning curve. At first I wasn't sure if I like the texture as it says it causes odor and wetness protection I was surprised that it went on quite moist which is something I'm not used to but it is not a deal breaker I think that if you are wanting to look for an aluminum free deodorant that is philanthropic (donates 10% to charity) It's 100% recyclable and I truly feel that Tom's has tried to reduce their environmental footprint again this doe deodorant is free of aluminum artificial fragrance parabens and baking soda. If you were on the fence I would definitely say try it out especially if you like a more moist deodorant. I want to clarify this is a positive review I just haven't had much time to try it and I didn't want to give it a spin on my very first times back at the gym etc. (For example you wouldn't a new deodorant before your wedding day) I do believe the product works It's just a bit of a learning curve ! -

I purchased an updated version of the Keurig machine just to try this over ice hazelnut coffee and I'm not disappointed ! The hazelnut flavor was definitely there but it wasn't too strong, It's much more affordable than my usual coffee order and the flavor can always be adjusted with more / less ice, creamer ect. If you're an iced coffee drinker I would definitely recommend giving it a shot ! -
