I'm prone to headaches with various triggers, and I do get migraines as well, so having good, reliable pain relief on hand is important. This new Tylenol daytime has been great so far. I've taken it a few times now, and I'm quite happy with the results. The pain relief is effective with one extra strength pill per dose. It goes down easily without getting stuck in my throat (another problem I do run into unfortunately), and it takes effect pretty quickly. The caffeine component helps it move faster and gives you a little boost both of relief and energy, which is really helpful when you're dealing with a headache in the middle of the day and still need to get stuff done.
I also tried this for my plantar fasciitis pain, as I've been dealing with some intense pain there almost every day. It did help with that also, soothing the pain enough to get trough my daily tasks. Ultimately, I think this is a great daytime pain killer to both ease pain and help push you through when you really need it.

I always moisturize after a shower, and in the winter months, even more often than that to keep itchiness from dry skin at bay. I've tried a good number of moisturizers and body lotions, and many of them, even when advertised for dry skin, just don't cut it without layering or extra steps. This one is legitimately nourishing and moisturizing in one single application.
It's a thicker cream texture, white in colour, and without noticeable scent. A single pump spreads quite far, so you don't have to keep dispensing to get full body coverage. It can take a minute to rub in or sink in, and during that time it does look white until you have it fully massaged in. Obviously, I cannot attest to whether it has a white cast on deeper skin tones. For me, once I massage it in, it disappears and feels light but fully moisturizing. It doesn't leave a sticky feeling nor weird residue, and it keeps that itchy, tight feeling thoroughly at bay all day.
Overall, I'm very happy with this body lotion. I would recommend it to anyone with dry skin who needs a good option for body.

I have dry and often sensitive skin, so the only body washes I can consistently use are hydrating, gentle, and designed not to strip the skin in the process of cleansing. This is surprisingly harder to come by than you might think, but this one actually hits the mark. It is a gel-type cleanser and lathers up (though lathers best with a loofa or bath sheet of course), so it spreads well over the body too. You don't need a whole lot to feel properly clean. It also rinses off easily without effort and without leaving behind a residue or feeling of a layer on the skin. But it still somehow leaves my skin feeling good, not overly dry, not stripped. I still moisturize after showering, but it is a much easier process and I find I need less moisturizer, less effort to get my skin back to feeling good as compared to other body washes.
I'm overall really happy with this body wash and recommend it to anyone with dry skin who is looking for a good body wash.

I love Aveeno's standard oat lotion/hand cream as I find it is always consistent in quality and does a good job of moisturizing without leaving residue or stickiness or irritating my skin. I was excited to try this lotion for that reason, and I find this one is just as nice. It definite feels gentler even than the standard one. I have keratosis pilaris and use adapalene on my arms for it, so my arms are SUPER dry and easily irritated. This cream did not irritate me in the slightest (no redness or breakouts or rashes or random extra bumps as I sometimes get with other creams). I was also soothing on the skin, but for my arms specifically, one "coat" of this was not enough to keep the dry itchiness at bay. I had to go back and do a second pump on each arm. For my legs, however, which are still dry but not to the insane degree my arms are, it worked great with a single pump as I normally would use.
Overall, I would recommend this cream, particularly to those with sensitive skin. If your skin is also SUPER dry, then you might want to apply in layers, but the lack of irritation or sensitivity to it makes this lotion worth it for those particularly difficult areas.

I have always generally liked Aveeno products as I find them gentle and reliable to not irritate my skin. This body wash was no exception to that. It is a thicker gel-type consistency, lathers really well, spreads easily, and cleanses well. It also doesn't totally strip my skin like many other cleansers do. I've had to switch to an oil body cleanser for my dry skin, so trying this after that was a bit of a concern, but it really did a good job. It is slightly more drying than my oil cleanser, but for a normal foaming cleanser this is fabulous. So I think this is great particularly for warmer/summer months where the humidity is higher. I don't only rely on my cleanser/body wash for moisture, obviously, so I think this one is a good option to keep in rotation. -

The Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum is a lovely, lightweight creamy serum that glides over skin easily and absorbs well into skin. A little goes a long way, so there's no need for excessive pumping to get even coverage and application. It also layers well under other skincare (moisturizer and SPF) without pilling or causing awkward reactions.
I have patches on my neck in particular that get irritated and sensitized periodically, and I used this to help recover and restore my skin barrier. At first, even this did sting a little bit on those areas, but after a day or two, the areas healed enough and this finished the job of getting my skin back to standard, non-sensitized state. I used it morning and night and found that it did a lovely job of plumping the skin and soothing and hydrating it.
I would recommend this product to anyone with sensitive skin or who needs a gentle and soothing alternative to the other serums on the market. To be clear, the only reason I might not pick this up again in future is because I don't know that I always need it in my routine (versus the eye cream that has a consistent place). But going forward, I would say this is one of the rotating options I would pick up again (I do switch my serums periodically so there's a handful I rotate).

Aveeno® Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel

I have been having a rough time with eye creams and products lately, where either they're too intense for my eye area and cause irritation and dryness, or else they're too thick and end up causing tons of milia and texture over time. This Aveeno Eye Balm actually turned out to be the perfect balance for me.
The texture is kind of gel-like, thick but not heavy or dense like some creams, and a tiny bit goes a long way. It smooths on the skin around the eye super easily and gives immediate soothing to dry and irritated skin. I also am able to use it twice a day (morning and night) without any build-up or milia or anything like that (and previous creams would cause that using them only once daily). My eye area is clear and smooth and hydrated, and I'm so happy.
This is also nourishing and gentle enough that I use it as a spot treatment on irritated patches I have elsewhere. Around my nostrils has also gotten red and itchy from constant blowing this winter, and putting a little bit of this (literally whatever is left on my finger once I'm done patting it around my eye) has helped immensely in restoring my skin barrier and easing irritation.
I'm super pleased with this and absolutely would recommend it if you need something gentle and moisturizing.

I'm very picky about my vitamin C serums. They can easily be finicky with other skincare, difficult on the skin, or just be a terrible experience to use. This one is none of those things, and I'm so so happy. It's a three-in-one type serum and within the bottle the three components are kept separate until you press the pump. Then they all dispense at once and you mix it in on your face (or hands first if you like). The three parts blend smoothly together, and then spread easily on the skin. It has a floral fragrance, but that dissipates pretty quickly. The serum itself feels medium in weight (not too thick or thin) and plays nicely with my other skincare. No pilling at all, which is great. It also did not cause me any irritation, nor reaction and my skin is reasonably sensitive. It also worked nicely under makeup too.
The only critique would be that when you first open the bottle, it takes a little bit for all three serums to come out. So there were a few pumps of just one or two of the components before I got an even dispensing of all three, and this was only sad because I didn't want to waste any at all, haha. Really, a lovely quality skincare serum.
