I was pleasantly surprised with how effective these bug fight relief patches are! While they were a little bit difficult to remove from the packaging, once we got the hang of how to get it without them stretching and folding together, they applied easily and securely. They go on pretty much invisibly and within minutes brought relief to very itchy black fly bites! We have a really heavy black fly season happening here in southern Ontario right now, stretching longer then it usually does, and these patches have been a savior. I'll definitely be ordering boxes of these and make them a regular in our household. Super impressed! -

One thing I always have a hard time with when it comes to body lotion and moisturizers is the greasy after feel, especially with the ones that are designed for extra dry skin. This Aveeno Calm + Restore gel moisturizer is a game changer for me! I have very dry and somewhat sensitive skin, and one pump of this gel moisturizer glides effortlessly across my skin and almost instantly gets absorbed, leaving absolutely no greasy residue! It is fragrance-free, so I'm not left with irritation from perfumes, nor do I have a lingering medical smell like I get from the other ones I use to help control my extra dry skin. The moisturizer is extremely lightweight and feel, but definitely a heavyweight when it comes to moisturizing. I applied it once daily and didn't feel the need to go apply again throughout the day with the exception of my hands because I always have them in dishwater. I'm so happy I got the opportunity to give this a try. It's definitely going to become a staple in my vanity cupboard going forward! -

I hadn't heard of this PM balancing renewal moisturizer until I received this kit, and I've got to say I was completely floored when I read the ingredients, which include hyaluronic acid, ceramides and niacinamide! All three of those ingredients are in the ultra premium makeup line and skin care regimen that I previously used, and that also broke my bank! Those are some top quality, next level moisturizing and skin repairing ingredients. I couldn't believe that an affordable PM moisturizer contained such quality products, and the effectiveness is no less than what I was used to expecting from my other products.
Hyaluronic acid is something that I have regularly Incorporated into my skincare routine because of its ability to draw moisture and retain it, as well as being able to penetrate deeper than just the surface layers of the skin. The first defense to acne and skin care is proper. Moisture balance and hyaluronic acid is one of the best ingredients you can use to get that. But when you combine it with niacinamide and ceramides, you have an army of amazingness that is bound to bring you great skin. Skin. I've only been using this for less than a week and I'm blown away with the suppleness, brightness and evenness of my skin. I only suffer from mild acne, but my husband who suffers from severe cystic acne is also beyond impressed with this. He's been using it alongside me and has said he's never thought about incorporating a regular skin care routine until I introduced this product line to him. He swears by it now daily and admittedly is better at taking care of his skin twice a day like we should.
I couldn't recommend a product line and specifically this product More. Its effectiveness and quality ingredients, paired with the ridiculously affordable price tag is something that nobody should ignore, especially if you're looking for the right regimen to help manage your acne.

To be completely honest, I was a little taken aback at first with the feel of the moisturizer when I first applied it. I took a look at the ingredients after putting it on first and realized afterwards that it needs to be shaken really well, and they aren't joking. When I first applied it without shaking, I found that it had an oily consistency that I immediately thought was against the oil management claim it made, but after shaking it thoroughly and then reapplying it. I was really impressed with both the consistency and the way that it dried and has left my skin seemingly oil free all day.
To make it even better, this moisturizer is a full spectrum sunscreen! With SPF 30 protection, I don't need worry about the damage. The sun will do to my skin, and don't need to add an additional product to my morning routine because this one already has a built right in.
The smell is very light and enjoyable, and after the moisturizer soaks into your skin, it has a sort of mattifying effect that I really like.
I've said this about panoxyl products in the past, and I'll keep saying it again to anybody who struggles with mild, moderate or severe acne, you need this line of products in your life. They have been a game changer in my mild acne management as well as with my husband's severe cystic acne management.
I definitely recommend this till the cows come home.

I've actually been using this exfoliant for about 2 months now, I purchased it when I wasn't able to find the panoxyl patches in my pharmacy, And it's been a staple in our skin care routine since.
I don't use it on a daily basis because I have very mild breakouts, but my husband suffers from severe cystic acne, still to this day at 40 years old, and this is his daily defense against getting significant breakouts.
The salicylic acid does a really effective job at keeping the surface of the skin free of excessive buildup and bacteria. I like that I'm able to choose the amount I wish to use on the cotton pad versus the pre-soaked ones other companies sell.
What I like the most is that it doesn't leave my face completely dried out and tight after using it. I'm not sure how they've managed to do that, because I've used other salicylic acid exfoliants in the past and I always feel very dry and need to moisturize throughout the day, but this is a very effective and very comfortable product to use.
I honestly couldn't be more impressed with the quality and effectiveness of all of the products within the panoxyl acne defense line. They are all extremely effective and very affordable in comparison to the other ones on the market. I'd highly recommend this to anybody looking to get a good handle on their skin care when it comes to acne.

PanOxyl Acne Wash – 4% Benzoyl Peroxide Cream

This is the second time I've had the opportunity to try Panoxyl products, And I've yet to be disappointed with anything this company produces. I have mild acne but my husband has some serious cystic acne that he deals with, still at 40 years of age, so we've gone through our fair share of acne treatment products.
This cleanser is the first one I've ever used that does not leave my face completely dried out and tight after using. The benzoyl peroxide helps to keep our skin clean and free of oil and bacteria, and the other ingredients within this cleanser do an incredible job at keeping it moisturized. I love the creamy, But not too thick texture of it. And as weird as this may sound, the medical smell is something that helps me believe that it is an effective product on top of the results we've seen. With my other daily cleanser, when I have a small breakout it takes about a week to clear up with what I use, but with using this panoxyl for the last week, I found that my breakouts cleared up within days.
I'd highly recommend this cleanser to anybody dealing with mild moderate or severe acne. It's worked for us in all of those instances and I will continue to purchase this product because of that.

I was pleasantly surprised when I gave this cleanser a try! I have been regularly buying premium brand facial cleansers for the last 8 years or so, that run me upwards of $80 a bottle. Once I found a product that worked, regardless of its price, I stuck with it. After being provided this Neutrogena facial cleanser to test out, I think I might actually be able to change daily facial cleansers as this one did not cause any negative reactions after using it and left me with a really fresh clean feel. The cleanser itself foams up nicely once you start rubbing into your face but has a very smooth soft feel to it. I was impressed with how clean my pores and skin felt afterwards, without being dried out or overly stimulated by chemicals. After my skin dried, my face looked fresh and soft. I'm truly impressed with the quality of this facial cleanser! -

I was really excited to try the Neutrogena Daily Facial Moisturizer. As somebody who has really sensitive skin, I always trust the ingredients when it comes to Neutrogena skin care, but finding the one that fits my needs always seems to be difficult. This moisturizer is closest to what I would select personally, but there are a few things that deter me from wanting to use it on a daily basis. I am personally really sensitive to extra creamy and slightly oily cream moisturizers. After using them I tend to break out, which wasn't the case with this moisturizer, but it did still leave an oily residue feel that I noticed. I will point out that it was very mild, but because of my issues in the past I've become ultra sensitive to that feel and for me it was a little deterring. I had my 12-year-old daughter give the moisturizer a try and she absolutely loved it! Her prepubescent skin did not react at all to the ingredients and she said that it left her with a really dewy feeling that she personally loved. When I used it, I found that it was a lot lighter than I was used to when it comes to cream moisturizers, but I did feel a little bit of weight to it. I really like that it is barely scented at all. It just has a clean, almost medical scent to it that's barely noticeable. I have no problem keeping this in my cupboard as a backup moisturizer, but I'm not sure with my sensitive and reactive skin that I would use it on a daily basis. My daughter on the other hand is in love with it and has asked if she can use it everyday since receiving it. -

I'm always hoping to be able to find products that are free from artificial dyes. My stepkid's mother has a sensitivity particularly to red dye, so to be on the safe side we try to avoid it as much as possible if not entirely. Children's medicine tends to be brightly colored to make it a bit more appealing, so we've had to really do our research to find one that we're comfortable giving the kids. When we found out that Tylenol provided a children's medication that was dye free, we were happy to be able to have such a trusted brand in our cabinet. We don't need to use it often, but when we do it is our go-to medication when it comes to any type of fever or pain. Pain. Our 7-year-old is currently going through growing pains so we had the opportunity to give this a try last weekend and the flavor is kid approved! She even pointed out that it wasn't colored at all!
Overall we are really pleased with his product. Tylenol is a trusted household brand and now that I'm able to have children's liquid Tylenol in a dye free format, it will continue to be our only household brand when it comes to acetaminophen medication.

We were pleasantly surprised with how effective these patches were, and how quickly they worked! We placed one of the small patches onto a problematic acne spot on the face, and repeated this process for two nights. After the second application the spot was visibly reduced in size and redness and had opened up enough to allow the pimple to break and release its contents. Since then the spot has been continuing to get smaller and heal. The effectiveness of this patch was happily noticed by my skeptical test subject, who is on the fence about commercial products actually working. He was blown away by the results and has already asked me to go out and purchase a pack of the patches. We will definitely continue to use these and are so happy we gave them a try! -
