There's really a reason why this is the best-rated antiperspirant out there.
I've been using this product in its various iterations since I hit puberty. Without fail, every time I've tried something else I've always returned to what works best. It glides on easily, leaves no residue, and lasts till the end of the day. The smell is very faint but clean (cucumber all the way!). What more could you possibly ask for?

Ultimately, these would be better marketed as flavour boosts, not instant coffee. I couldn't taste any of the coffee at all, not underneath the flavours.
Pretty bleh.

I received a sample of the Dual Therapy Orchid Oil by ReDavid through the #OrchidOilChallenge, and was hoping it could help with the extreme frizziness that I deal with as a result of colour damage.
First off, the design of the product packaging is impractical. The two different parts of the product are stored separately, but need to be mixed in equal parts before use. It would make much more sense and be easier to use if they were stored already mixed in a bottle you shake before use.
Unfortunately, the product did nothing for the frizz. It is just as bad as before, and adding to the trouble, the oil of the product has weighed down my hair more than any other type I've used before. I have mid-length wavy, medium hair so I used a small amount, but it still ultimately left me greasy very quickly.
Ultimately not worth it for me.

After years of avoiding moisturizers for my oily skin out of fear of breakouts, I've finally found my golden egg.
The gel is designed for oilier skin in mind, and it has yet to cause any related breakouts. I've also noticed considerably less overall oiliness especially in the heat and humidy of the summer, which has improved my skin on the whole.
Very happy with this product!

I've been using the Vitamin C Cleansing Polish from the Body Shop since the beginning of the summer, and I believe that its the best single-product change to my skincare routine that I've ever made since realising you are supposed to moisturise.
Like all Body Shop products, the packaging is minimal and appealing, and looks great in the bathroom. The product itself has very little smell (slightly fruity, but barely noticeable), and no colour which leaves any stains or marks on the skin. It is also 100% microbead/plastic free, and uses jojoba seeds to exfoliate which is good if you're environmentally-conscous.
Since using this on a daily basis, I've noticed a dramatic brightening of my skin overall, especially in the under-eye area and acne spot scars. The exfoliation isn't too rough so I feel cleansed but not raw, and has helped with the overall softness and texture of my skin.
A little goes a far way with this as well, which is always great! I'm on my second bottle now and will keep using it for a long time.
