I love that this foundation is designed for what life throws at you being water, sweat & humidity proof. The packaging has a no waste dropper design but mine keeps spewing out of it on initial uses so the product is getting wasted this way.
It has a nice medium coverage and is great for those who like a matte foundation that feels really light on the skin. Unfortunately it doesn't work so well on my dry skin at the moment as within the hour it had cracked and seeped into my fine lines. I would need to use a good primer to counteract this.
It is pretty waterproof and does take a double cleanse to remove fully.

YSL Loveshine High Shine Caring Lipstick in shade 44 Nude Lavalliere is a beautiful nude rose pink with a shimmer that adds a nice shine to the lips. The packaging is gorgeous and so easy to apply to the lip. Beautiful on its own or over a brighter lipstick, it works both ways. The finish is quite hydrating so great for drier lips. My only issue is that it isn't long-lasting. -

PanOxyl Balancing Renewal Moisturizer is a nighttime moisturizer for acne-prone skin. Niacinamide, Ceramides and Hyaluronic Acid are key ingredients that helps to soothe and restore the skins moisture barrier whilst calming redness and minimizing the appearance of pores.
This is a lightweight gel cream moisturizer that absorbs very quickly and doesn't feel heavy on the skin. My skin feels instantly soothed when I apply it and I would personally use this as a day or night moisturizer with my dry skin in the warmer months.
This is the perfect end to the PanOxyl Acne Skincare Routine and it really shows a thought out balance on what is beneficial for skin health.

PanOxyl Oil Control Moisturizer is a lightweight daily moisturizer that helps to absorb excess oil without clogging pores. It also has the added bonus of being a Broad Spectrum SPF30 Mineral Sunscreen.
It's a Zinc based Sunscreen making it great for oily skin. And it's also free of parabens, fragrances and chemical sunscreen active ingredients.
I'm personally not a fan of mineral sunscreens as I can't get over the grainy texture they seem to have which irritate my dry skin and they also can often leave a whitecast. This one is pretty decent with a new sheer formula and I would agree that it does rub in very well without any visible whitecast. It does really mattify the skin which is also great for oily skin (not so much for dry skin). The smell is what you expect from a zinc sunscreen but not too noticeable. Having the hybrid moisturizer and sunscreen is great for those people who are in a hurry and need to minimize products in their routine. I really hate the grainy texture though which ruins what otherwise is actually a really nice addition to an acne skincare routine.

Salicylic Acid can be quite drying but surprisingly this one hasn't dried out my skin at all but I have been following the directions of slowly introducing it and it is formulated as a gentle leave on formula.
I use it like I would a toner by splashing some into my hands then applying it to my face. You could also apply with a cotton pad. It dries down very quickly and is easy to layer with other products. It has a slight chemically scent to it but nothing roo noticeable.
Overall I like how this product is a leave on toner type of acne product that is much more gentle then other options out there.

I get breakouts and I like to use an acne wash to help heal them quicker.
This PanOxyl Benzoyl Peroxide Cream 4% is a daily cleansing wash that is much gentler then other Acne washes I've used. I have dry skin that can get really tight when using the majority of cleansers so it was refreshing to have this cleanser not sucking the moisture from my skin.
It is a cream cleanser so it works better as a second cleanse if you are trying to remove make up.
I also have an issue with the vague directions on the box not really making it clear how to use it-dry face/wet face? It doesn't even tell you to wash it off?

This is a great daily moisturizer that works well for my dry skin. It has a nice light cream formula that absorbs very quickly into the skin without feeling heavy or tacky. Great for layering with other products. I love that is fragrance free and suitable for sensitive and reactive skin because my skin does react to some products. The only negative is it hasn't fully cleared up some dry patches around my eyebrows. -

The Aveeno Calm + Restore Age Renewal Eye Gel comes in a super cute little pot. You only need a tiny amount to get good coverage under the eye. On application it feels instantly cooling and hydrating on the undereye. After a month of using it my undereye hasn't seen much improvement and sometimes my eyes would water from using this product.
The eye gel is a good option for sensitive skin and it feels nice on application but I personally didn't see much result from using it.

This serum comes in a very handy to use pump bottle. I found 2 pumps to be enough for my whole face. It is very gentle on my skin and the formula instantly felt hydrating and soothing without feeling like you've put a lot of product on which makes its great for layering. It dries down very quickly without leaving any tackiness. After a month of using it I haven't noticed much improvement in my skin, if anything my skin has had some dry patches appear and my skin looks and feels uneven and red.
If you like a simple serum that is good for sensitive skin this may be the right one for you but I couldn't currently recommend for long-term results.
