Pros: don't contain alcohol, therefore less potential to irritate the skin; tons of product on each pad, which means you can use only half at a time and it lasts a long time; cheap; and smells kind of nice, though the fragrance is probably irritating for some people; it also works really well to clear out sebaceous filaments (those thigns that seem like clogged white pores on your nose, lower lip, forehead, etc.). Helps heal pimples but can also cause purging/
Cons: can be very drying, not that effective at getting rid of acne very quickly. Not great at helping with closed comedones.
I'd try this to start but might choose a different salicylic acid product in teh future.
Also this is not available in Canada ;(

Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion with Pure Cocoa Butter

This stuff is pretty thick, more like a cream than a lotion, and creamier even than the body butter. It doesn't spread that well but it is pretty moisturizing, but I would recommend it for the hands more than the body just because of the packaging it's in and the way it's hard to spread. Smells like the other lotions in the cocoa line, works great as a moisturizer for dry skin, and isn't that expensive, but it's not life-changing. -

This mascara is not water-proof but extremely water resistant, which is the main thing that stood out to me. I liked that it didn't rub off as soon as water got on my lashes, but that also made it tough to remove without eye makeup remover. It goes on nicely and is great if you're looking for something that is not overly dramatic, but that adds length and volume and reaches all your lashes quite evenly (since i haven't found a mascara that is totally clump free). However it's pretty expensive so based on the price I wouldn't recommend it. -

This cleanser is really gentle on skin and so I would recommend trying it if you have sensitive, acne prone, or dry skin. However, it does not seem to completely cleanse the skin and traces of dirt are left behind, even though I don't use make up so you need to really massage it properly and then rinse it off. So I wouldn't necessarily recommend it as your sole cleanser if you have very oily skin or if you wear a lot of make up. It also takes a while to get used to because it doesn't lather. -

This lightweight lotion makes my skin feel so smooth and soft immediately after applying. It absorbs so quickly and is great for oily skin, because it doesn't leave a trace of shine! However, if you have drier or combination skin it might not be moisturizing enough for the drier areas. Usually a little goes a long way of this lotion and it can last a long time if you don't need too much additional moisture. Since I recently moved to a drier climate I need to use a lot more to satisfy my face's moisture needs and at the product is too expensive to use that much of on a daily basis,. Would highly recommend for oily skin, but unfortunately it is a bit expensive. -
