I always have dry lips and am always applying something to them, and I enjoy having this in my rotation.
CONS: I find the mint to be too strong on dried out lips so much so that it can burn
PROS: the mint is a very nice flavour/smell, you dont notice that its on, its thick so it lasts
My boyfriend swears that it is the only lip balm he will use.

I like this concealer for a budget friendly option. I find the thin light formula great for an everyday use, and it does build on my face to cover up blemishes.
CONS: the sponge is unsanitary, it can take some work to get a decent amount out, the design of the bottle means there is some that can't be gotten out
PROS: thin/lightweight, decent coverage, buildable
I have not noticed anything with dark circles, but I do not have large ones. My main complaint with this is that there needs to be a lighter shade. The fair shade is a match for me, but not much help for under the eye are to create that highlight look. If they were to add in a porcelain shade I would rate 5 stars.

To be clear this is the acne MARK treatment because it contains both salicylic acid (2%), and glycolic acid to help prevent acne marks.
I have sensitive acne prone skin that is extremely dry and has been suffering from some hormonal cystic acne for the last several months.
CONS: smell is a bit strong if it is near nose, tube tends to force gel out so its hard to end up with just a small amount, the glycolic acid seems to make no difference IMO
PROS: works well for keeping acne from growing larger, and helps clear up anything that may be remaining in a spot once it has been emptied
I find this to work well on acne that has been squeezed because it is able to get into the pore rather than just sitting on top. I find it has made a difference to the time it takes a pimple to go away, as well as the size it is able to reach if applied right away. I do not feel that the glycolic acid makes any difference.

My eye area is always very dry and I have a lot of fine lines/crepey-ness, I also deal with a few milia that routinely pop-up ranging from small to medium sized.
CONS: could be alittle more moisturizing
PROS: I really do like the application because it is easy to squeeze out a perfect pea sized amount, seems to have kept my milia from regenerating, doesn't not dry out the area, or cause any burning/tightness
I have not noticed a large improvement in my fine lines, but I am moslty doing this as a preventative/moisturizer. If you are looking for a large improvement in fine lines you are most likely going to want something stronger. I do wish this was sightly cheaper because I feel it is just a basic eye cream, but I don't mind the price considering it is the best eye cream I have tried so far.

I have sensitive acne prone skin that is extremely dry and has been suffering from some hormonal cystic acne for the last several months.
CONS: there needs to be a better system for the application since squeezing out globs and trying to get all of the gel from finger to face is not great, leaves large thick dry skin flakes behind.
PROS: seems to really help things not turn into large painful bumps, stays on your face once dry even through sleeping
Overall I would recommend this if you are wanting to see a shorter time for a spot to heal, and hope to minimize it before it even pops up. Be prepared to deal with the dry spots it leaves behind.

I have dry and sensitive skin that gets more sensitive if I allow it to get dry, and this was the perfect balance between moisture and controlling oil on my nose underneath makeup.
CONS: the bottle design was bad
PROS: great smell, moisturized and helped with oil, didn't clog pores
I found that this was the perfect thing for me under makeup to avoid any greasy-ness to come through my makeup. The price was also great.
It is discontinued, in Canada atleast.

I have fine and dry hair that I do not colour or use heat on and I am always searching for products to smooth and add shine.
CONS: the smell is strong (but nice), doesn't really provide 5 benefits
PROS: adds shine and softness
The main reason I purchased this was the price, $8 for 750mL.
As a general conditioner it is decent and makes my hair look, feel, and smell nice but if you are looking for serious repair or change in your hair than I would try something else.
I recommend this as a good budget conditioner.

I have very dry and sensitive skin that gets more sensitive if I allow it to get dry, and this toner allows me to have an easy and quick cleanser of sorts as well as providing a final step in makeup removal.
CONS: none
PROS: nice smell, cleanses, doesn't dry out skin, gentle enough to dab over the eye area for makeup cleanup, no clogged pores
If you are like me and enjoy having a few different steps in a skin care routine, or want to make sure that all of your makeup has been removed after cleansing than this is the perfect thing at a great price.

I have extremely dry and sensitive skin that gets more sensitive if I allow it to get dry, and this cleanser is great for making my face feel clean without leaving it dry and tight.

I have extremely dry and sensitive skin that becomes more sensitive if I allow it to get dry, but I feel that using this moisturizer regularly helps with the dryness-especially in the Canadian winter.
CONS: strong fragrance, can feel greasy if a thick layer is applied to face
PROS: moisturizing and helps flatten any flaky-ness, soaks in quickly as long as too much isn't applied, has not seemed to clog my pores or cause breakouts, no stinging when applied to the eye area or an extremely dry spot
I have been using this moisturizer for about 2 months.
