PanOxyl PM Balancing Repair Moisturizer has a lightweight texture and makes my skin look and feel smooth and matte the next morning. I was nervous to try this at first because it contains niacinamide, which sometimes breaks me out. But I haven't had any new breakouts so far.
The moisturizer has a strange scent that I can't quite put my finger on, but I can look past it and continue using it. Unfortunately it's not very moisturizing, so it may not work for you if you have super dry or dehydrated skin. Probably best to use this moisturizer during the summer months.

I like the creamy texture of this acne cleanser, and that it doesn't strip my skin or cause sensitivities. The downside is that it smells like chlorine, and bleaches my towels and pillow cases no matter how careful I am. I've used benzoyl peroxide in the past and knew about the bleaching effects, so I use white towels to dry my face and hands when I'm using this cleanser. But I still somehow manage to get minor bleach spots on my nice grey hand towels, and grey pillow cases. For this reason, it's so much easier to stick with other acne cleansers that don't contain fabric-bleaching ingredients.

I've been using PanOxyl Balancing Renewal Moisturizer for a few weeks after cleansing my skin before bed, and so far so good! The consistency is light, and I don't notice a particular scent. My skin looks and feels smooth and matte the next morning. I was nervous to try this at first because it contains niacinamide, which sometimes breaks me out. But I haven't had any new breakouts so far. Might not be moisturizing enough for winter use, but it's just right during spring and summer months.

I'm in my 40s, I have combination skin, and am currently dealing with hormonal acne breakouts. Salicylic acid is not effective in getting rid of my hormonal acne (if it was, I wouldn't still have acne at my age!). However, I like to use PanOxyl Clarifying Exfoliant to keep the rest of my pores clean and clear, and to help minimize the inflammation of the hormonal cysts on my jawline and lower chin. This exfoliant is mild, does not break me out, is not drying, and is unscented. Many anti-acne products have a strong alcohol or menthol scent, so it's nice to find an exfoliant that doesn't smell!

YSL's new Lashclash Extreme Volume mascara does not live up to its name! I've read a lot of positive reviews for this, but my experience wasn't great. It did not perform nearly as well as other inexpensive drugstore mascaras in my collection: it barely deposited any mascara onto my lashes. I'm wondering if I received a defective product, or if it's just not a match for my lashes. -

I was pleasantly surprised by the shape and size of these PanOxyl PM Blemish Brightening patches! Patches from other brands tend to be very small, but these were able to target multiple breakouts at once. They helped decrease the inflammation of my pimples, but I can’t comment on their brightening effect, as I did not use them long enough to notice a difference in skintone.

I appreciate that Chapman's new Super Premium Plus ice cream is peanut free, nut free and egg free. The texture is ultra-creamy and luxurious. Flavour is delicious! Will repurchase.

This cleansing oil does a good job of removing stubborn sunscreen and full-coverage makeup. However, there seems to be an ingredient in here that causes slight irritation. Could it be one of the botanical oils? Also, the oil does not rinse away completely clean. You basically have to double-rinse afterwards if you're looking for that fresh feeling. -

Adorable packaging, and I love the fruity scent of these sheer lip crayons! I keep trying other sheer tinted balms from other brands, but I always come back to this one because I like the product's formulation and the rounded shape of the crayon. I've repurchased 3 shades multiple times: Juicy Apple (sheer medium pink), Neon Red (sheer medium pink), and Juicy Cherry (sheer pinkish red). Juicy Apple and Neon Red are extremely similar, so it's not worth owning both at the same time. I owned them at different times so I wasn't able to do a side-by-side comparison, but I just remember them looking very similar on me. I have very pale lips, so I'm able to wear these on their own and they show up quite a bit. If I want to be fancy, I'll pair this with a lip liner to make it stand out even more. -

This serum has a lightweight, watery consistency and a gorgeous, fresh scent that reminds me of aloe, cucumbers, and seaweed. I was pleasantly surprised that this serum did not oxidize on my skin and smell like metallic "hot dog water" like every other Vitamin C product I've used lol!
This product goes on a little sticky for me, but it sinks in within 10-15 minutes. It does NOT fade my hyperpigmentation. That's fine, because I've never found a product to fade my stubborn hyperpigmentation (tretinoin/Retin-A doesn't even fade my dark spots). What this serum DOES do is make my skin feel silky and look glowy, so I would definitely repurchase!
