Hefty, round, icy blue, soft-sided bottle. No safety screw off cap but product can be used by children so I suppose it's not necessary. Peel and lift leak proof seal over the opening under the lid. Instructions say to gargle 1 cap full but there are no measurement lines so I just use as much as I feel comfortable. It still burns, just a lot less than other mouthwashes. The flavour is standard - nothing special and not interested in any sweet/fruity flavours for mouthwash. For the price and size of the bottle, I expected more benefits or something special from using the product. I guess it is for people who want a more natural oral rinse that is still effective but for the price, I think I will continue using normal mouth wash. -

The caplets are rough in texture and sour in taste, presumably like cranberries. I got a bidet at home during COVID (when there was the toilet paper hoarding) that I use for every toilet use since installation so I've found that having that in my daily life has infinitely decreased any chances of UTIs. Before the bidet, I would say I'd get UTIs maybe twice a year and my usual process would be to drink boatloads of water and/or cranberry juice and wash frequently OR if I am unbearably uncomfortable, I would go to the clinic to get an antibiotic prescribed. I think if someone has a serious recurring problem with UTIs, taking these caplets daily could be a reassuring backup to whatever preventative measures they implement. -

I occasionally get a sensitive tooth and it's irritating with cold things or just when it touches something so this toothpaste is ideal. I love the instant relief by rubbing the toothpaste directly on the sensitive area. I like this toothpaste - I usually stick with separate products; one for whitening and then when I get some sensitivity, I'll switch to the sensitivity toothpaste until it goes away but this one seems to be good for everyday use. -

I have an electric toothbrush but I'll take manual toothbrushes with me for travel or overnight stays. I generally prefer hard bristles because I like to brush hard so having soft bristles is not suitable for me because I end up destroying the bristles pretty quickly. I have always enjoyed using the cheek and tongue scraper that is on the backside of the toothbrush and I like the circle design of the toothbrush bristles. Once you brush with an electric toothbrush, it's hard to go back to a manual because it just doesn't feel as squeaky clean but if I had to stop using electric, I think this would be my toothbrush style with harder bristles. -

Not a strong lavender scent which I prefer; there is still a lovely, soothing scent but not aggressively lavender. I think I will use this fabric softener for laundering bedsheets and blankets to try for a more restful sleep.
The product is a pearly purple, viscous liquid and the lid is shaped like a flower which is pretty but could be difficult to unscrew the top. I feel like the design of the bottle makes it seem cheap.
I can feel a difference in the clothes washed with this liquid fabric softener versus using dryer sheets.

The rescue relief gel comes in a cylindrical pump-to-dispense container with lid, with a USB-C looking opening for dispensing. The gel comes out quickly and a bit runny but applies silky smooth to the skin and soaks into the skin nicely with no residue and a clean finish. There's a slight oat scent which shouldn't be offensive to most people. My itching and redness was quickly subdued but not completely. I think it an effective product for eczema care and I like that it's lightweight. -

This cream comes in a flip top, squeeze tube and the product is dispensed thick and slightly chunky in appearance. The cream applies off-white, has a slight oat scent and is easily rubbed into the skin. It leaves a slightly sticky residue and creates a noticeable barrier on the skin. It's a heavier moisturizer and probably good for the drier months but feels too heavy for the summer. It doesn't do much for immediate itch relief. I'm a little put-off by the chunky appearance of the cream but it does not apply chunky. -

The PM moisturizer is a plain white, almost scentless moisturizer that stings a little if applied to sensitive or recently exfoliated skin. It doesn't seem like anything special and haven't noticed if it bleaches towels. It seems more moisturizing than the AM moisturizer and less unpleasant to apply so I don't mind using it. I have not noticed any improvements in my skin since using the complete line but I'll continue to use this PM moisturizer when I feel a breakout coming.

The face wash is identical to classic kid's white glue in appearance, consistency and smell. It smells like a chemical but not offensive. It doesn't feel drying and seems gentle on the skin. Doesn't lather at all and I prefer the soapy suds from cleansers. I haven't noticed any improvements in my skin since using this face wash but it also hasn't been getting rid of the acne on my chest so it has not been effective for me.

The AM SPF moisturizer feels grainy like an exfoliant with beads and it could be irritating to sensitive skin. It doesn't feel very moisturizing which sometimes is necessary when you're using an acne regimen that tends to dry out your skin. It feels and smells like a grainy sunscreen and it applies as such; I don't enjoy applying it to my face. It makes my skin feel dry and itchy and I want to wash my fingers immediately after using the product.
