I recently took this primer on vacation to the Dominican Republic, and it was a game-changer! The cooling effect upon application was refreshing, especially in the hot and humid climate. Despite the challenging conditions, my makeup lasted longer than usual. I noticed a significant blurring effect, especially when applied both before and after foundation. The lightweight formula felt comfortable on my skin, and I appreciated that it's silicone-free. Plus, the adaptogens like Reishi Mushroom and Ashwagandha seemed to strengthen my skin barrier, which is a big bonus. Overall, I'm impressed with how this primer smoothed my skin and helped my makeup stay put, making it a must-have for my beauty routine. Plus, the fact that I received it free from butterly for a review makes it even better!

The packaging of the Aveeno Calm and Restore moisturizer is both practical and visually appealing. The inclusion of a safety seal adds an extra layer of assurance, guaranteeing the product's integrity upon purchase. It's a small detail, but one that reflects Aveeno's commitment to quality.
As someone with dry skin, I was delighted to discover the triple oat complex in this moisturizer. The clinical benefits of Aveeno's usage of oats are well-documented, and I could feel the hydration penetrating my skin. The inclusion of feverfew, known for its soothing properties, further enhances the product's effectiveness in minimizing redness caused by dry skin. In the photo, you can see the difference, just on my hand.
As we know, sun protection is paramount in any skincare routine, and Aveeno's use of mineral-based zinc oxide and titanium dioxide ensures broad-spectrum defense against harmful rays. This is particularly reassuring in preventing premature aging and maintaining skin health, and I loved that it didn’t leave that tell-tale white chalky look that zinc sun protection often does.
I also appreciate that this daily moisturizer is fragrance-free, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin. The Aveeno Calm and Restore SPF 30 daily moisturizer effortlessly combines defense and hydration, and a little tint provides a comprehensive solution for all skin types.
In conclusion, Aveeno has succeeded in creating a dermatologist-recommended moisturizer that not only protects but also soothes and nourishes the skin. If you're in search of a reliable daily moisturizer with SPF, the Aveeno Calm and Restore is a must-try for its impressive formulation and noticeable results.

Sambucol Black Elderberry Immunity + Cold and Flu Relief Gummies have truly been a game-changer for me. As a 54-year-old with a somewhat compromised immune system, I often find myself susceptible to colds. However, when I was given the opportunity to review this product, it coincided with my exposure to a nasty cold virus that swept through my family. To my amazement, I remained illness-free.
I can't say for certain if it was the Sambucol or nature's luck, but the timing was impeccable. This product seemed to fortify my immune system during a critical moment. It's reassuring to know that Sambucol can be a reliable addition to my arsenal for future bouts of illness. I'm genuinely grateful for this experience and its potential to help me stay healthier. Sambucol, thank you for being there when I needed you most!

I recently began using the RÉNERGIE H.C.F. Triple Anti-Aging Serum, and after one week of usage, I can share my initial thoughts. This serum boasts an intriguing blend of Hyaluronic Acid, Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Ferulic Acid – all renowned for their skincare benefits.
Upon my first attempt, it took a few pumps to dispense all three components of the serum. Admittedly, this initially confused me, but I quickly adapted to the process.
In terms of visible results, it's important to note that one week is a short timeframe for assessing anti-aging effects. Nonetheless, I remain optimistic that continued use will yield improvements in my skin's condition over time.
One standout aspect of this product is its delightful scent, which enhances the overall skincare experience. The texture of the serum feels incredibly smooth on my skin, leaving it with a velvety finish.
In conclusion, I plan to continue using the RÉNERGIE H.C.F. Triple Anti-Aging Serum until I finish the bottle, with hopes of witnessing the promised anti-aging benefits. While it may take some time to see significant changes, the initial experience has been promising, and the sensory aspects of the product have certainly won me over.

I received enough of the product to remove my make up one evening. With such a small amount I don't feel I can give a thorough review. It did remove my make-up, it did not leave my skin oily, and after toner my skin felt fresh. I like to use a product for a week before I feel I can give a thorough and honest review. -

This is an excellent product and I would highly recommend it. However, it is similar to other sunscreens for the face that I have tried in that it stings my eyes. I apply very little around my eyes but I still get the burn 🙁 The only face sunscreens that don't sting my eyes are mineral sunscreens and they come with an entire different downfall in that they white me out. Definitely give it a try. -

It has been way to long
I am in my early 50's and a couple of years ago I started getting stomach upset EVERYTIME I drank cow's milk. That was very upsetting because I LOVE milk. Since then I have tried lots of the alternatives starting with lactose free milk, because being in my 50's I NEED the calcium, but it still upset my stomach. So, I started using plant based milk alternatives like almond, soy, and oat. They don’t upset my stomach and they taste well enough but it is not the same as a "BIG OL' GLASS OF MILK" or when I want a bowl of cereal late at night when I can't sleep (it's a menopause thing). I was so excited, and hopeful, when ChickAdvisor offered the a2 milk campaign and I was quick to apply but I decided even if I wasn't chosen I was definitely going to give it a try. Then I got the email that said I had been chosen!!!! YAY!! Yesterday I used my coupon and purchased my 1st, and definitely not my last carton of a2 milk. I also bought 4 boxes of cereal, that we had never tried before, and a bag of espresso beans and we had a party a "Big Ol' Cereal Party". I sat out the cereal boxes, the a2 milk, and some small bowls so we could sample ALL of the cereals and then a big bowl for the one we liked most. I also used the a2 milk to make some fun and yummy iced cappuccinos. At this point I wasn't sure how my stomach was going to react but I was optimistic and rightfully so. My stomach was NOT bothered by the a2 milk at all last night and I am pleased to say that I have not had any issues this morning!!!! This milk will definitely be showing its lovely red carton around in my refrigerator on a very regular basis. Thank you ChickAdvisor for giving me the opportunity to try this product ❤

For as long as I can remember I have suffered with nasal congestion and allergies. My husband kept suggesting the Navage system as a way of clearing out my congestion; I kept refusing because I thought I could get the same result with a regular netti pot, which I use regularly. Was I ever WRONG. Who likes to admit they are wrong to a spouse? Certainly not me, but in this case I do so willingly. ***WARNING****graphic description to follow*****
I don't usually share such graphic descriptions but I must in this case. The first time I used Navage I was SHOCKED at what came out of my nose. I had lots of white mucus come out into the reservoir that stores the irrigated liquid and debris. However, the shock came when I blew my nose. A very SIGNIFICANT amount of GREEN SNOT came out onto the tissue. The stuff that came out of my nose should not be present in any healthy persons nose. After that I have, obviously, been able to breath much better. I continue with a weekly routine and my sinus congestion has much improved.

I suffer from itchy dry skin that will often keep me up at night. After recieving my sample of Aveeno Restorative Skin Therapy cream I had my husband put it on my back, this put it to the true test because my back gets extremely dry and itchy. It passed the test and stopped the itchy throughout the night. Not only did it help my dry itchy back it has helped my dry cracked hands. During this time of extreme washing and hand sanitizing my hands have become very dry and uncomfortable. My usual hand cream was not helping; it felt heavy, greasy, and washed off easily. I decided to try Aveeno for my hands as well, although this sample was not a hand cream. Again it did not disappoint.
Please forgive the over use of the word dry, however, there is no other word to describe what the product helps to resolve.
My conclusion is that I will be purchasing this product and would highly recommend it to anyone who is suffering from dry itchy skin.
