I received these patches at a perfect time. I had just gotten over a massive painful pimple, and because I had picked at it (gross, I know), it left a bit of redness and a dark area after it healed. The aforementioned dark area was on the side of my nose, so I had to cut the patches in order to use it because they were quite large, which I liked. This allowed me to customize the size of the area that needed the patch. The colour has faded and has actually completely gone away. Now I did also use my vitamin c serum and my topical AHA/BHA in my regular rotation which also helps with fading scars and marks so I can't say that this patch was the only thing that faded the spot but it definitely didn't hurt and I did see a slight improvement after the first night with the patch on.

Before I posted this review I wanted to make sure that I thoroughly tested this product. I get regular headaches and migraines and I tested it on both. I took this on multiple occasions at the beginning of a headache and it took about 10-15 minutes before my headaches were completely gone. I couldn't believe it. These are now my go-to product for headache relief. I believe that the addition of the caffeine really helps get the pain relief going through you and stops the pain fast. As for migraines it did not provide the same relief that it provided for my headaches so I'll have to take something different for that. I still highly recommend this for your regular headaches. -

This eczema cream is more like a balm. Not too thick but thick enough to create a protective barrier. I used it in combination with the AVEENO Eczema Care Rescue Relief Treatment Gel Cream. I think that the gel made most of the difference, and I recommend trying the gel in combination with this cream for stubborn eczema. This cream would be fine on its own if you don't have a full-blown eczema flare up or as a preventative. It is unscented and very moisturizing. It really does protect your skin. My skin was not doing well when I got this cream, and this and the rescue gel saves my skin. Highly recommended as a combo. Use the gel first and let it sit for five minutes, then follow with the cream. The gel stops the itch and irritation, and the cream seals the moisture in. -

I normally don't have issues with eczema and thought that I would be passing this on to my daughter who suffers year round with eczema, but as funny as it sounds I started dealing with several spots of eczema that I just could not get rid of about a month before receiving this product. I really wish that I had taken before and after pictures of my skin but I really didn't think that it would help me since nothing else has. I had been to my doctor and got a cream that helped for a bit, but then the eczema returned with a vengeance. I had a large area on my neck, near my arm pits and some spots on my hands and arms. The day before receiving this item the ones on my hand and neck were very red, angry and super itchy. Overnight with the application of this gel and the Aveeno cream it stopped itching and the redness diminised. I woke up the next morning with about an 80% improvement, which was crazy to me. Prior to this, I used everything. Barrier creams, Vaseline, Aquaphor, skin repair serums, oils, balms... shall I go on? This stuff is a miracle. The texture is lightweight and gel like, yet moisturizing. A little goes a long way. It does have an AHA in it (alpha hydroxy acid) which I use normally on my face to help keep my skin clear. I wouldn't have thought to use it on my eczema, but it works. It eased the itch right away and had an almlst cooling sensation. Make sure to use a sunscreen as it can increase the chance of sunburn. I have already recommended this to several people. -

I was so excited to try this deodorant since I'm a big fan of Dove's regular deodorant stick. I like that Dove is trying to be greener and cleaner, but I found this lacking what I needed in a deodorant.
I have a very physical job that includes a lot of movement and heavy lifting. I sweat a fair bit and require a deodorant that will hold up. This didn't do the job.
First, there was the smell. I'm a fan of citrus and this smells really good I'm just not a fan of the citrus smell in my arm pits. It clashed with the scent of my perfume. I prefer a light, clean fragrance. Also I found that the smell combined with the sweat and didn't smell very good and left me feeling self conscious at work.
The consistency of the deodorant was similar to Dove's regular deodorant, it was soft and silky and made my armpits feel nice.
I'll hold on to this deodorant for my off days or when I'm not too physical but I definitely won't be using this for work days or sticky, hot, summer days.

Aveeno® Essential Moisture Lip Conditioner with SPF 15
Great product. Not at all waxy or sticky, just smooth like butter. Last for a long time. I've used both lip conditioners this one as well as the blue boxed one which has a minty tingle, love them both!

I love this make-up remover!
I have sensitive skin and I am acne prone so i was looking for a gentle make-up remover and the beauty consultant recommended this product about 2 years ago, ever since then I have used nothing else. It's Hypoallergenic, ph balanced, and alcohol, soap and colorant free.
I was hesitant to buy this because of it's price but a little goes a long way. It soothes your skin and is not irritating there is no need to rub hard this product takes your make up off with ease. It is also very gentle on the eyes which is important since I wear contact lenses. It says there is no need to rinse but I still do.
