This night moisturizer contains Niacinamide, a form of Vitamin B3, which helps the skin retain moisture; also smoothing our uneven skin texture and reducing the look of wrinkles. While the texture of my skin has never been an issue and I am fortunate to not be at the age that I have anything more than a few fine lines yet, so I am unable to speak to whether I saw a difference in that regard.
I loved that this moisturizer is fragrance free because my skin + most fragranced skincare do not agree. The texture is rich and slightly whipped, but because it absorbs relatively quickly, it doesn't leave any stickiness to the skin!

When I first started my beauty/skincare journey, First Aid Beauty was one of the first brands I tried! I have eczema and everytime the weather changes, I get flare-ups and dry patches on my face, and the ultra repair cream provided the hydration I needed without being too heavy and leaving my skin feeling greasy! It a lifesave for dry skin and also soothing for eczema irritations! -

The Face Cleanser is gentle and while effective at removing dirt/makeup, doesn't feel like it's stripping the natural oils from your face, which is a yay, since my skin is already dry enough on its own! It is great if you have ultra dehydrated skin, dry skin because you live in a dry climate, or have eczema prone skin! -

The Coconut Smoothie Priming Moisturizer is a win for me. When it comes to primers because I not only have dry skin in a dry climate, but I also have eczema to tackle with, so lot of primers are way too drying for me and makes my makeup cling to the dry patches. This primer protects my skin and keeps it hydrated throughout the day! I also love that it also brightens and gives your skin that amazing luminous glow! I generally moisturize before using this, because dry skin and eczema patch girl over here, and it wears well 😊 -

It is a primer that can be used on your eyes, face, and lips! It feels soft, pillowy, and blends like a dream on your skin!
It makes prepping the skin before makeup easy. However, if you have dry patches due to eczema, etc, I would definitely recommend moisturizing the heck out of your skin before using this because eczema patches are a whole other rodeo in comparison to just general dryness. My eczema tends to flare up a lot more in the winter and during the seasonal transition periods, so likely this primer would work best for me in the summer or spring months!
Also worth nothing, this primer is ever so slightly fragranced, but no more than a lingering scent, and it is free of synthetic fragrances!

I've been using the Triple Lipid-Peptide Cream all week. Winter is always hard on my skin because I have dry skin eczema and live in an ultra dry climate.
This cream has semi-whipped consistency, and while thick, it spreads and absorbs into the skin quite nicely. It does leave a nice layer on the skin to keep it hydrated without leaving it feeling sticky or tacky. That being said, I feel like if you have oily or acne prone skin, this might be a bit much!
The triple lipid complex is meant to restore the skins natural lipids and fatty acids. And the peptide blends helps to protect and support the skin's natural barrier. This product is vegan, cruelty free, and also gluten free, if that is a concern for you. And also does not contain any synthetic fragrance which is important to me in skincare!

This formula is hypoallergenic and felt rather gentle. My daughter's skin felt soft and hydrated after using this wash. I love that this formula is tear free because when you have a infant that is quickly developing into an assertive and independent toddler, bath time inevitably results in some splashing and water in the eyes.
I can't really comment on whether this wash actually enabled my daughter to sleep better because honesty, my daughter has been a great sleeper ever since she hit 12 weeks, and generally, sleeps well unless she's teething but those nights usually pass relatively quickly.
The only thing I'm not so keen on is that is a bit more fragranced than I would like. I would honestly love if this product were fragrance free because fragrance is a very vague ingredient that can inclide a host of chemicals, and I don't think fragrance in baby products are really necessary.

I will preface my review with the note that my daughter has sensitive, eczema prone skin, so we generally stick to very gentle and fragrance free products! We only bath about every other day to keep her skin from drying out because we also live in a dry climate!
I loved that both these products are ultra mild and gentle. I also appreciated that they don't contain parabens, phthalates, sulfates or dyes because no one needs to explore their kids to more chemicals and harmful ingredients than necessary. I only use a very small dollop of wash every bath time, so this body wash will last use for a very long time, but that's perfect!
The one drawback to both these products is they both contain fragrance. We stick to fragrance free skincare products in our house because they trigger things like eczema, as well fragrance is a vague term that can include a number of unknown ingredients and/or chemicals.

LANEIGE Lip Sleeping Mask

I don't know about you, but I get dry during the night. Maybe it's just the dryness in Alberta or maybe my skin is just dry, but I apply all the lip balm, moisturizer, and even have a glass of water before sleeping and I still wake up feeling dehydrated! The Lip Mask in Grapefruit is perfect for keeping ultra dry, chapped lips, either or, hydrated. It isn't thick or tacky, just thin layer that you barely even feel on your lips that helps you lock in the moisture. -

I have dry, borderline dehydrated skin and live in an ultra dry climate, so hydrating moisturizers are a necessity in the winter, or really year round. I wasn't sure what to expect with the Water Bank Moisture Cream but I actually enjoyed this moisturizer. I use this in the evenings before bed and generally, when I wake up in the morning, my skin is still hydrated. This cream is not thick and feels super lightweight, which is perfect because no one likes going to bed with a heavy greasy mess on their face or wake up with greasy pillowcases. -
