I have been using this product for over two weeks now, and I have definitely observed a noticeable change in the whiteness of my teeth. The product is quite mild, which I was not expecting, and I found the taste to be much more enjoyable than other similar products. The foaming action made me feel as if it was really working and it left my mouth feeling clean and refreshed, and my teeth feeling polished. I will definitely use this product again and will recommend it to my friends and family. -

First of all, thank you so very much for the opportunity to try out this product. I had a wonderful time doing so, and in addition, I think I've found my regular use hand and body soap.
This product is wonderful in so many aspects. First of all, the light and clean scent, which is neither overpowering or unimpressive. It is soft and soothing, and the fragrance stays on you long after you've used it, but in a light and airy sense, not an overpowering, I can't breathe! sense. With someone who has some sensitivity to scents, that is most appreciated.
Also, I love, love, love how gentle it is on your skin. My skin is still recovering from winter dryness, and I was getting tired of being itchy and uncomfortable after my showers. With Dove though, this does not happen. It does not dry out your skin and never leaves a film.
I also would like to add that I am now going to use this product with my son, as well. He has very bad eczema and skin allergies and I found that this soap was gentle enough to use on him as well. What a wonderful discovery!
Thank you again, and I hope to have the opportunity to do this again.

First of all, thank you Chick Advisor for the opportunity to try this product, I very much enjoy the opportunity to try out these new products. What a treat for me!
I am one of those unfortunate girls who has the hair that likes to become completely dry and flyaway in the winter, and I end up looking like someone who just stuck their finger in a light socket. Over the time that I was using this product though, I found that my hair became much softer, and more manageable. I was able to run a brush through my hair without using my hand to catch it before it flew away.
I also visited my hair stylist after two weeks of using this product, and he asked me what I had been using on my hair because it was so incredibly soft! He was definitely just as impressed with this product as I was.
My only complaint was that I found the container very akward to try and control in the shower, and had a few episodes where I was jumping in the shower to avoid having the jar fall on my toes. However, if you were taking a bath or putting this product in after your bath/shower, that would stop being a problem.
All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed this product and would definitely buy it if I saw it on the shelves, or being sold in my hair salon. The price is a little high, but I am willling to spend a little more on my hair if its a worthy product. Which this definitely is!

First of all, thank you Chick Advisor for the opportunity to try this product. I can sum up my impressions of this product in just a few words, but for my own amusement and because I like to hear the click-click-click of my laptop keys, I'll say a little bit more.
This product was absolutely WONDERFUL! I absolutely adore it!
When I first opened that shampoo bottle, I was blown away by the delightful floral scent of the shampoo, and how light the product was. It was not heavy or thick, but light and smooth. I liked how easy it was to distribute throughout your hair and how it did not create that crazy, thick lather that some cheaper shampoos do. It was also very easy to rinse out, and left your hair feeling clean and soft.
I also liked the conditioning product, even though honestly, it was a bit ackward to get out of that jar. I had many a mishap with dropping that jar and dodging it in the shower to be sure it didn't land on my toes. However, outside of the shower, I'm sure it would be easy enough to maneuver open. Despite that, I adored how thick and rich this conditioner was and how you did not need to use much to get an excellent result in your hair. It also rinsed out easily for me.
What absolutely sold me on this product though was what my Hair Stylist said to me when I went to see him yesterday. I've been using nothing but this product for over two weeks, and I have not been to a Stylist since before Christmas. At the beginning of the consultation, while he was checking my hair colour and regrowth, he asked me, "What have you been using on your hair? It feels absolutely amazing! It's so healthy and soft, and so manageable, most people are having problems with dry, flyaway hair because of our dry winter, but your hair is beautiful!" I told him what I had been using, and he was most impressed.
(Now if you can't take an expert's word for it, who can you trust, right?)
That sold me and convinced me that what I had been seeing and feeling for the two weeks using this product was not just my imagination. This product is the real deal! I will definitely be buying it when it hits the market, and I am fortunate enough that my Hair Salon stocks and sells L'Oreal :)
One last note, I really do love the shampoo container that this product came in. I'm hoping this is how it will be bottled when it hits the shelves. It was so easy to pick up and hold, despite my many other shampoos which have found my shampoo graveyard under my sink, and it would be so easy to travel with.
All in all, this product was divine! Thank you for allowing me to try it!

First of all, thank you so very much for the opportunity to try out this product. What a wonderful early Christmas present, and like most Christmas presents, I was surprised and so excited to receive, unwrap and use this for the very first time! I couldn't wait, I used this product as soon as I got it back home and I've been using it non-stop ever since!
This product is an excellent alternative to any ordinary toothbrush, and even to many similar products on the market today. It is very lightweight, user friendly, and non obtrusive. The timer which signals when it is both time to switch areas and when it is time to stop brushing is an amazing little addition to this wonderful dental device.
Like probably most people out there, I worry about whether I am brushing too long or not long enough, and to have a device such as this tell me when I need to change areas, or when to stop, is nothing short of amazing.
I also appreciate how gently it brushes, and how it doesn't feel like the dental equivalent of a jackhammer going to work on your teeth. I have found, with other devices, that this is sometimes the case and it is so refreshing to know that a product doesn't have to be that aggressive to do its job.
Overall, I am smitten with this product and cannot see myself ever going back to a regular toothbrush again. Thank you again for the chance to try this out, and for letting the Pulsonic and I find each other :)

First of all, thank you so much for the opportunity to try out this product! I can say that if not for this product testing opportunity, I may never have thought of trying this product out for myself.
I, as well, was a little shocked when I first received the package, as was my family! I received several questions from the children as to what it was, and why it was such a big package. That was fun, let me tell you, explaining that to the kids :)
After that first surprise, I received another surprise. Despite the size, the liners do fit very comfortably and once on, you cannot feel them at all! Do they ever work well also!
I am a 41 year old woman with children and recently have been suffering from a horrible bronchial infection complete with terrible coughing fits. This time though, instead of having to run to the bathroom fearing for the dreaded leakage, I could relax and know that I was safe and protected. That was a wonderful relief for a change!
The odour protection is likewise quite comforting and I would definitely use these again!
Thank you again for this opportunity :)

Thank you so very much Chick Advisor for the opportunity to try this product :) What a wonderful experience it has been!
First of all, did anyone else have this experience? This experience being the fact that whenever you decide to try and treat yourself to something like this for two hours, that is exactly the time that everyone decides to call! Or, the dog decides she needs to go out twenty times and bark excessively every time! Or, other such domestic disasters...
But, other than that, two hours did seem like quite a long time to keep the whitestrips on your teeth. But then again, only having to use it once, for two hours, rather than everyday... for 30 minutes... for a week.. is a grand improvement! My suggestion, clear your schedule, turn off your phone, grab a book or turn on your favourite movie and relax! If you can do this, then it is indeed a workable amount of time.
The taste of the whitestrips is quite strong, and it does tend to linger, but no more so than the taste of any whitening gel that a dentist uses. My gums were a bit sensitive, but I found treating them gingerly for a few hours afterwards seemed to help. Of course, I have had similar to worse reaction with other products so in comparision, this one was quite mild and non bothersome.
The results of this product were somewhat noticeable, but I think the best part of using this product was how my teeth felt afterwards. They felt cleaner, and smoother, and that was very noticeable and well worth the two hour wait. I think, though, considering it is an at home product and not a professional dentist office kind of product, the results overall were very good and quite surprising. I truly did enjoy using this product!
The cost of this product is quite average compared to similar products, and considering you only have to use it a few times a year, overall it turns out to be a very good value.
I will definitely purchase and use this product again in the future! Thank you again for the opportunity :)

I am one of those people who is very picky about who does anything with my hair. A bad haircut, or hair colouring, can ruin my entire day. So, when I find a salon I like, I make sure to tell everyone about it. Anytime someone comments on my great hair, I'll namedrop and make sure they know exactly where the salon is, and who to see. And for me, these days, it is Whyte Avenue Hair Company.
Honestly, it is a bit pricier than a discount hair salon, but if you are someone who, like myself, is picky about who touches your hair, then it is worth the little bit of extra money. To give you an idea of how much, I have long hair, and normally I need at least two, if not three, applications of colour as well. This normally costs me about $150-170. But it is very much worth every penny.
I get great service everytime, and all of the stylists here are great to interact with. But my favorite is definitely Marc! If you are going there for the first time, absolutely ask for him. He is the best!

This is one of the best products that Body Shop has ever come out with. I have dry skin, which becomes even drier in the winter time due to the climate of the area I live in. And winter is such a challenge to try to keep my hands from becoming dry, cracked and painful. A few years ago, I went into the Body Shop to pick up another hand lotion, one which I love the scent of but honestly, it was not doing the job of keeping my hands moisturized. One of the wonderful sales associates encouraged me to try the Hemp Hand Cream, and to be honest, I did not like the scent of it all when I first tried it. And it did take me some time to get used to it, but once I did, and I noticed the obvious difference in my skin, I was in love with it. It is a little pricey, but it is worth every cent. I also keep a small tube of it in my purse to use throughout the day. -
