I received and tried the AVEENO® Calm + Restore Oat Repairing Lotion for free. Here's how it went
The lotion is not greasy at all and absorbs rather quickly. It has a good thin consistency, making it easy to spread and set in. I find it doesn't transfer to clothes like other creams do, so it is perfect right after a shower. You'll find it is ideal for sensitive skin, as it features oat extract. It is fragrance free, and there is only a very faint smell from the ingredients, but it did not bother me at all, I could only smell it up close. Being free from perfumes, I'm at ease in that regard. The only concerning ingredient in it is petrolatum, so watch out for that if you're trying to avoid it.
After its application, and letting the lotion absorb well, I was able to feel the product to the touch sitting on my skin, but it eventually went away over the course of some hours.
I think this is a great option to tackle sensitive skin issues without worrying about causing any unpleasant reactions. The oat extract is fantastic for that, and is the main reason I would recommend this lotion. It is an otherwise gentle and soothing cream!

I received and tried the AVEENO® Calm + Restore Oat Repairing Lotion for free. Here's how it went. The body wash felt very natural and mild, and yet it did its job properly. It is fragrance free and contains no soap in it, so it does not lather like regular body washes. This doesn't mean it cleans less, so don't apply lots of product in an attempt to make up for the suds. It cleans just the same as regular body washes, but has the advantage of being very gentle on skin and features cleaner ingredients, so I feel great about using it. There's only a slight scent from the ingredients, but it isn't too noticeable to bother me.
My skin didn't feel as dry as it usually does after a shower, which paired with the Calm + Restore body lotion made my skin smooth and kept it moisturized.
I would recommend it to anybody who wants a gentle, yet effective body wash that won't disrupt the skin barrier the way many body washes do.

I finally got to try the Neutrogena Gel Cream for extra dry skin (hello 🙋♀️) and my very dry postpartum skin is much happier for it. Thias product was received for free in exchange for an honest review.
The Gel Cream Extra-Dry proved to be a heavy-duty skin barrier control, as it kept my skin noticeably smoother throughout the day. My skin felt more flexible and any signs of scaling were kept to a minimum for longer, meaning my skin was protected from drying out for much longer compared to other creams. The cream is a thick consistency, but is far from feeling heavy and doesn't take long before it has been absorbed.
This was a great addition to my skin-care routine after a proper cleaning (also great after showers, where pores are more dilated and take everything in!).
I love that Hydro Boost is scent-free, more products should be moving in this direction. This is what clean skincare feels like, and I would highly recommend it to anybody who needs a practical and long-lasting hydro boost in their skin care routine.

The serum is so lightweight that you barely feel it after the application. It is truly refreshing on the skin and once it quickly sets in you won't notice the product at all (so it won't get on your hair as it often happens to me...). I can confirm it is as lightweight as it can be.
And most importantly: it kept my skin hydrated all day long! I usually have to reapply moisturizers to keep my face smooth and the dreaded skin scaling at bay, but not with this serum. I initially thought with it being such a fine layer of product that it would not last too long, and I'd have to repeat layers throughout the day, but that wasn't the case.
It is especially useful when needing to go out and not feeling like having a thick, shiny layer of moisturizer on my face while I'm waiting for it to absorb.
This serum is fantastic.
A little bit goes a long way, the serum spreads quite a bit, so there is plenty of product in the bottle to last a good time.

I tried the Clean Reserve H2Eau collection in Brilliant Peony. With notes of sandalwood from Australia, this is a delicate and long-lasting fragrance that feels like a fresh breeze on your skin. H2Eau is a collection of eco-conscious & sustainable fragrances inspired by water, nature's most gentle ingredient!
Since the collection is clean, water-based and free of alcohol-based perfumes, it is incredibly gentle and hydrating on the skin while keeping it a high quality product. I haven't tried water-based fragrances before, so I was truly excited to give H2Eau a go. I'm always looking out for natural, ethical brands that promote health and well-being while enhancing one's beauty, so this ticked all the marks.
I rolled a small amount of perfume on my collarbone and was quite suprised to notice how intense (but not overbearingly so) it was, it definitely doesn't feel like a 'watered down' perfume. The scent is very delicate, and the subtle notes of sandalwood pairs perfectly with the peony without being overwhelming. It would easily adapt to any age, as it doesn't feel too jovial or mature. This fragrance is wonderfully balanced. It lasted for hours without losing strength quickly over time.
A major point for Clean Reserve's H2Eau collection is that, unlike many water-based fragrances, it is ethyl-alcohol free, and the proprietary formulation is long-lasting (I tested that out myself and can confirm!), hydrating, and gentle enough for sensitive skin. I always make a point of this since I personally look out for those types of products, as I can have adverse reactions to some cosmetics/fragrances. I also believe, regardless of your skin type, that gentle ingredients speak a lot about the quality of the product (and brand) itself, and should be considered a plus for anybody.
Overall, I would highly recommend this scent to anybody who is looking for a high quality, long-lasting, delicate, and refreshing scent from an ethical brand. It is a perfect companion to keep around.

I received the Flawless Facial Cleanser & Massager, and I was pleasantly surprised. It comes with 4 modes, 2 for each function:
✨ A gentle, low vibration to cleanse the skin that can be intensified with a pulsing vibration for deeper cleansing
✨A gentle massage mode that can be switched to the Massage + Cleansing option, which combines the relaxing, wave-like motion of the silicone head with the pulsating vibration of mode Nº2 for a deep massage that leaves your skin looking absolutely flawless
You simply put any cleanser or moisturizer (depending on the mode being used) of your choice on the silicone head, press the button and switch between modes as necessary, and apply gentle pressure on your skin with circular motions. It's divine.
What I love about this cleanser is that its body is made of silicone, not only making the unit completely waterproof - just make sure the charger is stored in a dry place! - but also hypoallergenic (I can't be the only gal out there with annoyingly sensitive dry skin🙋). If you fancy a facial massage while taking a bath, this will add some luxury to your regular routine.
Because of its material, cleaning the device itself is a piece of cake, running it under hot water with soap is enough.
It is incredibly gentle on the skin, which is something I'm always concerned about when using any product on my face, especially a device. Even the deeper cleanse and massage modes (No 2 & 4) feel subtle enough to pamper my skin while getting the job done, and that's what I'm after.
It didn't cause any redness at all ❗, so it passed the skin sensitivity test with flying colours.
The USB charging cord makes it really easy to charge the device just about anywhere, reducing the bulk of the device, which I find to be incredibly convenient for travelling and keeping in a makeup bag. It gets bonus points for its compact body and design, it would definitely fit any pouch you may carry with you.
P.S: Pastel pink with rose gold details? As an aesthetically minded girl, I'm obsessed!! It looks gorgeous, the cherry on top!
10/10 would highly recommend 💖

I tried the Aveeno Tone + Texture body scrub, and I was genuinely pleased with it!
I have fairly sensitive skin, so I tend to be selective when it comes to exfoliating creams, since I've had my fair share of rough scrubs that seem to strip away more than just dead cells!
This body scrub's texture is silky smooth and strikes a perfect balance between a cream that is runny enough to be easy to apply and rub into the skin, and thickness that won't just force you to use half the tub in one who. It's slightly more aqueous than a body cream, which helps disperse the scrub and make it last.
The most important part, however, is its gentleness. It is effective, leaves your skin feeling smooth and polished, and yet it's not harsh on the skin. The particles that exfoliate dead cells are the perfect size to warrant soft exfoliation. This, to me, is a great selling point, especially for those of us with sensitive skin (and this body scrub is formulated just for that!). It's vital to me that products like these don't do more harm than good to my skin, and I feel like Aveeno passed the test.
As the cherry on top, it is fragrance, sulphate and paraben free, and its formula is reasonably conservative for popular skincare brands like Aveeno.
It contains oats and niacinamide, and is bound to improve skin tone with regular use.
Overall, I would highly recommend it to anybody (sensitive skin or not) who wants a body scrub that cares for their skin while being 100% effective.
