I have very dry, sometimes sensitive skin, but also an aversion to oily or greasy textures, so I'm always on the look-out for a moisturizer than can hydrate my skin without a icky residue. I think the product is one of the best I've found that does all that.
It has an unusual texture, silky yet dry, and a very light scent (which I was not a fan of - thankfully it's quite minimal). The product absorbs and dries quicky on my skin which I appreciate. It doesn't have that lushius feeling on a creamier moisturizer, but for those of us who don't like the greasy feeling or who have any skin sensitivities, this product is great!

Simply, this is a light gel-like moisturizer that makes my skin feel soft and moisturized without also feeling greasy or clogged. It feels silky when put on, and spread well so a little goes a long way. It dries relatively quickly without making my skin feel tight, but also doesn't make my skin stick to my pillow. It is good for sensitive skin and has no scent.

I love that this product has a very effective active ingredient, but it doesn't sting my skin at all, like comparable products. I used this daily and didn't have any negative skin interactions, and then used it just as needed when I felt a blemish coming up. I thought it was very effective in preventing blemishes or stopping them from getting worse. I'm also happy to report that it works perfectly fine with reusable cotton pads. I think this is a great product for anyone to add to their routine, even those with sensitive skin.

PanOxyl Acne Wash – 4% Benzoyl Peroxide Cream

I was really pleased with how well this product worked. There was a slight smell and tingle on my skin, but not too irritating or long-lasting. It's an odd texture to work with as it feels like a gel so it doesn't foam up like other face washes. I found that after frequent use (and as little as 1 use) my skin looked clearer and felt cleaner than usual. It is important to note that this product should be kept on the skin for 2 minutes before rinsing off. I didn't have any negative interactions with my skin, so I would definitely recommend this to people with sensitive skin.

I was so excited to try this product because I need moisturizer AND sun protection, and those things can't always be found in 1 product (or not well). Sunblock often clogs my pores and looks greasy, so when I saw this was "lightweight" and "absorbs excess oil" with SPF 30, I thought I finally found exactly what I've been waiting for.
Sadly, no. This was one of the worst products I've tried, both as a moisturizer and sunblock (to be fair, it was not sunny enough during my testing period to try out the efficacy of the sun protection). It was so thick and I could not rub it in enough to not have white streaks, lines, and residue on my skin. It also had this gritty texture which scratched my skin. It feels oily, and although I didn't have any negative interactions with my skin, it looked and felt so bad that I wouldn't not wear it or recommend it.

I've tried many moisturizers and this is one of the most unique, but I like it, mostly for the silky texture. It feels like the thicker version of it's hydro boost serum sister, so I found putting this on after that one a little redundant. It goes on smoothly (don't need very much for coverage) and dries to matte quickly without making my skin feel tight. It really has no scent, and I didn't have any negative skin interactions, so it's perfect for those with sensitive skin. I just found that it didn't have any other benefits than any other serum or moisturizer, which is why I can't give it 5 stars.

I've tried A LOT of serums and this is one of the better ones in my opinion, mostly for the silky texture. It feels like the thinner version of it's gel cream sister, so I found putting this on before that one a little redundant. It dispenses nicely, does on smoothly (don't need very much for coverage) and dries to matte quickly without making my skin feel tight. It really has no scent, and I didn't have any negative skin interactions, so it's perfect for those with sensitive skin. I just found that it didn't have any other benefits than any other serum or moisturizer, which is why I can't give it 5 stars.

I find flavored coffees to be pretty hit or miss, but this is definitely the best I've ever had. It reminds me of a french vanilla cappuccino powder product, with the good quality vanilla flavor, but with the definite taste of coffee. I think it benefits from a little bit of sweetener/sugar I don't think coffee-purists will like it because of the flavoring (my partner being one of them), but if you like flavored coffee and/or french vanilla, you'll love this product.

I was really disappointed in this product. I have had lots of breakouts lately, and was relieved to receive this product. Unfortunately, it did nothing. Although the patch comes off with some white gunk on it, the blemish looks no different after having it on all night. And after multiple uses I can definitely say it didn't speed up any healing process (possibly slowed it down by having it covered?). The only positive is that it prevented my from picking at the blemish, which I am prone to do. There are no medicinal ingredients, so I can't really expect much, but I was still disappointed.
Unfortunately, I cannot recommend the Might Patch due to lack of effectiveness.

Full disclosure: I cannot speak to the efficacy of this product. I only received a 2 day supply as a sample and I did not have any cold or flu symptoms during the trial period, which this product is supposed to provide relief of.
But they taste good. The taste and texture is exactly like a good soft candy. I'm truly not sure how different they are from candy as the second ingredient is cane sugar. Although not applicable to me, these gummies are free from a lot of allergens. I've tried a few similar products over time, and many have off-putting flavors that I can't stomach, so this is an improvement.
I wish I was able to try these gummies over a long period of time, especially if I was feeling unwell so that I can speak to how well they work.
