Neutrogena Skin Balancing Gentle Clay Cleanser for Oily Skin Type

It's maybe not fair that I'm writing this review just 20 minutes after using this cleanser and haven't given it time for other opinions to form... but it's all positive ones so far! This clay one is marketed to oily skin, for obvious reasons I think, and I can't say much on whether it works better than other cleansers in that department, but it definitely gets the job done during a wash and doesn't leave skin feeling dry or stripped like harsher ones might do. There's a nice, light, cucumber scent and the product looks like a clay mask, just not as thick. It lathers a little and spreads on the face but does feel a little bit tacky. Thankfully, it washes off easily and leaves skin with that fresh feeling you have when you rinse off an actual clay mask. Because the product is a bit thicker than say a gel or liquid cleanser, you can see some of it in the nozzle opening (cream cleansers are like this sometimes). That part worries me that it will dry and get hard in there, the way that a clay mask does, but it's still too soon to tell if that's a problem. In terms of keeping oil at bay, it's too soon to tell but I'm not getting my hopes up because I find that my moisturizer/other skincare is more of a factor here than the cleanser I use. Keeping my fingers crossed though! -

This was a life saver for me. Out of nowhere, I started getting extreme sensitivity and couldn't go 5 minutes without moaning in pain. Eating, drinking, and even breathing were torture. Cue this toothpaste, and after 1-2 days, there was so much relief that I could go about my day normally again without worrying about the shooting pain in my mouth. The only drawback is that I find that not using the toothpaste just for one day leaves me with sensitivity coming back the next day. -
McCain Deep 'n Delicious Chocolate Cake
This is a classic that never goes wrong for me. It's nice, rich, chocolatey taste that doesn't get too overpoweringly sweet. It always hits the spot and feels like such an indulgence even though you can easily get it at any grocery store and it's... +
This is a classic that never goes wrong for me. It's nice, rich, chocolatey taste that doesn't get too overpoweringly sweet. It always hits the spot and feels like such an indulgence even though you can easily get it at any grocery store and it's inexpensive (although it's been no stranger to inflation over the last decade). I loved this as a kid and still love it now. Whenever I get to the last piece though, I'm always thinking "That was good... but why isn't it deeper??" -
Yves rocher hydra vegetal gel cream

I liked the fresh scent of this and the concept of a gel cream (it was my first gel cream) but this did not live up to what I was hoping for. This was suggested to me as a better option to stay matte but I found that it sent my sebum production into overdrive every time I used it. I used it overnight a few times and was a shiny, oily mess in the mornings. When I used it in the day time, the same thing happened and it was probably only 30 mins tops before the oil came out to play. I've had mixed success with gel creams, and this one was a miss for me. -

I bought this in the deluxe size and it lasted me about two years (I didn't use it every day, although you can if you want to). It's got a pleasant sweet scent, and sits comfortably on the lips. I often press my lips together and it slides around well when doing that. The next morning, you're supposed to wash it off, and I usually find that there's just a little bit left in the morning. Lips are soft and smooth the next day but I get the same effect from using a natural lip balm at night. It feels luxurious to use, but it's not a must-have. I'm not sure how it works on extremely dry and cracked lips as I don't have that, but it does a good job with a little bit of dryness. -
Neutrogena® Hydro Boost Hyaluronic Acid Serum

I like that this is easy to use/apply and doesn't feel sticky or thick when combined with other skin care. It absorbs well and feels comfortable on the skin. I tried to identify a scent but this doesn't have too strong of a smell, so maybe it's actually scentless. There's small grains in the formula and I'm not sure what happens to them because you can see them when you use the dropper but I don't see them on the face afterwards. I don't have dry skin at the moment so I can't tell how effective this is in hydrating, but it does feel like it would work well. -

This is applied like an overnight mask that restores moisture and gives you an antioxidant treatment. It smells like the other hydroboost products (if you've ever tried them and remember the scent from the creams) and sits comfortably and spreads well. I like the texture but I'm not sure if I would purchase again, just because I usually don't use creams or masks at night. I don't have any dry spots at the moment so I've gotten into the habit of just using light serums at night. Because I don't have dry skin now, I also can't really tell how well this performed in terms of moisture. -
Febreze Car Vent Clips Freshener in Linen & Sky
These are small, compact, and don't get in the way of anything when you clip them in. The scent is pleasant and effective but not overpowering. I hate when an air freshener makes the whole car stink of it for the first few days until it wears... +
These are small, compact, and don't get in the way of anything when you clip them in. The scent is pleasant and effective but not overpowering. I hate when an air freshener makes the whole car stink of it for the first few days until it wears away. This one does a good job of making it smell good for a long time and not getting too strong. -
Origins retexturing mask with rose clay
This is a clay mask that's easy to use and looks nice with its light pink hue. In terms of effectiveness I don't know if it really did anything for me. My face feels fresh and clean after washing it off but that's the result I get from any mask... +
This is a clay mask that's easy to use and looks nice with its light pink hue. In terms of effectiveness I don't know if it really did anything for me. My face feels fresh and clean after washing it off but that's the result I get from any mask, luxury brand or drugstore. At the price point, I don't think it's worth it for me to get another one if I don't notice any special benefits from this one. -

I recently learned about proper cleansing, especially when wearing makeup. This was a good cleansing jelly that's easy to use as a first step in your cleansing. It melts away makeup before you go in with an actual cleanser and wash your face. It's also satisfying to use when you work up a milky mess on your face when you're taking off your makeup lol. -
