I'm very prone to urinary tract infections due to long-term medication I take and it sucks! The symptoms are highly irritating and I hate having to take antibiotics because it interferes with other medications I take resulting in a vicious cycle of discomfort! Swiss Natural Cran-Max is a super-concentrated supplement that helps prevent recurrent urinary tract infections with it's 100% pure cranberry solids formula, so basically exactly what I need. After taking the product for 4-6 weeks and being UTI clear, it's definitely helping. I can always feel when a UTI is starting and I haven't had any UTI symptoms at all so I'm very hopeful that continuing on this product will eliminate my UTI suffering for good. I'm very glad I found Swiss Natural Cran-Max and I will continue taking it. -

Hitting my 40's while having young children at home has really taken its toll on my sleep patterns and everything that comes with it. Suddenly looking in the mirror in the morning is daunting when all I see looking back at me is a visual reminder of how exhausted I am - eye puffiness, dark circles, and now wrinkles. Wrinkles! When did my fine lines change to wrinkles?! The skin around my eyes is so hard to treat because the cold Canadian winters dry out my skin and only the mildest products will do, which aren't always super effective. Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel has been a game changer for me. It's gentle enough to retain and improve my moisture barrier so my wrinkles are slowly relaxing and looking much better. You get a healthy dose of effective ingredients, like cranberry extract (a plant-based retinol alternative), colloidal oatmeal, and niacinamide that are gentle and won't irritate an already sensitive area. The result is smoother, brighter skin around your eyes making you finally look like you're more awake and ready to take on the day. It also works perfectly under makeup so you can benefit from the long lasting effects all day long. -

Gentle and effective are two words you don't typically see together when discussing age renewing products. But Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum is, first and foremost, both of those things - gentle and effective. The product goes on smooth and works fabulously under makeup. It provides the perfect level of moisture to your skin without being too thick and without being overly drying. The serum is truly weightless and provides a gentleness you don't often see in age defying products.

These ingredients work together to hydrate and soothe the skin, improving the look of fine line and wrinkles, and improving your skin's tone and texture. The end result is smoother and brighter looking skin. My skin has never looked or felt so healthy, especially at the end of winter! I look refreshed and ready to take on the spring with a fabulous glow. Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Serum has become a central part of both my morning and evening skin routine. -

Aveeno Calm + Restore Daily Moisturizer is a simple product that is highly effective and provides a wide range of benefits. It offers lightweight moisture that won't clog pores. Being from Aveeno, you immediately know it's formulated to work well with sensitive skin. It contains colloidal oat and feverfew to provide soothing moisture. This is especially important during the long Canadian winter months when my skin is constantly exposed to cold, wind, and sun. With SPF 30 and UVA/UVB protection using 100% mineral actives, you can rest assured that your skin will be protected. I love it for the winter because we spend lots of time on the hill downhill skiing, so it's an easy way to fight sun damage.

After a long summer filled with pool parties and sunscreen usage, my skin was in rough shape, literally! Aveeno Tone + Texture Renewing Body Scrub was a brilliant find.

Aveeno Tone + Texture Renewing Body Scrub contains oat and niacinamide to help nourish your skin as it exfoliates, leaving it silky smooth. Plus it contains NO parabens, soaps, dyes, or sulfates, making it super gentle on your skin. After about a week of use, my skin was completely revived. My skin tone is much improved, and the texture of my skin is nothing short of miraculous! I've never been silkier and my skin is so wonderfully moisturized, it's completely rejuvenated! I highly recommend this product for keeping your skin looking amazing! -

The craziest thing happened to me! We were visiting a cottage on a lake for the Labour Day long weekend. The weather was HOT so we basically spent the weekend in the lake.

Literally the next day, I have my own outbreak of the biggest, itchiest hives you can imagine, covering my entire body! My poor skin was horrendous - completely dried out and cracking from itching so much. Aveeno Calm + Restore Skin Therapy Balm to the rescue!
