I received this as part of a review for another website. I have been using it daily for around 3 months and it really works. My face isn't as oily, I have had almost no breakouts and it isn't drying. Bonus is that you really don't need a lot of product either. The name is misleading as it really is a liquid and not a gel, so I have used around a dime size of product only once a day. A downside is that I have found when I don't use it for 2 days, then breakouts threaten but go away when use resumes.
I would definitely get this again, even though I find Burts to be a little expensive, but it has lasted so it will balance out. I haven't really seen it though in stores in the facewash section, so it may be a hunt to find.

I bought this on a whim hoping that it would decrease the look of my dark circles. No amount of sleep helps, it actually makes it worse! I am not a big makeup girl, so no foundation or coverup usually. I can't really say that this works; the liquid does not glide on nicely, usually there is too much and it comes out fast. The commercial is really misleading. I find I need to use a makeup brush to smooth it out. Whatever difference there is to my appearance is minimal. I tried some before and after the 7 days Garnier says will change things, and in photos there was no difference.
One good point is that it does blend nicely, considering that there is only one shade of it.
Will I buy it again? maybe.
Would I recommend it? maybe, if you are looking for a quick fix because of a late night and don't have chronic eye circles then no.

I got this product as part of the Product Review Club the day before I left for Tuscany, where there was to be nothing but sun! I love Neutrogena products and regularily use their Healthy Defense daily SPF 45 moisturizer (as recommended by my dermatologist). I have got to say that I prefer the moisturizer over the straight sunscreen. I switched back and forth between the two for my whole vacation (10 days) and they both did a great job as sunscreen, no burns or pinkness and I didn't reapply even after sweating and swimming. I didn't like how the straight sunscreen was runny or the applicator bottle because I felt that it wasn't controllable and I ended up not sure if I had gotten everywhere. I prefer the moisturizer because it is just thick enough and glides on smoothly, plus I have the added benefit of a moisturizer. If I wasn't using their other product, then this would be great. It does the job really well, isn't sticky or smelly and being that it is just for the face, a good value. -

I got to test the Nutriganics lotion for the Review Club and at first I was skeptical that it would actually work. I don't have that many fine lines to begin with, but if this would keep them at bay, go for it. I was on and off the 2x a day usage, mainly because of the heat, but I loved the smell and how my skin felt after putting it on. I did start to see the lines on my neck dissipate, but only when I was religiously using the product, if you go off a day or so, they come back.
I would recommend it because a little of the serum goes a long way, and the price overall is pretty good compared to department brands. It isn't greasy at all, and instantly absorbs into the skin with an immediate glow effect.
I will probably buy another, and am curious to see how long the bottle will last.

I loved this ice cream! I tried the creme caramel and the chocolate and they were VERY creamy. None of the bad taste associated with lower fat ice cream at all. The flavours were rich and real. I recommended it to everyone I saw over the May 24.
The only thing I wasn't impressed with was the price, I saw it in the store last weekend for almost $10 a tub!

I was hesitant to spend the money on the product at first, but getting regular highlights was the decision maker. Every time I use it (only once a week) I get asked if I just got my colour done. It is really effective at taking the brassiness out of the blond and really brightens up my highlights so they look new. The price becomes more manageable being that it is used only once a week, so one bottle should last most of the year. -

I got my fiance to use the product because I love Dove products for delivering moisture. I saw an immediate result in his skin being softer and no longer dry (he was using a popular men's body wash---think ---Effect).
His only complaint is that is doesn't lather a lot but he likes it!

A dinner for four, with pre-drinks, bottle of wine and dessert for around $200. All four of us loved it! From the decor (was on Restaurant Makeover, so new and modern) to the unobtrusive wait staff, and of course the food, our experience here was great! We all had apps, caeser salad, roast beet with goat cheese salad and poached pear salad, which were so delicious. THree of us had the steak with yukon and sweet potato fries, the other chicken with Bing cherry compote and chive latka. No morsels were left! Steaks done perfectly, tender and juicy. Dessert was white chocolate tower with cherry mousse, tiramisu in a chocolate cup, very good! Will definitely be going back. -

I got this moisturizer through the Product Review Club. I have usually buy Vasoline products, so I had high hopes, and it didn't disappoint! It has an slightly overpowering scent at first, but it doesn't linger. The lotion goes on smoothly, and penetrates quickly, so my hands (and legs) weren't greasy afterwards. My legs do usually feel dry even after moisturizer, but I found that my legs still felt nice at the end of the day, and even after a shower the next morning using the Sheer Moisturizer. I would definitely buy the product again. -
Neutrogena Blackhead Eliminating Daily Face Scrub
I have also tried the daily blackhead scrub and found there is no difference. My face is clearer and feels less oily. Even my fiance uses it! Good scrub effect, not harsh but you know that it is exfoliating. Nice smell, not offensive.
