I'm usually wary about products that are dual purpose, so I was a bit afraid to try this product as a facial cleanser. Luckily, I was pleasantly surprised! After trying this on both body and face, I have to say that I much prefer it as a facial cleanser. It's effective as a body wash as well, but I feel like there's nothing particularly spectacular about it in that regard. I suffer from eczema and found that it didn't exacerbate that so that's a plus. But as a facial cleanser, you definitely get more bang for your buck. This is a massive-sized bottle which will last forever. Plus, I found the consistency of the cleanser to feel exactly like my favourite Simple cleanser but much better value. It cleanses my skin without irritating it. It didn't strip my skin of its natural oils, and it also didn't break me out. Overall, I'm quite impressed that this dual product is indeed noncomedogenic. The value is amazing if you're using this primarily as a facial cleanser and it's incredibly gentle and won't aggravate your skin. An overall win! -

I received this item for free in exchange for an honest review. I have oily body skin and have always had problems with finding a moisturizer that would actually absorb into my skin without leaving a film or feeling tacky. So far, I've been very happy with this product. It has a gel-cream texture that absorbs into my skin very quickly and doesn't feel heavy. It hydrates my skin immediately and gives a nice cool sensation. Because of that, I think this will be a great moisturizer particularly for the summertime. It has a really nice, light scent so it won't compete if you're wearing perfume. Overall, I'm really impressed with this product. It's the perfect lightweight moisturizer for those of use with oily skin. -

I was super excited to have been selected to test out this brow hair remover by Butterly. My brows grow like weeds and need to be managed every day, so I was hoping something like this would come in handy. Unfortunately, after using it over the past week, I find that it isn't really effective. It works okay to clip very fine hairs, but most of my brow hairs that need removing are thicker than fine, which doesn't work at all with this product. I found that the remover would cut off half of the thicker hairs, which meant I still had to go in with my tweezers to pluck the hairs. I think that this product is probably great for people with fine brows. For anyone with average to thicker hair won't find this product very helpful in hair removal. As an add-on, I wish that this product was rechargeable! It comes with a battery which is handy, but I have another facial hair remover that is rechargeable which creates a lot less battery waste!

PanOxyl PM Blemish Brightening Patches

I was selected by Butterly to try these overnight patches for free. I read that these patches work best on pimples that are whiteheads (not blind pimples) so that's what I tried. First of all, I'm impressed that these managed to stay on my face overnight. I have very oily skin and thought they'd disappear off my face by the next morning. Unfortunately, I didn't find these effective at all. The next morning, I would always wake up to a whitehead. These patches are meant to absorb/draw out/get rid of fluids and whiteheads and I found no difference between using these patches and when I leave pimples to reabsorb on their own. They just didn't work for me at all, so I wouldn't recommend or repurchase. -

I was selected to try this product for free through the Butterly program. I love salted caramel. It's a flavour I look out for whenever sweets are involved, so I was really excited to try out the Salty Caramel Crunch Super Premium ice cream. First of all, the consistency of the ice cream is the exact same as Chapman's regular ice cream products. It isn't creamier or anything, so I'm assuming that the Super Premium claim comes from the fact it's jam-packed with add-ins. There are a lot of toffee bits and crunchy cookie bits. I wasn't a big fan of the 'cookie' bits. They were just crispy nodules like a harder corn pop. I was expecting something a little softer, like what you get in cookies and cream ice cream. I ate this product in half-cup servings, which is less than the recommended serving size. About halfway through, my throat started burning from how sweet it is. It's obnoxiously sweet, which completely masks any flavour the ice cream has. Overall, I'm not impressed with this ice cream. The ice cream itself isn't creamier or smoother than their regular ice cream products. The only difference between their regular ice cream and this version is that it's overstuffed with add-ins that make it too sweet to be able to enjoy. -

I was excited to try out this product since I'm a big fan of cleansing oils for removing makeup. As much as I loved this product, I found there was literally no difference in its effectiveness when compared to my current, budget priced cleansing oil. That being said, it is super effective. It really gets off all your makeup so that's good. Overall it's a good product, just not worth the money when there are more affordable versions. -

I received a sample of this product for free by Chickadvisor to test for a review. I was really excited to try this product, as my oily skin loves gel-like moisturizers. The consistency of this product is like a mix between a gel and a cream -- really nice! This product is fragranced, but it isn't so overpowering that it's obnoxious. The only thing I must critique is the 72 hour hydration claim. As I said, I have oily skin, and this product made my face feel so tight and dry which never happens with my regular gel or cream moisturizers. Not only that, but it caused horrible clogging all over my chin and nasty whiteheads. Because of those two things, I unfortunately wouldn't recommend this product. If it's not suitable for my aggressively oily skin, it won't cut it for someone drier than me! -

I received a coupon to try this product for free from @Chickadvisor.
I was really disappointed in this pizza, size-wise, flavour-wise, and price-wise. I couldn't believe how expensive it was for a personal pizza. For the same price or less you could get a larger thin crust pizza.
As for the pizza itself, it's pretty mediocre. The crust is a bit strange. It's like crispy, flaky, and buttery. It's like if a Ritz Cracker decided it wanted to be a pizza. The pizza was pretty inconsistent in texture. I baked this in a toaster oven. The bottom was very crispy, yet for some reason when I picked up the slices, the portion with the toppings was so wet and soggy on top that it decided to separate itself from the crispy crust. It was a mess to eat. The toppings were bland and skimpy. I found there wasn't much flavour overall and ended up having to add more toppings to give it flavour. Overall, it's poor value and I'd never purchase this again. There are better, bigger, and cheaper frozen pizzas on the market. I could make a more flavourful pita pizza at home with pantry items.

I was fortunate enough to have been selected by Chickadvisor to try this product for free. First of all, the bottle is massive! There's a lot of product in here! I was very impressed by that. When I first started using this product, I found that it seemed almost it identical to Phisoderm. The consistency and the way it cleanses is so similar to Phisoderm that I don't think I'd be able to tell the difference. I really like that it's fragrance free and that it doesn't lather. Because of that, I think it would be a really great cleanser in the winter because it feels like it doesn't strip your skin as much as other cleansers that are made for acne prone skin. And that's another great part of this cleanser as well. So many of my other cleansers make my skin feel really tight after cleansing. I don't experience that at all with this product. It really is very gentle, hasn't irritated my skin, and has made my skin feel supple and soft. Overall, I'm really happy with this product. You get a lot of product for your money, and only need to use a little to cleanse. I feel like this is a more affordable version of Phisoderm that I'll definitely be switching to once all my Phisoderm is gone. I'm a very happy customer! -
