I recently tried Tom's of Maine Aluminum Free deodorant for the first time. With growing concerns about the potential health risks associated with aluminum based antiperspirants, finding a reliable alternative has become a priority for me.
I applied Tom's after I shower in the night. I did not apply anymore deodorant until I finish shower on the next day. Throughout the day I feel fresh and confident knowing that my body odor is under control.
I've tried many different types of natural deodorant in the past. But only Tom's that gave me a cooling sensation to my underarm skin while I applying it. It may just a simple thing, but for me this is set Tom's apart with other natural deodorant that I've tried.
I also like the commitment of Tom's that the formula that they used to make the product is derived from natural ingredients. It is feels gentle on skin, but still delivering an odor fighting power. Knowing that I am not exposed to harsh chemical is also an important factor.

I recently tried Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen SPF 50 sensitive. As a person who use sunscreen everyday all year long, finding a right sunscreen is a necessity. The type of sunscreen that I usually choose is between SPF 30 to SPF 50. I believe the higher level of SPF formula that is contained in the sunscreen will shield my skin from UV A & B rays. This level of protection is essential for preventing sunburns and long term sun damage.
The sunscreen has a liquid creamy texture that glides easily when applied to the skin. It is also fast to absorb into the skin. It did not leave any 'heavy' feeling that some sunscreens can leave behind.
I do not have a sensitive skin. But for those with a sensitive skin, Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen SPF 50 sensitive is an appropriate sunscreen to use. It is providing an effective protection without causing irritation or discomfort.
I like that fact that the sunscreen has no fragrance or very mild fragrance. As a person who prefers a non scented skincare product, this is an excellent choice of sunscreen for me.

I recently tried Clean Reserve H2EAU COLLECTION for the first time. It is an advanced water based formula of Eau De Perfume. Upon the first spray, I can smell the scent of ripe citrus. For me as someone who prefers perfume that does not have an overpowering smell, Golden Citrus is an ideal choice. Within hours of application, the citrusy smell is slowly transformed into a citrus mixed with floral scent. I could not figure it out or describes what kind of floral notes that I smelled. But one thing that I knew that it left a sweet, refreshing, and uplifting smell.
It is an alcohol free perfume. The advanced water based formula is ensuring that the Golden Citrus fragrance is long lasting. It is also gentle and hydrating to the skin without compromising quality. It is suitable enough for those with sensitive skin.

Since 2 weeks ago, I used Aveeno's Calm+Restore Age Renewal serum on every night. My first impression of this serum is this serum has a lightweight texture. It glides smoothly on my face skin, leaving a feeling of hydrated and refreshed. It is also non fragrance serum, it is suitable for those who prefer a skincare product without any added perfume or scent.
Aveeno Calm+Restore Age Renewal serum is packaged in a glass bottle with pumping applicator. I do not need a lot of serum to be able to cover all area on my face. All I need is about 2 full pumps only. The serum is also absorbed quickly into the skin. I did not feel any stickiness or greasy feeling that linger on my skin.
I have a some issues with my face in the past weeks, that I felt my face skin is a little bit sensitive. By using the serum regularly since the past 2 weeks, I am hoping to reduce my skin's sensitivity. Upon application of the serum, I can feel an immediate soothing sensation. I can say that this is a good sign for my skin, because I think Aveno Calm+Restore serum worked gently without giving my face a harsh and shocking treatment.
My concern about the signs aging of aging is the appearing of black spots on my face. This is one of the sign of aging that I like to addressed. By using the serum regularly on every night, I noticed the black spots on my face is slowly reduced. For the blackspot that caused by acne scars, I think the serum worked to made the black spots dried it out and peeled off by itself. And for the black spots that caused by the sun damage, I can see that it the black spots color is slowly faded, not as as darker as before I used the serum. My goal to a have a face skin without any visible black spots is a long way to, but so far the serum is already given a proven result. I need to keep using the serum until the next 2 weeks in order the get the maximum benefit of using the serum.

I recently tried Aveeno Calm+Restore Age Renewal Eye serum for the first time. It has a lightweight texture and absorbs quickly to the skin around eyes area. The gel does not feels heavy, I can sense a cooling sensation once I applied it to my skin.
I was surprised to see of how small the packaging and the actual weight of the gel itself. I thought it was a sample size that I received to try and review. But, after I used it couple times, I understand that in a small amount of this gel, it can cover all the skin surface on the eyes area.
I do not mind to have a skincare or make up product with fragrance. But if I to choose to have a fragrance or not on my skincare product I choose not to have any fragrance. It is such a nice feature of this eye gel, that to have eye gel that fragrance free.
Aveeno Calm+Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel is tested on sensitive skin, it is hypoallergenic, paraben free, phthalate free, dye free, alcohol free, and has a non-comedogenic formula.
So far by used it couple times in a few days, I noticed that the skin on my eyes area are hydrated. By using the eye gel daily, the hydrating formula will visibly improves the look of puffiness and dullness in just 1 week.

Recently my 5 years old boy had a mild headache. Then I turned into Children's Tylenol Acetaminophen Oral Suspension Liquid. I used the measuring cup that's included in the box packaging. I administered the dosage for him according to his appropriate age. Not long after he took the oral suspension's liquid, my child's headache reduced, and he was back to his playful self.
It was around 11am when I administered the Children's Tylenol for my son. I was little bit worried that he took the syrup after 3 hours past his breakfast time. But since he was such in a discomfort I still gave it to him anyway. Luckily, the Children's Tylenol have a gentle formula, which is easy on the stomach. My child didn't experience any digestive discomfort after taking it.
He tried the Children's Tylenol Banana Berry flavor for the first time and he liked it immediately.
For me as his mother, it was such a relief to see him feeling better so quickly, allowing him to resume his normal activities without being hindered by headache.

I recently tried Aveeno Calm+ Restore Daily Moisturizer for the first time. The first thing that I noticed as soon as I squeezed the cream out of the bottle is how lightweight and quiet liquid the texture is. Then when I applied to my face, it effortlessly glides onto the skin, absorbing quickly without leaving any greasy residue.
It is a lightly tinted moisturizer. It has enough formula to lightly cover dark spots or uneven skin tone.
Since I applied in the morning, until the next 8 hours ahead, the moisturizer hydrated my skin really well. During that 8 hours period since I used it in the morning, I did spend some time outdoor. Even after some time spent outdoor on winter time, my face did not dried out. I still can feel the smooth and hydration left on my face.
Aveeno Calm + Restore is enriched with SPF30. As we all know, sun protection is crucial for maintaining healthy and youthful skin. The fact that this moisturizer is included the SPF30, is simplified my makeup routine. By using this moisturizer with SPF30, I no longer need to apply another sunscreen on the top of my moisturizer, like what I normally do. I think it has enough SPF to ensures protection against UVA and UVB rays, shielding my skin from potential damage throughout the day.
The fragrance-free formula is another thing that I like about this product, making it good choice for those who prefer fragrance-free skincare product. It's also Hypoallergenic and Paraben Free, making it suitable to use for those with sensitive skin type.

I recently tried Grown Alchemist Body Cream for the first time. The cream have an ideal consistency of not being to thick or runny. It is semifluid enough to glides well on my skin without leaving greasy residue. I personally do not like body lotion or cream that have a strong perfume smell. This body cream have a subtle and mild smell of mandarin and rosemary leaf smell. Even though with it's mild smell, the smell will still linger throughout the day.
The body cream is free from harmful chemicals and instead relies on a blend of organic botanicals, antioxidants, and vitamins. This makes it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types, providing deep hydration without causing irritation.
After used the body cream for couple of times to my arm and legs, I noticed the driest part of my skin such as on my elbows and my legs are much more hydrated and smoother than before using it.
I also applied the body cream to my hands every time after I washed it. This will prevent my hand skin become dry and cracking after I rinsed it with the soap.
