I don't have major dandruff problems, yet- but this product definitely controls the flakes I do get. I love this because it smells great, leaves my hair super silky and manageable AND gets rid of my dandruff. Its an excellent alternative to those who don't need super-tough dandruff control but still want results.
The only problem with this product is that it can be hard to find. It is hit and miss at super stores (Target, Wal-mart, CVS, etc.) Your best bet is to find it online.

The instructions for this item are pretty simple and I thought I followed them perfectly... but all it did was rub my skin raw. If it removed any of my hair, I couldn't tell.
I have thick, coarse hair- so perhaps this was the issue. Either way, it didn't work for me.
My lesson learned- if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is too good to be true. This product was. I wish I hadn't bothered with this one.

Clinique Acne Solutions Clearing Concealer

I have this in corrective green. While I will buy more when I run out, I will not go with corrective green again. It covered my red spots really well, but it was tricky to get it blended well so that the green wasn't noticeable.
I can't tell if this stuff actually cleared up my break-outs, but they didn't get worse and eventually went away. Whether they went away because they naturally healed or because this stuff works, I don't know. But I'm banking on it being that this worked and will continue to use it because it covers what needs covering!

I have been using this product in the mornings between washing my face and applying moisturizer (as it indicates should be done). I am not quite 30 yet, but have been advised to start incorporating preventative products now, just to get a head start. I chose this product because it claimed to improve skin tone and shrink pores. And, as far as I can tell, it does. I have some acne scars and have large-ish pores on my nose and forehead. Since using this product, there has been a noticeable reduction in both. I have only been using it for 1 week, so I am hopeful that in the next weeks I will see my acne scars almost disappear!
Yes, it is expensive. But you only need a tiny bit. Another issue is that it smells quite strong. The only way I can describe it is that it smells like that one aunt we all have who wears too much make-up. The good news is that its not a bad smell (just strong) and it disappears in seconds.
I do not use the entire Avon Anew Replinishing skin-care line, just this one product. So, perhaps my results would have been even better had I used the other products. For now, I am pleased with the results I've seen.

I read some of the other reviews of this and I'm thinking that perhaps the others should have tried the dramatically different GEL not lotion. The lotion is for combination to dry skin- which I have and I love the stuff. You only need a bit, put it on right after using the liquid exfoliator (while the skin is still moist) and it takes a while to get it to rub in (because you're face is already moist from washing and exfoliating) but its worth it. I find that DDL leaves my face comfortable and even, ready for make-up. The lack of fragrance means that it won't aggravate my sensitive skin. -
Coochy Body Shave Cream

Once I got over the funny name and gave this product a chance, I was glad that I did. It works wonders. This is a shave cream that can be used everywhere (legs, underarms, bikini area)- my husband even uses it on his face. I used to have problems with razor burn and nicks, but not with this stuff. It seems a bit pricey, but a little goes a lonnnng way so it evens out.
It claims to also work as a conditioner. A claim which I didn't buy at first because I have quite unruly hair. But I gave it a try and was really impressed! It works as a light-weight but moisture-packed conditioner which left my hair soft, manageable and full of body (but no frizz or poof, yay!)
You don't have to attend a pure romance party to get this! So, if you're squeamish about that- you can just go to the pure romance website and either shop with or without a consultant. I suggest connecting with a consultant near you, they take great care of you and let you know about great deals.

Pros: This product cleared up my acne in about 3 days.
Cons: It is super-drying. I have combination skin: greasy in the T-zone but dry on my cheeks). I used another, more expensive moisturizer on top of this system because my face was so dry that it stung. Also, it bleached my pillow case (very strange, yes, but I've seen this happen before with benzoyl peroxide products).
So, I have to give the product a good review because it does what it claims: it clears up my acne. But I can't bring myself to give it a perfect review because of how uncomfortable it made my skin.

AVON Skin So Soft Fresh & Smooth Facial Hair Removal Cream

I used to be an avid fan of waxing facial hair- but when you're busy, waxing can get tiresome. I had never much liked hair removal creams because it never worked on my thick hair. However, Avon's "skin so soft" facial hair removal cream removes all the hair easily (it only takes a few minutes- I leave it on for 5, but I have coarse hair), wipes off easy and smells fresh- not chemically.
While skin doesn't remain hair-free as long as when you wax, I go about 3 weeks in between applications.

I'm usually all about drug-store finds. But even thought this is more expensive than I'll usually go, it is worth every penny. It works better than anything I've ever used and you need only a little bit to moisturize hands so that the bottle lasts a long time. After using it, my hands are moisturized but not greasy or sticky. It even keeps up with my dry, winter hands.
It has a nice, fresh scent that took a bit to get used to. I'm used to flower-y or unscented stuff, but this is a great alternative. Its an herbal-y smell.

This is an EXPENSIVE flat iron. But, if you have some birthday money, etc., I think its worth every penny. It just plain WORKS. I have thick, poofy hair and it handles it admirably. When I use this in the morning, it takes about 10 minutes in front of the mirror, working methodically and I walk away with straight, shiny hair with movement. It doesn't burn my hair at all- no burning hair smell here. Its so gentle on hair that even though I use it at least a couple days a week, my hairstylist still thinks I never use any hair appliances! -
