I recently tried PanOxyl Acne Wash for the first time. During my puberty and my 20s I used to have severe cystic acne on my face. But now it is not anymore. Now I often have whiteheads and blackheads that mainly located on my jawline & cheek areas. After years of fighting acne, I finally made peace with myself to accept my the acne in my face. I was not looking for an anti acne product anymore, until I tried PanOxyl Acne series. It is a multi steps products that helps to clear & prevent acne.
The first product of the PanOxyl Acne series that I tried is Panoxyl Acne Wash. It is a face cleanser that I used during shower to cleaned my face then rinsed it with water. The Acne Wash have a white cream texture that will turn into soapy bubble when mixed and lathered with water. After I applied the Acne Wash to my face the rinsed it, my face feel clean, soft, and not too dry.

During and after using the Acne Wash, I did not experience any discomfort of irritation on my skin.

I recently tried Clean Reserve H2eau Collection Eau De Perfume for the second time. This time I tried the Nectarine Petal scent. Upon the first application, I can smell the scent of a mixed summer fruits. With the dominant scent of ripe nectarine smell. Within hours of application, the nectarine smell is slowly transformed into a nectarine mixed with floral scent. I think it is the Jasmine notes that I smelled. But one thing that I knew for sure is, it left a sweetness blends of fruits and floral.
It is an alcohol free perfume. The advanced water based formula is ensuring that the Nectarine Petal is a long lasting perfume. It is also gentle and hydrating to the skin without compromising quality. It is suitable enough for those with sensitive skin.

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.

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 Everist The Deep Conditioning Concentrate for the first time. The Everist Conditioner is packaged in a aluminum tube. All my life, the type of conditioner that I used is always a liquid or cream form in a plastic tube or bottle. This is an entirely new experience for me to have a conditioner in a rich cream form on an aluminum tube.
Since I have a long hair, I squeezed about 3 inch length of the concentrated shampoo out of the tube. As it directed in 'How-to' use the conditioner that written on the box packaging. Then I rubbed the conditioner over wet hands and spread evenly through very wet hair. Once the rich cream conditioner have dissolved in my hands, the conditioner texture's became thinner.
After I rubbed it into my wet hair, then I left it some time for the conditioner absorbed into my hair. For a deep conditioning treatment, leave on 15 minutes before rinsing. To rinsed it off was easy, it did not take a long time and a lot of water to get a clean hair.
The Everist Conditioner has a mild herbal smell. The smell is a blend of Citrus, Rosemary, Sage, Peppermint, and Bergamot. It left a pleasant smell on my hair after I rinsed and dried it.
After I dried my hair, I also noticed that the conditioner has kept the hydration on my hair, especially on the lower part of my hair. My hair felt soft, easy to untangled, and no frizz.
I am really happy after used the Everist the deep concentrated conditioner. It is an innovative conditioner that is deliver a good outcome.

Once the thickness paste of form of the shampoo in my hands has been dissolved, then the bubbles started to appeared.
What I noticed with Everist's shampoo is, after I rubbed it into my wet hair and gave a little massage. Then I felt my hair is not too 'soapy' and slippery.
