If you’re someone who likes a lightweight, gentle lotion, this is for you. I tend to like the thicker lotions that verge more on a cream, but this was lovely to stumble across as I likely wouldn’t have bought it for myself otherwise. It feels nice and hydrating, and will be something I reach for! -

This was such a nice surprise out of a body wash. It lathers nicely, leaves the skin feeling clean and hydrated but doesn’t strip my skin or leave me with soap scum. It’s so nice to finally have a body wash that does what I want without all the “extras” so many others put in! I really like it! -

This is a nice serum! If you’re looking for a lighter version of the hydro boost moisturizer, this might be for you. I doesn’t feel much different than the moisturizer but a thinner texture, and with a little less “oomf”. I think this would be really lovely on days your want hydrated skin but no makeup in the morning! -

This feels like I’m finally WITH drugstore skincare, I’m getting on the hype thanks to this! The Hydro Boost Gel Cream is everything you’d want when you think “Gel Cream”. It doesn’t feel thin and watery, and I was surprised by how substantial it felt in the jar. It has that truly nice cooling effect when you put it on, but still feels like it’s giving some “oomf” to your skin. Count me as a fan! -
MOTRIN Super Strength Liquid Gels
This seems to be the hidden gem that I always forget about. I always get really bad cramps due to PCOS and this seems to have slipped through my fingers for years, but now that I've tried it again it'll be something I purchase in the future!

I've used this face wash a few times and it's definitely a product where if I had it I would use it, but if I had the option there are many other things I'd rather pick. I find that it resembles liquid soap and can sometimes leave the "squeaky clean" feeling on my skin, which I do not like. That feeling means it has stripped your face of natural oils and is over-cleaning. I find it does this if I just wash my face in the sink at night. I do like it in the shower though because I find that the steam replenishes a lot of moisture in my face. Again, not the best, but certainly not the worst! -

This stuff is UNBEATABLE! If you use this you will never switch to another cleanser, I can almost guarantee it. It cleans your skin of all makeup and residue without stripping you of your natural oils like so many cleansers do. When you wash your face it should never feel tight and "squeaky" clean, if it does it means your oils have been stripped away. This cleans, tightens, brightens and plumps your skin with one product! My skin started clearing up the second that I started using this stuff and saved my acne. Yes, it's a little pricey but I buy the small bottle from Sephora ($20 CAN) and it typically lasts me 2-3 months when I wash my face 1-2 times a day. You need a pea sized amount and it cleans everything. This is so gentle and amazing, EVERYONE needs it! -

This primer is great for smoothing out and filling in your pores, but you need to be careful with this stuff!
This is a silicone based primer (which is why it gives that silk-like feeling) which is why it's so great at blurring your pores, but you need to make sure you wash your face really well after using it. It has a tenancy to sit in your pores and will stay there unless you do a through job scrubbing your face afterwards. As with all silicone based primers, it's not great on oily skin. The oils in your face will try to seep out and get trapped by the silicone - nothing gets out, and nothing gets in. It's a barrier for your skin and can be the cause of a breakout. If you use this make sure to give your face lots of breaks and do not use it every day! If you have oily skin, I would not recommend this.
I find this to actually be the worst of all silicone based primers. Yes, it makes your skin look beautiful and I will still wear it if I have an event that I know I will be at for less than five hours. But this can cause havoc on your face and cause more harm than good! My suggestion is to stay away from silicone based primers all together.

This stuff is great if you're looking for a "barely there" finish to smooth out your skin and even out your tone. I do find that it occasionally oxidizes but if you pair it with a good primer you'll be set. I will say that this is not a build-able foundation and it will slide around if you try to build it up to a higher coverage. It's great on summer days or when you're not really going anywhere! -
