I'm seeing a lot of body creams come in this packaging but this is a bit more lightweight that I think a pump dispenser would even do.
I do find it very moisturizing which I did expect from the brand. The brand itself is quite popular and has always had great quality.
I do find that I would use it more for the winter for that extra moisture even tho I didn't really get an oily vibe from it. I just feel like its value would go farther.
I think it has a very unique scent which is fine on the body. I'm really pleased to have received this free from product review club.

I was really excited to receive this from chickadvisor free to try after sending in my info about my thin af hair.
I did it in one section for the 1st month as the directions say, but since 2 came in the box I did a few other areas that are quite thin as well.
I obviously did more than 3 months but tbh it's hard to tell hence my title.
I love the easy to use dispenser and the fact that it's foam and won't run down my face is such a plus since I was already weirded out that my fingers would start sprouting hairs if I didn't wash my hands thoroughly lol.
One thing that's a pretty big improvement I'll say is that the amount of hair that would come out in the shower was significantly less.
However, in terms of regrowth, I do not see a huge difference at all.
I do trust the brand even tho I have never personally used it or know anybody that has, but it's well known and has lasted for a long time so I will continue to use and perhaps may change my review in the future to something extra positive!

As much as I wanted to love this because I do love the vichy brand and I do like the day cream of the same type (which was provided by chickadvisor free to try), I was not a fan as my dry spots were too eager to be diminished lol.
I used to have oily skin but after changing my routine last year, I only have certain dry spots and hormonal acne to battle. The serum absorbed well enough for me and I usually love serums but this didn't soften up my skin as much as it should've.
The scent was nice. Perfumed but not strong.
I wouldn't buy it however.

As my title says, I used it more at night time as I found it a tad heavier than I would like for a day cream. It absorbed well and doesn't leave a greasy feeling but the thickness of the texture doesn't sit well with me as I sweat a lot during the summers. Perhaps winter days could work but we'll see.
I do like the scent, it reminds me more of roses rather than berries but in a more perfumed way which I find vichy does a lot but it's not so strong that it bothers me.
I do like the brand tho and do recommend this. I received this free to try from chickadvisor.

Quaker® Overnight Oats Toasted Coconut & Almond Crunch
I have my own preference of oats to be more mushy rather than watery. I even let this steep for nearly 24 hours and not just overnight and I found that it didn't soak up enough. I love the convenience of the individual cup for travel and... +
I have my own preference of oats to be more mushy rather than watery. I even let this steep for nearly 24 hours and not just overnight and I found that it didn't soak up enough. I love the convenience of the individual cup for travel and proportions. There is even a line inside that helps you but like I said it was too much for my taste.
The taste however is really good and the almonds are still super crunchy. I just added regular milk.
I would recommend this for people who don't have time to make their own oats or breakfast really.

The taste is good and it would be even more amazing without the raisins but that's a personal preference again.. I just added regular milk.

AOR Breath Biotics
I find no fault in this apart from it's not easy to find but that shouldn't affect the review. I found the taste pleasant. No aftertaste which was shocking and not overly sweet. I don't know for sure about the bad breath as I didn't go around... +
I find no fault in this apart from it's not easy to find but that shouldn't affect the review. I found the taste pleasant. No aftertaste which was shocking and not overly sweet. I don't know for sure about the bad breath as I didn't go around testing that lol but I trusted in this product enough to feel confident in that matter (more so than any generic lozenge or mint). The fact that a probiotic doubles as a mint/lozenge is a huge plus. I do love that it's a natural product so I definitely recommend it. -

I was first impressed with how durable it is since the first time I used it was to remove a clay mask. It didn't deteriorate after use or even wash. I was able to soak it under the faucet several times. It's pretty big so if you don't wear a lot of makeup, I'd say cut it in half and get more out of it. Both sides seem to be the same texture unlike other wipes. It was extremely soft. They must've smeared some moisturizing paste on both sides as it actually didn't feel rough to the touch. I don't even have sensitive skin and most wipes leave me feeling burnt.
It did however, leave my dry areas stinging for a bit but I tend to rub there to exfoliate a bit. So it isn't super gentle but it is the best I've tried so far. So I'm well impressed! Also took the pic off of Walmart so there's a nice pic up there lol.

I love this brand so I had high hopes and it didn't disappoint. I like the pump packaging as it's easy and less mess. It is very lightweight and absorbs fast but my skin has been very dry past few years so that could just be my thirsty skin lol. I do use more than 1 full pump because of that as I always include my neck. I don't use it by itself during the day as I like an spf moisturizer so if it's a no makeup day, then this is my go-to up until nighttime. Not much of a scent which is a plus. I'm always up for anything with HA in it and I'm happy more and more western products are making it the star ingredient that it is. I'm pleased with it and will purchase in the future -

Rarely do I give a full 5 stars but I love everything about this product.
I am really sensitive to strong smells, so the fact that the scent on this is mild just made it more fantastic. It's kind of citrus-y but I can't place it.
The main thing about this are the ingredients. I use rosehip oil on the regular so I am happy that it's incorporated here but it's a tricky one as it could cause comedones. I've been ok so far however, and usually I get the odd hormonal breakout but it's been ok so far. I am crazy about the walnut shells as the exfoliators. I mean, who thinks of that? Lol it's genius.
I've tried countless of facial scrubs and most dry you out or at least feel dry afterward. I don't feel as dry with this but I haven't ph tested it so I will skip on commenting fully on this part for now.
Overall, I will purchase this in the future.
