This sunscreen has a light, fluid texture which makes application easy for the face. The scent is minimal, which I appreciate but it smells like regular sunscreen. The protection factor is high (50) and I feel confident that this will protect my skin. It does not feel heavy on the skin, however I did find it to be slightly oily. Makeup does apply well on top though. I usually wear a mineral powder foundation, and this sunscreen worked well under the powder.
Unfortunately, this product made my skin breakout when wearing it everyday. My skin is very acne-prone and tends to breakout with most face sunscreens with the exception of Asian brands which are very light. While I would not wear the Vichy product as an everyday sunscreen, I would choose it for those days I am outside for extended periods of time and need the protection. It is an effective sun protection product as I did not burn when out at the beach all day.
Another drawback was that this product really stung my eyes! By the end of the day, there is not much product left on the face so it's not a big problem. However, when I washed my face about an hour after application, the sunscreen melted off and stung badly.
Overall, I would recommend this product for anyone who wants effective sun protection for the face. It is pleasant to use due to its light texture. Unfortunately, if you are acne-prone like me, this may not be the best everyday sunscreen for you.

This is a fantastic sunscreen that protects the skin very well! I used this as an everyday sunscreen as well as when out for extended periods (beach, biking). I have not had any sunburns and only minimal tanning so I feel that it has been working. This is such a nice lotion as it is thinner than most sunscreens, making application easy. It absorbs relatively well and doesn't feel too heavy on the skin. It leaves the skin slightly greasy but much less than the sunscreens I typically use. The scent is not overpowering, but does smell like regular sunscreen. This product is not waterproof, but I think it is great for everyday wear because of its light feeling on the skin.

Vichy Idéal Soleil Double Usage After-Sun Care

This is such a lovely product! I enjoy using bath oils and this is what this product reminds me of. You can use this product on dry skin or on wet skin as you're getting ready to get out of the shower. I like to use it in the shower as I find it easier to apply that way. I first used this at the end of a day at the beach and this was welcomed relief to my dry skin (especially good for legs!) It absorbs nicely and doesn't make the skin look/feel oily. While this product is meant as after-sun care, I think it is a great everyday product to keep your skin moisturized. My skin feels pampered and so soft when I use it :)
I appreciate that the first ingredient is rapeseed oil compared to most body oils that use mineral oil. The fragrance is pleasant and light, it does not linger.

I have been using Sukin products for a few years now and have been really pleased with all of them. I picked this up on a whim because it was on sale for $10 which is a bargain! This product comes in a nice glass bottle with a pump which keeps things sanitary. The name of the product is a bit misleading, its consistency is more like that of a cream than that of a serum. However I think it is the perfect consistency. It is a light cream that applies smoothly and absorbs well. It doesn't leave the eye area looking greasy and makeup applies well over it. I can't say whether it helps with lines and wrinkles, but for young skin like mine that just needs a bit of moisture, it's perfect! This product, like the rest of the Sukin line, contains great ingredients like aloe and rosehip oil. It is very gentle and free from harsh ingredients which may irritate sensitive skin. I'll definitely repurchase this! -

I've tried so many natural deodorants and none of them seem to work for me. I was about to revert back to my old antiperspirant when I found this. I love the smell and it does not "turn funky" after a few hours like the other natural deodorants I have tried. I do find that I have to apply several times throughout the day but I don't mind as I usually did anyway with antiperspirant. I usually apply in the morning and again midday. I may reapply again in the evening if I'm going out. It will not prevent you from sweating like an antiperspirant will, but I still smell clean and fresh. Best part is that it won't run your shirts or leave any white marks! I've repurchased this, along with some of the other deodorants fragrances from this line, and have been very happen with all of them! -

This is a classic that everyone seems to love. It is certainly exfoliating, maybe a bit too much so. It has a lot of "scrubby" bits, it feels like sandpaper and I find it too harsh on my skin. My face is sensitive and became really red after using this. I also thought it left my skin feeling dry. I've ditched it for my face, but I find it works very well as a body scrub and I keep repurchasing for that purpose. -

My favourite mascara! It has a nice smooth consistency and does not flake off throughout the day. I very rarely get clumps when applying this mascara, it applies very well. The brush is the perfect length and shape for easy application. Price is very reasonable, especially when on sale, and it's easy to find in stores. -

I have switched from my full-coverage foundation to this BB cream and am so glad I did! This product has a nice consistency, not too thick so it goes on smoothly. It provides light coverage, just enough to even out my skin tone, but it doesn't cover up everything. The product is a close match to my skin tone so it blends in well. The price is very reasonable and the pump tube is sanitary and convenient. I also like that it has SPF 20 in it as added protection, but I always wear sunscreen too. My skin is acne-prone and I have not had any problems with breakouts since I began using this product. I'll definitely be repurchasing this product once mine runs out. -

This has been my go to moisturizer for the last few years. It's hydrating without leaving the skin feeling oily as it is very light. It sinks in quickly and makeup applies well over top. My skin is acne-prone but this does not cause any additional break outs like many other moisturizers do. It doesn't have much of a smell, which is great because I dislike strong fragrances in my skin care products. It is very good value, and you can often find it on sale. The packaging is sanitary and I don't have to worry about it leaking if I throw it in to my bag. Overall, I have really enjoyed using this product. Unfortunately, my skin has been very dry lately (due to acne treatment) so this moisturizer is just not moisturizing enough. Hopefully I can start using this again once my skin settles down a bit.
If you have normal or combination skin, this moisturizer is great and I would highly recommend it. However, if you have dry/flaky skin, this may not be moisturizing enough for you.
